We had such a good experience at Black Angus Steakhouse! They just recently reopened, and you can really tell they've made a lot of wonderful changes. One of my favorite things was the beautiful display of fresh steaks--you can actually see the quality and selection before you order. They also brightened up the place. Lights are raised so not so dim... love that! We also had the pleasure of meeting the manager, Kristy, who has been at this location for 12 years. Her experience and dedication really show, and it was so nice to see a manager who genuinely cares about the restaurant and its guests. Super friendly!! Food was fantastic! The teriyaki sauce is absolutely amazing, and the fried zucchini was chiefs kiss incredible--definitely a must-try! Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly, worth the wait. My margarita was delicious Kristy *wink wink It's wonderful to see Black Angus reopened and making such positive changes. read more

We were a party of 5 today on Father's Day 2026. We ordered 2 campfire feast for 2 and then one of the individual one. We made a reservation on Open Table for 7 PM. We were sat around 7:15... the wait staff was visibly overworked considering there wasn't more than 2 parties waiting for tables and about 90% of the restaurant full. Staff was arguing, food was coming out with longer than normal wait times... and that's just observation before we got sat. Should've used that as an indicator as to what was coming up. We got seated, we finally ordered and it took an hour to get our food (main dishes) all the tables that were within earshot all complained to staff and the same answer was given: the kitchen is backed up and to please be patient. When we got our meals, my finances steak was well well done (grey on the inside) and he asked for medium well I asked for a rib eye medium and I accidentally touched it and noticed it was room temp at best. I thought it was because they are so backed up so I proceeded to cut into my steak and to my surprise it wasn't even medium rare. It was worse. I asked the waitress to please ask the kitchen to make a new one since now my mashed potatoes were also cold and if they could just plate it to go. When she brought it out, it was the same steak I sent back cooked to well done because there was no pink at all and the outside looked like a flame thrower charred the whole thing. Completely inedible and very disappointing. The manager did not come to the table, not one refill was offered considering our Pepsi's were clearly watered down after having ONE soda for almost 2 hours. Overall it was an awful experience and at almost $300 it was 100% not worth it. read more

Black Angus Steakhouse - Not medium... - Steakhouses Near Me - Ventura, California

Terrible service, terrible food. Came here on Sunday around 1pm and left around 2:45pm. Walked in and had to wait 7-minutes for the host to show up. Finally seated and the waitress was the bartender. Took our drink order and disappeared for 10-minutes. Came back and the kids drink was a regular adult drink. Took it back and out came our Caesar salad's that was way over dressed and the lettuce was cut huge, but no kids drink.My wife and I made a bet which was going to arrive first: appetizer or food. 15-minutes later, our wagon wheel appetizer arrived. Zucchini was greasy, chicken strips were chewy, potato skins were cold. We ordered a kids sirloin and French fries, sirloin was tough. Salmon was way over cooked and looked burned. Rib eye was cooked medium, but was cold and fatty. Waitress took forever to bring our bill and desert. The sad part is that they were not that busy. Staff was mostly just standing around gabbing. Luckily, we looked the one near our house which is far away from this terrible place. Oh, and don't forget about the 3% feet for using your credit card that they don't tell you about. read more

I was craving a French dip, and honestly this is one of the best French dips in town hands down. Super tender, bread was fresh and au jus made it even better. Bartender was super friendly and helped me right away. Haven't been here since the remodel and it's very nice inside. read more

Went here for lunch with my mom today. It was an ok experience. I think they were down staff because it took forever to get our food but I don't blame them for that. They were very nice and as quick as they can be. The food was all delicious and correct! I loved the beef dipped sandwich it was so flavorful and tender read more

The western style ranch house ambiance and the outstanding service make for an amazing dining experience. The menu has a lot to choose from. The baked potatoes are the best in town and the Campfire Feast For 2 (or more) makes it really easy to personalize a hearty meal. Top quality steaks and seafood cooked to perfection just the way you like. To celebrate an occasion or for a holiday meal or just because you feel like eating out Black Angus is the best place around. read more

