Angus Barn

The atmosphere at Angus Barn is undeniably spectacular, especially during the holidays. The Christmas decorations and lights made the setting feel magical, and we were able to get in at the turkey lounge, even given the typical long wait times. However, the food did not live up to the hype or the price point. I ordered the shrimp, and it was completely overwhelmed with garlic. There was no mention on the menu of the shrimp being marinated in garlic, and it was so heavily coated that it masked any other flavors. Additionally, the mushrooms were served cold, and the mashed potatoes had no flavor, very disappointing for a high-end dining experience. It felt like they prioritized quantity over quality when it came to the food. The portions were large, but the taste and attention to detail weren’t there. For the premium prices they charge, I expected much more. On a positive note, the service was decent. The staff were attentive and friendly, but overall, the experience didn’t justify the cost. I would recommend visiting for the ambiance, especially during the holidays, but temper your expectations when it comes to the food.

Perfect place to celebrate a special occasion! We ate in the Turkey Lounge, suggest getting there early to get your name on the list. Highly recommend going when it is decorated for Christmas, it is gorgeous! Plenty of space to wait out front in the enclosed patio area with bar service and free cheese and crackers! Food was delicious, and staff is all very courteous and professional. Worth the cost!

A staple of Raleigh and a must-visit during the festive season—it’s simply magical! We are huge fans of the Turkey Lounge. It offers a slightly different menu but the same exceptional service. Our tradition is to split a steak, with each of us getting our own stuffed potato. Pro tip: Ask for extra fixings—you can never have too much butter! 🧈 On this visit, we started with the ribs appetizer, and my husband fell in love. We even purchased a jar of their sauce to bring the incredible flavors home. The best hidden gem? The house wine. Trust us—you won’t regret it! 🍷 After dinner, indulge in a fine whiskey. Their extensive selection of spirits is impressive, and it’s the perfect way to cap off the night. Don’t forget to take some time to enjoy the decor—there’s so much to see! 🎄✨

Angus Barn is truly an exceptional dining experience in Raleigh! From the moment you walk in, the warm and rustic atmosphere sets the tone for a memorable evening. The steaks are the star of the show—cooked to absolute perfection and bursting with flavor. Every bite is a testament to the quality of the ingredients and the skill in the kitchen. The sides and appetizers, like the cheese and crackers starter, are equally impressive, and the desserts, especially the chocolate chess pie, are a perfect way to end the meal. The wine cellar is really good, offering an incredible selection to pair with your meal. For those celebrating a special occasion, Angus Barn goes above and beyond to make it unforgettable. The only downside was the service, which was a bit slower than expected. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, there were noticeable delays that could have been improved. That said, the incredible food and atmosphere more than made up for it. If you’re looking for top-notch food and a unique dining experience, Angus Barn is still a must-visit in Raleigh!

We come here every few years- only because of the price. This time we got 2 steaks and had to send one back because it was flavorless, and we were disappointed. Our server- Melanie, and a manager made sure to see if there was anything they could do, but honestly, we had appetizers and crackers and cheese, so we didn't ask for a replacement. Good experience overall. I did do the Wine sampler, that was definitely worth the price. I had the option to pick from MANY wines to sample. I was disappointed with how my choices tasted to me, but it was a fun experience!

Very busy gorgeous place, the food was good but extremely expensive. Staff was prickly at arrival even with reservations They have a gorgeous restaurant with extensive alcohol menu, limited food menu for the size of the facility. My food came cold, even colder by the time I got ketchup for fries. Worst “steak sauce” I’ve ever had… obviously that’s an acquired taste…. Some watery wine sauce. The steak was delicious and certainly didn’t need sauce (that’s a plus) All and all a good experience

The most beautiful and magical place to eat during the holidays. So worth the wait. The staff was so so friendly. Our waitress never left us waiting or wanting anything. Even though there was a wait, we enjoyed sitting in the front lobby/bar area while enjoying a few cocktails. The decorations were top notch! Always new ones! I deducted a star for 2 reasons. 1- people were told that there was a 3 hour wait for walk ins. I totally understand that however, I saw several tables, couches, and seats at the bar(which were all reserved for walk-ins and you had to be seated by a hostess) left empty for 30-40 minutes. Someone could have been seated instead of leaving them unoccupied for that long. 2. We were really disappointed with the seafood tower. Definitely NOT worth $70! Picture included.The lobster tails were really tough, the lump crabmeat was full of shells and no horseradish for the oysters. We also didn’t get any crackers, cheese and olives like everyone else. On the upside… we got the 2.5 lb Tomahawk with salads and fries. That made up for the seafood tower falling short. It was delicious and cooked to perfection. The fries! The fries were unlike any I’ve ever had. You don’t think of ordering fries at an upper scale restaurant but please! If you like fries, you won’t be disappointed!

