Angus Barn Reviews

Food is very "golden corral". Very disappointed last few times we went.

The waiter (Todd) was awesome, the food was amazing.

The Meat Locker in the Angus Barn may just be one of my favorite places in all of Raleigh. If you are from Raleigh you know Angus Barn is THE place to have a great steak. But the Meat Locker is more off-the-radar. Enjoy a nice steak, a glass of red wine and a cigar in climate controlled comfort. Flat screen TV and nice comfortable leather chairs give it a nice "speakeasy" feel to relax after work. I'd live there if I thought my wife wouldn't know exactly where I was.

Fabulous food all around, fun barn theme, good service, but very expensive.

We loved this place! Check out the meat locker if you like to smoke a nice cigar after dinner. Great food, service and ambiance. Don't miss it if you are in town.

My husband and I went to the Angus Barn for our 14th wedding anniversary and the overall experience was wonderful. We loved the atmosphere and our waiter was perfect, I am only giving it 4 stars because I personally expected the steak to have a little better flavor to it. It was good, just not the best flavored steak I've had....but other than that....we loved it!

I ve eaten at the Angus Barn at least 50 times in the last 30 years and generally had good experiences. Called them today to make a dinner reservation for a Saturday in December. The woman laughed at me on the phone and said dinner reservations were near impossible in December but could seat me for dinner after 9:30pm. I said no thanks. Still laughing she said maybe we ll see you after December. I said not a chance. What an unbelievably rude person. Angus Barn you just lost a 30 year customer. Good bye.

Always a great atmosphere and good food. Very enjoyable to visit during the holiday season and see all of the decorations. Don't forget to grab a gingerbread cookie on your way out!

Great place, but not cheap
$160 for two people...

Great food and great place to have a special dinner

Just awesome, might I recommend the Lobster Baked Potatoes...

Our 45th Anniversary and the dinner was Excellent! Our waiter, Zack was Awesome! Truly enjoyed everyhing and the service was Great!
Definitely a 5 star.

They hosted the 30th annual walk for Hope. An event where 100% of money raised went to mental health treatment. There was food, spectacular music, and loving people. It was an amazing event. God bless all the people who made it happen.

Absolutely one of the best steak places!!! As good or better than Ruth Chris..but far cheaper...

Must go if you in Town. Oysters. Tomahawk. Great steak

Good food and atmosphere. Good service but very expensive. The steaks are very good. Try the Tomahawk!

Lovely, attentive servers, good food. Prime Rib was the best.

Underwhelming. Service was just ok and the sides reminded me of cafeteria food. My husband loved his steak, mine was so so.

Warning!! It is a ton of food!! It was all amazing and they bring out a tray of dessert so save room. :)

Overrated.
In town for business so stoped for dinner on a week nite. Highly recommend by hotel staff, I had hoped for a great dinner. Regular crowd, not too busy judging by the empty tables and no eating time.

Unfortunately the experience was far from the expectation... Terrible service, unorganized staff, poor food delivery, and mediocre food quality.

First contact from server was 20 min after seating.
Drinks were brought in after another 20 min
Food order was taken after 1 hour and 15 min!!!
Food arrived cold after another 45 min.
Total dinner time around three hours.

Loved the barn setup and the interesting collections of guns and other vintage items.

Service - poor
Food - mediocre
Presentation - mediocre
Price - average
Atmosphere - cool old world vibe

Not recommended.

Wonderful local restaurant! The food is delicious, but surpassed by the homey decor and wonderful, courteous service. Highly recommended!

Water glass and side dish were broken, both wine glasses were dirty, service was average and food was average. Didn't meet expectations at all. Barely casual dining experience. Tried to alert staff while leaving but inattentive. Not the Angus Barn we've been accustomed to.

Favorite place for special celebrations. Often take out of town guests there and never disappointed!

Food here is SO tasty! It is a must-visit place for special occasions! The food is great, the employees are kind, and the decor is phenomenal. Make sure to make a reservation in advance!

This place is just simply amazing. Food is incredible, service is top notch. Has always been a great experience. They love kids here too

This place is amazing! If you are ever within driving distance to the Angus barn you must visit! The food is amazing but the atmosphere is what sets this place apart. I could walk around just looking at things for hours! From floor to ceilings. Great place!

The food, experience and atmosphere was superb. I loved every minute of it. I felt really special. The food portions were large even though it was pricey it is worth it because it's an upscale restaurant. They have unique pieces of items on the wall. It's a great place for special occasions. I wanna go again. . They have a nice pavilion near by and a bell where couples have their names written on. In general, the Angus Barn is a must try at least once.

Atmopshere great , fun and entertaining but my food and others in my party was COLD ! For the price you pay I expected excellence and it was far from that !!!

