A friend and I came for lunch during college basketball March Madness. We sat at the bar and the…read morerestaurant was decently quiet. They have A LOT of beers on tap. We ordered drinks and they were quick to bring them to us. We love coming here for the daily specials. It was a Thursday so it was $2 PBR cans and .99 Wings/Tenders. We got a couple apps to start. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and the crispy brussels spouts. The motz were very good and were perfectly cooked with a long string of cheese after each bit. Our favorite were the Brussels. They were absolutely delicious and a highly ranked appetizer for me. This is the way that Brussels were meant to be cooked. If you grew up like me and had boiled sprouts, you need to experience these bad boys. We ordered wings and tenders. They came out fast and hot. The wings were excellent. They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Cooked perfectly. As a wings enthusiast and a sports fan, these wings are top tier. We got medium buffalo and sweet chili and both were great. The tenders were fine. In the past, I remember them being bigger. We got garlic parm and the spicy pterodactyl. Both weren't great sauces. The parm tasted a lot like blue cheese. (Idk?) They lose their crispiness very quickly. We weren't impressed with the tenders. Overall, the service was great. The bartender kept checking up on us and getting us drink replacements. The food came out fast, and was hot and delicious. I would recommend this spot to my friends. Especially for the apps, wings and specials. Random cons: - during the NFL season, they do not have NFL ticket or Thursday night games on Amazon. -they don't play the sound to most sporting events. Just the Bears I think?... 4.1/5 stars

THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE PUGLY…read more Across several years and many experiences, Bulldog Ale House has been perfectly pleasant at its best....and downright ruff at its worst. Many people in the suburbs of Chicago are familiar with this small chain of bar/restaurants. They have locations in Carol Stream, North Aurora, New Lenox, and Lansing on the IL-IN border. Our local Bulldog here in Bolingbrook is on Weber Rd near a Red Lobster, Olive Garden, and the adorable Clowe Int'l Airport. To keep things simple I'll split this one into 3 sections: things that have me believing Bulldog is man's best friend, things that make me want to call the pound, and some truly WTF moments that make me wonder if they've contracted rabies. Who's a good boy? You are! *pets belly* + They have specials every day of the week, including weekends. That's the #1 reason I come to Bulldog, for $4 pints and happy hour deals (like 1/2 off apps before 6pm). Time it right, and you can enjoy a decent meal for a very fair price. + Their outdoor patio is lovely. Nothing beats a cheap draft beer paired with a few shareable plates when the weather's nice. I've also had better service outdoors than indoors, go figure. Bad dog! Go back into the kennel! - Last visit, the bar made my wife a non-alc margarita as she's 23wks pregnant. Unfortunately, we got charged the FULL $11 price for a drink without booze. Honest oversight or sneaky gambit on the server's part? Either way, BIG ripoff. My wife was appalled when she found out her virgin margarita was $11, which is steep even for a regular cocktail. - Service can be spotty. On a recent trip our server was gone for long stretches of time; she forgot about a lemonade, plus we had to flag her down more than once to put our order(s) in. It took a while for anything to come out, and when it did, all 4 drinks + 5 large plates showed up at once. Horrible timing. Oh, and the QR code for the beer menu didn't work. **aggressively foaming at the mouth** -- In lieu of crostinis with the kale & artichoke dip, the kitchen decided to blindside our table with half a dozen glacier sized pieces (I hesitate to call them "slices") of toast. It was nearly an entire loaf, the hunks of bread were laughably thick. Wh....what the heck were we expected to do with these? Whip out our own bread knife and cut them ourselves? Super weird and a perplexing choice of substitution from the kitchen. -- On either my 2nd or 3rd visit here, a whole freakin' ceiling tile fell down in the bar area, near where I was sitting. The details are a bit fuzzy, as this happened in 2021, but I remember a mixture of confusion, faint amusement, and "no way that actually happened" stunned disbelief. Happy to report that the ceiling is looking much better as of Dec '23 (though keen eyes can still spot water damage). * TL;DR* At the end of the day, I'm not sending the canine namesake to the pound. I'm glad to have their scruffy butts nearby (even though they sometimes smell like wet dog and can be a little "bitey"). Bread = 4 Circuses = 1.5 I definitely feel that Bulldog's reputation precedes them, based on all the things I've heard from my wife, friends, coworkers, former lovers, pretty much anyone. The food is just fine and the daily deals are a nice perk. The service and 'X-factors', however, really hamper the overall rating. One visit here might be fine, and the next is a disaster. Remember: just because you ask the owner if it's okay to pet their doggo, doesn't mean you're immune to being chomped on. This particular poochie has a tendency to get all snuggly and then start barking at me for no reason. Bulldogs can be unpredictable like that.

My dining companion and I started with the parmesan truffle fries: very flavorful!

Lots of beers of tap (befitting the name). Both our waitress and the GM checked in on us but didn't make us feel rushed. Overall, a good spot to remember for a relaxed ambiance and a tasty meal.

Bulldog Gutters were hired by my roofing contractor to replace gutters…read more A few things that went wrong with the whole job: 1. I asked for brown gutters since we have a black roof. With brown gutters, they decided to install a white apron (a piece between shingles and gutters). When questioned why white as it stands out, was told it stands out because of my fault, as I asked to move downspouts. When showed them it was even visible from the highest gutter point, they were speechless. They offered to spray paint aprons as a first solution. 2. All corner connecting gutters were spray painted on site. They used other colors. When questioned why they spray painted, they told me they were not; they were just doing touch-ups. When I grabbed the rug and wiped the paint off one of the corner gutter, they pointed out that the paint would come off the gutter if I tried. I did that in front of them, and the paint did not come off (factory paint is baked-in enamel, and it will not come off if you try to wipe it off with thinner). The crew started packing after that and just left. After talking to the original contractor, Bulldog Gutters came back and brought brown aprons and brown corner gutters. An average homeowner who does not know much about construction and does not pay attention would probably not notice anything until the paint would start to fade or peel. Be very careful when they come to replace your gutters. I wish contractors who hire Bulldog would also inspect their quality after each job to make sure no corners were cut.

They had four beers listed, all niche styles that wouldn't appeal to most were 86'd, so basically, a brewery with two beer. The menu was small, generic bar food with zero creativity, and even then, four items weren't available. No real options, so we went with burgers and their so-called cheese curds. The burgers were way overcooked and dry, barely seasoned (just pepper), and honestly hard to eat. The "cheese curds" were just cubes of cheddar cut from a block. Not even trying. Service was a 3/10 at best. Feels like they'll be out of business soon. Won't be back.