This was my second time dining here and I can say without a doubt the Angus Barn is the best steakhouse I have ever been to. The servers are attentive, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is spot on. Pictured here is a 22oz bone-in prime rib cooked rare+, stuffed potatoes, and their Mac and Cheese. The dessert was a recommendation by our server - the chocolate explosion. This was a chocolate sundae with a slice of their famous chocolate chess pie wedged in. Certainly a destination restaurant for the area.

Great Steak, Excellent Sides The steak was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful char on the outside and juicy inside. I also loved the sides especially the mashed potatoes. I knocked off one star because the service was a little slow, but the food definitely makes up for it.

Great place to visit with the family, especially around the holidays. Christmas decorations are beyond worth the visit. Service was very attentive, no wait even when we arrived early to our reservation. Food was good, wine list decent, good selection and care to preparation. It is not the most amazing culinary experience as plates are conservatively prepared- not daring... but Ok! I'd return with others.

We went to the Angus Barn with our friends who are celebrating their 47th wedding anniversary. They have gone to the Angus Barn every year since their 1st anniversary! I have always heard about Angus Barn's burger, famously made with one whole pound of meat! It was seriously the best burger I have ever had! My husband ordered the steak sandwich with grilled onions. Both of us could only eat half of our meal! I forgot to take a photo of the complimentary relish dish of olives, pickles, celery and peppers and the tray of pub cheese and crackers. Everything was outstanding, including the service!

The Angus Barn is a great place to celebrate any special occasion. Their meat selection is excellent and our waiter recommended an incredible wine pairing as well. One of the best things about the Angus Barn is the decor, especially during the holiday season. It's turning into an annual tradition for us to go during that time, and it feels like being in a Hallmark Christmas movie. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the triangle area!

Our most favorite Christmas tradition! We've been making Christmas reservations for a few years now-and it's the best. The decorations are incredible to say the least and the service is amazing. We ordered our usual steaks and sides and beverages. We also ordered a crème brûlée instead of the chess pie and it's the best I've ever had! We took our kiddo and the kids meal was also fantastic (but we wouldn't expect anything less!) To address the previous review about kids dining at Angus Barn. Here's the deal (coming from a parent): if your kid is melting down or struggles to dine out, it's 100% NOT the appropriate environment. Y'all need a ChickfilA. Angus Barn isn't cheap and it would be super irritating to have the ambiance ruined by a screaming kid. Luckily our kid loves dining out and decor, otherwise we would've gotten a babysitter.

Stuffed! First time mistakes were made. The cheese and crackers with wine/beer are extremely good. It does fill you up though. Once you order and get your soup/salad and main entree, you can forget about dessert. That's a treat all by itself. Pace yourself and enjoy your meal. This was a pleasant experience and look forward to returning again, next time with a better plan in place to enjoy the entree.

One of my besties lives here in Raleigh, so when my significant other wanted to come to North Carolina for his birthday, this girl was on board! I packed my bags and called her to ask what were all the places we needed to visit while here! The Angus Barn was one! First, it's hard to get a reservation so how we pulled it off with only two weeks notice, who knows, but we got lucky! Driving into The Angus Barn was like driving into an enchanted castle. During the winter months they turn this barn into the North Pole (of course what I assume the North Pole would look like). Christmas decor is unmatched, this ambiance took my breath away. We drove up and intended to get valet service only to find a front parking. As we parked, the valet guy informed us we took a valet spot, we apologized and he said we could just stay. Super NICE! So sorry for the mishap! The entire restaurant is decorated so it was easy to check in and walk around in amazement at all the beautiful decor. Within a few minutes we were seated. Jeff was our server and he was amazing. Jeff was as sweet as a Georgia peach. He really knows how to make people feel at home. Now let's get into it! Appetizers: Complementary Cheese/Crackers - Yum! Shrimp Cocktail- Delicious Oyster's Rockefeller - Okay Ribs - Delicious Crab cake - Just Okay (I'm from the DMV hard to replicate our crab cakes) Main: Ribeye - Delicious Baked Potato - Delicious Side Salad - Delicious Desserts: Complimentary Pound Cake - Delicious This Girl HIGHLY RECOMMENDS! Thanks to my bestie for the recommendation. A must do while in Durham/Raleigh, North Carolina.

