You're brave for trying this place out. The first and last time-in fact my only time-to the same place, was back in 1991 when it was The Aberdeen Steakhouse!! Went in there with friends for a pre-theatre dinner. About 10 years later there was a programme on the telly showing off the kitchens of these places-rat and mouse droppings everywhere🤢. The Slug and Lettuce nearby is a bit cleaner but their steaks aren't that great either. Glad you're feeling a bit better 👍

Okay London prices aside - I am a catering butcher in leeds, and i sell to restaurants and hotels (better places than that shithole) and rarely would you find an 8oz fillet steak for less than what you paid there. They would, however, have much more flavour, and be cooked better. Those fillets of beef you ate are almost certainly imported from Brazil or Venezuela. That's not what made you ill, what made you ill was them using beef past its best.

The prawn cocktail is the most likely suspect for your illness in my opinion. Seafood is notorious for food poisoning.

Hope you're feeling better now, Lee. Those fries and onion rings looked pre-frozen and dumped in the frier as required.

As a Chef at the 5* level, sorry to hear you were sick first of all. In my opinion the sickness could either be the Prawn Cocktail or the peppercorn sauce as it contains dairy products. With the steak itself very unlikely as the bacteria tends to be on the outside. And both the chips and sad onion rings are deep fried so again unlikely. From looking at the fillet when you cut into it, it did look dry so maybe a " reheated " steak ???. Anyway a place I would never go to .

That's got to be one of the most lack luster meals I've seen 😂

Being sick in under 2 hours after eating strongly suggests to me Staohylococcus aureus thermostable enterotoxin. It was the pepper sauce that did for you (in my opinion). (Medical Microbiologist). I bet it was reheated from a batch made yesterday.

This fella is a legend . He has a cool sense of humour and is honest in all his reviews. I hope his channel keeps doing very well and look forward to more content from him . Best of luck from Dublin bro.

Straight out the freezer that Fillet, it looked a very old piece of meat, no meat juices flowing from it. Chips and onion rings, frozen. Not a good experience for you. Good Vlog again thank you 👏👍🍺

I thought for that price, you would have got, mushrooms, garden peas+grilled 🍅. Hate being ripped off 😡😂. Anyway take care 👍. Will look forward to the next one, that's iff you are still alive 🙏🤞😜

£40 for a lump of tasteless meat, chips, onion rings and a beer, excluding the tip? Enough to feed a family of 4 from my local chippie with change.

A MENU CARD WITH PICTURES FROM THE MEAL GIVES ME A MACDONALD FEELING.

Glad I came upon your channel, watching them all now, from Scotland so liked the fish and big brekie ones. A while ago I discovered the art of cooking steak and have never looked back. Used to overcook it as seen here but getting it right is key even if it has a bit of blood. Anyway keep going and look forward to other ones.

Hahaha that garnish made me chuckle. Are you sure the wind didn't just blow it onto your plate?

I ate here years ago before I knew it was a tourist trap. Most UK residents know not to eat there. Even though Miller and Carter are a glorified Harvester, they are miles better than the Angus Steakhouse.

The MacMaster - I hope your feeling a bit better now ! I had some great fish and chips at the Anchor Inn , Seatown yesterday evening . With best wishes from Dorset

The steak can't be the issue, but you said you ate prawns earlier in the day, if I ever felt sick and looked back what I ate and got to prawns, that's the culprit!!!? In fact last time I got food poisoning It was after a Chinese, special egg foo young 🤮🤮🤮🤮

To be honest I’m ‘apprehensive’ that you considered going medium well for a fillet…the fillet is prized for its tenderness, at med well it’s not going to be tender. It has no fat present to render and help retain moisture and most fillets are ‘barrel cut’ meaning they are deep and narrow. Therefore to get med - med/well takes a good while on the grill too. I think you should try med rare next time and ask the chef to give it a ‘heavy rest’ so that juices don’t run. Or if you like med - med/well go with a ribeye!

Hi lee glad you waited for the bill to arrive before you marked it, my score would have been 3 before and 1 after it came, stay safe.

Sounds like you could have had a dodgy prawn. Hope you’re feeling better Lee.

