Why Eddie Merlot's why was this picked

Eddie Merlot's posts no Japanese A5 on its current Polaris dinner menu, so read this slot as the wagyu fallback on the list. Its wagyu section runs Australian Rangers Valley beef, with an MS9+ filet at $79 for 6 ounces or $99 for 8 and a 16-ounce MS7/8+ ribeye at $99. American wagyu from Snake River Farms shows up as an 18-ounce bone-in strip for $79. The lounge runs a happy hour Monday through Thursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at 1570 Polaris Pkwy.

  • MS9+ Rangers Valley filet in 6 and 8 ounce cuts
  • Snake River Farms bone-in wagyu strip
  • No Japanese A5 listed on the current menu

Know before you go

Eddie Merlot's on Polaris Parkway covers north-metro steak nights with Signature Beef Carpaccio on the Columbus dinner menu and a dedicated Wagyu section. It is third on our best beef carpaccio list and Best Overall on our best A5 Wagyu ranking because Ryan locked the tableside hot-rock Wagyu experience as the reason to go first. Polaris keeps the drive simple for Dublin and Lewis Center tables.

Confirm which Wagyu cuts are in house the day you dine. Private dining helps for birthdays that want the showpiece tableside moment without a crowded main floor.

Parking
Polaris Parkway lot and shopping-center parking around the restaurant.
Reservations
Reservations strongly recommended for weekend steak and Wagyu nights.
Tip
For the Best Overall A5 Wagyu lock, ask about tableside hot-rock service when you book so the kitchen can stage it.
