“"what a Pleasant Sruprise"”

Black Angus Grille

5 of 5 stars
VA Beach Virginia
Feb 5, 2008

My wife and I are from Virginia Beach and recently visited Williamsburg. We met there ten years ago and decided to return to try some of the new resturants that were not there when we last visited. After passing by a few appealing choices we decided on The Black Angus Grille. When we walked in we were surprised at the elegant and fresh look of the dining room. We were pleasantly greeted by a cheerful gentleman who seated us in a cozy and confortable table as my wife requested.

Our server shortly after greeted us with a cheerful smile, welcomed us, and asked if we "would like to start with a beverage of any kind". Not the traditional wine drinker i knew I wanted a white wine even though I planed to have a beef entree. I asked for a recommendation for a sweet white, and he recommended the "Johannisburg" Riesling. To my delight it was the perfect choice. There were no dinner specials but our server rambled off about five or six of his favorites. All sounded appealing so we decided on his favorites of BBQ Shrimp which my wife and I split, the nine oz Certified Angus Filet Mignon for me, and the Crab Stuffed Shrimp for my wife.

After about five minuets into our dinner service I had DeJa-vu moment and insisted to my wife that we had dined here before., but my wife assured me that we had not. I was positive that we had so I asked our server a little about the history of the Black Angus Grille, and was surprise that it was previously called The Prime Rib House. With a confident grin I told my wife, "I told you so". We had indeed dined there before. Not a disappointment but we found out that the only major changes were basically a relocation of the Bar and Now they carry all Certified Angus Beef so our expectations were now even higher than before.

We were optimistic and welcomed the change. The knowledge of our server and the confidents of how he described his favorites just gave us a level of comfort that we decided that even if the food wasn't to our satisfaction, we would definitely return for the great service that we experienced. We then started with the BBQ shrimp, wonderful choice and the flavor was beyond our expecations, "Outstanding". The salads we could tell were freshly prepared, and by the time our entrees arrived we were ready to indulge in what we were really craving. I ordered my nine oz filet nignon med rare and was surprised that it was cooked exactly how I wanted and to the description of our server, a seventy five percent pink center, as is also described on the menu. The Flavor of the steak was a delight, and so was the side of recommended marsala demi-glace sauce. I asked my wife how hers was and her answer was "pretty good". but the expression on her face sait outstanding. I decided to try for myself and was surprised to fine the seafood just as good as the steak. We finished off with Tira Misu, which our server informed us wasn't home made, but none the less found it to be a perfect ending to a wonderful dining experience. With a fairly priced menu, I think we will not wait as long to return.

The Black Angus Grille In Williamsburg Virginia, a wonderful choice and a pleasant surprise. We will definitely return soon.

“Black Angus Grille for great Steaks and pasta”

Black Angus Grille

Dec 7, 2007

My family and I have dined out in Williamsburg plenty of times and I have to say that my experience at The Black Angus Grille on Richmond Rd. has always been consistenly delicious. We had dinner there on Monday night December 3rd and I had the T-bone Steak and I was overly pleased on the portion as well as preparation. The Certified Angus Beef is a consistently great product that we often purchase in the local markets. My wife had the Tri- color penne pasta with the Grilled Shrimp Alfredo, she hasn't stopped talking about it. The whole meal experience with a nice fresh romaine lettuce with homemade vinegrette, the fresh oven baked bread and cocktails was well worth the price. if you are on a budget there are plenty of delicious affordable entrees here also and it is kid friendly.

“Bad Service, Bad food, long wait . . .”

Black Angus Grille

1 of 5 stars
Glen Allen, VA
Dec 4, 2007

A group of 8 of us went to this restaurant because my sister-in-law went last year and thought it was very good. She felt awful after the experience we had because it was quite the opposite. After sitting at the table for 20 minutes, we finally had a waitress approach our table and take our drink and appetizer orders. The waitress disappeared and we didn't get our drinks until 1/2 hour later. While we were waiting, two ladies sitting next to us started talking to us and told us we will probably be waiting awhile because their service was terrible. They waited so long to get their bill they finally gave up and just left cash on the table.

Finally, we got our appetizers. We ordered spinach artichoke dip which was revolting. It looked like a bowl of pureed green soup. We asked the waitress what was wrong with it and if it always looked like that. She blankly repeated "its spinach artichoke dip, its spinach artichoke dip". She was not apologitic and did not offer a refund at all - even though it was left untouched. From our table, the pork chops and clam chowder seemed to be the best options. Actually, the kids meal of chicken nuggets didn't seem bad either. However, the danish ribs were dry and the filet mignon was not cooked properly. Also, the spanakopita and crab cakes were disappointing both served with the same oily pink pepper pesto sauce.

Our waitress consitently seemed to have a disappearing act. Everything seemed to take very long. Even getting our bill was an ordeal. I do not plan on ever going to this restaurant again.

“A great value in Williamsburg”

Black Angus Grille

Nov 25, 2007

Noticed a bad review from a diner in Nov. 2007. We love this restaurant: food is an excellent value and we have had a GREAT waiter (Keith). We were in Williamsburg in Dec 2006 for a two week stay and enjoyed the Black Angus so much that we have 4 dinners there! Please give them a try, I don't believe you'll be dissapointed in the least. Going back for Christmas this year and have already made reservations. Enjoy!

“A Great Place To Eat”

Black Angus Grille

Williamsburg, Virginia
Nov 15, 2007

As a resident of Williamsburg, I highly recommend Black Angus Grille. I have enjoyed every item I have ordered. The dinners have all been very flavorful and satisfying. Their portions are generous. Most of the time I don't have room for dessert. But, I do enjoy there desserts as well. They have a unique Bourbon Pecan pie thats excellent. You will also find there waiting staff courteous and attentive. All in all a fine dining experience.
