We love to go to Bootleggers for all you can eat fish and chips on Fridays, they have super delish perch and fries. But the best part is having Juan as our server! He is so awesome. Friendly, efficient, helpful, he literally anticipates everything, including extra tartar sauce in your to-go box. The perch is great, the service is excellent, and it's an older crowd for the all you can eat fish until 9pm-ish. Highly recommend. And say hi to wonderful Juan with the great smile for us!

Place is pretty cool. It was listed as a sports bar....they have tvs and the game was on mute. They were playing music. I would've dug this place way more if I wasn't looking for a place to watch the game. The burger was really good and servers very nice. So they get points for that.

Arrived at 12:15 at 1:40 still waiting on our food plenty of open tables waitress did not revisit our table or provide refills the entire time. At 2:07 I had to go to the bar to ask for our bill to pay for the sodas we had ACTUALLY received and our waitress said they had just finished serving the other side of the restaurant and the kitchen was still backed up it would be a while for our food. No thanks! Over 2 hrs of waiting and didnt even get our appetizers. Go someqhere else. Would not recommend!

First of all let me say our waitress Allie was five star. She noticed I wasn't comfortable in the high top chairs and she brought a little bucket out for me to put my feet on. I had the buffalo chicken wings they were very good someone else had the butter garlic wings and they were also very tasty not greasy at all. I believe Allie went above and beyond she gave us water and then she gave us water for our containers and then she brought us a picture of water with lemon. The only thing negative I had to say is the free popcorn was a little too salty. It was free so that's a plus. The Santa Fe egg rolls were very good and the sweet and sour sauce had a bite to it which was a big surprise. I hate sweet and sour but this was sweet and bite It was very good.Vegetarian options: I think you'd have to ask and question.Kid-friendliness: I think it's bar food but it looks a little kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: You can't just roll on in but I think it is doable in a wheelchair.Dietary restrictions: It seems they are very accommodating with diet restrictions.

This place isn't bad, but just not for me.It's VERY LOUD and crowded inside on a Friday night and we had to shout the whole time.There are no real vegetarian food options other than fries. My chicken sandwich was okay, but could have used more sauce or seasoning. My friends really enjoyed their burgers.Service was pretty good, but they are strict about not letting me bring water bottles inside (even empty).Drinks were great, I'd recommend it for that! I'd recommend this place if you don't mind it being loud inside, you like a good beef burger, and you want tasty alcoholic drinks.Vegetarian options: Just fries and cheesy fries.

Told my buddy his eyes were glossy and she felt “uncomfortable” to serve him. Art D. would be ashamed if he knew this was happening. First hour of my bachelor party and sober and got “cut off”. Wouldn’t pay for those mozz sticks if someone held a gun to my head.

Had the sliders and fries, cooked just right, tender and tasty. Good fries too! Had Bloody Marys, but just ok.
