Friendly service and the establishment is clean with no funky smells. Complimentary bread is always a must. It's hard not to eat the whole thing !! It comes warm with soft butter. The loaded potato soup is a pass for me. It was cold but I think it's because of the sour cream. It doesn't taste bad - Just not my vibe but I'm glad I tried it. Ribeye is my favorite cut and I asked for med rare and it came out to near well done. :( the steak still had good flavor and I ate the whole thing because I was starving - didn't want to waste more time sending it back. Prime rib is cool, but I think I'll stick to the ribeye from here ! read more

Soooo...this is our go-to for lunch or dinner when we dont want to cook at home, but recently we've had some not so good experiences in Bakersfield. Furing the past 3 visits, we've had watered down tea....which may be a minimal issue, but three attempts until we received freshly brewed tea....as we left the restaurant. Yes, i asked for it to go cuz i paid for it. The last three visits, the bread was nuked so badly it was hard to tear apart and chew, we left it alone. Gone are the days of warm bread served at the table that tasted freshly baked. My hubby's meat which was requested as medium well...came to our table over cooked. At EACH of the last 3 visits. At one of the last visits, it took awile for someone to refill our drinks..and itcwas a slow afternoon. Oh, I ordered the scalloped potatoes which were really good the first time I tried them, the second time, there were actually NO potatoes included..just the cheese and sauce. Then yesterday, after lunch, we noticed a service fee added to our check for using a credit card. So, I checked my lastv3 receipts from my purse, all had the same charge. Yet no one informed us that if paying with cash ....no fee. So, needless to say, hubby was not happy and kind of disappointing since we really liked this place. It looks like BA just lost two customers. I think management needs to review some of these issues before they lose more of us. read more

Ordered pick up for 3 people. They apparently have discontinued their Lasso burger but my sister was happy with her chicken avocado sandwich. We got surf and turf and grilled salmon dinners. The order was ready on time. The food was delicious. I joined the rewards club because I will definitely get takeout from them again. My mom doesn't like to go out so I really appreciate being able to bring it home so she can enjoy it. read more

We went there for dinner a few fridays ago. We didn't know they have happy hour all day Friday which was a nice. They were pretty crowded, so you could tell a lot of people enjoy their food. I hadn't been to a black angus in years. We ordered a medium rare ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. I got a loaded baked potato, salad and a bloody mary. Everything was delicious. read more

Black Angus was always a great place for steak, but the last couple visits have been a little disappointing, with hits and misses. The salad and bread were the best bites, along with a delicious Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake, which I highly recommend. The house-made blue cheese dressing is great . My steak was very salty, possibly from the garlic butter. Hubby's prime rib was decent. The burnt ends poblano pasta was terrible. It tasted like smoke and nothing else. I wanted to wipe my tongue with the napkin to get the taste out of my mouth. I'd avoid that like the plague. Overall, I think they've slipped in quality, which is disappointing. read more

Only giving them 5 stars because Lillyann rocks!!! The place was either busier than it seems or they are severely understaffed, but man it took almost an 45 minutes to get our food. However, Lillyann kept checking in, bringing what we asked (water and Tabasco sauce, we weren't being obnoxious lol). The food was alright, but disappointed that they didn't have the 2 items we had ordered - rib eye as the entree and then the asparagus as a side. Our second time here and honestly the service doesn't disappoint (with the exception of whomever brought our food). Thanks Lillyann for giving it your all and, despite me knowing you were exhausted with all the running around you did, you never showed it!!! read more

Visited Saturday for my nephew's birthday. We ordered calamari, cheese bread, and potstickers to start our dinner. The drinks and appetizers came out quickly. The calamari was delicious yet the spicy red sauce was personally not my favorite. I just feel it didn't pair well with the calamari. The tartar sauce was ok dipping sauce I just feel as though a better sauce could be accompanied with the calamari. The potstickers were delicious and the same red spicy sauce was paired with the potstickers yet honestly the sauce in the pan is great! The cheese bread with steak was delicious! One of my favorite appetizers of the evening. I ordered a 8 oz. sirloin with a mushrooms & blue cheese topper and mashed potatoes. I ordered the steak medium and was cooked more like a well done steak. Overall, waitress was great checking in and bringing refills and food was brought out promptly. read more

