The Bull's Pen Cafe — Restaurant in Mesquite

Went for lunch. Wasnt busy when we arrived. Was set down quickly and had pur drinks arrive shortly after taken. Unfortunately did not have one of our preferred drink so had to get water. Place our food order for chicken fried steak with yams, mash potatoes, and salad, and on order of the chicken fried chicken with mash potatoes, peaches, and a salad. Simple salad with some tomatos and preferred dressing, was quite good. Main plates came out shortly after and my chicken was really well seasoned but the steak needed a bit more, and cooked to perfection. The mash potatoes, we both thought, were not on the freshes side, but still taste nice with a bit more salt and pepper. I did not try the yams but was told they were well seasoned, sweet, and tender. The peaches were from a can so you know they were fresh and good, and yes can/frozen fruits/vegs are usually fresher then open fruits/veg because they are canned/frozen at peak freshness. Service was straight forward and nice. Would definitely...

I remember many years ago my mother and I use to go eat at this steakhouse all the time.. I had a different name then.. years later my husband and I went to eat at this steakhouse now known as The Bull Pen... It was not a good experience.. the salad was not good or fresh at all.. I don't know why the ranch is super watery... The chicken fried steak was ok.. but my baked potato 🥔 was just awful.. really really hard.. and not made right.. my husband's mash potatoes... Completely bland.. the good thing was my daughters bullpen burger.. she loved it... To top it all off.. our waitress was so rude.. everything I asked for was brought to us with a bad attitude.. my husband didn't even eat his food.. so we waisted $55 dollars for a bad experience.. if you go to this establishment.. do yourself a favor.. order all your sides and toppings like extra ranch,cheese,or anything all at once.. so you can avoid...

Beware of ever trying to bring a large group to this establishment. Owner is not accommodating and rather recommended our party of around 30 or so to have our breakfast at Martinez Restaurant down the road. For the past 3 Saturdays we have been coming here for breakfast, we have enjoyed the service and food, it’s been remotely smooth, and that’s with one server, who has done an excellent job. However, today the owner came by and told our group that his usual customers have complained of the fact that their normal seating is thrown off. Because of this minor inconvenience, the owner has steered away a large customer base, and what any restaurant would see as large profit for the weekend. So sad, that the owner did not consider our group at all. We will not be...
