About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Charming
Bull & Bourbon is a cut above other steakhouses – literally. Our innovative approach to classic steakhouse cuisine makes for a multi-sensory experience. Enjoy steaks prepared on our custom wood burning grill paired with our extensive and hand-selected bourbon menu for flavors that beautifully complement each other. Because we source local coastal California seafood, use steaks cut from our in-house butcher program, and choose select cuts from our on-site aging room, we always start with top-quality ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes. You will always know from where your food has been sourced, and our chefs approach cooking as the true art that it is.

    The only reason I did not give the food a perfect 5 star rating is because the lobster, for all five meals ordered at the table, was overcooked. Other than that everything was excellent. The steaks were all prepared as ordered - either medium rare or medium. The drink recommendations were excellent. The atmosphere was perfect. We enjoyed our dinner which was in honor of our friend's 50th birthday.

We sincerely apologize that the lobster didn’t meet expectations and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

    This was our first time at the Bull and Bourbon restaurant. We had been in the Sycuan Lazy River for hours and were tired but we saw the Wednesday and Thursday surf and turf special and decided it was worth the effort. We were sooo right. The service was wonderful and the food was some of the best we have had. I would recommend it highly. If you are a Club Sycuan member, you save even 10 percent on the meal, which was already well priced
    Bull & Bourbon SteakhouseResponded on June 12, 2025
    Thank you so much for your wonderful review Judith! We're thrilled to hear that your first visit to Bull & Bourbon was such a memorable one. It’s great to know that the Surf & Turf special caught your eye and lived up to your expectations—especially after a relaxing day at the Lazy River! We’re especially happy to hear that Joshua and the rest of the team provided excellent service. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them—they’ll be delighted to know they made your experience even better. We also appreciate your feedback about the atmosphere and the drapes. We’ll share this with our team as we’re always looking for ways to enhance the dining experience. Thank you again for your recommendation and for being a valued Club Sycuan member. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon!

    We had reservations on Thursday night at 5 pm looking forward to steak and lobster special, we were actually the first couple they seated, in front seating causal with bar and tv visible The food and service was wonderful however, towards the end of our meal my husband noticed patrons seated in an area beyond where we were and inquired he was told by the host the dining room a much nicer area was for patrons who had reservations the area we were dining in was for walk ins or patrons that just wanted to sit at bar. We felt slighted, we had made reservations secured with a cc and our dress was casual as all the other patrons we are mature not loud so not sure why we were not offered dining room.
    Bull & Bourbon SteakhouseResponded on June 8, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Cris. We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service—that’s always what we strive for. We’re sorry to hear, however, that the seating arrangement left you feeling disappointed. To clarify, our seating process is based on evenly distributing tables among our servers to ensure the best possible service for all guests. While we do our best to accommodate preferences, this system sometimes results in guests with reservations being seated in different areas of the restaurant. We truly appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team as we continue to improve the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon and provide a visit that exceeds expectations from start to finish.
