It is a bar/restaurant that has clearly been around for a minute, with good food. We visited on a Saturday evening and the place was packed. You enter into the bar area, place your drink and food order at the "hostess counter". They bring your drinks to you and tell you where to sit. It was clean and comfy but new visitors should just be aware that is a relaxed "dive" bar with awesome steaks. The staff was nice and they had an acoustic guitar player for the evening that was very pleasant to listen to. We ordered the "Corn Ribs" that were really tasty. Our cheese burger and roast beef sandwich was really good. Even though we didn't order steaks those around us did and not only did they look and smell delicious the customers I asked about them said they tasted "excellent, divine, cooked perfectly". So it was worth the drive down and barren stretch of Rt 321 to find the place. read more

This is a little place that is good for a quick, basic lunch. Friendly staff and fast service. Fries were good.

Excellent food with amazing service. Consistently! Great place to go with friends for hanging out or for a special occasion!

This was a great find on our short trip to Hickory. This is counter service with good food. Go to the counter, order your food, choose a table and the waitress will bring your food. They were very efficient. We arrived about 6:00. We ordered, received our food quickly, ate, and were out in 45 minutes. We didn't wait long, but 15 minutes later the line was to the door. I ordered a small ribeye. The steak was cooked perfectly. Small salad and red potato were nice sides. This isn't fancy, but it is good food, efficient service, and a comfortable atmosphere. read more

Yelper's never let me down, so thank you once again! Visiting my son and daughter in law in Granite Falls and we wanted to take them out for a steak dinner. So I jumped on Yelp and saw great reviews of the Angus Steak House. So, off we go and from beginning to end everything was great! My son and I both had the big ribeye steak and my wife and daughter in law had the small ribeye. The steaks were all cooked perfectly, the reds potatoes were a nice change from the traditional Idaho potato, and our tea glasses never went empty! I am a fan of The Angus and will be back the next time I am in the Hickory Granite Falls area. read more

Best Ribeye steak in town, hands down. We have tried them all and we hear almost weekly. It's that good. Salads have a great taste with the added Lemon Pepper seasoning. read more

Go here. Seriously! This place beats out any steakhouse I've been to. Forget Longhorn, forget all those chain restaurants...come here. The food was amazing and everyone was so friendly. There was some live music that was an enjoyable volume when I went. If I'm ever in the area again you bet I'll be back. read more

Great food always! Best steaks this side of Mississippi! We try to come with company when they are visiting as often as we can! I love, love the salad! My husband loves the potatoes! Only thing we'd love to see is a variety of veggies or at least a couple of them... green beans or steamed veggies read more

Josh and Haley have kept her father's super steak house going since it began in 1965! Very unique place with live music and the option to bring in your own liquor for on site enjoyment, as well as bottled beer for sale. They hand trim all their steaks and include the trimmings into all their hamburgers!!! Will be a regular! read more

Not greeted when we came in. Staff ignored us, just seemed oblivious to us... we walked out since we could not order or serve ourselves.

The atmosphere is very homie, comfortable and relaxed. Cool decor collected over the years and authentic as it comes. The food is amazing and the staff is great. Met the owner and she was a wonderful individual in her own. Highly recommended for a home cooked meal style dinner. read more

This place seems like a hidden gem that only locals know about. It's was busy even at 4:30 people were waiting in line. Nothing extremely special just good flavored food. Not your typical steakhouse you walk in and go up to the counter and order your food. They have everything from hamburgers, hotdogs, to filet, and ribeyes. The steaks were cooked to perfection. The butter potatoes really hit the spot. The onion rings were crispy. The side salad is just ok they put a pickle on top and it made the whole salad pickley. The place is not well lit it's a bar type atmosphere the chairs aren't meant to be comfy just a place to eat. read more

Grab lunch with my lady Wednesday. Not to busy at 1230 which is about right. Thursday at lunch is crazy. Both got the grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato a little mayo, one fries and one chips. Food came out ( now this place is not a fast food restaurant, so it may take a little longer) . I remember the owner telling a customer because she had gotten impatient if she wanted her food quickly to go down the street to Burger King. It takes time with your food made from scratch. It was a laid back kind of day inside, which is the way we like it because at night it can get a little loud. Always enjoy this place and I know some people don't care too much for it. They think to many locals are here but you will surprised at all the business people that comes here. read more

Angus Steak House is a simple old school.place to grab a steak, a hamburger, maybe a drink or two and have a nice evening out. The food, while good, was not stellar. This should not detract you from going here, but don't think you will experience the best steak that you ever had. The place offered good service and good food. All in all, this would be a cool place to head, too. read more

Awesome place! Very friendly staff...owners were great folks...definitely a good place to sit have some wine and enjoy a good steak...

Amazing food and service. We will definitely be back. We were looking for a place to meet our son for dinner and we're so happy this is where we ended up. Will be our new go to spot when in hickory. read more

Good local steakhouse, if your travels take you this way, stop. Everything simple and low-key, seems like they want to Keep it that way. Get your beer, listen to the band, step up to the counter order your steak sit down enjoy your evening. read more

Angus Steak House - Perfectly cooked ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

