- DDianaVIPSan Diego •52 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGood Meal, Good Price Ordered camp feast, a special with crispy shrimp & sirloin steak. It included 2 sides with each dinner plus fresh molasses bread. Steak cooked perfectly at medium-rare, 4 delicious shrimp, perfectly baked potato with butter, sour cream & chives & the freshest & crispiest green salad ever! Good discount too for good value. Look forward to my next meal there. Our waitress was super & friendly & made good suggestions. Suggested ordering steak rare so it could be adjusted to preference.More infoBlack Angus Steakhouse - El CajonPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• El Cajon / Lakeside•4.3
