The Angus Barn is by far not the best steak in the triangle, I think people who do not eat at nice places much are impressed by the atmosphere, it seems like a fancy steak place, so how could it be bad? The service and food are mediocre at best, and I have eaten there all my life, mostly because of a work dinner or my parents want to go, but they don't eat out much either, I mean it's kind of a Raleigh Institution, it' s a familiar place. Try Capital City Chophouse, Jimmy V's in Cary, even Firebirds has a better steak, and it is Cheaper. I will give A.B. props on the wine list and dinners in the Wine Cellar, that part is great , just be prepared to dish out a lot for the wine if that is why you are going there, a thick book of different wines does you no good when you can only afford a 25 dollar bottle.Service is hit or miss, and the Turkey Lounge is a cool place to knock back a few cocktails, if you can find a seat in the crowd. However, I do not see how this place won best steak, there are too many better options these days, if this were 1988 I could see it.