The chicken bacon avocado sandwich is a sloppy mess. The bartender was awesome but I'd definitely never get that sandwich again

I normally write only positive posts but this time I am so disappointed in pretty much every aspect of our visit. I will start off by saying this has been our go to place for 15 plus years before this decline we have witnessed. Tonight when we stopped in for dinner it wasn't very busy so when ordering we asked to have our appetizers before they bring us the salads (the tables are rather small in the bar to have both at once). We restated again after the order was completed and no more than 2 minutes later she carried salads over and when we said we repeated that we wanted the appetizer first and the salad about 15 minutes later and her response was "well salad is an appetizer sort of", and walked away. We gave up on that request and when ordering our actual dinner my husband said he wanted no sour cream on his potato because he can't stand the stuff (to make sure she realized he didn't want that on his plate for sure). Well here came his potato and it was piled high with sour cream. He had to send it back. It seems that they have changed the quality of the food in the last 2 years because the steak was tough as nails which we have noticed the last couple of times but figured it was just a rough busy evening and it wasn't going to be a big deal in the future but this was becoming a major disappointment for us. The ribs I ordered were extremely fatty and that was the reason I loved the place before. I know everything isn't the waitresses fault. I just feel the entire place is going going down hill with there quality of food. It must be an issue with quite a few others because the place was pretty empty compared to how it use to be. I don't see us going back in the future. read more

Totally ridiculous!! Came for dinner Tuesday at 6:20. Not busy!!! But ask us to have a seat and wait. A table for 2 really!! Tables open all over the dining room we sat and then the hostess and manager disappeared, so after being ignored we took our money elsewhere. read more

We had a great time visiting Black Angus. Our food and service was amazing. Our server Mark went above and beyond. We never had to ask for refills or for anything extra because he was on top of it. My wife and I ordered the campfire feast and every thing was perfect! We came with a group of friends and the restaurant was a perfect vibe for us to catch up and laugh. Will definitely be returning. read more

Black Angus Steakhouse - 12 oz NY steak, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese. - Steakhouses Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Decided to stop by Black Angus to give it a try. Overall, the experience wasn't bad. Our waiter was attentive and checked in on us, though a few items took a bit longer to come out, but it was nothing major to complain about. We ordered the Steak & Lobster Trio. The steak was good, cooked to what we had asked, but it is on the smaller side (6 oz), so keep that in mind. The lobster was tasty, but it was a pretty small portion. For sides, we chose the mac & cheese and the loaded baked potato, and both paired well with the meal. One thing I wouldn't recommend is the sauce that comes on the side for the shrimp, it wasn't great. Overall, I'd give Black Angus another try. read more

After posting virtually this same review on the restaurant's website, I received a call from the district manager. He apologized profusely for the incident I had described. Further, he said the staff has had training on gluten allergies and are expected to take strict precautions. He said he would personally ensure that the staff receives additional training and thanked me for calling this serious incident to his attention. I very much appreciate his call, his understanding and his willingness to take measures to ensure people with gluten allergies will be safe dining at this restaurant. read more

This was my "go to". But I just can't keep throwing good money after bad hoping for a miracle. I just ordered my normal order, 12 oz rib eye, au gratin potatoes, Brussel sprouts. Normally, if the steak is tough, fatty, or full of gristle, I could fill up on the sides. Not this time. All the dishes were equally bad. The Au Gratin potatoes were flavorless, and the Brussel sprouts were hard and tough. I have been considering this review for a long time. Today, I just couldn't let it go again. read more

Stopped at Black Angus for lunch today. One of the first things I noticed is how dated the restaurant looks. Torn/repaired booth seats , plenty of dust and dishes left on ledges,flickering ceiling lights. Took a long time to get our food. I'm assuming our food sat on the counter for a while, as it wasn't hot when it came out. Which is sad, the food was actually pretty good. My wife had the prime rib and eggs, I had the steak and grains bowl. If only it had been served at the right temperature. Schedule better Black Angus, or maybe have managers actually help instead of just telling people you're short staffed. The price was decent, but overall was a missed opportunity. read more