We were passing through Hickory and decided to use Yelp for help finding something other than chain restaurants. This place having 5 star reviews made us decide to give it a try. Before I go any further, the only sense I can make of the posted rave reviews is that the owner got 30 of his family /friends to write reviews because we found this place to be a complete dive, nothing close to a 5! We considered getting a ribeye... until the we discovered that they were $33/each! They couldn't tell us the Grade or size of the cut; but, for $33, it had better have been the best cut ever! We asked if they had baked potatoes or healthy sides. "No" was the answer. They seemed particularly put off when we asked questions. But, they have no menus, only a board at the checkout counter that doesn't clearly spell out what exactly the options are. We finally settled decided to settle for a hamburger. They were like $16 each and only offered American (processed) cheese... toppings were limited. So, after waiting 35 minutes for our food, it turns out that the buns were stale, the onion rings were burnt to a crisp and the fries while lukewarm, were of the generic frozen variety. Frustrated, I tossed the rings and returned the fries, reporting them as ill-prepared. The gal at the counter apologized for the long delay, stating that "they had to change the fry/onion ring grease" as the reason for the long delay. REALLY?!? So, what was our food cold??? Didn't make sense. I asked for chips as a replacement because we didn't want to wait around for another half-hour. She said "sure" then began to add chips to our bill. After I protested, she brought me about 8 potato chips in exchange for the burnt onion rings and cold fries. Within about 1/2 hour of eating at this establishment, I had the worst case of indigestion I have ever had in my entire life! I had to pull over to get some antacids to quell the pain and discomfort. Fair warning to anyone venturing off the beaten path... Do not stop here unless you have a ton of time to kill and if you have an iron stomach. BTW, I typically don't review the management (owner in this case) but this guy was unpleasant and aloof--even possibly bothered by our presence. IDK, maybe he didn't appreciate that my wife giggled while pointing to his "Trump 2024" sign.... read more

Food used to be pretty good, but not so much now. I ate there last night and had the rueben with onion rings. There was hardly any meat on the sandwich and the 5 small onion rings that came with it were thrown on my plate and had no onions inside them. Weird. Just rock hard, nearly burnt breading. What a shame. read more

Omg I haven't been in YEARS and it was still fantastic. Took 2 first timers and it was a HIT !!! One from Charleston. One from Morganton. One from Iceland... everyone loved it!!! We played pool. There was live music. The salad was fresh and crisp and tasty. The meal was HOT n delicious and the tea was sweet n smooth. $2 PBRs are fun too!!! Can't wait to go back!!!! read more

This place is phenomenal, and honestly blew our mind. The food was great steaks were cooked to perfection, sides were good and fresh, and the mozzarella sticks are the best we've had in a restaurant. The service was great we came through when it wasn't too busy and the owners came out and chatted with us. If you get a chance to ask about the history behind this place you will not be disappointed. Also beware if your from South Carolina if they ask what you call tator wedges, the correct answer is "jojo's" read more

Great place for family dinner reasonable prices great service and Carlos was very helpful and not long wait over all a great place to eat

It was ok very busy. They got our order wrong. The food was ok. Prices were$$$. Very small restaurant. Ordering and getting order was messed up. Very dark inside not a lot of lights at all. I probably will not go back. read more

Love this place the food is delicious, the service is great, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The Ribeye is so flavorful and the red potatoes are perfect. They also have a great beer selection but the sweet tea is the best around. read more

I have been eating here since R B had hair (1975). Best Steak Hands Down!!! Great atmosphere and great people. Never had a bad experience or bad food in all those years.

Angus Steak House - Large Ribeye, Red Potatoes and Salad. - Steakhouses Near Me - Hickory, North Carolina

You can never go wrong here the cheeseburger and onion rings are fantastic . Now if you want a steak I recommend their ribeye either with fries or side items and salad.. you may have to wait but its worth it,great staff that is friendly as well read more

We get the cheeseburgers and they are awesome! Juicy with your choice of toppings (I usually get lettuce and tomatoes with mayo). You can get chips or fries with it. Often we will get a chefs salad and cheesebuger and split it. The salad is a serving and a half filled with crispy veggies and full of chopped deli meat and cheeses. They also have awesome blu cheese dressing that is the main reason for ordering a salad. read more

Great food. Good friendly service. Live music. Bar. Low light for a relaxed atmosphere.

This was a wonderful surprise. Atmosphere is quaint and very clean. The people are friendly and welcoming. The burgers were outstanding. We will definitely return. read more

Been going to the Angus since the early seventies . Best steaks and burgers in town. I love to just go set and listen to live music and have a few cold beers and grab a steak. read more

Simply delicious! We will be back as our son goes to LRU. Beer/wine but you can byob for a small set up fee! Friendly service and nice music! read more

It ain't fancy but you won't be disappointed. When stuck in chain restaurant hell it's a welcome addition to hit a mom & pop that still makes things from scratch. Real salad, real bread, real steak. Get the large ribeye, hand cut fresh daily; full of flavor you won't leave anything behind. read more

My husband and I have eaten here several times now and had a great experience every time. One of the best places in town for a burger, if not the very best. We haven't gotten to try their steaks yet, however some of the other guests have strongly recommended their steaks as well, so we plan to try it sometime too. Last night they had live music playing, which I greatly enjoyed as well. The decor is nice and friendly and the place is quite clean too. (The food looks so delicious when it comes out, I completely forget to take pictures but I'll add those when we go next time!) I highly recommend this place to others! read more

We chose this place solely on the reviews of yelp. I wasn't disappointed, but I guess I was expecting something different. It is definitely a mom-and-pop restaurant. You go to the counter order what you want to go sit down and They bring it to you. I got the large ribeye. No real complaints but not really over the top. Would I come back? yes, but I would not go out of my way. Service was super friendly and very fast and efficient. But to be honest I wanted and was expecting a nice sitdown restaurant in which I can order an appetizer and enjoyed a quiet conversation. Basically, nice place, good food, just not what I was expecting read more

First time here everything was great and so reasonably priced! We will definitely be coming back here!!!! I had chicken he had the large ribeye.... all I can say is yumm!!! read more

Delicious! Fresh meat, great burgers and steaks, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Will be back ASAP