The Angus Barn is a fun experience and an institution in Raleigh,especially during the holidays. We came on a whim on a Saturday night and decided to wait the 2 hours for a bar seat. We had some drinks, cheese & crackers, and enjoyed the evening. My husband had the steak sandwich and I had the ravioli with marinara. Everything was pretty good. The desserts were phenomenal. I loved the melt-in-your mouth chocolate chess pie. The vibe is fun and everyone is very friendly.

What a place!! It looked like we were driving into "Wonderland" with the extravagant Christmas lights already up. I've never been to a restaurant with so many Christmas decorations. It was a sight for sore eyes. It reminded me of a Christmas festival but it was just a regular Friday dinner date night in Raleigh! Once we were seated, our server was amazing with the perfect sense of humor that went along quite well with our silliness! I wish I had a bigger appetite because the menu was quite appealing. We had the shrimp cocktail, ribs, and ribeye.. Excellent! We also had the oysters Rockefeller and Crab Cakes. Those two are the culprits for why The Angus Barn got 4 stars and not 5. They need to go back to the drawing board with those two. Coming from the Crab Cake Capitol of the world, they need to make a trip up north to Maryland and pay a visit to Jerry's or even Blue Dolphin and take notes. The Oysters Rockefeller were drippy and just not good. This place is great and I can't wait to come back. There is soooo much to the menu, I can easily sub the crab cake and Oysters Rockefeller for something else and be just fine!!!

The Angus Barn is the gold standard of steakhouses in the Triangle. I compare every other steakhouse to here. First of all, the entire complex is straight up unique and amazing. They have huge ponds with an event area overlooking it, a pavilion, their own water tower, tons and tons of parking including valet, and of course the main venue and barn itself. Inside there are multiple areas you can dine in. The main room, the meat locker, upstairs, the Wild Turkey Saloon, and probably more that I haven't realized. When you get there and park there is a huge outside bar area and they serve complimentary snacks such as pickled peppers and olives and celery. At Christmas time they offer free gingerbread cookies. You can comfortably wait on your table in this area with your favorite drink. I highly recommend reservations, it's almost impossible to get in as a walk in. Some reservations require a deposit and you have to book them a year in advance such as eating in the kitchen! Yes, there is a dining table in the kitchen. One of my favorite areas is the "Meat Locker". It was the former meat locker that's been turned into a cigar smoking area. You can dine here and smoke. They do not take reservations for this area and they open it to walk ins at 5pm. Get there early and get in line. There are only 2 3-top tables that you can get 4-5 around if they put them together and then maybe 5 2-top tables, two of them high and 3 low. There is an outside area with a bunch more seats but I find it way too cold to eat there in the winter. And if it rains you will be subject to the elements. The meat locker itself is open but there's a heater so it's a lot warmer in there, I've been in it down to about 45 and that's about as low as I'd go out there. To get to the meat locker you have to go through the kitchen which is pretty cool. They have a humidor near the meat locker and another in the main entrance area. They also have a wine cellar with thousands of bottles of wine and some of Raleigh's millionaire and billionaires have their own shelves with their own personal collections but they won't tell you who or where but you can figure it out pretty easily. The wine cellar also has two giant private banquet halls. They do private events down there as well themed events for the public such as Titanic and Downton Abbey themed dinners...for 2025 they are priced at $195/person and usually sell out almost immediately after being announced. Upstairs they have the bourbon library near the Wild Turkey Lounge. You can see antique bourbons that are lost to history except here. Some priced at $450+ per shot...yes you read that price correctly. We are talking bottles that are nearly 100 years old and not made anymore. They also do their own private barrel picks that are more modestly priced. I almost always get a smoked old fashioned with is about $28 and it's an experience to get it. The gun library is amazing. It's a collection that you won't find even amongst avid gun collectors. Dozens of ancient, classic and heirloom pistols and rifles. There is a guide book in the library. Another great place to wait on your table. The only thing I can say about the service is that it's top notch. It's as good or better than high end places like Ruth Chris's. Servers are well trained and they love their jobs. When it's time for dessert they bring around a tray that has one of every dessert so you can see what you're getting. So many others have written about the food and it is fantastic. They give you fresh baked breads and snacks while you wait. The salads feature homemade dressings, local veggies when possible, and lots of flavor. The steaks are insanely good. They cook them perfectly, even if you get one rare they will sear the top and lock in a ton of flavor and give it great taste. My favorite steak is the tomahawk, it's around $100 and enough for at least 3 people. Even the salads are huge so if everyone got a salad you could easily split that steak with 4 people and walk away stuffed. They go over the top during Christmas with their decorations inside and outside, it's an experience that I highly recommend.