So Lee as a chef I went under a lot of training for food hygiene and poisoning.if it was the prawns you would have been ill within a short period of time depending if they were on the turn, poorly refrigerated and badly stored. Now the steak meal was a low hazard meal. My bet is on the prawns being incorrectly stored. Your bad stomach started after steak meal but you didn't get violently ill till later in the night. Basically the shit steak meal didn't sit well on top of bad prawns mate. You are now better off not eating much clear yourself out and then only eat a light meal to give your stomach time to heal. Best of luck. Please let me know how you are ok

Once walked by one of those places - the bulb had gone in the 'G' in its sign - you've never seen an electrician move that fast..

Chips look like they are from the cheapest frozen bag of chips you can buy

Was in Joseph Else in Nottingham today and watching you do your review.......You had so much time for the man next to you with his daughter!!!!!! Your a credit to you tube and all round nice bloke......All the best!!!!!

The whole thing looked iffy Lee! Hope you are feeling better. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx

I have passed this place a couple times when I've visited London, contemplated eating there, looks so nice from the outside! Nope, looks like I've had a lucky escape!

Braver man than me. Anyone who lives or works in London avoids the Angus Steakhouses because they’re expensive tourist trash. Poor quality, badly cooked and overpriced.

Loved the video Lee,having an early night watching from my comfy bed 😊really looking forward to your adventures in Oz ❤

"Beginning to question whether I got Covid" what a line!! 😄 🤣 😂 Just subscribed! Great work!

If you buy a steak in Australia it automatically comes with either chips or salad or both, you don't have to pay extra for that. that is a rip off, did they charge you for the use of a knife and fork as well.

Fillet steak shouldn't be chewy at all it should melt in the mouth and fall apart. Sounds like you got a pre frozen rump

Lol, I’ve eaten there in the past when it was the Aberdeen steakhouse. The steak you ate probably dated back to 1968 when it was established. Great content as always and yipppeeeee. The states have reopened, we will now get some amazing restaurant reviews. I’m off to California over Xmas. Enjoy your trip my friend.

Another good video from the MacMaster and also earlier on from Darren John, what a treat keep up the good videos Lee, Take it easy and you and the family keep safe my friend,

That steak looked as dry as camel's flip flop . That Stella would have been necked rapid to keep my taste buds refreshed. Great review mate, keep em coming.

Once went to a pizza hut in Central London. Not long after leaving i felt like i was dying and was sick in the cab .My mum paid the driver for the inconvenience. I was only young at the time. Not long after visiting i read about that restaurant i had been in and there was mention of hygiene issues such as rat droppings. Put me off pizza for a good while. I have been back in pizza hut since but not that same restaurant. The hygiene rating is only as good as the day the place is inspected and ratings don't have to be placed on the door in England. You will always take a risk when you eat out.

Sorry to hear of your upset tum hope you feel better hope to go to Tenerife in January might see you.👍😎👍😎👍😎

I've passed this place on my trips around London and wondered what it was like so thanks for sharing 👍. There is nothing like a good steak and it seems this was nothing like a good steak ! 😋

Them onion rings looked remarkably like Aunt Bessies frozen onion rings and they are tasteless and the frozen chips £1.29 for 5 kilo's from Farmfoods the fillet steak did it state it was from a cow or perhaps it was from an old Buffalo from the wild west you never know it is london after all

My wife had prawns from M&S she was going to the toilet every 30 mins for 24 hrs will never get them again

Great video as usual, A number of things did you eat any of the watercress "garnish" as watercress is very good for giving you the old Ralph & Huey, Also I was amazed how fast that girl was on her scooter at the start amazing.🤮🤮🤮

love the videos. Thanks for putting your life on the line for our entertainment. God Bless.

Hello, MacMaster Angus Steak House is Still in Existence 🤣🤣🤣 Fries & Onion Rings Pre-Frozen from Iceland 😒 Reason they use No Seasoning is That they Use Frozen Donkey Meat for their Fillet Steaks & Famous Stock Cube MSG Mushroom Flavour Pepper Sauce 🤔😒🥴😢🤢👎

£50 a lb for crap 💩 If you cut into any steak and find that feathery, tearing consistency despite it being medium rare, it’s off a sh17 cheap breed of cow and is dry as a bone and chewy. Your knife should slide through fillet leaving a clean face

Lee you're a real trooper! I used to always go to the 5th Quarter Steak house in Louisville, KY on every visit. Then one time two of the three of us got terribly I'll. Never have returned to that restaurant. I hope all your viewers take note and make the smart decision. Wish you better health soon. Motown Mike

20 minutes is a bit quick for a dodgy belly to develop. As soon as you said you’d had prawns for lunch I thought “oh...” I know which one I’d suspect no matter how poor the steak was.

