Could have put more attention to refilling water glasses or just leave a water pitcher on table
We LOVE this restaurant. We always go the first night we arrive in Vail and we are never disappointed. The Maitresse d' was really pleasant as were all the wait staff. Good beer, great ribs. Couldn't be better!
Our group of 6 had the burger, ribs, wings,octopus, chicken ceased and local beers. All were very good! Chris took good care of us. Would go back and would recommend to others!
Our first visit! Every meal was very good! We will be back -not sure how we have missed this one. Casual but nice, the menu had something for everyone
Went with my family at lunchtime and was told by hostess it would be an hour to seat our party of 5. Came back after an hour and we were told they still could not accommodate us for another 2 hours at least. 3+ hour wait for a mediocre sports bar in Vail is not worth it.

We had a reservation but arrived early and there were two seats at the bar so we decided to just eat at the bar. The bartender Chris was wonderful. He was super personable and gave great suggestions. We had the burger and chicken sandwich and a few cocktails. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
Bully Ranch continues to be a great place to go for a nice choice of comfort food in a very nice environment. Considering it's location in the heart of Vail the prices are quite reasonable. The tomato soup is great on a cold day and all the food is good quality and enjoyable. A variety from salads to pizzas and good sandwiches offers something for everyone. Very good place.
Really awesome place to grab some dinner after a day in the slopes! The chickpea burger was the only thing I was craving and it did not disappoint! They were also able to accommodate our very large party effortlessly!

Good food and service, reasonable prices, and a clean space. It’s not fancy or bougie and a solid place for lunch or dinner.

My family and I used to love this restaurant. BUT: the new menu is terrible . They used to have the best burger in town, now they have a Tex-Mex style menu that doesn’t work. (Note: if a Swiss style hotel, the new menu doesn’t make sense) .
Our waiter was very distracted… in conclusion, every year, both the food and the service worse.
(Also, the mussels used to be really good.)

Utterly disappointed. A girlfriend and I made a reservation for dinner and experienced awful service. We live in Vail but were treated like unwanted tourists. Both tables next to us were given more attention/service - we were treated like an annoyance from the moment we sat down. We completely finished our appetizers before we received our cocktails & no apology was given. Our waiter, Vinny?, came by 4 (!!!) times to check on the table next to us while we sat without water and without our drinks/food 30 mins into our meal. At the end of dinner we told our waiter we had a gift card and he walked away while my friend was actively speaking to him. He returned 10 minutes later seeming annoyed we wanted to utilize our gift card and actually threw the bill down on the table and said “thanks” in a snarky tone before walking away. We gave him a tip although he did not deserve one. If you don’t have a man with you at the table like the two tables next to us, you will be given awful service by Vinny. Go elsewhere.

We had a great experience at Bully Ranch in Vail. We ordered a steak and two hamburgers — the steak was absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The hamburgers were also very good, juicy, and well-prepared. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was attentive and friendly.
Overall, an excellent dining experience. Highly recommended if you’re in the Vail area!

Overall, an average experience.
Service was good and the food was fine– especially the tomato soup and the potato tots, which were both outstanding. Denise, the bartender, deserves a special mention for constantly helping throughout the dining room.
However, the temperature inside the restaurant was unbearably hot. It felt close to 90–100 degrees, and when we asked if it could be lowered, we were told it was controlled by the hotel, so nothing could be done. We were uncomfortably warm the entire meal.
On top of that, a “culinary fee” was added to the check without any prior explanation, which was an unpleasant surprise at the end.
Great food and hardworking staff, but the extreme heat and unexpected fee made the overall experience just average.

Bully Ranch quickly became our absolute favorite restaurant in Vail — and we tried everything from the super trendy spots to the most expensive ones. The food here was amazing, the service was great, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Prices were also very reasonable compared to everything else we tried in town. We didn't repeat a single restaurant in Vail... except for Bully Ranch. That says it all! Highly recommend!
