Who remembers Stuart Anderson Black Angus restaurants? Yeah, I know that Black Angus Restaurants still exist, although hardly what they once were. Black Angus Steakhouse began as a chain in 1964 in Seattle Washington. By 2001; there were 103 restaurants in 13 states. By 2004; the number had fallen to 93, with 57 of those remaining in California. At last count, there are about 45 locations, with 31 in California.