So our group goes to Black Angus a lot. Usually the service is stellar. Food always awesome. But today was disappointing. The hostess Jordan should work in the back. She doesn't smile. No welcome while we were standing there waiting for her to be done speaking on the phone with someone. It was odd because when she was talking to the person on the phone she wasn't even holding the receiver end properly to her mouth. It was down by her neck. I don't even know how they heard anything. She finally looked up and said, "will it just be you two?" I said hello, then asked what her name was, to which she said in a very drab tone "Jordan". She didn't know if it was happy hour when we asked. She had to go and check with someone. Please please please train this girl to have better customer service skills. If someone could please verify this I will gladly remove this review. read more

Ate there for dinner on 9/02/2026. I had the prime rib. The meat was tough and had no flavor at all, the bake potato was barely warm. They had no bread said they ran out.me and my two sister decide to never eat there again the dinners cost $113.93 plus tip. Service ok food was terrible. read more

Visited there Friday evening to celebrate my cousin's 80th birthday. What a disappointment! They gave the impression that we would have a private room. At least that's what they paid for. There was no private room offered, so we were in the middle of this establishment trying to celebrate as a family. For the package they paid for all she got was 3 balloons, a birthday card and a sign acknowledging she was 80. The restaurant's menu does not match the online menu. I was so disappointed to get there knowing what I was going to order and it was not on the in house menu. My cousin had the same issue not finding what she had in mind to order. So we ordered from the menu. It was a party of about 10 people and the waitress mixed up all the orders and she did the same with the bill at the end of the night. I had not been to Black Angus in over 10 years, and this was quite a disappointment. I would not recommend this restaurant to any of my friends. read more

Our server was so amazing!! We never wanted for anything!! Super great tasting food!! read more

This place has been a date night staple for us for going on 12 years. Being creatures of habit, we always order the same - campfire feast for two with the spinach dip to start, the top sirloin and chicken and half rack of ribs for the entrees and the fudge cake for dessert. The only real thing that changes for us is our drink selection and how much we've aged since the first time we came to Black Angus! Servers are always friendly and our food always come out great and in a timely manner. Can't go wrong at this place! I will say that the only real problem I found with our visit this time is the giant tear in the fabric where we were seated. read more

First off came today on a whim. Saw there was a special for NY steak and decided to come on and give it a try. Been years since I came to Black Angus. The hostess and waitress were great and super nice. The steak was pretty tender and flavorful. Asparagus was good as well as the Mac and Cheese. Cannot forget the bread they serve before the meal. Honestly it was a bit dry, it was warm but also toasted some which could be why it's dry. Would come back. read more

When we arrived, we asked if the bar was open seating. They said, yea, so ww proceeded to go in and sit only to be told certain areas were not open seating. That we had to check in w host. We did and she led us back into the bar and host was going to seat us at the table we wanted, only for the manager to tell her we could not sit there. No one sat at that particular table the rest of the night. She was extremely rude and I thought it was unnecessary. The restaurant was not even that busy. Our food took over 45 minutes. Im usually satisfied with BA restaurant. But I was so disappointed in how we were treated. Our server was pleasant but I have never been treated so unprofessionally in my life. I was a server in a restaurant. Both my daughters are servers. Manager was unprofessional and patronizing read more

Our food was decent and very tasty but the service was terrible. Our server was unfriendly and when I questioned a random charge on the bill she pretty much said hey too bad that's the charge. When I asked for a side of teriyaki she never stated there was a charge for it. It took forever to receive our drinks and food. The restaurant was not crowded at all. read more

Food was good but I was extremely disappointed in service and got charged wrong. Me and my mom both ordered the three cheese bread and added steak to it. Menu price says $17.99 they charged us different they added $10 per meal for the steak which made it $23.99 each. Our waiter never checked on us. The manager ended up coming by and picking up our plates and asked if my daughter wanted her ice cream that came with her kids meal we said yes. 20 mins later still no ice cream and it wasn't busy at all. We never got a check ended up all getting up and walking to the front and our waiter met us there with the check. The manager also asked on my way out if we got our ice cream I told him no and he just shook his head. But like I said fabulous food, horrible service, and they did overcharge me. read more

