Bull’s on Broadway is now open inside The Spot (1010 W. Broadway) in Bradley. This is the second restaurant for Ryan (a.k.a. “Bull”) Wilder, who opened Bull’s Pit Smoked Barbecue in Kankakee last year.

The Bull’s on Broadway menu is still heavy on the barbecue, but with new offerings, too. Appetizers include Irish Nachos, an awesome combination of French fries, melted cheese, bacon pieces and a drizzle of Ranch dressing. Sandwiches include an Ultimate Grilled Cheese, made with Parmesan-crusted Texas toast, three kinds of cheese and bacon. Then there are the pub burgers. Choosing from the eight options on the menu (including the BBQ burger, Western Burger, Extreme Cheese Burger and Bull’s Gut Buster) is tough, but I can’t resist the unusual, so I ordered The Hangover Burger. It comes topped with cheese and a fried egg, and it was delicious. See photos below.

Bull’s on Broadway is open Tuesday through Sunday. Lunch hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; dinner service starts at 5 p.m. and stays open depending on how busy the bar is. Their phone number is (815) 935-9971.

As for the Kankakee Bull’s location, Ryan is completing the paperwork for a liquor license, and he expects to add  beer and wine to the menu by early this summer. He also told me their sweet tea is excellent with Malibu Rum, so expect to see that offered, also. Ryan isn’t sure what he’ll call the concoction, though, so if you have any good ideas, you can leave a comment below.
