“The Bull is Back: A Murchison Must-Visit!
Murchison, you need to revisit The Bull! Since Jason and Emily Parker took the reins, this local gem has been completely revitalized, feeling less like a bar and more like the beating heart of the community.

The atmosphere is immediately warmer, the service is quicker, and the entire place positively hums with positive energy.

Emily manages the front-of-house with genuine Southern hospitality, ensuring every guest feels truly welcomed—she has a gift for making regulars and first-timers alike feel like family. Meanwhile, Jason’s has elevated the bar menu, focusing on high-quality ingredients and classic Texas comfort.
The bar environment is also a major highlight under the new ownership.

It’s the perfect, relaxed setting for unwinding, offering a great selection of local craft beers on tap and expertly mixed classic cocktails. The lighting is warm, the seating is comfortable, and it truly feels like the neighborhood's ideal gathering spot for friends.

We tried the signature drinks and the daily special, and both were made to perfection, flavorful, and made with clear care. The portions are generous, exactly what you hope for in a classic Texas establishment.

Beyond the drinks and friendly faces, the Parkers have clearly prioritized the guest experience down to the smallest detail.

The restrooms are impeccably clean and well-maintained, and they offer spacious, easy-to-access parking, making a visit hassle-free from start to finish. This isn't just an ownership change; it’s an overhaul of the entire operation. Jason and Emily have invested deeply in Murchison, and it shows. Stop by The Bull and experience the incredible transformation for yourself. Five stars!”

“My Dad and I like to go here on Sundays for coffee and a visit. They prices, coffee, internet, and atmosphere are better than Starbucks. I love the sweet treats and food they offer as well. The restroom is always clean. Service is friendly and prompt. Even the other customers are friendly.”

“My husband and I went here for the first time. We were pleasantly surprised with this small town find! The two girls running it were very sweet and aimed to please. The service was excellent! We got the fried catfish, which was delicious. I was a little disappointed in the potato salad, which was very plain, but the dessert made up for it! I can't remember what it was called, but had crust, cream cheese, chocolate pudding, and lots of whip cream. So good! This is a must - try place!”

“1st time diners. We ordered the chicken fried steak. It was very good! Not a lot of dough and it was filled with steak. It’s much better than the cfs at The Forge and The Moore Store in Ben Wheeler. Service was great, too. Definitely recommend.”

“Don't let the name fool you. They have sweet treats, but if you need healthy options they have that to. Forget to meal prep enough swing by they have great selections for grab and go.”

“Wow! I loved this place! A beautiful country setting perfect for any time of year. Can’t wait to go in the fall and winter! Beautiful stone hearth inside. Wine selection was great and the charcuterie was the best. Great staff and proprietors! Highly recommend!”

“We stopped in while visiting Athens for the day. The place was recommended by my boyfriend’s coworker. There was nothing fancy about the dining area but the food was soooooo good! The homemade yellow queso was incredible as well as the salsa. We ordered gorditas and the chile rellenos and both were delicious!! 😋 A young man waited on us and they were very attentive and kind. The food was hot and fresh! We will be back for sure!”

“Today I went to have lunch with my husband and toddler son. He’s autistic. He was stemming and kicking the bench and the elderly couple sitting next to us got annoyed. The gentleman got up to tell us to tell our son to stop kicking. He asked very annoyed and in a rude manner. I did not reply. Then I explained to our sweet waitress that our son is autistic and the kicking was stemming and is more noticeable because he has AFOs on. She apologized for them and I asked her if she could just move us because I don’t expect everyone will understand unless they have a loved one with special needs. She did, and we had a lovely dinner and she was so sweet and the manager gave us a discount on top of that. They did not have to and yet they did. They took care of the situation discreetly and we were able to continue to enjoy our meal. Thank you so much for kindness , compassion, incredible service❤️ and delicious food”

“I’m a first time “Sno Bunnies” goer and I must say, it was quite the treat in this heat! Great atmosphere and energy, I will definitely be trying out more of the flavors this summer but the banana made with pure cane sugar was awesome! Thank you so much for keeping me cool this afternoon!🙏😎🩷”

This one doesn't have a ton of seating though so when they're busy you might not be able to eat in. Have backup plans”

“I recommend Thrive cafe because their coffee is excellent and the service is wonderful!”

“Definitely recommend After hearing so many good things about this place, I decided to give it a try. I was disappointed to find out that they closed at 8:00 pm, but was pleasantly surprised when the owners offered to sell me roasted chicken, aguas fresa, and tortillas flour and corn even after closing hours. The owners were incredibly sweet and generous, and I ended up getting roasted chicken and corn tortillas. I can't wait to go back and try the full menu and experience the friendly and welcoming atmosphere again. The owners of this joint truly go above and beyond for their customers.”

“The teas & shakes are amazing! And the protein balls are so yummy! Go by & see Amanda she is the best!!”
