Angus Barn Reviews

It s an absolutely lovely restaurant that s great for just about any celebration, business meeting or just dinner out. There s lots of seating and multileveled. Up the stairs there s a more intimate eating area with a bar and a piano player that makes any evening more enjoyable. There s plenty of free parking with a valet outside if the need is there.

Always a 5 star experience at the Angus Barn. So many go to menu items! Ribs are my favorite, but steaks are amazing as well. Gotta get the chocolate chess pie too!

The experience is beyond what a normal restaurant provides. The ambience here is amazing. From the moment you drive into the parking lot, especially if you're at night, the lights and parking sites are amazing. Enter into the outdoor bar area which is your waiting area and be greeted by very nice appointed waiting area. As you walk to the table look at all the items on the walls, the chandeliers, the accoutrements throughout the building. Very nicely appointed. Food here is pricey but the menu has a lot of variety and offerings. Ordered Ribeye and it was a nice 24 oz cut. Very tasty.

Great experience all around . The waiter was fantastic

Angus Barn is the Gold Standard for outstanding customer service, delicious food and "bucket list" memories. It is my favorite place to celebrate.

We ate in the main restaurant. The waiter was good, but for the price you are paying you expect more attention. The steak was good, but it ends there. Sides were not impressive, not even good. They tasted and looked like cafeteria sides. Extremely disappointing and extremely overrated/overpriced.

Service was exceptional! The staff is extremely helpful and kind. Our waitress was Jessica and she went above and beyond her duties. Thank you Jessica!

Ok service, need to check their steaks before serving them, one I got was 50% fat... not that great...

One of the best dining experiences I have ever had. The food might be expensive but it is worth every dollar you spend. They have some of the tenderest and juciest steak I have ever tasted.

Classic Raleigh restaurant. Best environment and service in town.

Great staff, visit here for Christmas is great experience, complementary gingerbread cookies you can have a drink in the wild turkey bar while you wait for you table

Angus Barn is always great. Its an experience more than a meal. Typically more than you can eat and on the more expensive side. You can expect $100-$150 for a couple on average outside of alcoholic beverages but worth it. I've never had a bad experience there.

This was the first time I had been to Angus Barn and it was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time. The food was outstanding and the service top-notch.

The food is good, but for the prices, you can find a nicer steak house at at least a few other area restaurants. You're really paying for the setting here.

Always great food and service. Our go to place for special occasions.

For the price, the quality just didn t match up. Of course it was crazy busy, but that s no excuse for a place that is always crazy busy. My steak that I ordered medium was rare (no joke). My sweet potato fries were undercooked and not crispy. They definitely do all they can to make up for these things but it didn t leave me feeling very impressed overall.

Service was excellent, Prime rib was good. French onion soup was not hot and cheese hadn't completely melted. Stuffed potato was yucky. Salad were delicious as were the desserts. Girls loved decorating a cake for us. Perfect treat for our anniversary dinner from our children.

The complimentary "cheese-whiz" its delicious
Staff is great, kind, helpful
Food (steak) is mediocre.. I've had much better steak at Texas Roadhouse for half the price.. Not sure why everyone gushes about this place..

Not that impressed. Food was average. My three cheese ravioli was cold when I was served. Over priced and the restaurant and staff did not live up to all that I had read about it. Very disappointed!!

Food was amazing, service was great, wonderful experience

Fantastic. Crab claws are divine, expesso rub filet, just perfect!

Always a Great dining experience. Fantastic food and service. Great value!!

Loved the food and service. Celebrated my Birthday. Wonderful place for special occasions.

Very unique place and every time I'm in Raleigh I make sure I have a night at the meat locker!

Everything was wonderful. Service great, food unbelieveable, soooo good. Enjoyed very much. Can't wait to visit again.

Food is always amazing and the service is incredible!

Food was wonderful, venue literally a barn so a very nice settings.

Best stake house in US, period! The food is great, and they have one of the best Restorant service I ve seen! Everyone is very helpful to help, share some of the place history, recommended what else you can do in the region! Make sure you have a reservation before going there! They have a wine cellar with more than 1500 different types of wines! If you want to see them just ask at the front desk for a private tour of the place!

Went to an event at the Pavilion and was blown away at the location. Beautiful, amazing food and fantastic service!

We love Angus Barn. The food, the atmosphere, and the staff. We always leave happy and full.

Angus Barn is seriously one of my favorite places in Raleigh, and the whole triangle for that matter. The employees are awesome (and treated very well they will tell you), the food is amazing (potato wedges, steak salad, turkey wings, etc.), the drinks are really good, and the atmosphere can't be beat. It is a must visit if you are in town.

Great meal with excellent wine and the service was perfect. They make you feel like a valuable patron.

