    I have been going to Bully’s since first moving to San Diego in 1969, although I believe the Mission Valley location did not open until 1971. Continue to enjoy this restaurant because it still provides a comfortable dining experience with high leather booths, carpet, and Always personable staff. I never get anything but the prime rib dip sandwich, which comes with a salad and side and it never disappoints.🥰

    Over all it was okay. Pride rib was good as was the filet Wellington. Asparagus was inedible. Burnt, herd, and just bad. Mashed potatoes were ok at best. Atmos was ok. It’s a sport bar and the servers acted like it. $200 for just ok is not ok. They need to ramp is the customer appreciation level a lot.

    Watch your bill and make sure they don’t charge you for something that is free and included in your dinner. They charged me for the clam chowder which was supposed to be included.

    This is my go to place to get a good solid meal with lots of selections. It’s a great place to meet with friends. For me, it has always been consistently good food, good service and great prices. Always enjoy sitting in a bar booth, however, it can be a little noisy sometimes.
