We were visiting in the area and stopped by Bulls and Bears for lunch. The service was quick and our waitress was super friendly.
For my drink, I got the Peach Moscato Sangria and loved it. We started off with the crab dip as an appetizer which was the perfect temperature and had a great flavor. As for entrees, my fiancé got the chicken and waffle sandwich which he enjoyed. I took a bite of the waffle and it was very tasty. As for the bacon jam burger, I was left disappointed. The “jam” itself was more like a salsa than a jam? It tasted like a thin layer of chunky salsa on top of the burger instead of a more traditional jelly/jam that I’m used to. I also just didn’t love the flavor of it that much.
Overall, the food and service was good. If we are in town again, we’d consider revisiting.
Service was great and place was very clean. Food was good but the mushroom truffle flatbread was supposed to have shaved truffles and truffle oil and it had neither so that was disappointing. Mashed potatoes had perfect texture but were underseasoned. Greenbeans were very good.
Solid beer selection and decent menu. I was tempted by the poke bowl (it was meh) but all the dishes had generous portion sizes. Atmosphere is chill and staff is helpful
I've been to Bulls and Bears several times over the years and I've always enjoyed the food. The selection has always stayed fairly broad. It's nice to go to a place and see new items every so often. This time I tried the Szechuan Short Ribs. The dish was well presented although it had a little too much fat on it. My wife was the winner of the night. She ordered the chicken Baltimore and it was delicious. The Old Bay cream sauce was just right. A lot of things made with old bay and end up being too salty. A chicken was lightly breaded and deep fried but still juicy. We both had a side of broccoli that was good and while I had a side of rice she had a side of mashed potatoes which went great with the old bay cream sauce. My only advice would be to put a little more crab on top. Both of our meals were $24 a piece. If you're not familiar with bulls and bears they have a nice layout inside a cool building but still have outside seating on the sidewalk. Our server did an awesome job. He was truly working his tail off since he was the only server working on a Saturday night. Luckily we went early. I feel bad for the guy.
Glad we found this place while we were visiting Hagerstown. Very nice establishment. Service was excellent and pleasant. We sat outside they had an awning to keep the hot sun off us. The most important part was the food it was fabulous. My wife had a salmon spinach salad with a special dressing and she loved it. I had an Angus mushroom cheeseburger and I asked if they really could cook it medium. Most every other place if you ask for medium you get medium well. She told me they know how to cook burgers properly. She was right. It may have been the best burger I have ever had. Many burgers have little taste other than what you put on top. Not this one it was delicious. I wish we had a bowls and bears restaurant in our town We would frequent it often.
Food was great - Huge portions. I got the Crab Madame and it was delicious. I will definitely be back.
Such a delightful place and the quality of the food,service,, and atmosphere was to a T ,which is my preference.