We came back to celebrate Father's Day in Ventura, and once again had a wonderful experience. The food was just as delicious as we remembered, and the consistency keeps us coming back. Our server, Ava, provided outstanding service and helped make the day extra special for my husband. Having the FIFA games on every TV created the perfect atmosphere for a Father's Day celebration. Great food, great service, and a fantastic ambiance--we'll definitely be back! read more

Black Angus Steakhouse - Family - Steakhouses Near Me - Ventura, California

We love this place and it is honestly so underrated... my daughter and I got the campfire deal and our steaks were cooked exactly how we ordered (10/10 get the blue cheese and mushroom topping!!)and the baked potato was soo good! With that said the service is great considering they were visibly understaffed which seems more like a corporate issue but our server still was super nice and attentive. We will be back for sure. read more

I was generously given a Black Angus gift card for Christmas, and I had absolutely no idea there was one nearby. It's in the same large parking lot as the Burlington Coat Factory and the Dollar store, and it's on the other end from the Chick-fil-A. There's plenty of parking. I've never tried the restaurant before. So I was looking forward to trying the place for the first time. First of all, I made reservations to be seated, but there was no need for reservations as half the restaurant was empty. We were seated pretty immediately, given menus, and our server came by within 5 minutes to ask what we'd like to drink. We both ordered waters, and my husband also ordered an old-fashioned. Five minutes passed, and our server stopped by to let us know our drinks would be out soon. It took another 10 minutes for the old-fashioned to come out, which came out first. And then finally, the waters came out a couple of minutes after. The server also left us bread, which was probably one of the better parts of the entire meal. And for an appetizer, we ordered the jumbo shrimp, which was okay. We then placed our entree orders: steak with Mac n cheese and broccoli, and rib eye with fries and green beans. Luckily, the food came out pretty quickly. Both the steak and rib eye tasted bland, and it seemed that no amount of salt I sprinkled on them could make them any better. The Mac N cheese was hands down the worst Mac N cheese I've ever tasted - and I absolutely love Mac N cheese. I would've preferred Kraft Mac N Cheese in a box, just to let you know how unremarkable their Mac N Cheese tasted. For me, somehow, the most delicious food was the over-salted green beans and warm broccoli. It then took a while to flag down our server to get the check. I wish I could say something stood out about the restaurant, but the food was pretty bland, and the service was mediocre. This place is also excellent for large groups and families looking to dine, but remember to be patient and set your expectations for being served mediocre food at best. read more

Tried out their brunch menu on a Sunday & it was so tasty! Had the beef dip and fries at $19.99, very filling and just delicious. The servers were excellent, very friendly, very attentive but not overly so. The hostess was welcoming from the moment we arrived and even made a point of saying goodbye and thanked us for coming, it was a nice touch, I liked it. read more

Okay now!!! That's how you recover!! Grrat job Savanah for training Gaby. We didn't even realize she was in training because she was so amazingto begin with! Thank you Ben, and Chris, thank you for sticking with the restaurant and giving great service. The Re-opening was brutal and tough, but GOOD staff makes good restaurants and that's what people, and locals are looking for! Great service, great food (hot and fresh) great drinks, clean and organized. I was pretty hard the first time I reviewed this spot. I knew I had to revisit and give the restaurant and staff a chance to reset, recover, and redeliver. Well Bravo well done Black Angus. We will definitely be back for more great everything!!! read more