Good food, kind of a pricey steakhouse. Lots of groups come here, so it can be a bit raucous but in a good way. I like their steaks and overall the food and service are on-point, but I came here to say: if you like hamburgers and grilling out, pick up some of their frozen tenderloin patties in their "company store". The prices are reasonable for the size and quantity, they don't shrink much when cooked and they're just excellent. Throw them on a toasted Trader Joe's Brioche burger bun with your choice of toppings and culinary happiness can be achieved!

I enjoyed a nice evening dinner with a few friends. I had the filet mignon meatballs. While they are an appetizer, if you are a lighter eater, the meatballs and a salad are enough. The server was kind and patient, even at 9 pm. She checked on us just the right amount and was friendly. It was decorated beautifully for winter, and is just gorgeous. It's a great place to take pictures. They also gave out free gingerbread cookies.

I chose this place to celebrate my friends birthday. I wanted to see what's so extravagant about this place. First time here, and my experience here was superb. Although we had reservations in advance, it was quite still very busy. We waited for a bout 10 minutes and got called to be seated. Everything we ordered was delicious. I had ordered the blackend tuna with a side of french onion soup and green beans. We ordered so much food, and not all were shown here. We had asked for to go containers since we couldn't finish it. The server we had was very kind she had boxed our food for us. The restaurant itself is astonishing from excellent service from servers, detectable dishes, and enchanting decor.

Come for the ambience during Nov-Dec, when all of the bedazzling, over-the-top Christmas decorations are up! Every inch of their ceilings are covered in lights and ornaments. For a once-a-year holiday meal or the out-of-town visitor, this is a great experience. The service was fantastic - our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and made sure our soda, lemonade, and sweet tea were always refilled before they were even empty. I've also been to their wine cellar rooms for private event group dinners, and wow, again, the experience of walking through the kitchen, through the wine cellar, to a beautifully set long table and also festively decorated room -- also amazing. The room has its own private bar as well, and the service was impeccable. Now, onto the food, which is the reason I would dock 1 to 1.5 stars: the food was ok, maybe a little disappointing for the overall cost. I ordered the surf and turf for my main course. The steak was not seasoned very well and a little over cooked, and the lobster was rubbery. The creamed spinach side was very salty. The soup of the day (cheddar and broccoli) and caesar salad were both fine. We finished with a delicious dessert combo that was probably the highlight of the meal: ice cream sundae with their award winning chess pie - definitely recommend.

This place is truly amazing and a steak eaters paradise. There is a bar in front porch, a humidor just inside, a room with many old guns and a book of descriptions for each one, and another bar upstairs. Had oysters and ribs for an appetizer. Both were really good. Started with French onion soup. It was very very cheesy. Upset my stomach some with how much cheese it had but it was so tasty! And the bread crouton on it was good too. The steaks everyone had were huge and cooked perfectly and everyone loved them. Sides of mashed potatoes and mushrooms which were delicious. The desserts shared was some chocolaty chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream and some other dessert. Honestly the dessert tray they bring out made all the desserts look good. Our server was awesome and friendly and attended to our needs very well. It is a bit pricy here but for the meal and experience it is worth it. Highly recommend.

