Cochon on 2nd
Williamsburg, VA · New American
Tier 3 · Menu claim only What the tiers mean
Wagyu from $48 on the menu we read · up to $72
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
A chef-driven wood-fired restaurant in the Shops at Second Street, minutes from Colonial Williamsburg, serving dinner Tuesday to Sunday. Its Wagyu NY Strip tops the entree list at $72, well clear of the $43 heritage pork chop and the $37 salmon, so this is a headline steak rather than a garnish. The menu gives it only a sauce, with no country, grade or ranch attached. The kitchen names Babe Farms and Kelrae Farms for its produce and Prime Black-Angus for its bar-menu tenderloin, so the Wagyu is the one beef it leaves undescribed.
Authenticity flags
- The $72 Wagyu NY Strip is listed by name only. No country, grade or ranch is given for the beef anywhere on the site, so there is no published way to tell whether it is Japanese or American Wagyu, and those are very different products at very different prices. The same kitchen names Prime Black-Angus on its bar-menu tenderloin and names the farms behind its lettuce and its tomatoes, so it does describe its ingredients when it chooses to. Ask your server where the Wagyu comes from before you order.

Common questions
- Does Cochon on 2nd serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on August 17, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Cochon on 2nd serve?
- Its menu discloses unknown. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Cochon on 2nd listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
