  Average in every way. I finally learned to give up on my expectations of a place. I know that in order to find an above average restaurant, one must look long and hard, be prepared to drive, wait a respectable amount of time, and most likely spend serious money. The better the place, chances are the more they will charge. After all, this is America, the land of the free, where good food cost a pretty penny.Enter Black Angus Steakhouse in Temecula, CA. This is a franchise where you immediately realize its whole business idea is to feed average food, which now that I am wiser and demand much less, is a lot better than terrible food by a long mile. Black Angus is supposedly a prized type of cattle that delivers very nice cuts of beef to the table, just as long as they have the preparation technique down to science.We arrived at 6:30 PM on a Saturday, and were cordially greeted with the nice gesture of opening the door for us. Place was at 40% capacity, which should have been a warning light, for compared with BJ’s Chicago Pizzeria down the street that was packed with people, plus is 3 times the size, Black Angus looked subdued to its own slow pace faith on a Saturday evening.Big Mama, and myself were seated in a very small table for two. Amy became out server, and she had this singsong tone to her voice that at first I thought would get to my nerves, but her dedication and constant desire to please us turned the tide in no time. We ordered:Campfire Feast, Dinner for 2, with a coupon sold for $41 ($20.50 per person), regular price otherwise around $58?, nice savings, did not even showed the magazine with the coupon, we just mentioned the deal, and voila! Choices selected:Chicken Tender Appetizer with Blue Cheese and a lightly sweet mustard dressing, on the menu it said this one cost $9.50. 6 large but not over so, Chicken Tenders, super fried and crunchy, a little on the chewy side, but was finished with zero problems, mostly by me. 3.5 Stars.Her: 12 oz Prime Rib, medium rare, the two sides were: Garlic Mashed Potatos, Wild Rice. Meat was chewy but edible, nothing to fall off the chair for, potatos a little dried but flavor was good, wild rice fresh and not sticking together. Overall she said 4 Stars.I chose a 10 oz Top Sirloin, with a Caesars Salad that required extra dressing for my taste, with typical makings, fresh and tasty, and a Fully Loaded Baked Potato. The steak has some sections that basically was nerve, and plenty of fat that was discarded, the texture a little hard on the chewing department, but with that flavor and seasoning that validates its existence. 3.5 Stars.The bread that arrived complimentary, their Molasses Bread with Sesame Seed on the crust, seems to have waited a little too long, but the microwave or whatever method they use to heat it, made it disappear in record time, the butter below par, who knows what grade but certainly not as good as the better ones. Either way, perfect or not, it was eaten in record time, mostly by me. Cheese Cake with Strawberry Topping was the last, but not least, offering of this bargain meal. The cheese cake not unlike the many cheese cake found just about in every corner. 3.5 Stars.Water, our choice of drink, tasted borderline between average and below. Probably right out of the faucet no questions asked. Service got better and better, and was rewarded with that in mind. Black Angus Steakhouse is average anyway you spin it, but the new me says, what is so wrong with average that with a nice discount, a couple can not enjoy? We have had better steaks, Black Angus cows are just … beef, nothing to delight, but then again, edible after discarding the parts that don’t work. 3.5 Stars.
