Always good.The prices are in line which is rare these days.Service is great as we sat in the bar in a nice roomy booth.Lexi was our server and she works hard,has a good eye for the little things.Prime rib is king here and my friend had a great New York steak.I go every couple months and enjoy this place.

Food was good, service was excellent. The place is outdated but it seems like they cater to locals. The place has a strange smell. Good place to go have some drinks and catch a game. Not for a date night for sure.

The teriyaki beef and cheese enchilada plate is really good. Meat cooked really well and flavorful. The enchilada is also very good. Prime rib melt with cheese is also very good. The bleu cheese salad dressing is still excellent, but they changed their vinaigrette and now it's caca. This is a place for really good food in s casual atmosphere with good service and I've never had a bad meal here. That being said, the balsamic vinaigrette is so bad it made the overall meal just ok instead of excellent like it used to be

Ugh. I dropped like $90 on a steak, 2 kids meals, and a beer. The service sucked. Food wasnt worth the price. I should have just bought a steak and cooked it myself. Flavorless and tough Even at med rare. I watched our server dote over other tables that I assume she thought would be better tippers... she was right! She got shafted based on her attention to us. Bummer, I'm a server too! Would have hooked you up, girl! Treat us all equally next time, Victoria

We had Lunch today at Bully's, I had not been here in about 10 years. I was craving Prime Rib. So I remembered they specialized in Prime Rib and they were open for Lunch. I specifically asked the Waitress if they had the End Cut and very importantly to check if it was not dry. She came back and said they did have the end cut and it would not be dry. So we ordered 24oz. Bone-In Prime Rib End Cut plus the Wedge Salad. The Wedge was less than a quarter of a wedge for both of us. It was not bad, but it had very little bacon crumbles. Then the Prime Rib came, it was cut in 2 parts, my friend had the one with the bone, once he cut it, you could tell that it was very dry, he sent it back, and they gave him a normal 8oz. Regular Cut without the bone. Mine did not look dry, that is until I started till the middle, where it was as dry as could be, to the point that it could not even cut it with the steak knife. I asked our waitress if I could have a piece that was not as dry. And then 5 minutes later comes the manager, I actually thought he was going to punch me, since he looked pissed and I mean mad, asking me what the problem was, I explained that we wanted an End Cut, but specifically asked to check that it would not be dry. The Manager said that all end cuts are dry and that I had eaten most of it (that was not true) but he was not polite about it at all, he was rude and worst of all the attitude. Now I know where the Name Bully's comes from, the Manger acted like a rude bully trying to intimidate us. He said I could have an 8oz. Regular Cut if I wanted, I said it's ok, I even said thank you. They brought me this smaller cut. And I ate it. I asked for real horseradish, since the Horseradish Cream they give you is more like a liquid and the Au Jus was super salty. They never brought the Real Horseradish. Now our Server Waitress was very nice, and I even saw her face of embarrassment when the manager was trying to bully us about complaining. But this is the first time I have even been bullied by a manager for sending my food back. We were charged for 2 8oz. Regular Cut plus the surcharge for sharing a plate. Total with tip was $140 dlls. The Mud Pie was the best thing we had. But not good enough to ever come back.

Our first visit here was during COVID. I admit, I got love at first sight at their horseradish primerib. However, during this time it wasn't the best as before. The horseradish prime rib is like rubbed with bread crumbs. Their halibut for my daughters dish is bitter. When I ask the server what are the ingredients of the sauce, she said that she didn't know and had to ask the chef. We will not going back.

First time here and I wasn't impressed. Went with friends who this use to be her weekly hangout and even she was disappointed. 630 reservation and finally finished at 9. Had to flag the waitress down numerous times just to get refills on the drinks, when taking the order we ordered the tomahawk and she had to check if it was available, she left and was literally gone 15 minutes before coming back and continuing with the rest of the order. Food was okay nothing special, for the price there are better steak houses for sure

Very disappointed. Waitress was very nice but the food did not measure up compared to previous experiences at all. The onion soup was over salted, potatoes cold, and prime rib not seasoned well. My fish was okay. Appetizer was good.

Arrived at the restaurant and the only one around the front was some young guy with his baseball cap backwards. Very professional. Hostess arrived and the only table available was in what I call the add on childrens room out front. No thanks. Left and went to another restaurant. Not a good vibe unless you are a bar patron.

Really good options, plenty of parking and the service was surprisingly fast!Kid-friendliness: My son was really happy with his chicken tenders and fries.

My prime rib dip was dry and not mouth watering. My husband's prime rib piece of meat was less than a quarter in thick and tastless. The mashed potatoes were lumpy and unattractive. Not the same food as we've had in the past. The fish and chips were very generous and brussel sprouts were great as were the fried artichoke hearts. Not the finest meal we've ever had there.

I'd like to leave a positive review for our dining experience on April 6 for lunch. As a family of three, we decided to try something different and opted for Bully instead of our usual choice, Yard House. We were impressed with the food menu selection and the transition from seating to eating was very fast. Our waitress was very accommodating, and I feel bad for accidentally grabbing the wrong receipt. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend it.

Our server, Stephanie, was amazing. The food was unbelievable, and we had an incredibly good time. I can't wait to go back and try another entrée. I had the salmon, and it was truly remarkable. The bone-in porterhouse looked equally amazing.
