    We came back to have the hamburger and fries. We've eaten the high price items and the lower end and have never been disappointed. I could only eat half of my meal, and my husband ate almost all and was stuffed

    The steaks were very well prepared and tasted great. A bit on the high end for the price scale but not terrible. Salads and other accompaniments were very good as well. Our server was Ashley and she was Fantastic. Very attentive and great service without hovering. Get pleasant personality showed when we were greeted and we saw her the same with every table. Timing of plate deliveries was good. We were not rushed or ever felt ignored. Would definitely come back. Not knocking any of the other staff, but would ask for Ashley’s table again.

    We went to The Bugler to celebrate our one year anniversary. We had a great table with a sweeping view of the race track. Johnny was our waiter and gave us great advice on the menu top to bottom. The food was incredible and each course had subtle flavors that really pushed each dish over the top. Johnny was “Johnny on the spot” with service, knowledge, and above all else, kindness. He helped make our special day feel like it was special to The Bugler as well. Highly recommend him, the staff, and the food. Can’t wait to come back.