I took my SO here for his birthday dinner. It was our first time and he had a hankering for beef ribs. It was decorated for the holidays. It was rustic and borderline over the top and a bit gaudy with the amount of decorations. As someone neurodivergent it was a bit overwhelming to me. For the price of the food I expected for the plating to be better. This amounted to an overpriced Cracker Barrel to me....I would venture to say the food would taste better. My meal was cold, the potatoes had a weird texture and some of the shrimp were gray. Instead of marinated shrimp they should just call this shrimp scampi. I don't eat red meat but my partner's ribs were a bit fatty but his food was smoking hot. I tried his mac and there was nothing smoked about it. His Caesar salad had no croutons and my spinach salad had very little toppings but the hot dressing was good. All in all I wouldn't recommend this place. You can get a steak anywhere for less. Their non steak options were basic. Their drink menus are longer than the food offerings. The server was nice enough but others had a better more engaging server. The manager was nice and apologized for the cold undercooked food and brought out the pound cake for my SO's birthday which was meh. The TLDR version of my review: the food here will make a turd....nothing to write home about. Go elsewhere for a better less expensive meal.

It's a nice ambiance during the holidays and fun to see the overly decorated indoors for Christmas, but the food quality was mediocre. I enjoyed the pickled veggies that came at the beginning. The wedge salad was creamy, but there was way too much dressing to call it a salad. I ordered the salmon with a side of baked potatoes (the server brings sour cream, bacon, and butter). The salmon did not taste fresh. I wouldn't be surprised if it was previously frozen by the way it tasted. Our server really made the experience wonderful for me and my partner.

The ambience was AMAZING! It definitely gives all of the holiday cheer vibes! From the moment I pulled up to entering the "barn" the decor was breathtaking. We waited about 35 minutes for a seat which was no real bother. However, when the hostess came to get us she told us we were going to the "meat locker." Now, considering where we were we ALL laughed as we thought this was a joke! Boy, was the joke on us! We walked through the kitchen and there was this "hidden gem" (as they call it) on the back side of the kitchen. A small "pub style room" with TV's and round bar style tables. We were greeted by our server, Sharon who we immediately expressed our disgust to. She informed the manager who came to us to let us know we would be worked back in the waiting list but could sit there while we waited. With disgust we said "ok." About 30ish mins passed and we had not been waited or nor did we receive anyone to the table to ask us for drinks or appetizers. Here is where the problem officially began. Customer service in a restaurant of that stature should be top tier, right? Wrong! I ordered a drink. It was forgotten. I ordered an appetizer, it was forgotten. At this point I am ready to pack up and go. We receive our food and it's mediocre. Nothing to rant about. Very bland in taste. I asked the waitress to please bag it up. She does and she puts my food in the floor. I was LIVID while trying to remain calm and professional in this meat locker. By far the worst experience! I will NEVER return to this place!

The service is always on point. I'm always pleased with Spinach salad and loaded potato crock. I highly recommend the crab cakes... (yes, at a steak house). I have not had a better crab cake anywhere else. I also enjoy their prime rib and filet mignon. This place is a family tradition!!

Wow! This place caught my eye from the highway because of how beautifully it is decorated even from the outside. I later found out that this is a well-known spot, especially during the holiday season. Photos could not capture how gorgeous the interior decoration is and I was told that Reservations book out extremely early during Christmas time. However, you can walk in for food and drink in the wild turkey lounge if you can't get a reservation for the main restaurant area which is what we did. We sat at the bar in the wild turkey lounge, and the bartender was extremely attentive and informative. We also really liked our food and drinks.

Snagged last minute reservation after Christmas and got to experience the beautiful decor! Food was so good and our server was amazing! Everything lived up to the hype!

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)

Always a classic for the holidays. Good food, great size portions, amazing ambiance, and great service. Will definitely go back. Love this place.

Came in tonight 12/11/2024 and had the worst seat in the house. It ended up being the best experience though. The bartender was witty and fun and my food was amazing. I got the 14oz ribeye and was not disappointed. The couple next to me got the tomahawk and it looked phenomenal. I was only in town 1 night and made it a point to wait the nearly 2 hour wait list time just to get in. Worth it for sure.

