Barbarie’s Black Angus Grill is family-owned and has been operated by Tom Barbarie since June 2012. His hands-on attention to detail brings area diners the finest in steak and seafood.

Barbarie’s Black Angus Grill is not a corporate steakhouse. At any given time, customers can find the owner present and overseeing every aspect of the business, from the 30-day dry-aging process of the meat, in house, to giving a welcoming handshake as customers walk in the door. With its extensive lunch, brunch, and dinner menu, as well as a pub menu and daily specials, Barbarie’s Black Angus Grill is priced to suit any budget and satisfy any appetite.

Couples, families, business people, and travelers find their way to Barbarie’s Black Angus Grill, where customer satisfaction has been the owner’s goal since opening the restaurant’s doors. Local diners know they can pop in after a movie and grab a light bite, such as sliders or a sandwich from the pub menu.

Sunday “Brunchers” come for the best brunch in town, from the food to the service to the complimentary cocktails.

The sophisticated ambience is welcoming the minute customers walk in the door. From the beautiful “green” horseshoe bar to the polished booths, glass-enclosed wine rack and adjacent meat locker with soft lighting, the vibe and energy make for a comfortable, stylish atmosphere.

Beyond the dining room is The Board Room, available for any special occasion, including rehearsal dinners, corporate functions, showers, weddings, graduations, and holiday parties. The Board Room accommodates up to 65 guests, with menus customized and personalized for each occasion. There is also a covered outdoor patio during the warmer months.

Once the guests are seated, they are in the care of well-trained servers. It is a personalized level of service that sets Barbarie’s Black Angus apart from other restaurants, noting, “An incredible experience is priority number one.”

Black Angus Grill also offers “Angus Anywhere” delivery service, ideal for office business and party events; minimum $100 order for delivery/set up.

A Sample Of The Menu

Appetizers: More than a dozen appetizers, including Thai fried calamari with scallions, cilantro, and sweet chili glaze; the grass-fed veal, pork, and beef meatball trio in tomato sauce; a bucket of wings in BBQ, buffalo, sweet chili, or Thai sauce; and the half rack BBQ ribs with homemade BBQ sauce, arugula salad, and fries. Guests can also enjoy the Raw Bar for oysters, clams, or jumbo shrimp cocktail.

Sandwiches and Burgers: More than 20 wraps, sandwiches, and burgers to choose from. Try the sizzling chicken or beef fajitas or the classic Angus 9-ounce cheeseburger with the works: slow-cooked onions, chipotle mayo, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.
