Bully Boy

"After being closed for well over a year due to the pandemic, seafood restaurant Bully Boy reopened last fall, and with a new Japanese kaiseki-inspired menu. The restaurant first opened in 2018 offering a menu filled with East Coast seafood-driven dishes. Now, with a new multi-course menu, Bully Boy features a succession of small plates progressing from fresh oysters and hamachi kama to grilled octopus and whole fish preparations paired with beer, wine, sake, and cocktails." - Eater Staff

"Since Bully Boy opened off the Eastside BeltLine trail behind Two Urban Licks in 2018, it’s offered Atlantans a relaxed, Japanese seafood spot that does a little bit of everything. Start by slurping down a dozen Blue Point oysters before you move onto a couple of sushi rolls (we like the Godzilla roll with spicy salmon) and flaky red snapper or scallops over creamy risotto. Because they do many things well, bring a few friends so you can order more kaiseki-style plates." - nina reeder, juli horsford

"Sitting just off the Eastside Beltline trail, Bully Boy is a relaxed, Japanese-leaning seafood spot where you can take a small group to enjoy a massive menu of top-notch small plates. Newcomers join the parade of cars circling the parking lot trying to decipher how to park legally without the danger of being towed. But regulars, all too familiar with the nightmares of parking here, know to use Two Urban Licks’s valet. Once inside, an oasis of greenery, with potted plants and trees stuffed between virtually every table, awaits. The noisy garden-esque setting pairs well with the shareable kaiseki-style menu packed with oysters and solid sushi rolls. But to really make the most of dinner here get the seared scallops with a creamy risotto or the flaky red snapper that comes out whole. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair" - Juli Horsford

"Did you know that seafood restaurant Bully Boy is now serving to-go sushi on the Eastside Beltline? You can find them parked on the patio at sister restaurant Two Urban Licks on Saturdays." - Beth McKibben

"After being closed for well over a year due to the ongoing pandemic, seafood restaurant Bully Boy reopened this past weekend, and with a new Japanese kaiseki-inspired menu. The restaurant first opened in 2018 offering an East Coast seafood-driven menu of dishes from chef Michael Bertozzi, including Virginia oyster sliders, barbecue Georgia shrimp, and yellow fin tuna wraps, alongside larger portions such as lobster frites, blue crab omurice-style fried rice, and clam chowder carbonara. Now under the direction of chef Colby Cooper, this new, multi-course menu features a succession of small plates progressing from fresh oysters and hamachi kama to grilled octopus and whole fish preparations paired with beer, wine, sake, and cocktails." - Beth McKibben
