Stuart Anderson's Black Angus Steakhouse

Stuart Anderson's Black Angus Steakhouse

Stuart Anderson's Black Angus Steakhouse is a US West Coast steak restaurant chain. I normally don't go to Black Angus, but my friend had a gift certificate plus received a mailer coupon. We went to the closest one, which is in the Tustin Marketplace. The Tustin Marketplace is located in Orange County on Jamboree Road just one block north of Interstate 5. The Black Angus is located at the corner of Jamboree and El Camino Real on the Tustin side of the Marketplace, next to In-N-Out and Best Buy.

From what I know, Black Angus' menu has been updated, revamped, and the menu changed to re-attract customers. The inside has been changed with an updated look with neon lights and a modern appearance. When I went to Black Angus years ago, all of the restaurants had heavy logs incorporated into the design, and lots of 1970s style decor. Obviously that has been changed to attract a younger crowd.

We went on a Friday, so there were quite a few people waiting in the restaurant lobby. We were seated after a 15 minute wait. We were seated in a comfortable booth, no more heavy cloth seat backs, but nice cushy vinyl (I'm sure they weren't leather) booths.

Our server greeted us quickly after we took our seats and went off with our drink orders. We both ordered soft drinks. The menu is very typical of a chain steakhouse.

Since we had the local mailer coupon, which advertised a steak dinner for two with appetizer and dessert. The choices were two sirloin dinners for $34, two prime rib for $36, or two filet mignon for $38. We chose the prime rib dinner for two.

Our waiter brought us the warm bread and butter moments later. It's a loaf of whole grain bread with oats on top.

Our "wagon wheel" appetizer and our salads came out. It consists of buffalo strips and accompanying garnish, potato skins, shrimp cocktail, fried zucchini. The salads were both garden salads, and pretty basic, but tasted as expected and were good.

Our prime rib dinners came out. We both ordered ours medium rare, and they came out correctly. There was a small metal ramekin with au jus sauce and another with horseradish. In trying to stay health conscious (ahem...yeah right...) we both ordered the vegetable medley as a side dish. That consisted of zuchini, squash, brocoli, and baby carrots. The dinner tasted pretty good.

Our dessert was the chocolate lava cake. It's a chocolate cake with fudge in the center, and topped with chocolate shavings and ice cream. It's a very rich cake.

Our total bill with the packaged $36 coupon meal and two soft drinks came out to $41.48 with tax. My friend had a $25 gift card, so we paid and left quite satisfied.

Stuart Anderson's Black Angus is a fairly good steakhouse for a chain. You get good bang for your buck here. Normally this would cost 50-70% more elsewhere. I'd recommend it.
