We always count on Bully Ranch for our Thanksgiving meal. To our shock, when we sat down for our 6:30pm reservation, the waiter told us that no Thanksgiving meals were available. Thankfully, the manager/hostess was accommodating and found 3 turkey dinners in the building. They were delicious - turkey was perfectly seasoned and cooked, cranberry sauce tasted homemade, mashed potatoes were tasty, stuffing was yummy, and carrots were fine. Best of all, we didn't have to cook or clean up, and we enjoyed a casual, delicious Thanksgiving meal with our teenaged boys who licked the plates clean. I highly encourage BR to have enough Thanksgiving meals available on the holiday and urge diners to make sure they note that they want one when they reserve the table.

We celebrated a wonderful Thanksgiving here! They prepared a Thanksgiving special for the day, so everyone in our group selected that. The entire staff was kind and accommodating, and we were seated prior to our reservation time.

While I love the Bully Ranch and will definitely go back. I feel they had an off night on the food. We had a terrific server Diego and service was great.