I am amazed that the chain is still going. I remember it was seen as a bit naff around the late 1990s, as The Evening Standard did a bad review of the franchise at the time. It's especially strange as to how it's still going now, as there's other really good steakhouse chains now(Goodman's and Hawksmoor spring to mind).

Thanks for the heads up about this place, you can't be too careful about seafood though, so don't rule out the prawns especially if they had the sauce on! Hope you are feeling better.👍

How long does it take to get sick from food poisoning? Symptoms begin 30 minutes to 8 hours after exposure

I walk past this every other day and I have never thought I will go in there to eat. I definitely will never eat there after seeing this.

Slug and lettuce haven’t got the best steaks. They also have a drink callled a boobtini🤣😂.But, Miller and Carter is the king we can all agree.

Nice one Lee - 2 reviews for the price of 1 (M&S and Angus)! I'll avoid both! By the way, stayed and ate at the Sizzling Stone, Keswick, - it was off the charts! Jason. Alison and staff were fantastic. Highly recommended Cheers, Tony and Rita.

First time watching mate, quite enjoyed the vlog. Just wondering how they are still open especially with all the bad reviews etc. Seems its been bad for years..

Almost 24 quid for the steak on its own. What a swizz! Nothing looked appetising except the lager. Hope you are feeling better now Lee.

I looked at that steak and I thought AAAAAArrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh. I would have been too ashamed to serve this and I would have thrown it at the chef.

Makes you wonder if it's worth eating at home and going to a Michelin star restaurant a few times a year instead of the mid tier places. Any advice is appreciated👍

Make me laugh 😂 these guys, but you learn a lot from the Mac & Darren on we’re to eat, and not to eat, they make the mistakes for us so we don’t make them and of course they will find you and tell you some of the best places to eat!! Especially in London! Great video Mac!!

It's an embarrassing tourist trap, always has been for decades. I've managed to avoid that restaurant and others in the chain for 50+ years thank heavens!

Seen these steakhouses all over the place. Never once been in one. After watching this, I never will either.

Hi Lucy we arrive on the 6th just want to as is the Volcano having any affect on the benidorm resort another great video thanks see you soon

Thank you for that. I'm so glad I sold up in Canary Wharf in 2003 and moved to France. In comparison I can get a four course meal at my local restaurant... e.g. charcuterie starter, steak frites main, cheese board, sweet, carafe of red wine and coffee. For 13€. And it's perfect. And no projectile vomiting.... 😨

The amount of times I walked past that place and it was full to the rafters I met thinking I should pop in. THANK GOD I DIDN'T!!

Prawn cocktail ? You are more likely to get sick from seafood than from a steak. A girlfriend ate some scampi in a restaurant, 2 weeks really sick, almost a month before she could eat normally again.

4am knowing that you have to put a Palace cafe fry up in you hours later, good luck 😁😩

Tourist restaurants are notoriously poor Lee. If you don't see a cab driver in them, stay well clear..😃

Looks like a fire damaged Hockey Puck on an over sized plate.

Never visit a restaurant that has photos of the food on the menu 👍🏼

Good honest review mate. Subbed 👍🏻

The legend of Angus continues! I was always told to steer clear of this place... haha

I'm amazed at the price, I'm in Australia and you get a great steak dinner for aus$40. I wouldn't dream of paying aus$90 for that

I remember skipping over the back gate of my grammar school in the 60s and taking the train up to London for a day out..wandering around I'd always come across the Aberdeen angus steakhouse in I believe Leicester Square and as a 17 year old schoolboy with no money having to settle for a Mars bar instead..glad now it wasn't the culinary delight I'd imagined..to get into Kew Gardens back then it was one old penny in a slot in an old football style turnstile now it's £16..blimey

Blimey I watched the end of your video after I commented and I'm frankly astonished that my eye is still working when it comes to dodgy food, and after all these years since my catering days.

On my little Caribbean island we would say “you life lang but you careless wid it”! 🤣🤣

Listen, Man United might not thank me but get the contract out, put it on the table. Let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there, given what he's done since he's come in. Ole's at the wheel, man. He's doing it. He's doing his thing. MAN UNITED ARE BACK!!!!

I went there years ago on a family treat and it was a treat because in those days steak was a rarity. I was just impressed to go up town and to young to know what was a good steak and what was a bad steak. I could probably count on one hand the times Mum and dad went to a restaurant in those days , just didn’t have the money . I’m talking in the 60 s . Restaurants have to be good these days because if they’re not they get found out.

