"I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?"
So sayeth the teenage movie, and so it is with Black Angus. Thoroughly and utterly whelming..
Let me start by saying the only truly aggravating thing was that they were out of 2 different kinds of red wine and there were maybe 4 glass choices to begin with. After the next one wasn't available by the glass I just kind of gave up and let my husband pick.
My husband had the Prime Rib, Garlic Mash and Broccoli. I had the Bacon Blue Butter Ribeye, Loaded Baked Potato and Caesar Salad. We split the Crispy Garlic-Pepper Zucchini things and White Chocolate Cheesecake. At the risk of being redundant, if I don't specify something it was adequate.
The Prime Rib 12 oz. had no crust on it. Zero. So it was basically a hunk o' roasted meat. The Garlic Mashed was not garlicky and texture was way off.
The Ribeye was thin. Like IHOP steak thin.
The two stars is mostly because the price implies that something will be really good. And nothing was. For $100 (our meal plus tip) you get better quality, service and value at Outback, Yard House, etc.
Thanks Black Angus! I now know what it is to be whelmed.
