Summary:
While the sign does say Steaks and Pasta, and they have a ten gallon hat for their logo, the name Angelos and the word 'pasta', does conjure up images of great Italian food. The Italian food here is only great, if you think Chef Boy Ardee is great. Having spent many years in a region of New York dominated by Italians, and the widest array of Italian restaurants I have ever seen, and tried in my life, I was really expecting great things from Angelos. They have huge billboards plastered all over the area raving about their Italian buffet. So, naturally, I was expecting a wide range of Italian dishes, prepared to perfection. That was not the case.
It was the smallest buffet I have ever seen, with seven items including green beans, corn, spaghetti, tortellini Alfredo, lasagna, pizza, and ravioli.The high point of the meal was the green beans. The lasagna was the worst I have ever seen. It was one layer, and we watched as the kitchen staff brought the freshly prepared dish to the buffet. It had one layer of noodles on the top, still shiny and wet, obviously never seeing an oven, or they would have been dry.
A woman behind he counter spoons spaghetti sauce from the buffet dish next to the spaghetti, over the top noodle, and then begins to serve the person in line ahead of me. There were no layers of meat, cheese and noodles. Just a pile of cheese between two noodles.The pile was cold, not even warm. The tortellini Alfredo was pasty and tasteless, I passed on the ravioli, the sauce was as plain looking as Campbell's tomato soup. I was disgusted. Kim had the Ravioli, and confirmed it was horrible.
The plates for the buffet are oval entree plates, they are not meant for full meals and given the buffet is an extension of the kitchen, hidden from view, down around a corner, making numerous trips was not on my agenda. I like a plate that is large enough I can make one trip and be done with it. The only way you could do that, even with a small appetite would be to pile things up on the plate. Yuk. I had one small serving of this horrible food, and called it quits.
Jumping up and down to go the buffet is not easy if you sit in a booth. The booths are very poorly designed, with the table top so close to the seats, it would only be proportionate for a five foot tall adult. This means the average adult has to bend way over to get their face close enough to the plate, that the food will not end up down their shirt.
The table top hit me below the belly button, nowhere near the industry standard. There is a large lip on the edge of the seat, that prevents sliding out of the seat. Given how little room there is between the table top and the seat, lifting up to get over that lip is tough, unless you are a kid. I received a three inch bruise on my leg trying to get over it, to get out.
We got a nice salad, and rolls,We paid $11.99 for the buffet slop, and on top of that had the worst waiter in the house. We watched fabulous steaks go by, held high and proud by another waiter, Franco, but we soon found out we were not going to be nearly as happy with our spaced out waiter.
The waiter couldn't remember anything, including filling up the water glass, bringing more rolls, bringing the check, and once we went to the front to chase down the check, and he brought it there, he couldn't remember we were at the front, to bring the receipt. I had a feeling things were going to go south from the start when the waiter announced as we were seated, that steaks were their specialty. An Italian restaurant where steaks are the specialty? What is wrong with this picture? Everything. All of the Italian dishes on the menu were very high priced, given the low quality of the food.
If you are in the mood for pricey steaks, you might try it, only if you sit in Franco's section. Otherwise, avoid it.
