Highlighted review: "Awesome first visit to Hungry Bull!! ... The food came out pretty quickly and we've read great things about the fries. And they were right!! ... The burger was on another level and way better than I expected. Buttery brioche bun, perfectly cooked burger... and I loved the "bull sauce" which was like their signature sauce. The Rt. 10 was everything I wanted in a burger!"

It can be dangerous to name a restaurant after a type of food because there's no coming back from over-promising and under-delivering when it comes to delicious food.
That isn't a problem for this Fairfield County restaurant.
