    We had a corporate dinner here with 14 people. The restaurant has a relaxed bar vibe and wasn't too busy. Food was decent. The bully burger and the brussel sprouts were great. Margherita pizza and tots were nothing special. Service was decent, waiter seemed a bit stressed - not super friendly but I would go back.

    This continues to be one of the best restaurants. I have lived in Vail for 14 years and the value and quality of food is still great. It was better than a Michelin restaurant I visited the night before.

    Wonderful! I’ve lived here 20 years and been missing this place. Where have I been? So pretty, cozy ambiance. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. Valet parking and a reservation for 8 made it easy. Highly recommend!

    Great service and ambience. The food looked good and came out as it was ready, but the food wasn’t remarkable. We had the nachos, wedge salad, salmon, the prosciutto goat cheese pizza, and the boar chili, also martinis. Out of everything, the wedge salad was the most delicious and the drinks were excellent.

    Was great to find Bully Ranch during Vail’s off-season when it seems 90% of restaurants are closed. And what a great find! Service was prompt and super friendly, food was delicious and prices were… well it’s Vail! So $150 for dinner wasn’t a big surprise! Ambiance is great!! Rustic cowboy with big picture windows looking out on a beautiful patio that is under repair. It was a great evening and we’ll be back! Hey, they have pizza!!

    Service was outstanding. Large portions. The short rib ragu was room temperature to slightly warm at best. Same with the broccolini. My partner had the trout which was good. Nice bar area and great mountain vibe. The staff was very friendly and very attentive.
