Came here for the first time to meet up with friends, it was a great choice. The vibe was really friendly and the food was good. My son ordered the black and blue burger, he said it was really good. There were a lot of TV’s to catch the college football games. Brian our bartender/server was so nice and so attentive. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area visiting friends.

We decided to try something new for date night and we definitely were not disappointed!! Service was prompt and friendly. We shared the fried asparagus appetizer and the ribeye/shrimp dinner. Everything was absolutely delicious, steak was cooked well and could be cut with a fork. We will absolutely be back!

This was our first time visiting Bootleggers and it did not disappoint. Our server Bryan was courteous, lively, and knowledgeable about the menu when asking for suggestions. The food was absolutely delicious. My husband had the Smash Burger which was recommended by Bryan and I had the Tri Tip Masher Dinner. We will definitely make this place one to come visit for our dates and when we don't feel like cooking.

I've never been disappointed by the food here. The pita fries, garlic fries, tater-tot-chos and tacos are all good. So are the sliders and burgers. Everything I've tried has been tasty and (IMO) reasonably priced. There's a good number of TVs to watch games and the staff have always been friendly.

A favorite neighborhood restaurant. I had a burger and wheat beer and my husband had the Cuban sandwich. I love the homemade chips!!

It's so great to have a neighborhood pub like this in our area. The serving staff is very friendly and attentive. They checked in on us at the right times and didn't hover around. The bar is well stocked with good whiskey. The food was terrific! I had the "Vegetarian... not" burger(pictured below) with extra crispy fries. The atmosphere is really good and the music is great. The one thing that doesn't really add to the atmosphere were the TV's with sports playing on it. The environment didn't need it. The sports just seemed like a distraction. There was a ton of people in there that were laughing, talking and having a great time. This pub could be on it's way to becoming the "Cheers" of this neighborhood. I'm interested to see how it plays out. All in all, I'm absolutely coming back.
