A very small restaurant with a bar side and a dining side. We do not like to dine in the bar and so we were seated in the restaurant side. Either side of the aisle were red booths with tables affixed that came out into the aisle to allow for additional diners. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Many horseracing pictures... more

I brought my cousin and her family to Bully's. She is a native of CA and had never been there. The food was wonderful!! Our table had ribs, prime rib, prime rib sandwiches and a New York strip and everyone was very happy with our choices. They serve their prime rib with extra au jus and horseradish sauce - traditional... more

I just hosted a dinner for 20+ friends here and we all were very happy with the food and the service. Barbara and her staff did a terrific job in making sure everything was taken care of and the food was wonderful. Despite what some others have chosen to review here, give Bully's the chance it deserves. This place has... more

I started going to Bully's in the early 70s as a college student. Back then a burger, fries and salad was around 5-6 bucks and a draft beer was $2. Prime rib for 2 was $20 (actual Prime Beef). I have returned there to dine from time to time over the years and found the quality of the food to... more

George Bullington would role over in his grave if he knew what has become of his once wonderful local eatery. As a Del Mar local for forty years I am sad to report that the people, management,service and food that made Bullys famous are no longer there. What a shame.... more

We travel to Del Mar at least once a year and usually eat at Bully's twice during the week. We have always had great meals there and find the service to be fine. The onion soup with cheese, bread, and prime rib are our favorites. Prices are quite reasonable. We were a bit concerned after reading some of the other... more

I was in Del Mar at the US Open and took some clients to Bully's. Having lived in San Diego for years, I figured Bully's would be a good choice with some local flavor. Service was indifferent, steaks were overcooked, prime rib was marginal, prices are now ridiculous. A big disappointment. What happened to Bullys? more

Bully's resturant is a great place to visit! They are famous for their prime rib (witch should be ordered rare). I have been there numerous times and have never had bad service and my steak is always cooked to perfection! After you eat, you should be ready to go on a stroll on the beach because the portions are large.... more
