Service was very slow. Not sure if it was a training issue or short staffing. Portion of meatloaf was underwhelming, quality & preparation of food was good.

I've been here 3 times (based on other people arranging the work day lunch). The food is nothing special (bland and boring - I can cook a better meal at home), the service comes with attitude (and inattention to detail - e.g. my order was wrong and I was given the wrong bill) and the atmosphere is dark and dated. If you're just going for a beer and chat with the guys, it's fine. I would not return - plenty of other restaurants who want business and work harder to get it.

The Bull & Barrel has always been a relaxing place . Good food and company. It's definitely not a place if you are a rowdy type. Addendum I still love this place. Nice to see them open on labour day Monday. Sad to see business down due to construction . It used to be 2 seasons. Construction and winterNow it's down to one season CONSTRUCTION ! Sad to see a great place not up to its usual capacity.Today Jan.06/24 had a spill over from our regular haunt. Everyone especially people that have never been there before loved the food ! Made FRESH not from bags of frozen food . You know the Chef "Mike" aka Chef microwave oven. Want real food try it and evaluate the quality. Then you decide. Sorry they dont serve Happy meals.Kid-friendliness: Rug rats are made to feel welcome.Wheelchair accessibility: All flat no problems for those that can't walk the last mile

A great venue for a private party, with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere.Perhaps more craft beer options would be an area for improvement.

Their gravy is to die for! The club sandwich was so fresh! Meatloaf is YUMMY! Wait staff act like they've known you for years. ? The live music on Saturdays is an added bonus to visit.

The Bull has been my local for more than 20 years and it never disappoints. Chef Michael prepared a special menu for our Christmas party and it was delicious.
