Savor a restaurant that serves 22,000 steaks a month

One of the best things to do when visiting North Carolina is to eat where the locals eat. Visitors will find thousands of unique restaurants across the state including a big, red barn that serves 22,000 steaks each month. The Angus Barn is a Raleigh landmark that has been serving luxurious meals in a casual environment for more than 50 years. One of the nation’s 50 highest-grossing independent restaurants, the Angus Barn consistently ranked as one of the 100 best restaurants and is known for its hospitality, impeccable quality, excellent value and its rustic Americana ambience. The restaurant’s wine cellar kitchen bustles with reserved dinner parties, special events and a teaching kitchen. The Angus Barn has won more than 200 awards, including Restaurants and Institutions’ prestigious Ivy Award, the Distinguished Restaurants of North America Award, 20 Wine Spectator Grand Awards and the Fine Dining Hall of Fame Award. Angus Barn Executive Chef Walter Royal has won the Restaurant Guild International Five Star Chef of the Year and triumphed in his appearance on Food Network’s Iron Chef America television show. Known as a “Beefeaters Haven,” the Angus Barn serves the best western beef available, aged inside the restaurant’s own facility, but also features poultry, seafood, pasta and other dishes to meet the dietary demands of all guests.