Oh my goodness. This place is phenomenal. The prices are quite expensive, however the food is unbelievable. The service...they are on the ball! Never needed a thing...it's like they could read my mind.

I was rushed to catch a flight at RDU. I was worried i would not have enough time to dine at this fine place and srill catch my plane.

Well, I arrived in the parking lot at 750p.m. on Wednesday. i made a dash to the bar upstairs and was lucky to find a chair at the bar. After a few minutes got my drink and food order in. I could not believe my double combo appetiser platter arrived at 8:03. I already hadmy glass of wine and suddenly could not believe how much time Istill had. I went from worrying i could miss a flight to all the time in the world.

When I finished it was barely 8:30 and I was hoping to get away no later that 8"50. Way to go Barn!!

Love this place! Always good food, good wine and friendly staff.

Great service and outstanding steaks! Leave a little room for desert!

Angus Barn is better than RC/NOLA (you know the one I mean). They have wonderful craft adult beverages. The cheese and cracker appetizer (gratis) is not your mother's cheese and crackers. The steaks are the best I have had (rivalling Morton's, Sullivan's, and Ruth's Chris). Any side dish you choose is the best it could be. We were treated to an interval in the Locker Room: a treat indeed! But the real reason to go here is the service. Thanks for an amazing evening, Kate! Our party was a handful and you handled everything like a pro.

This is a fascinating place. The service was excellent and extremely attentive. The decor is quaint and a little dated in some parts, but some of it is absolutely lovely. The food was all solid, but nothing was exceptional. The wine list is vast and there are some VERY nice wines to choose from. Overall the price felt way too high for me.

My favorite restaurant in Raleigh area. Great food and next level service.

Great atmosphere, very good food. They've added a bar at the front of the restaurant in an area they've closed in. A place to hit when in or near Raleigh.

We enjoy visiting the gift shop and taking Angus Barn with us on vacation :)

Visited the Pavilion just to pick up a friend. Gorgeous setting!

What is there to be said that hasn t already been said about the Angus Barn? Been here several times for multiple different occasions and every experience is better than the last! For special occasions or if your craving an incredible dining experience, the Angus Barn is always a solid choice.

We went here for our Anniversary. Although the waitstaff was friendly, we were NOT impressed by the food and the very long wait. We saw several other tables get their food when we were seated after them, and the waitstaff ensured that tables ordering wine were a priority. (My husband and I did not drink alcohol and had sodas instead). I would ask for a refill, and saw the waitress go back and forth to fill wine and hold a conversation with other tables and state that she was "sorry" it took so long to come to our table. Additionally, after spending almost $300, and waiting a little over an hour for our main course, we expected to have a delicious meal. The shrimp coctail appetitizer was good, but the coctail sauce was horrible. The crab legs were decent, but the texture was off. The lobster, what my husband and I really looked forward to was VERY rubbery. Even with the steak knife it took a lot of back and forth cutting to get a small piece. I was exhausted by the end of the meal. We got the check immediately afterward. I REALLY wanted to love this place, and it was a very special occasion. We never write reviews, but in this case we feel that it was warranted. Sometimes you don't get what you pay for. Unfortunately, we will not be back.

Great food, great service, you can't go wrong here. Also, the tour is a must if you've never had it.

Our first visit to the Wild Turkey Lounge was fantastic. Had a great meal with family. Will definitely go again, Lord willing.

I am from Wisconsin so of course I know cheese. Angus Barns cheese was awesome, the steak and salad was even better.

The Angus Barn is not just a restaurant, it's a dining experience. Make a reservation and go early just to hang out. The decor is awesome. A great bar with live music. The staff is absolutely the best. I had the 10 oz filet mignon and it was fantastic and cooked perfectly. You will love this place.

Outstanding food, meticulous service. Prices are high -- this is an expense-account restaurant.

Never disappoints. And by all means, get the caramelized onion butter for your steak. You're welcome.

My absolute favorite place to eat and especially at Christmas time. Just beautiful!!

Server was excellent Sonia great job , food was excellent

Okay. So usually I dont give reviews. However for this restaurant I felt COMPELLED. For starters I want to clarify that price is never the issue.. However, if you guys are serving food so high priced and acclaimed I truly would expect the environment to match it. It was very dusty and caused my 2yr old daughter to have a sneeze fit. The tables are made with stapled cushioned clothe and the seams dont even meet. I mean simple but very obvios and tacky attention to detail. Lastyly and most importantly the steak I ordered ( Ribeye ) was so bland. I was so disappointed. The Ribeye was alright however there was literally not a single drop of flavor. This place is too high rated for it to have as many hiccups in my opinion.

Always a fine dining experience. Food is great but the people are greater.

Great 1970sesque decorations and format, bring lots of money.

