    Crispy chicken salad
    Kiara A.

    Mmm, I don't know. This place is maybe really for watching games and mediocre food. Obviously they're not actually cooking most things that's on the menu. I ordered crispy chicken on a Caesar salad and my chicken was practically ice cold when I got it. I don't like to be the person sending food back but I just couldn't. After telling the waitress, she said that it was because the lettuce was cold.......... lol Then she said it's bc the chicken doesn't sit under a warmer like other food when it's ready. I'm thinking why not or why didn't she just bring it out when it was hot but okay, whatever. So she brings me back a new one but I wouldn't have been surprised if it was the same chicken bc it was clearly the same plate of lettuce (there was a bit of the dressing that I used on a piece of lettuce). The chicken was just that packaged cooked frozen chicken that they reheat & serve. Plus the fastest our waiter was during our time there was when she was grabbing our checks and picking them back up lol.. so if you're looking for regular degular food to pay for, this isn't a bad spot for that.

    Pizza, Pretzel, loaded fries, beyond burger.

    The food came out delicious and hot. They have great happy hour specials monday through friday. We have tried quite a few different types of Items. The pretzel were soft and the pepperoni pizza was delicious. You can't go wrong with the nachos that were loaded with flavor alongside the southwest buffalo chicken sandwich. Our server made sure to answer any questions that we had and always checked in to see how things were going and if we needed anything. There is sports going on in all of the televisions.

    Goat on a Date wrap with Sweet Potato Fries

    This is a typical sit in bar and grill. We were seated and greeted quickly, though there were very few guests there. The food was ok, not great, not bad. I liked their menu in that they listed out different salads and you could get it as a salad or wrap. Same with their burgers, they listed them out and you could get a burger or chicken as the protein. I thought that was very creative. I got the Goat on a date wrap and loved it. The sweet potato fries were ok. My boys liked the chicken fingers and Mac and cheese. The other salad wasn't great.

    Is this a family friendly restaurant? Went with my four children when it first opened and it was pretty packed as expected on a weekend. Was not offered a wait time estimate or to add my name on list.

    Yes! As you may recall, there are two halves to Bulldog. One half is more of a bar area with high tops. Other side is table seating and very family friendly. On occasion there may be short wait times but usually within 10 minutes as long as you… Read more

Based on food, that 2-star above would be a "4". It's a family-run establishment, and therein lies the reason for the 2-star mark. They have rules. Oboy, do they have rules. When you order the chicken, they bring it out "family style", and only the folks who order the chicken can sup from the bowls. They put out relishes and yummy corn fritters, but don't think you're going to get to take them along in the doggie bag. You can rent a seat for $10.41, if you don't order a full dinner; and your kids can rent their seats for $5.20, if THEY don't order a dinner. There's a "Lettuce salad" for $8.63, but only at that price if you order WITHOUT croutons. Apparently the WFF folks didn't swing when the crouton futures were favorable. For the record, "croutons" are nowhere on the menu...at any price. There was a scowling manager who reminded me of Basil Fawlty (q.v.). It seemed she was annoyed by the customers. Their policy is NO SPLIT CHECKS. That's okay, we have calculators on our fones. We were a party of four, a regular dining quartet, and it is our custom that no one picks up the entire check. Sometimes one or more of us pays cash for their portion and others have a card. We'll say: "charge each card $40, and here's $50 in cash". Round numbers, easy peasy. (which actually results in a bonus for the server 'cos the tip turns out to be greater than normal) We've never encountered a problem at any resto (who accepts credit cards) when it came to giving them payment in this fashion. O, but there was a problem here. One of our 4 didnt have any cash and needed to pay with his card, but was told "No, you can't!" The fellow with the Card was so offended, he said he was going to skip dinner, and just have a Diet Coke. But that would trigger the $10.41 "I ain't eatin'" fee. Well. It stupefies me that ANY establishment would kick back at customers wanting to pay their bill. The waitress was adamant that we could not proffer varied payments for our bill. We asked for a manager, and Ms. Fawlty sidled up to our table. They kept insisting there was "NO SPLIT CHECK", but we weren't ASKING for a split check. The ask was on the SUM TOTAL (with generous tip added). We even made the ask in "round numbers" They didn't have to do any math. I thought I was going to have to pull up an Esperanto translator to get her to understand we weren't asking to SPLIT the check. After some sprightly conversation, the loose wire in the old bag's noggin hit the right contact and then she grokked what we were proposing. I thought I saw sparks coming from her right ear, but it might have been a trick of the light. Luckily, the guy with the card could now eat. The aggregate service was fine, with the above exception, and as I said above, the food IS top-notch. Even beyond Chicken-- the Steak here is very good. My carping here nonetheless, it's a fun place to go, and you are guaranteed a fine feed. But if you're in mixed company, work out who is going to grab the tab before you sit down...