Our grandson was craving lobster the other night, and since he also likes battered fried shrimp, we thought Black Angus would be a safe choice for takeout. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a major disappointment--especially for the price. The lobster was shockingly bland. No smell, no flavor, nothing. Even the shell didn't have that fresh seafood aroma you'd expect. The fried shrimp was the same story--completely flavorless. I ordered the prime rib medium rare with a baked potato, baked potato soup, and broccoli. The prime rib came way overcooked, with none of the tenderness or juiciness you expect from prime rib. The baked potato was still hard in the center, clearly undercooked. The broccoli was bland and forgettable. My wife ordered a chicken dish, and while she didn't go into detail, her review was simple: she wouldn't order it again. To be fair, the baked potato soup was excellent--probably the highlight of the meal. The bread was also very good, and the butter, sour cream, and chives for the potato were fine... but that doesn't make up for the rest. For what was a very expensive meal, the food quality was nowhere near the price point. This will probably be our last time ordering Black Angus--at least for takeout. read more

This visit was at the Black Angus in Bakersfield, CA, and it was supposed to be a birthday dinner for my dad. Unfortunately, the entire experience was a mess from start to finish. I ordered a fully loaded baked potato and a medium ribeye. What I received was cheesy potato au gratin and a well-done steak. When I brought this to the server's attention, the manager brought out a replacement steak about 10 minutes later, but it was rare. Instead of cooking a new steak, he took the same one back and reheated it. By the time it came back out, my entire family had already finished eating. To make matters worse, the service was rushed and inattentive. The server came by and asked how everything was, I said it was fine, and she immediately asked if I was ready for the bill and requested my card on the spot because she was "extremely busy." When my card was run, I noticed the charge was higher than expected. Looking at the receipt, I saw I had been charged for the well done ribeye and the reheated ribeye that should not have been on the bill at all. When I pointed it out, the server apologized and asked to rerun my card for a refund and correct charge. Within the next two minutes, I was charged two additional times. The manager eventually came back, apologized, and said it was a mistake and that I "shouldn't be concerned." No comp, no discount, nothing -- just a "sorry" and a request to come back. For a birthday dinner, this was embarrassing, frustrating, and completely unacceptable. Poor food execution, poor service, and careless handling of billing. I will never return. read more

Black Angus Steakhouse - No reason for these mistakes! - Steakhouses Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Usually love this place! Usually great food and service. Today was different unfortunately. From the minute we walked in, my mom asked the hostess nicely if the bar was open seating. She looked to her coworker, continuing their conversation, looked at my mom like she was dumb, rolled her eyes and said "the bar? yeah it's open seating" We went to near bar seating, nicely making sure with a manager that we were in the right spot as we've all worked in restaurants before and were responded with, "Sorry no, you'll have to check in with the host" No worries! So we go back, check in, and we're taken to the exact same table only two minutes later, when the same manger stood in front blocking the table saying we'd have to wait for it. No one sat at the table the rest of the night. read more

My family and I were hungry after a long day of driving and this was the closest restaurant to our hotel. The place has a cozy feel with dim lighting.

The steak was cooked nicely but I wish the mashed potatoes and green beans had more flavor. Overall the food and service were okay. read more

