    HEST BEER IVE EVER HAD
    Luke C.

    bathroom to small server ok cornhole is fun wish the boards and bags where better good beer

    Chicken Philly sandwich w/fries.

    What a fun place to have a beer and some great bar food. While visiting friends in Oxford, their elderly father wanted to go to Big Buls as it's his favorite place. How can you go wrong with $1 Busch Light on a Monday night? We were a party of 15 and the food was served in a pretty timely manner. I had a chicken Philly sandwich on a hoagie roll w/fries. There was so much chicken that I skipped the roll so I could enjoy the rest. Had a side Caesar which was also good. Some other plates on our table were ribs, salmon, pulled pork and burgers. The servers were very friendly. Now I know why my friend's dad loves the place

    Loaded Italian cowboy with Saratoga chips

    First time here and there was a fundraiser going on in the back and no parking. We found a spot and thought there was going to be a wait. There wasn't which was good and were seated right away. We started off with the Bavarian pretzel sticks. Since they used a German name for the pretzels one would think it would be bier cheese. Nope, it was spicy queso sauce but they were good. They deep fry the pretzels since they were a little greasy but it wasn't dry. I had the double black and blue burger. It was bigger than I thought. It was a bit dry with the Cajun seasonings and bleu cheese. The patties seem to be premade by the perfect roundness but I could be wrong if they use a burger press but the meat didn't have much taste. My wife had the loaded Italian cowboy. She said it was good and a nice size sandwich. It seems the meat didn't go to the ends as there was a good amount of bread only on each end but had a taste with the dressing and seasoning. She said the Saratoga chips were good. She needed to get a side of bbq sauce which I was surprised that didn't come with it as they would have been dry. Overall it wasn't bad and we will be back to try other items on their menu

    Big Buls is a good example of the West Side Cincinnati area family friendly bar and restaurant. Like its many cousins, Big Buls is a place to have a beer or two with dinner-and the kids, grandma, heck even the in laws will feel welcome. They have a large patio area that was hosting some sort of public party (I bet it was a cornhole tournament) when we visited. But Big Buls still had plenty of seating inside for my daughter, my wife, and myself. Our waitress was amazing! She was attentive to everyone in there, checked with the chef on the spice level of my daughter's bean burger (and that was very nice- a real vegetarian option in a local eatery in a scene not noted for its vegetarian options), and made us feel right at home. The food was ok. Nothing special we found- my wife said the steak she had was cooked properly but had no seasoning (an A-1 steak sauce steak) and my hoagie was an ok hoagie. However, the prices reflected the fare. Everything was very reasonably priced (now don't you go saying I remember when a burger cost 99 cents and everything nowadays beyond that is overpriced. I am happy to have a meal at a sit down restaurant with quality table service at the $20-$25 a plate price range.) with our meals averaging about $15. Good value. The inside had a whole array of TVs with sports on, and the establishment had the volume at the perfect level for both entertainment and table conversations. I liked it and will return the next time we are in the area.

    Potato skins!

    Big Buls was hopping on a Friday night. Big tables inside and out make room for large groups, sports teams and the like. Food was good starting with potato skins and salads. Sandwiches were HUGE so we got to bring home lunch for the weekend! The live music started out back at 9pm. They have both local bands (Middle Age Man Band, hint hint) as well as national acts like Scotty McQuery here in May 2018. The stage was nice with covering for the weather, but as it warms up the screens open to a huge back patio and even bigger fire pit! Check it out!

There was 7 of us at the table and the waitress took very good care of us. All I heard was how big the portions were. Then I seen some food come out and I will say, unless you order the soup it was large servings. I seen sandwiches that were very large and a chicken salad that was very good. I order the Italian chicken that was basically an open faced chicken Parmesan on bread with fried pepperoni and it came with fries. They had cheap beer and Hamilton water that if you know, you know. The best tap water in America. I can't wait to come back and try the massive nachos I heard about.

I ordered the Angry American Burger, while my husband ordered the Big Farm Burger. The burgers were good, cooked to our likeness. The buns held up well, and the fries were really good. The sliced jalapenos on my Angry American didn't add any heat, nor did the pepperjack cheese, or spicy ranch sauce. I thought the burger would be up there with the large chain's Burnin' Love burger, but it wasn't. Which can be a safe for those not used to anything spicy. Service was decent and overall, the food was good. No complaints if you're just looking for casual grill and bar food.

    This was originally a "speakeasy" but has since gotten HUGE signage directing you to it, so really…read moredoesn't qualify anymore. You can either walk through the gun center or enter at the rear / side of the building. Either way it is a bit of a walk so could be a concern for anyone with mobility issues. I was surprised that there were not any disabled parking spots close to the side entrance. It's a large lounge, upscale and beautifully decorated though does not have an intimate feel. Majority of seating is tables vs. bar. The cocktail menu is unique and fun, with the different drinks named after famous and infamous gunslingers. I had a Baby Face Nelson which was attractive and delicious. At first I though it was a little weak but towards the end it hit with a bang (see what I did there). I also took advantage of the ladies night menu and got a $5 cucumber mint G&T. The cocktail pricing is what you'd expect, ranging from $12 to $16. The wine list is not extensive and I would not describe this as a wine bar. But, I would come here seeking a fancy cocktail anyway. No food served, but door dash menus are available and there is also a limited menu for direct delivery from the Indian restaurant across the road. The outdoor patio looks nice. We were there on the earlier side, around 5 PM on a weekday. Service was pretty attentive with only one waitress handling the tables. I think if they found a way to serve some simple appetizers and put in a railing along the walkway from the parking lot to the door (thinking of my husband here) I'd give it five stars. They have a weird rule in that they insist on scanning your ID, regardless of age, up until 7 PM any day - this is so that no one who orders a drink can go next door and shoot (where they also scan IDs). The shooting range closes at 7 PM. So shoot first, drink later.
