Good food, good service, great atmosphere, very family friendly. Bar tenders are fast and friendly. Great place to go for entertainment whether it’s a small band during the week or a large event on the weekends. I’ve always had a good time here.

I certainly didn't expect to have such high-quality food at a sports bar. The food was fantastic! I had the pork chop with dream beans and white cheddar mac and cheese, and everything was just delicious! Our server Cadence was a real sweetheart and an excellent server, too. We will certainly be back! Also, with all the huge screen TVs, this would be an excellent place for watching ball games.

Great New Party Venue!! Super friendly and helpful staff lots of games and video screens and flat screen tvs on every wall to cheer on your favorite sports teams! Then when we show up to ROCK the House the party is on, Pics included

Great place to play arcade games, pool, or grab a bite to eat. After Super Bowl 2025 Sunday they will closed at 8pm.

We visited the Bullpen for the first time today with a party of 4 and a baby. We had fried pickles (Yum!), artichoke dip (ok, not the warm kind), the big pretzel with cheese (cheese isn't the best), hot Buffalo and teriyaki wings (in picture), one large do-it-yourself pizza, and a few virgin drinks from the bar. Of course, taking home leftovers. The place is awesome. Clean, games of all kinds, TVs and large screens on every wall. Our waitress was awesome (ask for Ally), the hostesses were awesome, and person bringing our food was awesome. We came before any dinner rush on a Wed night. We had no wait time on service or food except the pizza - if you like provel cheese you're gonna love it. This is a new business opening at a hard time and they'll need patience. We had a good experience and will come again. There are lots of things for lots of people to do - pool tables, a juke box, arcade games, a large jenga set (needs to be played on carpet!!!), corn hole, and I'm sure more. Family friendly and was SO great to go to a place we haven't been to a million times. We asked a ton of questions and Ally was super patient. I give it 5 stars and now we know what we love and what we'd do differently next time.

What an amazing place to kick back, relax, and have a hot delicious meal. I was traveling through the area and I saw the sign from the highway and decided to stop in. I was not disappointed! The place was clean and the staff was super friendly. The food was simply amazing! I ordered the ribeye with mashed potatoes and greens beans and I felt like I was at a five star restaurant. You must stop in! If you live in the area you are really lucky to have such a great place in your community!

The food was hot, fresh and full of flavor! Sodas were good as well! Will definitely be coming back!

The Bullpen hits it out of the park! Great restaurant to take your date or family. With a game room, corn hole, darts and pool tables to keep you busy while waiting on that delicious food, the friendly staff keeps your drinks topped off. With large screen TV's and your favorite games projected on walls, you're welcome to stay for the live music or DJ which rounds out the night's entertainment. Two great bar areas include a wide selection of adult beverages and a separate adult gaming room if you like. All-in-all The Bullpen is definitely a home run!