Great food, great drinks, and great service. I loved it here. I had the baby back ribs. They were tender, soft, and just the right amount of sweet. Sit upstairs at the lounge and enjoy some cheese and crackers.

Awesome experience, excellent food! Top notch service and check out upstairs

Wonderful . Had a great Birthday party with my husband,4children and there spouse's, 4 of 6 grandchildren, and 1of 2 great grandchildren. They let great granddaughter decorate the Birthday Cake. Service and food was superb.

Wonderful meal. Daughters birthday and we had a fabulous time. Recommend the prime rib.

Helped plan our wedding with us and then 30 days out we had to cancel. Very accommodating amazing people working there! Great food!

Food is delicious and the service was personal and efficient.

Warm comfortable dining experience in the Wild Turkey Lounge. Filet was cooked perfectly and the garlic mashed are amazing!

This place is seriously massive. It can be an adventure to get a seat, but it's worth it. Exceptional meat, great food overall, and a thorough bar. Visit this local legend of you're traveling through town, for business or with friends.

The wife and mother in law brought me here for my birthday and this was their first time going to "The barn", they were blown away by the decorations, the service and THE FOOD!!! I've been here a few times and I am amazed everytime I step foot into the wonderful establishment. King of steaks in Raleigh since I moved here in circa 95'!!

If you visit North Carolina, you need to visit this classic. When we are guests of Lenovo, they always host us here for special occasions. This has become a staple in the Lenovo experience. Perfect ambiance, juicy steak, assortment of beverages from wine to craft cocktails; and most important of all, always consistent. Anniversaries, birthdays, events, or even just a night out. While the food is amazing, the wine cellar is even more impressive. The Angus Barn has maintained receiving the Wine Spectator Restaurant Award since 1989. Many of the restaurant's now and former employees have passed the sommelier course, which is no easy feat. The wine cellar itself is almost as impressive as the collection averaging $2 million dollars in stock. The Angus Barn represents all the major wine producing countries and states within their collection. The cellar is cozy, beautiful, and almost otherworldly.
Sure, the Angus Barn might grow, change add and adapt, but one thing is true - it always has the same feel time after time. It's a steakhouse, it's a place for a special event, it's a dressed up Saturday night just because. It really is timeless and you must visit! Thank you to Lenovo and Angus Barn staff for the many great experiences.

Great service great food best steak ever had a great time taking family photos in the garden are waitress Rebecca was extremely good she came and let us go back in the kitchen and pick out ice cream bathrooms very nice but not enough space and the the manager came in and said something not nice and rude quiet down and we had 27 people so 4 star rating

Great dining experience. Nice atmosphere. Love the Wild Turkey lounge. Good food, though I feel a bit overpriced. Try to get a tour of the wine cellar.... very cool. Will definitely be back again.

A must visit place! Very good food and nice theme events.

They delivered a lovely birthday experience and college send off celebration for my grandson. Love those steaks!!!!

I had a great Rib Eye at the Wild Turkey Bar! I will be there again, the next time I am in town

Been going to the Angus Barn most of my adult life at least a few times a year and have always had a great time and great good. I had the opportunity of being there last night on the 54th anniversary of the Barn and as usual it was a full house and a good time was had by all. Last night we had Marianna C as our waitress and she gave us the absolute best service possible she went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with everything, I truly hope she is there on our next visit.

I couldnt imagine Raleigh without the Angus Barn, it is truly is a destination everyone should visit.

Thank You Van for all that you do, we appreciate you providing such a place for us in the Raleigh.

WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? FROM THE RESERVATIONS TO BEING GIVEN AN APPLE AS YOU LEAVE THE BARN THE EXPERIENCE IS FANTASTIC. SERVICE A+, FOOD A+, ATMOSPHERE A+, PRICES IN LINE WITH ALL FINE DINING STEAK HOUSES. YES, I THINK I LIKE THE PLACE.

Great dining place for celebrations. Service and food is always exceptional!!

Best of the best for an unbelievable food experience. Best steak I ever had.
Workers are very nice and friendly

Our favorite place for special occasions. Great food, service & atmosphere.

Went with a large group of friends to celebrate a birthday and New Years! Of course it was packed and a 4 hour meal, but everything was tasty and the service was excellent considering the crowds and time of year! The wIt to be seated was pleasant due to a bar that was set up and live music! Happy New Year!

Upscale dining, upscale delicious, country friendly. I am impressed. Everything was perfect. And yes make a reservation. You don't have to, but you'll be glad you did.

Pretty amazing food and atmosphere. Very "farmhousey" and rustic, essence of Old Raleigh. The food is great and you cannot go wrong with steak or seafood. Expensive but worth the price for the experience and food quality. After eating you can grab a fresh cigar and the wine cellar is awesome.