Dinner date with the wifey so thought we'd eat somewhere we hadn't been in a while. We couldn't remember why it's been so long since our last visit here, but after dining again I suspect I know...To start we shared an appetizer of the loaded potato skins. Crispy bacon bits, melted cheese, delicious, what's not to love We both opted for a Caesar salad in addition to our meal. The salad was fresh but I thought it was kinda odd that it was very cold. Not just fresh cold, but very cold (I can only presume that it must've just come out of the refrigerator). I did like the croutons and cheese shavings, but this was a sad Caesar salad. Very lightly dressed and lacking flavor. I also opted for the 14oz New York Strip (medium-well), added sautéed mushrooms with a side of broccoli. The steak looked really good and was cooked perfectly to my liking with excellent flavor. The issue lies in the tenderness of the steak. While it was juicy, the meat was tough. The mushrooms were a total bust. I was expecting nice sliced mushrooms sautéed in butter, what I received was a tiny bit of dry rubbery bits. And the side of broccoli? Laughable. 2 small florettes, that's it. Is there a broccoli shortage that I'm not aware of because I don't know how 2 florettes equals a side of broccoli. My wife ordered a filet, with added bleu cheese and she really enjoyed it. I also tried it and it was super juicy and tender, delicious. (Just for comparison I took a picture of her loaded mashed potatoes so you can see a clear distinction in how a side order should look, and one where they're skimping and you're being cheated) I obviously couldn't leave without ordering the crème brûlée and I'm glad I did. So good, loved it. I will say our server was very good. Very attentive, very friendly. Unfortunately not the experience I had hoped for. No wonder... read more

Hi Black Angus Steakhouse Feedback. We had a party of 20 with a reservation made 3 days prior on Saturday 12 6 2025 at 6pm...... only 1 waitress was assigned to us... she was hustling and did well... we asked to talk to the manager on duty his name was Nate..... And all we said was that the waitress should of had help instead of being by herself... she was over whelmed... all he said was nothing but excuses. .that they were slammed..(the restaurant was not very busy from what we could see... and just told us that it takes a while to get all our checks since there were 6 different tickets... Never apologized.... then just walked away.... We just feel we should of not been there for 4 hours.. 1 hour was to even get our orders taken... and 1 hour waiting for our tickets..... The manager on duty was the reason for this email.... he was just condescending and just seemed to not care..... Aleka Grace Benabise Coronado read more

In town for sad family reasons. Went in at 6:30 tonight, which is a Thursday. Admittedly just after my mom and I walked in, a party of 18 was seated. We were told 15 minutes for us to be seated so we stayed. We were not seated until 7. We had to ask what was happening with our seating and it seemed we were nearly forgetten, though the hostess said she was waiting for us to be seated until more of the large group had ordered. Fine. By 7:15 all my mom had to show for our 15 minutes of finally being at a table was water. We were still waiting on our waitress to bring us bread and let us order. We knew what wanted the entire time. We put our order in by 7:30 finally. And then the food started coming out. We purchased the large meal for 2 that includes an appetizer, two entrees, four sides and a dessert. Our potato skins were great, as was my mother's wedge salad. Steaks were out about 7:45 and were delicious.. I ordered a side of broccoli that per the menu. Was supposed to be roasted in garlic. It was cold and nearly raw on my plate. The manager came by to check and brought me a new order, that was slightly more cooked but still nearly raw and flavorless. Our steaks were amazing. They were the highlight for sure. Which is why you go to black angus. I had the strip and mom the ribeye. Our other sides were so so. We chose crème brûlée for dessert to go. After we laid our check, we walked out the door at 8:20. We spent two hours inside and were or checked on and had pretty poor service. Food was ok. After the large part of 18 was seated and served there wasn't a rush or ton of people. It was not a great experience. I'll recommend black angus in general for steak, but if I ever find myself in Bakersfield again. I'll pass. read more

Terrible. Just terrible service. I tried to go more than once to see it was just the servers/wait staff that night. Still bad. I ordered a Cobb salad with steak on it to go and the lady complained to her coworker that I left a $6 tip on a $25 tab. Maybe she cant do math, but over 20% on a to go order is pretty decent. Will never go back again. read more

Met a friend here for lunch. The restaurant was a bit packed for the lunch hour but I'm guessing because of the recent holidays and with schools still on winter recess. With it being a steakhouse, there's not many options lighter fare,. They don't offer a lunch menu either. However, my friend really wanted to eat her burger for lunch at this place. I ended up getting an order of shrimp scampi, side salad, and a cup of the steak soup. I haven't been to Black Angus in decades. Growing up I remember my dad taking the family to this steakhouse. I think a revamp of their menu might be overdue. But I'm sure there are some die-hard fans that would argue with me about that. read more
