Long known for its USDA Prime cuts Aged Midwestern Corn-fed Angus beef, fabulous fresh Gulf coast seafood, traditional handmade Greek desserts and outstanding house specialties, this Emerald Coast landmark restaurant is truly full-service. Whether in need of a flawless source for catering, carry-out or celebration, The Angus is proficient in all areas.
Owner Chris Bithos opened the doors of The Angus in 1968, serving an exquisite Filet Mignon for only $1.49. Since it’s opening, the restaurant has expanded to its present size – more than 10,000 square feet of space – from a single dining room to two dining rooms, a bar/lounge and banquet facilities.
Chris Bithos has recently retired and handed the keys to Peter Bithos, son and co-owner. Peter has worked alongside his father since he was a child. He’s done everything from bus to dishwasher, to being the cook. He believes the success of the restaurant is due to the hardworking and longtime staff, with over 100 years combined experience in the kitchen, and the fact that no one is afraid to get their hands dirty.
It was the goal of Peter Bithos, co-owner, to make The Angus the most beautiful and unique place in town for receptions and reunions, banquets and birthday parties. For over 35 years The Angus has been honored to host community meetings, fund-raisers and corporate parties. Now it has the stunning visual environment to share, too.
With a skillful facelift, paneled walls now shimmer with rich, inviting radiance; painted walls boast tropical pastels; refurbished fireplaces welcome heart to hearth; and deep blue carpet and newly tiled floors lay the stage, beckoning one to dine in comfort and luxury. Mediterranean magic has transformed the dark, classic steakhouse of last century into a contemporary seaside oasis. Breathtaking wall murals replicating the verandahs, water view and tranquil sunsets as might be seen in an elegant Greek country-club setting. There are few extraordinary restaurants in the Pensacola area and fewer which have the capability of serving 400 guests with the same grace and competence as they serve four. But at The Angus, a meal in the front room offers a cozy, family-room ambiance; the bar lounge simulates a garden patio; and the banquet rooms suggest the romantic, captivating awe of an Aegean retreat.
Remember, a meal is more than just the food. It’s about the company and conversation. For your next night on the town, visit a Pensacola Landmark. Eat at the Angus. You can be assured the Bithos family will bring personal care to turn your special dining moments into lasting, enchanting memories.
