At Black Angus, our brand has always meant something special. Because on the ranch, a brand is what differentiates you from your neighbors. It's a physical example of what sets you apart from the others in the herd. At Black Angus, our brand means: You're part of a Heritage stretching back almost 60 years. We have a history of ranchers and restauranteurs that stretches the entire West, from Washington to California, New Mexico to Hawaii. It means you're part of a Family. We strive to make every experience feel like you're coming home. It's apparent in the quality of our meat—Certified Angus Beef® and USDA Choice Steaks—but also in every plate we serve.

Sherwood “Shakey” Johnson loved ragtime music. He dreamed about having a place where his family and friends could get together, share some pizza and beer while listening - and often singing along – to favorite ragtime standards. So back in 1954 he scraped together his savings and opened the first Shakey’s Pizza Parlor & Ye Public House® at the corner of 57th and J Street in Sacramento CA. There was nothing like it. People came from all over to enjoy the original thin crust pizza, ice cold beer on tap and most of all, the fun, family friendly atmosphere. While times have changed, Shakey Johnson’s dream is still alive and well today at Shakey’s Pizza Parlor®. For generations people have been coming to Shakey’s® to share good food and good times with family and friends. Walk into any Shakey’s Pizza Parlor® today and you’ll find grandparents, parents and their children sitting around a family-size table sharing a meal, swapping stories, and reconnecting over Shakey’s® famous Pizza, Mojo® potatoes and crispy chicken. Dad’s enjoying a cold beer as he watches his favorite team take the play-offs on one of many flat screen TVs; mom enjoys a bit of “me time” while grandma and grandpa watch on as the kids entertain themselves in Shakey’s® dedicated fun zone. Good times indeed – and always a good value. Shakey’s® is an American classic. We’ve perfected the art of uniting family and friends around a meal – something of a lost art in this fast paced, time-starved world.
