Bully Ranch Restaurant

I’ve never seen this restaurant before but I came upon it because it was one of the few serving late lunch. I was not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. I sat at the bar and the bartender was always attentive. The truffle and Parmesan tots were amazing. The meatballs were good and the addition of the mozzarella cheese gave it a nice creamy texture.

Very cool vibe, great food and service! Jackie took care of us and did an amazing job! The blazing saddles whiskey drink was refreshing and enjoyable. We got (sorry not pictured) the shrimp aquachili, wild boar chili and creamy tomato soup for apps. All were amazing!!! For entrees we got the Scottish salmon and elk bolognese and they were both very delicious. Highly recommend when in Vail.

The restaurant has a very charming and cozy interior. It was too cold to sit outside. The staff was very friendly and attentive, they made few mistakes but nothing major. I started off with the Whipped Ricotta, it’s to die for. Then I had the Elk Bolognese and it was outstanding. I was with a big group and we all enjoyed our food. Highly recommend!!!

We were visiting in Vail in mid October, which we were NOT aware was considered off season. We took the transit, which is free 👍 and convenient if you don't want to drive and try to find parking, to downtown shopping. It became cold and snowy so we looked for somewhere OPEN to eat lunch, what a great surprise. We ordered the Bully Bourbon Burger, they only serve wagyu beef, we both agreed best burger we have ever eaten and the tomatoe soup was awesome not your everyday tomatoe soup.The atmosphere was awesome, laid back class and very friendly. Not cheap but you are in Vail, but worth it.

This place was beautiful. However the bar tender never filled my water or asked me how my food was. I was right at the bar we made eye contact ever 5 minutes or so... I was traveling alone after 3 days in the car I stopped in. I felt out of place and everyone including the staff treated me that way. I ordered a salmon burger thinking I was going to get a salmon patty but it was just a filet on a bun. Had to use a knife and fork to eat it. Honestly I was alone drank only water and dessert I spent 50 dollars 😳. That being said I wanted a dessert and a glass of wine but was never offered so I left. Won't be back.
