The Angus Barn

Had an amazing experience. It was my wife's birthday and Jade was an amazing server. You can always tell how good a server is when things don't go right. They had a small snafu on a steak and they were so eager to fix the error. The manager Shaun came and talked to us and did everything he could to make sure our dinner experience was top notch. We are always impressed and glad we come here for special occasions

Angus Barn is one of the best steakhouses I have visited! The food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding.
In terms of the food, I would highly recommend the prime rib and the espresso rubbed filet medallions. The prime rib was succulent and very moist. There also wasn't too much fat in it. The espresso rubbed filet had a unique flavor and also very tender. All of the entrees also come with a side salad/soup and a choice of potato. The Cesar salad is a good option for the salad, and the French onion soup is tasty as well. The portions were huge at this place and most people tend to leave with leftovers. The King size beef ribs were insanely large as well. I would also recommend trying the stuffed potatoes and sweet mashed potatoes as well. Both of them are prepared well and are delicious accompaniments to the entrees.

For dessert, the Chocolate Chess Pie is a must! It was one of the best pies, even one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. It has a rich chocolate flavor, and tasted even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I would come back just for this!

The service and staff were fantastic. Our waitress was full of energy and enthusiasm, and she gave us some great recommendations since it was my first time visiting. Everyone had a positive attitude, and it was overall a pleasant dinner experience.

The Angus Barn has very nice grounds outside if you want to walk around take pictures and look at some cool things- there is even an old time kicking machine!

Our waiter Mark was friendly and helpful.
I ordered the prime rib really rare- it came out rare (probably the rarest cut they had. The dipping sauce (mayonnaise and horseradish) and the au jus were tasty, the mashed potatoes were creamy.
We were there for two birthdays and Mark brought out a pound cake - which we took home because our group ordered dessert. (I didn't have any but they looked good)

We asked for to go boxes (Mark) packages them up) except for when I wanted to take the leftover pickles and olives he handed me a box? (I didn't feel great about that- was I not supposed to take them? I believe they would just throw them out)

This place came recommended by locals! But I hesitated because of the 4.1 rating. But 5 of us all from out of town decided to give it a go. The ambiance is great. Kinda like an old log cabin rustic feel. Pictures all over the wall w "celebrities". Service was great!
Ok the food absolutely disappointed all 5 of us and at the high price point made it even worse! Filet, Ribeye, NY, Kabob (filet medallions), and Steak Sandwich were ordered. All steaks ordered at Med-Rare! ALL steaks were over cooked and tasteless! SALT!!!!!! The Kabob lacked seasoning! Salt guys, throw some salt on the steaks!! The veggies on the kabob also had no seasoning!
The Steak sandwich was packed w steak thinly sliced, but was DRY!!!!
A bright point to the food was the stuff potato. Good flavor with chives, cheese, and sour cream.
The cheesecake was a good bite. The apple cobbler, eh not so much. Absolutely nothing special about it!
At this price point Angus Barn was a complete disappointment!
Long Horn Steakhouse was much better tasting and had seasoning and properly cooked and at HALF the cost!!!

I have been eagerly awaiting to go here sometime while they still had Christmas decorations up, but reservations felt impossible since they book a year in advance (this has now changed recently to 120 days in advance). Luckily, I was able to snag a cancellation about 2 weeks beforehand and thought this place would be perfect to celebrate my anniversary with my husband.

The Christmas decorations are absolutely incredible. You can see them from the highway and the place is completely decked out both in and outside. Entering the place felt very overwhelming with how many people were there & all of the rooms, but I checked in at one of the hostess stands. They said they would text me when our table was ready. We were seated about 6 minutes past our reservation time.

They had crackers and cheese waiting for us at the table when we were sat. The crackers tasted like Ritz Crackers and unsalted pita chips. I didn't care for the cheese. It had the consistency of butter, but taste of cheddar. Our server took our order after about 15 minutes. I ordered the chateaubriand with a wedge salad, French fries, and asparagus. The wedge salad wasn't anything special. It tasted kind of like a bag of salad you could get at the store, but add blue cheese. I substituted balsamic vinaigrette for the dressing. The chateaubriand was decent, but surprisingly the fries were the best part of the dish. The potatoes tasted really fresh. I was slightly disappointed with the asparagus because I asked for it plain without the sauce on it and that request was not honored. My husband got the Argentinian Ribeye. The meat was very tender, but the gravy was a tad too salty.

The nicest part of the meal was the whole pound cake to celebrate our anniversary. It was unexpected and a nice gesture.

Service was okay. Our server was nice, but I kind of had higher expectations. I was disappointed with the wait time to take our food order, the delay of bread coming to our table (it came after my husband already finished his soup), that the food was not cooked to my asking, and our server touched part of the cake with her fingers (this is what silverware is for!!!).

Overall, this place was good, but definitely not a place I'd go to all the time. I highly recommend going when their Christmas decorations are up. If you can't get a reservation, keep looking everyday for cancellations! This place is super crowded, so I personally wouldn't want to show up and wait without one.

Angus barn is always a hit and a staple place to visit in the triangle. Very much on the high end but worth the price for the experience, service and food. The holiday decorations are unbelievable and the different rooms of the restaurant are always beautiful at all times of the year. All of the wait staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and they even have a wine expert on hand if you have more advanced questions. The steaks are always cooked to your choice and they are always perfect. You will likely need reservations but it is worth it.

Can I please give six (6) stars?!?
Reservations are a must! Go in December or January to experience the over the top opulence of their Christmas decor!

Cocktails were super Amazing! While wine list is a compelling 100 pages, my inside info to you is their house Cab is on time and a great price point. I recommend the filet and lobster combo. All entrees come with delicious soup or salad and a potato of your choice,

Service made you feel special! We loved Florence, our server- Top Notch!!

2 ate for $137.07 before tax and tip and no appetizer or alcohol. Steak was absolutely perfect temperature, perfect char. All the extra trimmings, cheeses and crackers, unlimited butter, bread ect. Service is fantastic, a lot of grown folk waiting so service is really good. Beautiful interior, loud enough to have private conversations. We love this place for special occasions.

Our server took awhile to acknowledge us then it was good service for a bit had good crackers and cheese good first course salad and soup then she misheard our order and we did not get the steak we ordered and we didn't want to wait another hour for the correct one so we made due...except the onion rings came out old and cold the steak was over cooked and nothing had flavor not even salt.... It was our anniversary and had heard good things but just was not our experience...very expensive and very disappointing!!

There's a reason a table at this place is so coveted. Been coming here since the 80s, most recently this past Sunday afternoon to eat and drink in the Wild Turkey Lounge with my family.

Ordered a dozen oysters, shrimp cocktail, wedge salad, the double patty cheeseburger and chocolate chess pie. And a slew of cocktails.

Oysters? Some of the best I've ever had. Shucked and chilled to perfection. Shrimp? Jumbo size and meaty. Quality all the way. And the double cheeseburger? Enormously delicious. The quality of beef was bar none.

As a 30-year west coaster now, dining here brings me back to what makes this place in the Carolinas so appealing. Nostalgic, deeply rooted in tradition and above all, a highly trained and seasoned staff. You cannot go wrong here.

Book early, enjoy and take lots of pics. It's always a truly memorable experience.
