- VVeraLos Angeles •12 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoDecent food...extensive menu offerings. Had the prime rib, came as ordered medium rare...horseradish didn't have any kick to it...could have been stronger. Au jus was OK but too salty. Bread was great, seems similar to cheesecake factory bread, served warm. The steak soup was really flavorful. They have great promo deals all the time so can afford to eat there more often. Service has always been consistently friendly and attentive.More infoBlack Angus Steakhouse - TorrancePrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Torrance / Carson•4.4
