Our first time at Bully's! made a res for 7:00, got to the bar for a cocktail at 6:30. Gorgeous interior of this fine dining, yet casual restaurant. We loved the eclectic mix of people gathered there. Carol the bartender was so sweet and kind to us; we ended up going to a high top in the bar area so she was also our server. So very friendly and checked on us at each stage of the experience even though it was a very busy Friday night. The New Zealand mussels were delicious, huge and meaty. We tried a cup of their bison chili and roasted pepper gouda soup. wonderful but the chili is definitely spicy! For dinner we had The seafood mac & cheese and duck confit. Seafood mac was sooooo rich, we knew immediately it would be 2 meals. The duck confit was crispy and juicy - prepared perfectly. Garlic mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were fantastic. They have an extensive spirits/cocktail list, and a huge selection of interesting beers. We saw at least 10 dishes we really wanted to try, its a very impressive menu. When you have amazing food, and wonderful staff, you can't go wrong.

Stopped in based on a recommendation from a local and were not disappointed. Great ambience with lots of tin work and am old school wooden bar. Decent beer selection and the food was excellent. We would certainly return.

Hidden gem. Food is "heavy" but extremely ambitious and well executed. Not a ton of veggie options, but solid for pescatarians. Homemade ice cream is a must try. Love the historic vibes of the place.

The chefs are the rock star ... The food is delicious good! We order corn on the cob for appetizer and MAC spicy with seafood and it was outstanding. Drinks was well made and service was friendly and happy. The difference between a return visit or not. thanks Kathy and all of you who try hard in service and show your best. ...

We love the ambiance at Bully's Inn. The food was excellent and the place was packed. They were totally booked when I made the reservation, but said that they may be able to seat us in the bar area on a high-top table, and they did. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious.

We were speechless. Words can't describe our expierence. Incredible service. Food was incredible. Their bacon jam burger was heaven. Their beer Bible topped it off. We loved everything and then some. Such a wonderful night. We will be back again.

HIDDEN GEM OF COLUMBIA, PA. Went here for dinner last night and was blown away. It is very unassuming from the outside but the food is incredible, especially for the price. We got a number of items, all incredible in their own ways. Each dish is the most elevated version is could be. The potato wedges, the bao buns, the bacon burger, the steak with blue cheese sauce and one of the pizzas. I will absolutely be coming back here and selfishly hope not many people find out about this place. Service was great as well.
