Was there for an event. Which was not very big((25ish ppl) and was during lunch on Saturday.. Two servers for the whole party... Salad's were brought out, then Soups then the dressings were brought out for the salads... as the dressings were being handed out the food started arriving... So just a slight disruption in flow with food. Burgers were slightly overcooked. Again it was cooking for a party so hard to get everything 100% perfect.. Over all pretty good.

Full disclosure: we're regulars at this location, and it's 100% because of the people. Our daughter is autistic and nonverbal, and VERY picky about food and environments. She has formed a huge connection with the staff here, and she does a happy dance every time we ask if she wants to go see Matt for lunch or dinner. Matt has been taking care of us for quite some time now, and he's absolutely the best. Because of him, Bulldog feels like home for our whole family....

I go here a lot or used to anyway... This place needs help. Getting run down. Look at the bar stools, but maybe since they fired the last manager, it will get better. They don’t carry common drinks like White Claw or Truleys. No top shelf vodka? Why? Need to correct some things, and maybe I'll come backI will say Will the Bartender there is great!