Dee-licious. That's really all there is to say. Always enjoy going to the Angus Barn!!

I've been to Angus Barn a few times over the years, and each time I came away with a different impression of the place.

This time, it was a birthday celebration: mine.

We were seated at a table in the main room, already filling up and noisy mere minutes after opening. A slight disappointment, as my previous seating had us in a quiet, intimate side room.

But no matter; in short order our server introduced herself, took our drink orders, got us Angus Barn's signature crackers and cheese dips, shortly followed by their warm and yeasty rolls with luscious honey butter.

Before we knew it, our appetizers appeared: A generously-sized shrimp cocktail (you will not have enough of their house-made sauce; ask for more.) Lovely warm oysters Rockefeller served, in the shell, on a bed of rock salt.

And then, the entrees.

Of course, with a name like Angus Barn, you'd expect their beef game to be strong -- and it is. But of the three of us, one person had their pesto chicken (a juicy, flavorful cut enhanced -- but not overpowered by -- freshly-made basil pesto), another had their one-pound baked lobster tail (elegant simplicity itself, with plenty of clarified butter for dipping), and I was presented with a freshly-grilled, 14 ounce ribeye...

...that I thought I had not ordered.

Turns out I had meant to order their 22 ounce prime rib, but instead what came out of my mouth was, "I'd like a 22 ounce ribeye, please."

After one of our party confirmed my mistake, I prepared to enjoy the steak before me, but our server wouldn't hear of it. She whisked the errant ribeye away, and was back in two minutes with a gorgeous 22 ounce bone-in prime rib, served rare with au jus and an appealing horseradish sauce.

It. Was. Sublime.

All too soon the three of us were left staring at our empty plates. As if on cue, our server displayed a tray filled with their after-dinner treats.

One of us chose the New York cheesecake -- a perfect balance of lightness and richness that is often lacking from other restaurants' renditions. Another enjoyed the pecan pie -- warm and delicious, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for contrast.

I, on the other hand, decided to explore their selection of single malt Scotch. My selection (an 18 year old Glenmorangie, neat) arrived quickly, and was a delight. Their pour seemed a bit miserly to my eyes, but as I'd already been a bit of a problem regarding my entree, it seemed best to let it go.

And then it was time to head home.

All in all, it was an enjoyable experience.

It's one of the best restaurants in the U.S.....say no more

While the food was good, I can't say it lived up to the prices. I will say the place presents a wonderful atmosphere and beauty. I would recommend the place as a whole.

Stellar. My Mom took me here as a treat and we shared the massive 42 oz. Tomahawk Ribeye. Perfectly seasoned and served medium rare as ordered. The creamed spinach was to die for as well. We were shown the desert cart but opted out because we were so full! Planning on coming back sometime soon and Mom said she would bring my little bro next time. I can't wait. By the way Daniel is an awesome waiter.

Angus Barn was decorated beautifully and I wanted my friend to see it as well as have dinner. Unfortunately we were unable to order from the menu on Thanksgiving. The food is always delicious.

Steak was less than great maybe low Choice at best. Definitely paid for the atmosphere. Turkey Lounge has character, but the dining room felt more like German Beer hall than a $50 steak restaurant

Wait staff rudely reminded me of their no hat policy in the middle of helping my elderly father to his table. Food was excellent as usual, but I felt that in the middle of me physically escorting him to his table and the tone were very inappropriate.

A surprisingly good lunch! I didnt eat my steak because it was beef for one and it was medium rare. But the salmon and potatoes were very tasty!

Very nice restaurant with a great atmosphere. It is casual to dress up clothing. We had the chiefs special, tenderloin kabob with a lobster bearnaise sauce and asparagus it tasted great and was cooked perfectly. But I expected better cuts of meat for $46. Mine had several bits of grisel making the steak tough. We were there to celebrate our 32 wedding anniversary and the restaurant gave us a pound cake for desert.

The best anniversary dinner yet...38 years! The staff was incredible, the food (as always) was impeccable, perfectly cooked and delicious!

Celebrating my daughters birthday. The customer service and decorations were amazing. Most of the food was good. I think they mixed up some of the steaks (I was given med when I asked for med well, another guest was given med well when she asked for med). They were quick and willing to correct any issues. Also who knew that they would bring you a wrap if you became chilly! The overall experience was great.

I had the pleasure of going to this place for a wedding. It's an absolutely beautiful place and the staff seemed to be very helpful and accommodating the entire time. The hors d'oeuvres were delicious! The meal was great! The only thing I would have to say is, although the steak was oh so tender, it was lacking a great flavor. But altogether, the meal was great! I would recommend this place to others.

Great place for a date night. Leave the kids with the sitter.

