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

DO NOT go to Bully's Del Mar. We went in on a Saturday night at 10:30 and we were treated badly and the service was terrible. Our waitress forgot our food and the manager overcharged one person's bill. When we were leaving the manager called my friends and me [-----]. I will NEVER go there again. I was the most... more

Each time I have been to Bully's I have had a bad experience with the service. My friend and I went a couple of times and the staff made rude comments and treated us badly. Managers were rude, too. The food is great, but not enough to put up with the people who work there. Good services goes a long... more
