   The service was very good but the food not so good The steaks were not cooked as ordered. The steak soup had no steak in it and the potato skins had no bacon and the one ordered with chives had none either so it was just cheese

   Service is usually good at this location but not this time. Our server forgot us several times. She also didn’t take my reward number when I asked her to. When we finally got the bill I just wanted to leave.

   A restaurant named for a good quality beef should at least have Choice cuts of meat. We ordered “prime” rib which doesn’t have to be “prime” but I was not expecting Select. Mac n cheese was cold. Waiter was very nice and helpful. Food service was slow. Decor was awful. What was a warm, intimate atmosphere is now walls painted white and highly lit. Will not be going back.

   Our server was excellent. Usually all is perfect food prep wise here but my steak was quite b underdone as was the broccoli. I actually sen both back for further cooking. Perfect when returned. Very busy on a Sunday night so rather loud but not annoyingly. The light factor n is really quite high. That downgrades any possible ambiance. Even just a little dimmer would be a gift. Regardless, the quality and value are there and our waiter was very caring. Makes up for a lot.

   Excellent sirloin and porterhouse steaks cooked to perfection. Tender, juicy medium rare. Our best steaks ever at a Black Angus. The server was fast and friendly. A very enjoyable experience.

   Overall, we generally love Black Angus. Our most recent visit was disappointing though. They're clearly struggling to be fully staffed, like many other businesses, leading to lapses in their usually good patron experience. We had to remind staff to bring us utensils, the garlic herb butter topper for the steak was frozen solid, vegetables were extremely undercooked, etc. The steaks were correctly cooked though, which is a good thing!

   My Steak and the potatoes could have been hotter but they were delicious. Our server was super friendly and helpful. The wine flight was excellent.

    My experience was good. My wife, however, ordered a Chipotle salad without the Chipotle dressing, and it had the dressing on it. Otherwise, it was a good experience.