Ambiance is great. Food is hit or miss. Have been with Clients and we received cold steaks on two different occlusions. Folks coming out of town want to go there, so went again and this time my steak was great. Service is courteous and friendly

Start by saying how stunning this place is inside and out . Second all the staff was friendly as can be however being holidays must make reservations because otherwise you won't have a chance to eat or drink it's sooo busy. Didn't get opportunity to try any meals only the free gingerbread cookies they were handing out to rate food however the cookies were divine. Hope to get opening for reservations within month to go back. .. for full experience

My daughter and son in law treated us to dinner here to celebrate our birthdays anniversary and being newly retired. This is an amazing place that if you don't have reservations you won't get in. It is absolutely huge and very nicely decorated inside. The menu is like a book and the wine list it very large as well. Our waiter was great and had a cheese and cracker tray already at the table. He then brought a relish tray to enjoy. The soup of the day was creamy broccoli and cheddar with was delicious. I chose for my entree the espresso crusted filet medallions with blue cheese mashed potatoes and vegetables in a red wine chili reduction. The filets were extremely tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were to die for. At the end of the meal we were surprised with a complimentary pound cake with candles. Overall an amazing dinner. If you like steak you must try this place.

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.

Was able to get a reservation on a Saturday at 4 pm. The number of people streaming thru the doors looked more like a rush to the bar on New Years Eve. It's been q0 years since my last visit, and the place looked the same. Service was efficient, and the food was good. Was taken aback at how expensive things were. A beef kabob was $51. Wished they served rolls, but they did not. They did offer a basic pound cake at no charge for the person at our table celebrating their birthday. Bottom line, tasty food at a premium price. Make sure to have a reservation.

I absolutely loved angus barn! Since before moving to Raleigh I've heard about it and how I had to go for the holidays. It did not disappoint. The decorations were amazing, the food was amazing, and service was fantastic. We took my one year old son and I was very nervous about it but the server brought him over apple sauce. Another server brought him over rubber ducks and he was set! We ordered the Chateaubriand for two and it was great. All of the sides that came with it and the cheese and crackers were great. Already wanting to go back again soon!

The Angus Barn is a must if you're visiting Raleigh! At the holidays especially since they up their decor game more every year! The food is delicious and be prepared to overeat so don't eat all day! It's been family owned for years which makes it unique in a sea of chains. Make a reservation or be prepared to wait... and wait & wait!

The food was good, the service was excellent but man, the prices border on absurd. It was literally the most expensive restaurant we've ever been to, and we're in our 60's!

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!!

I came here to celebrate an anniversary after seeing amazing pictures of the holiday decor and WOW it lived up to the hype. Walking into Angus Barn is like walking into a Christmas extravaganza. Every part of the restaurant was beautifully decorated. Foodwise, I ordered the ribeye entree which came with a side of soup or salad and potatoes. The entire meal was amazing! The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was so tender. Although don't be like me and fill up on the cheese and crackers before the actual entree arrives! It was so much food I had to take most of it home. Our waiter was awesome. He was prompt and kind. I appreciated the anniversary cake he gave us at the end of our meal. Overall, I enjoyed my dinner at the Angus Barn. I loved the holiday decor and the food was fantastic as well. I will definitely be back!

Beautiful atmosphere beautiful decorations for Christmas but the food was absolutely horrific paid over $600 bill and everybody's meal was terrible. Would not go there for food ever again it's not the first time will not try or refer anyone ever only to drinks that's it. So sad really do not know how they survive.

Christmas decorations were over the top. Staff was friendly and pleasant. The starter cheese and crackers were unexpected, and enjoyable. Fitting for the "barn" theme. The caesar salad was LOADED with parmesan shavings... fantastic! The Chateaubriand had a perfect crust, but under seasoned. Some Malden salt would have been appreciated, the table salt was just crap. The mac and cheese was 90% pasta, very little cheese. The baked potato was nice.

10/10 recommend. The food was amazing. Service was fast, friendly and top notch. The complementary cheese and crackers is great. Steaks are fantastic. I sat at the bar area in the wild turkey lounge and it has a cool ambiance. The Olympic Games were being televised. Everyone is super friendly. Hope to go back soon!

Best restaurant with superb food and festive ambiance; highly recommend. Our server "Rebecca La" was very attentive, accommodating and courteous; we have been coming her for years and she has been the best server we have ever had at this restaurant.

