So I stumbled on this place searching on google for soft serve ice cream, which I never seem to find. You may think that silly but I love a great chocolate soft serve cone and I never seem to be able to find anyone who makes it anymore. It seems like most places serve only yogurt 🥲 If you’re as silly as I am, look no further my soft serve ice cream lover. They even make it from scratch in-house!!! Oh and the rest of their food is good too! 😂

Amazing place! We come here several times a month! Love how they have a kids play area for the little ones to play while you wait for your food! Plus they have outdoor games as well as pinball machines! The black, blue and bbq burger is AMAZING!!! Their bbq sauce is the best I’ve ever had. And their pickles are absolutely AMAZING! I honestly recommend this place to EVERYONE!

I really want to like this place, but my first two visits (Wednesday afternoon, Tuesday evening), the service was friendly, but unreasonably slow. (like 30m with an empty dining room) And the food portions inconsistent. After seeing 8 different “pocket” burritos, I saw a variation of more than 2x from the smallest to largest. I really enjoyed the Broc' n Roll Burrito, I think this is my new favorite burrito. The Fitness in My Mouth (fried chicken) burrito was really good but extremely salty. And the Lipstick on a Pig (collards and bbq) burrito, was interesting and delicious, but a bit heavy for the regular rotation. The french fries would have been really good if they had been served hot, but instead they were barely warm so just ok. They had so many problems getting our orders to us that they brought us 2 tokens for free ice cream... We attempted to redeem them for a brownie sundae, but the ice cream machine didn't seem to be working, so after waiting another 15+ minutes, we just accepted a cold brownie with no ice cream and cut our losses.

We love Bull City Solera as an easy dinner out option for parents of young children. The service is super fast and the food is very good (it’s all pretty standard bar fare but they do it well). You certainly get a good value as well. There are entire play areas for young children as well as arcade games, so it really does suit all ages. Plenty of seating inside and out and all the servers and bartenders are really nice. Plus the kids meals are enormous!

I’ve been going here for years. The milkshakes are the best in town. Also the fries are really good when I ask them for no seasoning. It’s not bad but I like them just salty. Oh and the Solera beer is one of my favorites! Great relaxed place

it's been a while since we'd been here, and the menu has lots of new stuff (but still lots of classics!). we got burritos, with a chips and salsa appetizer (don't sleep on these chips). we also had their Solera Ale while we waited for our food, and it was phenomenal. the staff is friendly and courteous and the chill vibe is very welcoming (: one small gripe is the shredded lettuce they used in burrito. it's totally restaurant standard, so I can't fault them, but if you also don't like shredded lettuce, maybe ask for a different green?

We got burritos (chicken and breakfast) both were good and fresh nothing super special but enjoyable! I like the size options! I’d like to try burgers next time! Also the soda machine was fun - nothing extra special but really felt fun as someone opting to not drink alcohol! The outdoor patio is way nicer than you’d expect for the location! It’s a nice vibe.
