Old Bull Tavern

We had the Escargot, Gnocchi, pork chop and pineapple upside down cake. Everything was amazing. Sydney our server was great. Oscar the owner and his team gave us a great experience and were very hospitable. You owe it to yourself to stop in and enjoy what they have to offer. Thanks again Oscar for your hospitality and amazing food.

The service was fantastic, our waiter Hector was so pleasant and personable, we sat outside the weather was perfect lighting was great the food was 10/10 I had the duck breast with garlic mashed potatoes and veggies. Chef's 😘 the Tiramisu was the best I've had and I'm not a huge fan of it but theirs was amazing. I also had "The painkiller" drink (think of a Pina colada)it was sooo good. I want to drink that every weekend lol. I was dining with friends we were visiting from Pennsylvania. I would definitely eat here again next time I'm in South Carolina ❤️

4.2 stars for me, the place was busy for a Wed night, but we found a seat pretty quickly. Drinks were not expensive, but I felt the food was a little high for the portion size for my particular meal. I ordered the duck breast, it was really good, but the sides were hardly existent. After about an hour wait, I got half of duck breast, a couple veggies and about a table spoon of delicious butternut squash. For a $25 dinner, I was hoping for more. The pork chop meal was a much larger portion size, sides included. If you want a big meal, avoid the duck, the lamb shank was recommended. The upside down pineapple cake was amazing as well. Overall a good place to eat, service was spot on.

Update: Took friends who just moved here to Old Bull. Reserved a seat in the bar area (booths) about 30 days in advance. We were seated in the back against a wall by the bathroom. When asked about the bar booth seating reservation, she replied they were "committed". I believe these are reserved for long time local residents. I get it. Our server was frazzled. We were rushed through dinner. He said their policy is to take the entire food order at once. Part of my party wasn't sure how hungry they would be after the appetizers but the waiter would not order the apps for the table until he had everyone's dinner order, essentially holding our hungry stomachs hostage. He became more frazzled, curt and condescending. It was uncomfortable and disappointing. I have been to very high end restaurants that require that you put your entire food order in, but after many visits to OB, I have not had this happen. The food was the same and not good enough to warrant constantly being treated like second class citizens. A go-to favorite of mine on a side street in Beaufort, reminiscent of a speakeasy. To score a seat in this quaint, cozy and eclectic restaurant is like hitting the lottery. Sit in the bar or at the bar for the best ambience. The menu offers foods from yesteryear (liver wurst, for example) along with delicious and flavorful dishes. A simple burger will make your tastebuds sing in glee. The owner makes you feel special, as does Sidney, the front manager. The bartenders are top notch professionals. The reason for only 4 stars is that the waiter we had wasn't excellent or bad, but rather indifferent, as if he couldn't care less if we were there. Looking forward to the next time, though!

Old fashioned pub setting. Fantastic people. The food was not just amazing, it was an EXPERIENCE! I ate an Angus tenderloin with garlic mash, carrots, and green beans. John ate ricotta gnocchi and shrimp. Pineapple upside down cake was dessert with a toasted coconut ice cream, all homemade with a brown butter (?) drizzle. My beverage was a frozen concoction named the Beaufort Painkiller, a mixture of rums, orange juice and nutmeg. The owner was humble and super friendly! I will go back as soon as I can make another trip! John and I both think this was one of the best meals we've EVER had!

We have been trying to eat here for a few years now when we are on vacation in the Beaufort area and typically can’t get in - but we remembered to make reservations ahead of time this year and were so thankful we did! The food, the atmosphere…top notch! Everyone in our party loved their food but especially the black olive tapenade & goat cheese toast! Everything was delicious and we can’t wait to return on our next trip.