Was extremely disappointed in the service at this restaurant. The waitress we had was very slow. She took an exorbitant amount of time to even ask if we were ready to order. She would make us move to refill our drinks. She took our plates before we were finished. She brought our food out and it was cold. I ordered the prime rib and lobster tail, and was not brought the prime rib when the food came. Overall, the food was not worth what we paid and the service was lacking to say the least. We wanted a nice dinner and did not get what we set out to have. We will not be returning and will try to deter others from having a bad experience as well. I am giving two stars instead of one because the decor and atmosphere was on par with what I expected

Best place to go for great atmosphere and great food no better steaks in the area

Definitely the best eating experience I've ever had. They really will take care of you and not rush you out the door. I was privileged to come here with my pastor, National Recording Artist Prophet Calvin Suggs, and the entire church family More

Familiar and comfortable. Great food and great bartenders. Especially at the wild turkey lounge.

Alvin...our Waiter was fantastic. Really focused on ensuring we were happy with everything.
A great experience!!!

Amazing food. Loved the cheese and crackers. You have to come here at least once in your life.

This is definitely an experience I bet you'll enjoy! I suggest taking the tour!

First time visit, won't be my last. The entire experience was incredible. Service staff was professional, friendly, and overall went above and beyond to make my fiance and my experience perfect. Shoutout to Jillian, our server, Chris, front desk host, and Candea, lounge host/server assistant (sorry if I spelled that wrong or got position wrong). As a former resturant supervisor I can say the pacing of the meal was appropriately casual. I noticed a lot of staff going out of their way to assist one another, which goes to show the level of teamwork required to keep this operation running so smoothly. Additionally, I respect the POW/MIA memorial, as a veteran myself you never see these outside of military events. When I mentioned this, considering it was veterans day when we went, I was presented with a complimentary bottle of the exact wine I had ordered a glass of earlier! AND THEN we were presented with complimentary pound cake and champagne to celebrate our recent engagement! I also have to mention the beautiful and extravagant Christmas decor.

Angus Barn, you have reset my standards for dining out. If I could award more stars I would. Thank you for an incredible experience.

Used to be great. No longer great. Not even good. Walked out. To bad they have given up and now just making money off the name.

This is a very special place for special events. Christmas is the best.

Excellent service, great tasting food. Very busy place even on the weekdays so make a reservation.

The Angus Barn is consistently excellent! I've been going there for special occasions for 40 years and always had great food AND great service!

Always a special experience. Not inexpensive by any stretch, but they go the extra mile to make it a special event every time.

Fabulous food and service! Highly recommend! You get a platter of cheese, crackers, relish, peppers etc. as an appetizer. They have a fabulous selection of steaks. My husband and I had the chateaubriand for 2 and it was delicious. Their sawdust pie is great too!

Kitchen was really off its game tonight. Meat was poorly cooked and seasoned. It was busy, but food also took about twice as long as it should to come out.

Excellent, my 1st time. We had a blast. The food and drinks were on point.

Tablets way too close. Makes atmosphere terrible, especially with very high prices.

My wife and I frequent this place quite a bit for personal as well as business purposes. We have always loved the service and the decor is wonderful around the holidays!

This is by far, my favorite steak restaurant. Every time I've been here the food has been delicious and the staff have treated me exceptionally well. I highly recommend the Angus Barn.

Best restaurant I been to everyone so friendly
Best ribeye I've had. Really nice restaurant.

Delicious food in a casual environment. They have a special allergen kitchen if you have any allergens.

Cheese & crackers tasted exactly like the handi-snacks with the red stick. Extremely loud, table next to us was loudly talking about the strip club they were going to next. We never complained about anything but a manager asked another table near us to please be quieter. My husband couldn t hear the waitress due to the volume. Salad was a salad, bread was average, baked potato was a baked potato, nothing special. Steak was extremely tender so a huge plus there. Though I m so sorry to say, not much flavor. Ribs were tender but also not flavorful. We are foodies & I would not put this in the class of Morton s, Ruth s Chris, Perry s etc. I just battled & beat cancer & it was our 29th anniversary so I was very disappointed. Pretty place, that was it for me. Didn t like the loud atmosphere. Service was excellent. It s a barn so I should have known but it came recommended.

Excellent food! Scott was a great waiter, very attentive. His excellent customer service made our 44 year anniversary celebration extra special!

You want a good steak!?! You want it in an atmosphere that is unique and fun! This is the place. Special occasion, date night, prom night, meeting friends, whatever. The Angus Barn is Raleighs unique take on a steak house. Valet parking, a bar outside (if you are waiting on your friends), a cigar bar, a wine cellar, the gun room, the wild turkey bar. You will have to visit a few times to see everything they have to offer. The food is great! Try the crab dip and leave room for dessert!

It is an exceptional place

Exquisite food and a spectacular place
