Bullwinkle's promotes itself as a "family-friendly restaurant featuring an American menu, a full…read morebar, live music, and outdoor games." We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon at 12:00 PM--perhaps a bit early for live music or games. Nonetheless, we found a full bar, a classic American menu, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options.
Located on Woodruff Rd in the Five Forks area, Bullwinkle's is situated directly across from Publix and behind a strip center, literally occupying the ground floor of a Great Spaces Storage building. Parking here is plentiful.
The decor reflects the typical vibe of a sports bar/restaurant, with TVs mounted throughout, all tuned into a variety of sports. During our visit, college football, golf, soccer, and baseball were all on display, with the Manchester vs. Chelsea soccer match attracting a notable crowd.
While the restaurant is one large space, its layout allows guests to find tables or seating areas that offer a sense of privacy.
The menu includes all the expected favorites: pizza, calzones, wings, burgers, and a diverse selection of other items. The pizza is particularly popular, and they boast an extensive craft beer list.
Our server was busy but attentive, and the food was quite good--though I would suggest cooking the wings a bit longer for optimal flavor.
Although Bullwinkle's is a little off the beaten path, it's definitely worth a visit!
