Stepping into Black Angus in Vancouver, WA, is like entering a place where you are greeted with an authentic old time charm. The moment we walked in, Manager Robert welcomed us with a warm and inviting smile. It was clear from the get-go that he genuinely cares about every guest and staff member, setting a positive tone for our dining experience.
Chris, our hostess for the evening, was quick to greet us and lead us to our table, her efficiency and warmth paving the way for what was sure to be a remarkable meal. And let me tell you, Rashaud and the rest of the talented kitchen crew lived up to every expectation, and then some!
Our culinary journey began with their irresistible hot molasses bread, a perfect start that had us eagerly anticipating what was next. The appetizers set a high bar, with the shrimp cocktail boasting shrimp very large and fresh, followed by a steak soup that enveloped us in a comforting warmth.
The side dishes were no less impressive. The baked potato soup and the mac and cheese were the epitomes of creaminess, while the fresh salad, tossed in the most perfect blue cheese dressing, balanced everything out beautifully. Yet, it was the main courses that truly stole the show: the salmon, seasoned to perfection, and the filet mignon, tender and bursting with flavor, delivered a masterclass in how simple ingredients, when handled with care, can create something truly extraordinary.
For dessert, the crème brûlée was a slice of heaven, its creamy texture and rich flavor providing the perfect ending to a magnificent meal. The $5 pineapple mimosa added a refreshing, tropical twist that I couldn’t get enough of!
Despite the bustling atmosphere, the staff maintained an excellent level of service throughout our visit, a true reflection of Robert’s exemplary leadership and his team’s commitment to ensuring every guest feels valued and cared for.
It's also delightful to hear how their premade Thanksgiving meal has brought joy to many, not to mention the legendary status of their Big Mountain Fudge Cake, which is, frankly, a dessert not to be missed.
In essence, Black Angus in Vancouver, WA, offers more than just a meal; it provides an experience where delicious food, attentive service, and a heartfelt atmosphere combine to create truly unforgettable visits. A massive thank you to Robert, Chris, Rashaud, and the entire team for making our dinner exceptionally special. I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to experience this top-notch dining destination for themselves – you won’t be...
Read moreI don't even know where to start with this review. What started out to be an evening Christmas celebration with childhood friends, we had all been looking forward to going to the Black Angus for several months. When we finally got there, our reservation was 5:45 so we could order some drinks for Happy Hour. We were told by our waitress that we could not order happy hour drinks unless we were seated at the bar. I didn't see anywhere that that was written on the menus. Three of us ordered our steaks med well, When two people brought them out they had no idea who was to get what, we handed the food around until we all got what we had ordered. when two of the steaks were cut into they were very rare and the broccoli was very raw, and not even hot. My steak was properly cooked but not at all hot, my au gratin potatoes were luke warm. We tracked the waitress down and told her, she wasn't really sure what to do and when to the kitchen, my husband went up to the cashier and asked for a manager. The manager came and took our food to the kitchen, then h brought it back to us and although mine was cooked properly it was reheated one one side only. My potatoes were nice and hot. Meanwhile the other person whose meat was cooked ok had finished his food while we were just starting ours. All the manager had to say was sometimes people just have a bad day. I asked him if they use thermometers and he said yes of course they do, he just kept baking excuses for the bad conditions of our food. Meanwhile I ordered a glass of wine. we had also ordered a soda. When we got the bill it was only for the two drinks. That was a good move on his part but I would much rather have paid full price and had a normal delicious relaxing meal. My stomach was in a knot and we packed up our leftover food and left. All of this was the opposite of the last three times we had been there in the last 1 1/2 year. I'm sorry I did not write a review of those times. But just know that everything was just perfect and delicious. We went Aug 2023 with friends for their anniversary, Feb 2024 with my Aunt and uncle, perfect and delicious, we took our teen granddaughters Oct 2024 and they can't stop talking about it. So I have really good reviews to report. It may be awhile before we return though because it was so...
Read moreOur dining experience here left very little to be desired.
Service: Not that it was slow but more like non-existent. On-time for our reservation but it literally took 15 minutes after being seated just to get our waters. Our server was friendly, slow, but forgetful. Our food wasn't all terrible just the parts that were forgotten, cooked wrong and tougher than leather to eat. The African American Manager who greeted all the tables was mild mannered and friendly but didn't offer much other than that.. *Sides were forgotten and had to be asked for more than once.. our 18oz bone in ribeye was nothing close to being bone in.. A 1 inch bone shaving doesn't constitute "bone in". I did request it medium well but it was more rare then well because I watched the blood roll in to my asparagus as my olate was set down in front of me.. my first bite was tougher than leather to chew.🤪 so I decided to send it back!! If I'm spending $40-$50 for steak atleast ensure it is palatable. The Manager persisted in explaining that because of the cut the toughness was obviously due to tendons that are naturally in the meat.. I didn't argue with him but I definitely explained that regardless of his reasoning it was simply unacceptable and it was inedible and therefore I sent it back for something else. "Hope you all enjoy your dinner glad we can fix that for you" was all he offered and walked away. Yah know offering us a drink (soda) a dessert or appetizer would have conveyed a "sorry we dropped the ball" kind of gesture.. especially when the investment into dinner at your establishment is an easy $200 or more. But the Manager left it there as he walked away and that alone left a sour taste in our mouths.. we're definitely going to venture down under or better yet across the bridge for our next hankering for steaks.. We paid our bill. Left a nice tip and out the door we went. Thanks but NO thanks Black Angus because you should have...
