Bull & Bourbon is a cut above other steakhouses – literally. Our innovative approach to classic steakhouse cuisine makes for a multi-sensory experience. Enjoy steaks prepared on our custom wood burning grill paired with our extensive and hand-selected bourbon menu for flavors that beautifully complement each other. Because we source local coastal California seafood, use steaks cut from our in-house butcher program, and choose select cuts from our on-site aging room, we always start with top-quality ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes. You will always know from where your food has been sourced, and our chefs approach cooking as the true art that it is.

    We had a 6:30 seating, the restaurant was very busy, and the noise from the kitchen was quite loud. Service was a bit slow, but very attentive. The shrimp in the shrimp cocktail was watery and the count was 4. Most shrimp cocktails number 6. The asparagus was mostly woody, but then Nov. is well out of season- my error. Its sauce was flavorful. The house salad while lightly dressed with good flavor, had a lettuce core. The ribeye steak was cooked to our request. Our waiter, Micheal, was very helpful

    We have gone to Sycuan more then 2 dozen times in the last year but never tried Bull & Bourbon. Wow, sure glad we did, the food was excellent. I had lobster pasta that had a whole lobster tail in it. It was great, I would order it again. My wife had f filet mignon the smaller one and it was pretty big she ate half of it. She said the flavor was excellent. We ordered two side dressers, mashed potatoes and carrots. They give you a lot of food we didn’t even eat it, we took it home. We will definitely come back.

    I love the experience however two mixed drinks were nowhere near the actual drinks they claimed. The service was outstanding, I tipped Huge! The price of the food is well out of bounce, I think management needs to sit back down and get a reality check on pricing food and beverages. Thank You, M. Sanchez

    For having the name bourbon in the name, the bourbon selection is no better than a standard bar. No single barrels or rare pours, and list was smaller than the one available online. Extremely disappointing on that. For the meal itself, the American Waygu Bone-in New York was fantastic and the chocolate cake for dessert was decadent and highly recommend while eating there.

    Steak and lobster dinner included larger-than-expected portions. Salad and soup were delicious and had 5-star presentation. Chocolate cake dessert was a perfect ending to a fantastic meal.

    Great food, great service, really great specials on Sun, Wed & Thur. Our "go-to" fav for steak & Lobster. Always outstanding service. Sunday we went for the prime rib special. We usually split meals here, but this piece of prime rib was huge and neither of us could finish our half!
