We came here for dinner before a boat cruise and it was fine but nothing special. I didn't want a big meal so I got the New England clam chowder and a shrimp scampi appetizer. The shrimp was soaking in butter which might appeal to some people but I didn't care for it. My friend got the cod fish and chips and the fish looked a bit overcooked and the fries were waffle fries. He finished his entire meal so I guess he liked it. read more

We came here after the beach and we sat on the patio where you can watch the boats go by and the bridge go up and down. The service was great! He was so attentive and informative, he even brought us a nice cloth to clean the baby without us asking. Husband said the beer menu was great! The cheese curds were delicious! We got them deconstructed since I don't like tajin and hubby does. The tomato sauce that came with them was also good. I ordered the chicken fingers and they were just ok. It was a lot of dark meat and a lot of breading and some weird spots. The fries were good. Husband said his burger was just ok and a little overcooked. Overall we enjoyed our experience. read more

Just stopped by for the first time yesterday. My wife, pup, and I were looking for a late lunch. It was a slow time of the day, but I think they get busier around the afternoon cruises of the Huron Lady tour boat that boards right near Bootleggers boardwalk deck entry. First of all, service was excellent. Attentive but not overwhelming. And they took great care of my dog too! Great view, right on the river where we watched tons of recreational boaters entering and leaving Lake Huron. Now, we weren't there to toss axes, but you could if you wanted. We were just there to eat and enjoyed the food. I had a bison burger- juicy and perfectly cooked. My wife enjoyed two tacos (shrimp and brisket) and a blue slushie drink that she said was tasty and fun. read more

Song long as it's not raining sit outside. Super nice to be by the water and enjoy some good food. Usually the service is good. Can't say always is attentive but it is what it is. The food is pretty tasty and different. Decent drinks and beer options. read more

We came in on a Sunday afternoon, for an early dinner. Loved the bacon bombs & cheese curds! Tried the Elk stake- it was excellent! Daughter loved the butter chicken. Hubby had the filet- cooked correctly. Try the seasonal cocktails! Surprisingly loved the Orange passion. Ron was an excellent server with great recommendations! read more

One of the best views in Port Huron! Good is pretty good, with a wide range of options to choose from! The service is good too! read more

Love having bootleggers in downtown PH. Axe throwing is awesome and such a fun environment to be in. In the summer months, the patio near the river is beautiful and relaxing. The service is always good and food comes out relatively quick. The food is great, lots of options for pescatarians, and the drinks are solid! read more

Had the bratwurst w onions and peppers( very good ) and side of broccoli( Luke warm ) -husband had the shrimp scampi ( not hot - sent back to heat up ) and waffle fries- thought I ordered Thai chicken skewers but never arrived ( not on the bill ) so possibly miscommunication- heard they were short staffed - would like to try and give them a chance again - location on the river / axe throwing / mooncursers speakeasy downstairs ( we are not drinkers ) but definitely great atmosphere/ live entertainment- we were there also for comedy show downstairs - will give them another chance someday read more

Bootlegger's Axe Co - Bratwurst -broccoli/ shrimp scampi -waffle fries ( small portion a lil disappointing) - Axe Throwing Near Me - Port Huron, Michigan

We were vacationing in Port Huron and stopped in twice! Food was great and staff was welcoming!!

We decided to have dinner here for the first time and it was excellent.. the burgers were great and our salmon and elk steak dinners were amazing.. very surprising for a bar with axe throwing.. will go back again !! read more

This place is great. It's nice inside and super clean. It features waterside indoor/outdoor seating and there is a speakeasy underneath on the weekends with live music. The food is fantastic. I tried the elk steak with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. They have an extensive full bar list with many great beers on draft. I can't wait to return. read more

Is Bootleggers a must try restaurant alongside axe throwing? The answer is yes, and the crew at Bootleggers are the best service in town! Waitress Corrina is friendly and polite, where she took my order quickly after I came in and sat down. The brisket ramen is delicious and brings that PoHo flavor with an extra layer of love! I love the taste and the flavor of the broth. Omg! I have to admit that is the best ramen since seeing anime characters eating it! lol The ambiance is so perfect and the way the restaurant is buzzing is amazing too! read more