Visited Black Angus for my wife's birthday after a year of them being closed, and I'm happy to say it delivered on every front. Food, service, renovations, and management all great. Sunday at 7pm, we were quickly sat at a booth for 4. Cain, the manager, greeted us as we walked and wished my wife a happy birthday. A minute later, we were greeted by Helen who brought us water, bread, and got us going with a Strawberry Cadillac Margarita and a Jalapeño Margarita. We all indulged with a Shrimp Cocktail, Buffalo and honey sriracha chicken tenders, house salads, Chicken Avocado Bacon Sandwich, Ribeye, New York, and a Top Sirloin. Every dish was excellent, with the steaks cooked to a proper Med Rare (3 for 3). The tenders were a table favorite and taste like fresh breading. Another highlight was the other manager, Kristy, swinging by our table to greet us and also congratulating my wife on her birthday. She even went to grab us ranches, give us some future recommendations, and bring another round of bread. Helen our server was kind and accommodated each special food request (all 10+ of them lol). The night ended with a surprise cowboy cookie, with a candle and sprinkles for the special occasion. Cain came by the table at the end of the meal one more time to thank us for dining in. Overall an excellent dining experience highlighted by great welcoming service from Helen, Cain, and Kristy. Other restaurants should take notes from Black Angus because Management, when they're welcoming and engaging, can truly elevate a dining experience especially during special occasions. Thank you Black Angus, happy you guys are back! read more

Black Angus Steakhouse - Ribeye w/mushroom topper, chicken tenders, shrimp cocktail, CAB sandwich - Steakhouses Near Me - Ventura, California

***warning *** Food was good. Normal steak house. No problem there. The issue is the illegal service fee applied to debit card transactions. They will tell you it is on our menu that a fee up to 3% will be applied to card transactions. Menu specifically says credit card. By law it does not apply to debit cards. California's civil code section 1748.1 explicitly states that merchants cannot impose a surcharge on consumers who choose to use card instead of cash. California, state guidelines and federal law maintain that debit cards are entirely exempt from surcharges. read more

So excited to have Black Angus back in Ventura! We went the first week from reopen on a Thursday night (11-20), after making a reservation online. I am giving them a pass because I know they had been closed for so long and maybe the servers are rusty. I've heard another server was pretty new so it would explain some of the delays but my server in particular had said she had been working prior to the shut down and was on a maternity leave so it was really slow getting service. Never received our complimentary bread. We decided on the classic Campfire Feast. I had ordered our steak medium well but got it well done so it was a little tough to cut. Mom got the full rack of ribs which she raved were tender so glad she was pleased. We ordered two different margaritas and one came too strong so we asked for more of the margarita mix, but it took 15 minutes to get that and by then, the ice in our margarita was melting. I had to ask for things several times before it finally came which was unfortunate, even for our check! Also, if I hadn't reminded our server about our dessert that was included with our feast, she would have missed it. I'm hearing hits and misses when it comes to service when it being back open so maybe everyone just needs to get their bearings. I will be returning just because we really missed Black Angus! The place still looks the same. Some touchuos but still the good ol reliable BA. read more

Nothing good to say about my experience to BA this week. Service was beyond poor and food was not good. Met up with some family just before 6. As it was still happy hour for a few moments, I stopped by the bar and was left ungreeted by the bartender for about 5 minutes (it wasn't even busy and he crossed past me at least a dozen times). A HH drink menu would have been a good start. Finally he asked what I needed and I ordered two happy hour drinks (one for me and another in my party). He stated that he couldn't serve me two, and that I should just order from my waitress. Long story short here... I ordered through waitress, got my drinks about 15 minutes later, and got hit with non-happy hour pricing. I kinda saw that coming. Okay for table experience. Dirty silverware, no bread offered to the table, and overall the staff was SLOW. We didn't get out of there until about 8:30pm. This was just 4 of us going for a 6pm dinner. To the food. It wasn't good. Ribeye was overcooked and cold. One person at our table ordered prime rib. About 40 minutes after ordering, the server came back stating they were out of prime rib. Odd it took so long to realize this, but order changed. 10 minutes later, the manager comes and states they are out of prime rib. We already knew. 5 minutes later later, the kitchen staff comes to let us know the same. I'm not going to even waste my time getting more into detail. It just was a complete waste of time and money. From the initial lack of service from the guy behind the bar, to the server who seemed to lack guest empathy with respect to their short comings, to the slowness overall, and sub-par product....i HIGHYLY doubt I'll return. Black angus Ventura really dropped the ball. There may have been opportunity at this place, but based on my visit, I highly doubt this place will survive in its current state. They need a complete turnover on management bc it was clear that skill and experience was lacking. Restrooms were also unkempt. Trash overflowing on a slow day. read more