How can you not go to Raleigh and try this Iconic steakhouse. You go for the old school atmosphere and the food is reliable. Need reservation unless you go upstairs to the Wild Turkey Lounge, throw back to austere times! They make a great Jefferson's Manhattan!

So here I am trying a nice steakhouse in North Carolina while I'm visiting and sorry to say it was disappointing. The server Angelique was a great , the food except for the sparerib appetizer was below average. 10 ounce steak and 16 ounce lobster tail more than half of it to go and I will probably never eat it. For me this is a never to go to again restaurant but for someone else they might enjoy it.

Everything ! Still my favorite "go to". I have lived in the Triangle since 1986. This is THE RESTAURANT I never hesitated to take a special family member for a very special occasion , a VIP from my workplace, or just a beloved friend! The service outstanding - the food ALWAYS superb! It is a Raleigh Landmark and a "go-to" for any newcomer or anyone just visiting the Triangle! Guaranteed to make a lasting impression!

Wow. What a disappointment. It was my first experience at this well known establishment and it is doubtful I will return. Let me start with a number ... 3. That is the number of times I had to send my steak back. I requested a medium rare rib eye. This first time it was overcooked. The second time it was undercooked. The third time is was undercooked. And they finally got it right on attempt number four. During this entire fiasco, our waiter was very professional. As I cut open every steak in front of him, he completely agreed with my assessment of the steak. I was happy he did so as I did not want the restaurant to think I was some crazy and demanding customer. I was just looking for a medium rare rib eye ... and expected a place like this to get it right the first time ... especially for the prices I was paying. He understood that this was a poor reflection on the kitchen and did everything he could to minimize this catastrophe. And it was his efforts that pulled my score up from one star to two. As this situation unfolded, the waiter told me that there was a new chef cooking my steak and he had seen other steaks sent back as well. As I was waiting for each new steak to arrive, I started thinking about his statement regarding the "new chef" with questions popping into my mind. For example ... Are new chefs not properly trained in this establishment? And after training, is there no supervision by a master to ensure quality? Or, has this place reached a point in it's tenure where the success of the past has allowed for quality standards to diminish? As you can imagine, at this point my entire family had completed their meal and were watching me eat. Unbelievable! However, I must say, that the management (with urging from our waiter) did not charge me for the steak and offered all of us a complementary dessert. Frankly, I think they should have picked up the whole tab. The fact that my family had to wait at least 30 minutes after completing their meal to watch me eat was ridiculous.

The service is slow and the wait was supposed to be minutes. Turned into more than a hour to get to the Meat Locker after we signed in at 4:00 when the place opened

My daughter and I had an excellent experience at the Angus Barn. the ambience was enchanting with all the gorgeous holiday decorations. the service was impeccable. Selena was bubbly, knowledgeable and attentive. As always the food was excellent. We love coming here any time of year. We also enjoy the special events

Service was awesome! Monika was our waitress. She was amazing. The ambiance with all the Christmas decorations was spectacular. The food was amazing. I can't wait to go back.

Food was delicious and decadent Cesar salad was delicious the dressing was creamy Lobster was on point and shrimp The steak was perfect medium juicy Pound cake was a great little touch for the birthday celebration Leftover salad with the steak for lunch - can't wait

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.

The holiday decor alone is a treat and Amazing with all the well thought out details -even in the restrooms! The food is consistently excellent with service that aims to make the experience perfect! There is nothing like this that can even compare. Always check out the Turkey Lounge and ask for a tour -very impressive ! The business is run so smoothly with customer service the highest priority !

I really wanted to love this place. I've heard so many good things and I know it's a staple in the local area. First, the building and all the decor are quite an incredible site. Heard it's even better during the holidays. Service was great. We had Kat. Table of 9 and she didn't miss a beat all night. Definitely southern hospitality throughout the place. Now... the food. I expected so much better. The cheese tasted like the canned cheese, although the crackers were very fresh. The ribs were good but the meat was quite thin on them. I also had the tuna steak. Wishing I would've gotten the suggested prime rib. I think this place adds a lot to the local vibe, and they love their local gems, but the food was very below average for us visiting from out of town.
