My wife says: ""Prime rib was bland and tough"" My feeling is that they do age their steak, but use a low quality grade beef - select or lower. The crackers and the cheese -compliments of the house - was the best part of the meal - oh yes, the desert was good. It is possible they wet age instead of dry age which would be the reason for the blandness of their steaks. The steaks did not exhibit shrinkage which is an indicator of a good dry age steak along with a nice nutty flavor.\r
I don't quite understand the hoopla behind this place and maybe because I am rather new here. This place was recommended by a friend and I'll only recommend it for the atmosphere. This place is about atmosphere like the cheesecake factory which is very bland and about the worst cheesecake I've ever eaten.\r
I've had much better steaks at applebee's and of course the steaks I make at home. \r
Save your hard earned money, this place will cost you about a 100.00 a head for a fast evening. The angus barn is great if you want to impress your friends with how much money you have or your status. But they will have the last laugh.\r
If you want to take you friends out for a great time and the food service is not too fast (allows for more time with friends) try CasaLinga on Capital or even ""On the border"" and enjoy.\r
Bottom line: I think we are being fooled as a consumer when eating at the Angus Barn. I honestly do not believe you are receiving what they are implying.\r

I once went to a popular restaurant and made an honest mention at the end of the meal which is going against the popular belief that I did not like the food and did not understand why so many people did. I was worried about the feedback and to my surprise, nobody else like it there either!! Ask your friends and family for an honest opinion because you might just be throwing your money out the window because you think that you are making them happy!
Pros: Cheese and Crackers and good atmosphere
Cons: Poor Grade Beef and probably wet aged. Not fine dining - it is a steak house
