⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — D G
Had really low expectations here, as the area isn’t known for having great restaurants, but I was pleasantly surprised. The nachos were good; burger was good, chicken parm was good, although the ribeye steak was mediocre. The fries are amazing. Waitress was attentive and prompt.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Linda Dickison
We had high expectations as our host at the B&B we were staying at confirmed that our choice for dinner was a good one. We ordered the ribeye and the hanger steak, not sure what we would be getting with the hanger steak as we’ve never had one. The ribeye was thinner than expected but had real good flavor. The hanger steak was completely different. It was a thicker than expected cut and was flavorful in its own way. We really had wanted the ginger teriyaki hanger steak, but they were sadly out for the night. We shared a bowl of seafood chowder. Not as thick as others we’ve had but flavor was good. Overall, great food and if we are in the area again, we would go back and would recommend Bullwinkles for a good solid meal!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Aleja Gagñon
Great food! Great drinks! Great service! My family stopped in for dinner. Quick seating. Had the artichoke spinach dip to start. Yummy! I ordered a lemondrop martini that was very well balanced, kudos to the bartender. My family enjoyed the cowboy ribeye with mash and veggies, meat was juicy, smoky and tender. My daughters had the pull pork mac n cheese, the special crab sandwich with fries, and the little had Mac n cheese with some of her Poppas ribeye. I enjoyed a seafood platter with a fresh slaw. Heaven! Very pleased. We will be back next time we're in town
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Amy Creed
Loved!!! We were traveling the East Coast, had our fill of fish and we were craving steaks. So glad we chose this restaurant. I had the NY Strip with garlic parmesan sauce, mashed potatoes and roasted corn. My hubby had the King cut Prime Rib, baked potato and roasted corn. My mouth is watering just thinking about how delicious it was. Our server was top notch, great atmosphere. A must go to place!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Real world pew pew (The BLUR)
The wait time was very quick. Food options were very good. Our food order was amazing. My wife loved the fried pickles. I was very impressed by the potstickers. The prim rib by far is the best I've ever had. Definitely worth the 200 dollars for 2 people .
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Crystal Perkins
I was a bit concerned about some of the negative reviews I had been seeing, but I have no idea what they were talking about. We had a short wait on a Saturday at 5:00. We were seated by a friendly hostess/waitress. Our server was Charity, who was great. Our drink orders were taken and delivered in record time. Our food came out at good intervals. Everything was served at proper temperatures. All our food was incredibly delicious. The seafood chowder was so good, with scallops, shrimp, pieces of fish, and nicely sized chunks of potatoes. Our salads were crisp and fresh. The bread with whipped butter was very nice. We each got the prime rib with mashed potatoes and gravy. My Queen cut was just a bit thinner than the King. The meat was perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and melt in the mouth tender. The mashed potatoes and gravy were the perfect accompaniment. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely two thumbs up 👍
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Dan D
A gem of a steakhouse with a very casual atmosphere. My steak was perfectly prepared. Our excellent server told us that the owner is also the chef and the pride of ownership shows. Highly recommended.
