Disappointed. Simple food as a medium rare steak come as medium. Simple French fries with sugar on them? Need to keep expectations as expected.

Arrived shortly after 7pm. We (party of 2) were seated fairly quickly as it was not busy. Ordered a beer and a mule. Waited 10 minutes just to be told the bartender couldn't make the mule. Ordered wine instead. Took another 10 minutes to get the wine. Ordered our food. 15 minutes later we were told the kitchen was backed up and it would be a little while for our food. 30+ minutes later the food arrived, which was decent at best. Finished our food, waited 15 more minutes to wave down the server to get the check. Was then told that he needed to get the bartender to take the mule off our check. This took another 15-20 minutes. All the while a cook and what I would assume to be a manager, had the time to come out and cut up with a booth next to us. Finally received the check. Not impressed for the money. It was our first time there, we decided to try it based on reviews. We will not be returning. There are other restaurants very close by that do much better, for less cost. Do not waste your time.

As always, great staff and food. Shrimp Cocktail is 5 large shrimp, salad is nice, presented well and Rib Eye perfect. One of the best kept secrets on the Lake. Having a culinary and food industry background makes me reasonably critical so if you’ve not tried here, you’re missing out. Just myself this time but a repeat dinner.

I LOVE this unknown gem! Everything I’ve tried on the menu has been wonderful. Don’t let the steak prices scare you! Their meat cuts are high end and you will love the taste. The porterhouse is huge, the burgers are the best I have had and the bang bang shrimp pictured below should have a price hike! Do you like a cocktail with dinner? The drinks are not watered down, and the bar is well stocked. Do yourself a favor. Make the trip!

We did not make it past the drinks , 2 waters and 1 cider. We had ordered an appetizer however decided to cancel it . There was something in both of our waters some kind of bug, there was no bugs in the cider however it was flat and tasted as if it had turned to vinegar. We let the severs know , we paid for the cider and left. They did not apologize.

We loved our first visit to Bull Docks and will be back. We made a reservation so there was no wait on a Saturday night. Our server recommended Rainbow Trout and it did not disappoint! I also tried a Pineapple Upside Down cake martini and WOW that was amazing! Loved the fresh house made dressings, the house made croutons, fresh salad, delicious steak & seafood…. It was all very yummy and we had wonderful service!

Our server was awesome. There weren’t alot of people when we went so it was nice and quiet. Our Salads and entrees were perfect!! And the dinner rolls were yummy!! We will be back again!
This is our second time going here. We had the most paintent and kind waitress, Ava. The food was amazing, especially the chicken alfredo. My favorite part was the chocolate lava cake. We got a second one it was so good.

We went there for our first time this evening. We had great drinks, great apps, and fabulous food! Fun, friendly atmosphere! Sierra, the bartender, knew absolutely everything about all the food - that's rare and she's the best! Highly recommend!
Fantastic steaks and seafood.