Well, I written a review about this Restaurant, and I thought I would give another update. I now eat here 2-3 times a week. Once again the food is fabulous, great cuts of meat and the staff is always going above and beyond for us!. Christy, Kane, Matt, and Juan always take good care of us and always go out of there way to make our visit a special one! Happy hour Drinks can't be beat, quality or price! I recommend Black Angus constantly! read more

We met for lunch on Sunday April 12. We ordered 4 iced teas and they were so light it was like drinking water. They told us we could NOT order from the lunch menu. Just Brunch or dinner at noon on a Sunday. French Dip came out looking like shoe leather, it was old, dry and disgusting. Sent back immediately. The burgers were meh, and we had to eat after everyone was done because our food had to be remade. I like this place and want it to do well, but they need to be conscious of quality food and competent service. read more

Food was good loved the pineapple upside-down cheesecake recommended by server Chris.

We have visited a wide range of steakhouses over the years and the Black Angus Steakhouse in Ventura is one of the best that we've been to. The steaks we had recently were very good and the most flavorful that we've had for quite a long time. Our server (Christiana M) was helpful, quite personable, and added a lot to the very pleasant experience. We will be back again when we have occassion to pass back through Ventura. read more

Had birthday dinner at the Black Angus on Telephone. It had been a long time since I had eaten there, roughly 15 years. Service was excellent, the shrimp cocktail was to die for, my strawberry marguerita was lacking in flavor. I ordered New York Strip steak with baked potato and grilled asparagus. The steak was flavorless, no seasoning. It also had a lot of chewy fat which I did not care for. The asparagus was very woody, could only eat the tips. Baked potato was delicious, can't ruin a baked potato. I ordered cream brulee, but could not eat it because the staff gave me a complimentary cookie and ice cream, which was so nice of them to do. I finished the cream brulee the next day, and it was so delicious. I will positively go back to try other items on their menu. read more

April 17th, 2026. My wife and I came to Black Angus tonight for dinner, she had the salmon and I had the prime rib. Everything was delicious and the service by Chris our waitress was top notch. I can't say enough on her customer service, and the manager was awesome too. This will again be one of our favorite places to go from now on. After the remodel they have really stepped up their game. Thank you for making us feel special! read more

First time I had been back since they re-modeled. Nothing has changed. Same look, same feel, same smell. Restaurant seemed dirty, the white wood walls had dirt and smudge marks on them, the carpet seemed dirty. I ordered the NY steak, big disappointment. Steak was really thin, grisly, and no flavor whatsoever. Sizzler was better than this. Au gratin potatoes were good, but a small portion. House salad was what I expected. Service was... ok... I won't be back. read more

Excellent lunch menu! So cute - why is nobody here? Had the top sirloin - rare - and it was ACTUALLY cooked to temperature!!! Rare fine in Ventura lol nobody wants to cook it correctly! Server Haley was fantastic and very attentive. Will com back to try out dinner service. Only gave 4 - every alcohol beverage was wrong but interesting variation in the original. read more

Went in at a nonpeak time on a Sunday. (About 2 pm) The wait for a table was going to be 15-20 minutes. Went to the bar while waiting for table and proceeded to wait another 10 minutes before being acknowledged. When we were finally seated at a table, the waitress took a long time to come take our order. I'm not sure if the server had too many tables to serve or if she was just slow. She was super nice though. The food was good. read more

OMG! We've been longtime Black Angus regulars and were so sad when the Ventura location closed. Yesterday, we were in Northridge and decided to stop by for dinner and to our surprise, we saw Kristy, our favorite manager from Ventura! She immediately recognized us, and it honestly made our night especially since it was our daughter's birthday. Kristy went out of her way to make it special, and it meant a lot to us. She has always treated our family with kindness and made every visit feel warm and welcoming. Dinner was excellent as always great food, great service, and a nostalgic vibe. We can't wait for the Ventura location to reopen and to have Kristy back! read more

Food was absolutely amazing and so was service. The hostess ladies were very nice and our server Trinity was the absolute best.
