Bullfinch Brewpub

We went out for my birthday and didn’t reserve a restaurant, everything was several hours of waiting so we decided to give this place a try, it wasn’t super busy so we went in. It was a little slow to get service but once we got service it’s was incredible, our server Chris was attentive funny and on top of anything we could need. The beer was good the food was awesome, the owner came by and chatted with us, they live music was good too. Very good vibe, love that it’s locally owned and brewed. We’ll be back for sure!

When first entering, we were treated with, Welcome Friends! It just got better from there. We sat at the bar, as we were only having a couple drink’s & appetizers. The bartender, John, was extremely friendly & very attentive. I tried a couple of their beers, and was pleasantly surprised. I got an IPA & a stout, sorry but I forgot to note their names. The IPA is a regular for them, but the stout was not. It’s only on their menu for a little while. We got the Duck Bacon Wontons & Pepper Rings. Wow!! They were both so good! It was nice to have a “different “ app! We will definitely go back any time we are in the area!

I had the blackened rooster wrap which was so juicy and flavorful. I also love homemade chips. My husband got the brewers Big Mac, which normally comes on a pretzel roll but they were out of because it’s so popular! Still juicy and delicious either way.

My husband and I had lunch here today, our first visit. Loved the atmosphere. For an appetizer we had the Duck Bacon Wontons (Yummy!!! Forgot to get a pic before stuffing my face lol). For an entree my husband had The Sherman (brisket sandwich topped with coleslaw and Carolina bbq sauce - that sauce was so flavorful and delicious, he asked for an extra side of it lol!) and I had The Irishman (burger topped with cheese, caramelized onions, arugula and a lemon aioli), the food was great! The Hex Hefe brew was light and tasty. Our server Jordan was very kind and the owner Dave came around to check in. He explained how everything is made in house, which is a plus and why everything was fresh and on point. Will definitely be coming back!

Had a very nice meal at Bullfinch. Had the Prismatic Spray, it was delicious. Had the old bay wings, delicious. Had the fan favorite, delicious. My wife had the brewer's Cobb salad, delicious! We loved everything we had here, the menu appears simple enough to nail everything on the menu, with enough variety to please almost everyone. Our server was wonderful and appropriately attentive. Food and drink were fairly priced and not a complaint to be had in the aforementioned.

Things we noticed, we went early on a Wednesday before 5pm and the restaurant was mostly empty. For how busy it wasn't, it took an extra minute or two for someone to seat us, no big deal as we imagine at the time we are eating limited staff on hand/getting ready for a much busier dinner rush.

While we were eating there was a gentleman who was at the hostess table looking at a menu. Don't know if he wanted to eat but he left before possibly anyone even noticed to greet him. A few minutes later a couple arrived and they waited a good 5 to 10 minutes without anyone seeming to see or acknowledge them. They did wait and were seated.

I mention those simply because those details do matter for overall experience. And for how enjoyable our meal was and the staff were, I want to see Bullfinch succeed. We will absolutely be back for more. Enjoy!!
