Fine Wagyu butcher shop & restaurant serving burgers, steaks
"Before it was a brick-and-mortar in Coral Gables, the team behind Shadow Wagyu sourced wagyu beef for NBA players with a lot of calories to burn. Now, it’s a butcher shop that doubles as a restaurant and serves wagyu everything: burgers, hotdogs, and steaks. The shop took over the neighboring storefront, which added about 20 seats (most of which are part of a long metal communal table). They don’t take reservations, but it's worth popping in for their steak frites and burger. The steak is (of course) wagyu and served with delicious fries that are cooked in wagyu tallow. In fact, everything here is cooked in wagyu fat. The burger is almost cartoonishly thick with buttery bib lettuce, tomatoes, and melted cheese on a potato bun that sucks up all the drippings." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"Wagyu burgers are often disappointing because it’s hard to cook a patty with so much fat. They fall apart, get overcooked and lose all of that flavor, or get buried in too many condiments. But Shadow Wagyu has an 8oz thick boy with soft bib lettuce, tomatoes, and melted cheese that hugs the curves of this tender patty. We like ours medium rare so we can really taste how buttery the meat is. But even if you get it well done (you deviant), the potato bun sucks up all the juicy burger drippings." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Shadow Wagyu’s burger is an 8oz thick boy with soft bib lettuce, tomatoes, and melted cheese that hugs the curves of this tender patty. Like everything here, the patty is made from wagyu (it would be a crime to smash it) and we like ours medium rare so we can really taste how buttery the meat is. But even if you get it well done (you maniac), the potato bun sucks up all the juicy burger drippings." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo

"If eating at a steakhouse feels like a fancy dinner party, then Shadow Wagyu is like eating over the kitchen sink at 1am. Don't expect a restaurant when you walk in here. It's technically a meat shop that will also cook some of its steak for you. You’ll be eating it off a kitchen prep table surrounded by graffiti. But thankfully they know how to handle their own product. We like the tender wagyu skirt steak. But anything that’s ever grazed on grass is delicious here." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
