I ordered the Prime Rib when I dined at the Angus Barn. The Prime Rib was perfectly prepared and was very tender and delicious. The service at the Angus Barn is outstanding as well. The waiter came by our table often, keeping the table clean and clear of unwanted dishes and utensils as we dined.

After our meal, we were stuffed. So we decided to have a look around the Angus Barn Gift Shop, or Country Store, there they offer a variety of trinkets and such, and you can also buy the Angus Barn Cheese Spreads. Outside in the back of the parking lot there is a Self-Kicking Machine if you are so inclined to try it out.

Overall, Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC is an excellent place to Dine. The service is great, the food is outstanding, and the atmosphere is wonderful and cozy. I highly recommend Angus Barn.