Is it just me who was disappointed to not see footage of him violently vomiting? 🤣

You cleaned the plate, it couldn’t have been that bad. I’ve had a lot worse, inedible worse.

I know what I'm going to say is heresy,but filet is the most tasteless cut If your gonna rate a steak house ,ribeye or strip steak

I have ALWAYS wanted to eat at an Angus Steakhouse ever since my first visit to London Town in the 90s. It has always been on my to do list, I don’t know what it was that drew me to them… But after this video, not any more! I am so sorry to hear that you experienced illness (whether the fault of the steakhouse or not) but that has put paid to that for me, and fair play to you for going through what you do in the name of vlogging.

You never go into central tourist places for food unless its a cafe. They have to churn out food constantly for droves and droves of tourists. Its always busy so can you imagine they don't take time to cook food or clean etc because they are always tending to more people. I always ate on the slight outskirts of London in the more quieter places that were still somewhat "Central Londony" Places like Chalk Farm/Primrose Hill, Hamstead Heath or Angel.

World flying by fast but the beer stays full! I need to try this place.

To be honest theres more chance of it being the prawns than the steak

I’m staggered that Angus Steak House is still in existence. I went to one in Soho in about 1975 and even though I was a naive teenager I could tell it was crap. I suspect they survive on custom from the least discerning type of American tourist. Of which there are plenty in that part of London.

Awww bless you Lee! I’m sorry you have suffered since going down to London. I hope you feel better soon to do the next review. To your review today in all honesty that all looked okay the steak, fries, onion rings and peppercorn sauce. I don’t like steak. But if I had no other choice. The only thing is my steak has to be well done. What a shame it didn’t taste of anything and for that price too. I doubt DJ is upset at missing that Vlog as you both could have been ill. He’s a sweetie for leaving a little message regardless. Scoring looking at your meal I’d give it a 7. Take care Lee

I went here and was shocked that I had to pay a cover charge of £1, which when queried with the waiter it is £1 to be taken to your table. I got my own back by not leaving a tip.

More likely to be the prawns for your sickness. Although the steak didn't look very appetizing.

I've not eaten in London before. What exactly is a service charge paying for? And why isn't it encoporated within the food price. Is it advertised anywhere that they add a service fee?

Will steer clear of these Angus Steak houses!! Thanks for the review Lee

I'm pretty sure there used to be one of these at Leicester Square, it looked good from the outside but never tried it, think its something else now.

These Angus Steak Houses have too much competition nowadays from the likes of Gaucho and Hawksmoor who cook steaks so much better. £24 for a tasteless filet steak is a rip off!!

As a Londoner I'd rather go to a local cafe or even Wetherspoons than an Angus Steakhouse for a steak. They've always looked grim and must survive on tourism alone. I'd give it a 2 for the service you got.

Only eaten there once years ago and never fancied eating there again but one of the best chain steak restaurant is flat iron and my favourite restaurant is the Covent Garden one because you get a free ice cream at the end. Also free beef dripping popcorn at the beginning of the meal.

This is like Jackass and you keep enduring pain to bring us another episode. I am already very worried for you eating at the Palace again. Such a brilliant and honest London review.

Ive got to say that i absolutely just love the English accent👌😊

Worst meal we had in London 1996. Never ordered beef in UK rest of our 14 day tour. Loved UK!

Oh bless you. They used to do Angus steak burgers on Crew station in early sixties (posh)🤣 Your meal looked awful, hope you feel better soon x

I wonder if restaurants are trying to circumvent the new Laws for sharing tips. Call it a 'cover charge'. Just Eat have done this with CARD charges Law change.

As a Brit, I've always wondered who on Earth eats at that place. I figured it existed purely to be a tax dodge.

No salt on the chips…we’re you too traumatised to add salt yourself….that’s why they put seasoning on a table..appears everything lacked seasoning..something you could have rectified very easily.

I went to one of these in the late nineties (I think it was in the Leicester Square area but couldn't swear to it) and I could have sworn it was called Angus Steak House then. It wasn't cheap and the portions were so small myself and my mate went to the nearest chippy straight afterwards because we were still starving. When you cut through that steak I thought it looked a bit form for a fillet, and the fact that there was pool of juice on your plate before you started clearly indicates that it had not been rested before serving.

Poor you, you were really struggling to eat that steak, fillet steak should just melt in your mouth. Great you tried it, no taste any of it, don't know why it was so busy. Great review. 👍
