My main dish was very tasty. I wasn't as crazy about the margarita, but that is generally true for me at many places. I really like a less sweet margarita and this one was too sweet for me.

It's your classic bar and grill with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. One fun surprise was the unique popcorn they served--it had a little kick to it and was really tasty. All of our dishes came with little American flags, which was a festive touch. The kids also loved checking out the fun statues outside while we were there. The only downside was that our beers were served almost warm, which was a little disappointing. Other than that, we enjoyed our stop and appreciated having a place to celebrate the holiday weekend.

Everything came out piping hot and fresh. We ordered mozzarella sticks, tater tot barrels, chicken wings, burgers, and 1/4 order of nachos (which was huge). On the chicken wings we ordered Jamaican curry rub, garlic parmesan and sweet red chili sauces. All three were good but my favorite was the garlic parm sauce. If in the area again, I would definitely go back.

I highly suggest the ham and cheese balls with moonshine sauce as an appetizer. The fish sandwich is very well proportioned and filling! I really haven't had one bad item, ever! The burgers are fantastic and the Castle Cream Ale is very cold in washing down the last bite. The beef is from the local meat market so if you need some good cuts of meat for the lake house/campsite/etc. be sure to stop by Thielen's Meats one block north! The wraps kick butt! Spend a day on the lake, then head to Bootlegger's for a great meal and a cold brew. Don't forget to buy a t-shirt! They are great conversation starters when you leave the wilds of Minnesota and return to the grind of the real world!
