Bull & Bourbon Steakhouse - El Cajon, California

Went here for birthday dinner. Was very happy with the choice. Was a little leery given some of the reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone in my party was happy and all had good things to say after. The food was great. The steak was perfectly cooked and tender and all the sides were delicious as well. Servers were very nice and attentive. Cocktails were delicious, and was a really nice atmosphere. Overall a great experience and will be back sometime.

Wanted to love this. Was so looking forward to a good steak, unfortunately I'd say subpar steak with inattentive service even though near empty tables. The loudest people in the restaurant were the workers laughing and carrying on gathered by the bar. The waitress didn't return to ask about our meal after the food was given. I would've returned the ribeye (uneven cooking, too much of thr fat rendered out, huge strip of grissel, etc). After waiting much too long, I had to ask the maitre d for salt and just ate it as is. We didn't see the waitress again until it was time to pay. I let her know I would've returned the steak if she had come to ask how things were, and she then offered to take it back, but we were ready to leave. Around 1 hr time for the meal. No wait, near empty restaurant. Dark, fancy, romantic atmosphere. For the food and service, however: 1 star. My wife did like her filet but said she'd never come back. The bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp appetizer was the best thing we ate. I wouldn't come here for the steak again. We had the shrimp appetizer, ribeye, filet, house salad, potato soup, steak fries, and mushrooms for $165.

Very expensive steakhouse, which is okay I will take it for a top of the line steak. I visited this place a couple of years ago and went today, there was a drop in the quality of food. We ordered the tomahawk steak medium stew, which was not very tender and too much fat in it. For the appetizers, we ordered the wedge salad which was a small portion compared to my previous experience.
The restaurant is at a great location and very well maintained and decorated though. Also the waiter was a little bit pushy in her way to make us order the food and at the end to pay the bill.

I did not have high Hope's for bull & bourbon based on the reviews but 20 dollars for a prime rib dinner I had to try it firstly the prime rib was 25 to 30 percent fat the actual prime rib reminded me of a lower quality buffet and the mashed potatoes were very bland the bread and butter were good the butter had like a fruit taste it was good and the bourbon was good and strong the staff was friendly it's a Casino so there's plenty of parking I would have gave it 2 stars but the price was good so I gave it 3 the atmosphere was good really nice looking restaurant

I don’t know what everyone else is talking about, but the Filet I got, and the Barrel Aged Old Fashioned, were both amazing!! The staff was over the top nice. I felt like Royalty. The atmosphere was also absolutely wonderful. Great job!! I hope Sycuan pays their staff well?

So disappointed. We were so looking forward to a great steak and treating ourselves at an expensive place- ordered the porterhouse, and bone in New York, both were SO tough our knives could barely get the job done.
Sides of asparagus and mashed potatoes were good. Mac and cheese was actually terrible.
Bread and butter was amazing! I will dream of that butter.
They made me a sangria and it was amazing!
Workers were great, and very attentive.
They comped the Mac and cheese after we told them we didn't need a to-go box because it was bad.

Great looking steakhouse. Our server was Sam. Aside from outstanding service, he was very attentive and knowledgeable about the different steaks. It was a Wednesday, and they had a surf and turf deal (steak and lobster - $55). I went with the surf and turf, and my fiancé went with the Delmonico Ribeye. We had our steaks medium rare and they came out great. The Delmonico was amazingly delicious. My steak could use a bit more seasoning, but overall it was good. I will definitely come back soon and try the other steaks.

I’ve been here several times and every time it’s always been a fabulous experience!! This last time we had Lukas as our waiter and he was EXCEPTIONAL! He was extremely attentive and explained everything very well. Efram was always EXCELLENT TOO! Our dishes were always cleared and water was refilled without asking.

Onto the food: their wedge salad and French onion soup is a must! We ordered the $29 filet and lobster special on Wednesday and it was the perfect size . The lobster wasn’t over cooked and the filet was a perfect medium rare.

We also got the T bone. It’s a great value for $48 and definitely could serve 2 people. It was presented so beautifully and also cooked perfectly.

Don’t skip on their NY cheesecake which is actually flown in from Brooklyn.
