The Whaling Station Steakhouse has debuted the new American Wagyu Prime Rib as menu offering that's perfect for supporting diners seeking out a high-quality, regional meal experience. The prime rib is sourced from Snake River Farms to ensure the utmost attention to quality, and has undergone Whaling Stations's four-week aging process before being cooked to perfection. The prime rib can be ordered in 12-ounce and 16-ounce cuts, and comes with your choice of house accompaniments.
Owner of The Whaling Station Steakhouse Kevin Phillips spoke on the American Wagyu Prime Rib launch saying, "Snake River Farms American Wagyu offers a flavor experience that’s simply on another level. Our guests deserve the very best, and this is one more way we’re raising the bar on what a great steakhouse experience should be."
