Wow so happy we found this place ! Look for the metal bull sign because there is no name on the building . Can't say enough about the service , the food and the atmosphere. You MUST try this place if you are in Beaufort! Well thought out menu, and great wine selection too!

Great menu, great food, nice dining space, poor service, which is a darn shame. Restaurant was not short staffed. We felt rushed to order as soon as we sat down for our 6 pm reservation. Waiter asked if we were ready to order 5 min after sitting down and at same time when he was taking our first drink order. Waiter was not interested with helping us out with local beer selection and he seemed bothered by it. One answer to one of our questions was "I don't know" well if you don't know, that's fine, but that is when you say, "let me check with the bartender". It took 10 min for drinks to arrive, ok, but when they arrived the waiter asked, again, if we were ready to order? No, would like to enjoy our drink first, review menu and then order. It was 615 at this time. He then disappeared for a good period of time. By 630 he returned and we asked for a second round of drinks and advised we would order dinner when he bought the drinks. Waiter then informed us he needed to turn this/our table by 8 pm so best to order now. It is not the customer's fault it took the Waiter 30 minutes to bring two rounds of drinks. We would have been out of there by 730, even without him saying anything. We felt rushed and the whole thing was just one awkward exchange. If this was a diner or mediocre restaurant, it wouldnt have phased us,, but if your spending $150 for two, including tip, service should be up to par and it wasnt, actually borderline rude. I had read about this restaurant and was so excited and looking forward to trying them on our first visit to Beaufort. The food was excellent, comfortable hip dining room but no triple crown. Would never go back. The night before we we ate at The Shelring Ale House. They definitely won the triple crown! Great room to enjoy some drafts on the water, very tasty & good quality food truck menu and the friendliest folks working there who were so nice. Definitely going back.

Excellent service and dinner. The stampede for bar seats appears a bit ridiculous might reserve these to better represent the quality you are.., Sure there are more humane options to eliminate it thanks

We had one of the best meals that I’ve had in a long time! The local shrimp with garlic was exceptional and we really enjoyed the house made fettuccine spoleto with pancetta and the Madrileno wood-fired pizza. Our server Kat was excellent! We will be back!

Always a good experience at Old Bull. This time I had the anchovy appetizer. Fantastic. I also went with a blue cheese burger which was prepared perfectly. My husband had the wasabi deviled eggs and Spoleto pancetta. He thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to our next visit. This place is a favorite.

We had a reservation at 6:45 pm in the Bar Dining. I had a friend visiting from out of town. This was her first visit to Beaufort.We were seated a little late which was no problem for us.Our waiter was Hector. We ordered drinks to start. After receiving our drinks we looked ant the menu and ordered a salad to share with 2 entrees. Ordered a second drink while waiting for our entrees.Our entrees were delivered after a longer than usual wait, we did not mind as we were enjoying our evening. The plates looked great.We started to eat our dinners and our waiter Hector, came up to the table to say our table was reserved at 8:30 pm and we would need to finish and pay our check so they could reset the table. It was about 8:15. We were not even half way through our plates. He said the restaurant has a policy of 1 hr and 45 min table limit (he said it was noted on our reservation and their website, it is not anywhere written that we could find) and if we wanted dessert we would need to move to a different table. At no time did he even ask how our dinner was.We told him we were going to eat our dinners and he left.A few minutes later, we were still eating and he brought the manager, Josh, with him and he told us we didn’t understand about running a restaurant and we needed to finish and pay so the next party could be seated. He was completely unprofessional and out of line. They both were. Josh left the table saying please leave now loud enough for surrounding tables to hear. It was humiliating.Hector brought a coffee to my friend, got our checks and paid. Did not tip the waiter and when we stopped at the hostess stand on the way out to ask the owners name, Josh came up behind the person we were speaking with, leaned in and said “Go” and used a hand gesture. These two staff members do not in anyway understand what it is to carry themselves with professionalism and respect of others.We will never return here nor would we encourage anyone to dine here. It’s a shame as we are local and like supporting small businesses. There are many, many other fantastic options for dining in Beaufort, definitely select somewhere other than Old Bull Tavern.

Great food & customer service! Usually gets filled so I would recommend arriving early or making reservations. A great place to gather for dinner. You won't regret it.