First time and last time coming here. Such a terrible experience. First of all we seated ourselves at the window to watch the boats. I had high hopes for this place since it's right on the water. Boy was I sadly mistaken. The waitress brought over 3 dinner rolls for the 4 of us and said they ran out! Then we ordered dinner. I ordered butter chicken no rice. When it arrived it had rice and was obviously microwaved. Some Parts were cold and others hot. She said oh they put rice on your plate - want me to have them take it off? Why didn't she just do that in the kitchen before bringing it out. They ran out of elk and wagu steaks which we found out after ordering it and getting a piece of overcooked I don't know what. It was 6:00 on a Tuesday and it's boat week. How can you run out of meat? There were only 8 total people in the place. The cook came out and spoke to the table next to us and said he searched the freezer and couldn't find any more steaks. The manager was not very helpful and seemed to care less about our experience. read more

Bootlegger's Axe Co - Butter chicken over nasty rice. - Axe Throwing Near Me - Port Huron, Michigan

Very good server. I ordered the cod dinner with onion rings, it was over cooked and I could not eat it. Others had burgers and they liked them. read more

Given its waterfront location and the boat week festivities, I expected more. Unfortunately, they had run out of several food options. I believe the staff as a whole would benefit from additional training. read more

What a terrible experience from start to finish. We went on a Tuesday evening and the place was basically empty. The menu states that free rolls are served after 3:00. The waitress brought our group of four 3 rolls and apologized they are out. No big deal at this point. One person at our table orders the elk steak, another waygu steak, one butter chicken, and I asked for the elk steak. She told me there was only one elk steak left. I decided to go with the waygu. When she brought the steaks to the table my steak looked nothing like the other two so I'm not sure what it was. The waitress said she even asked the cook because it didn't look right and he said it was right to send it. The butter chicken was half hot and half cold. It was also ordered NO rice. The waitress brought it out and even noticed and said oops they put rice anyway, can you pick it out?. Clearly microwaved which they did not deny. When cutting into my steak it was well done and was ordered medium rare, she took it back and returned 10 minutes later stating that was there last one which explains why they served me some random cut of steak. At this point I didn't even want to order. We let her know the whole experience was terrible from start to finish. Short on rolls, no steaks, cold butter chicken not made the right way which was not eaten. The waitress disappeared for a while and came back and said she was going to waive an onion ring up-charge, 15% off the butter chicken meal and remove my steak meal since I didn't get it. The cook came out and told the table behind us that he searched the entire freezer and couldn't find any steaks, they had to order soup and sides . We kinda chuckled and the manager gave us an evil eye and decided she was going to deliver the bill herself. She was not professional at all. We let her know we will not be coming back and she replied with an okay. They claim the weekend prior was busy and they ran out of a lot but by Tuesday on one of the upcoming busiest weeks in port Huron there's no reason to not have food. read more

Bootlegger's Axe Co - The Platinum Pussy shots,so good!! - Axe Throwing Near Me - Port Huron, Michigan

I'm a regular here with my family. It is usually good. But my experience today was terrible. I would not recommend anyone to go here. I came there. They sat me down. I waited 20 to 25 minutes and still didn't get my drink. So of course I left I look and my waitress is standing outside smoking. This is unacceptable. read more

This was our first time in Bootleggers, we sat out on deck it was a beautiful vie. We were greeted by Amanda, one of there great servers. We ordered there (2) chicken croissants, one with regular waffle fries on the other with sweet potato waffle fries. The sweet potato waffle fries were not fresh, my thought they were reheated. this could have been a 5-star. Our waitress was Erica, she was good, our favorite was Amanda. read more

This is an enthusiastic review for a place that punches way above its weight! This is an axe throwing place which is perfect for a fun evening for groups of friends. But I was there to eat and I have to say. I was expecting truck stop food and instead had one of the best steaks I've had in town! The garlic mashed potatoes were spectacular and even my green beans had a nice flavor. They have a carefully crafted menu with diverse food items and my group praised everything they ate. They have deck seating that overlooks the black river. The service was polite and pretty speedy as well (and I think she was a new waitress) I confess that Five stars might be a stretch but this was such a delightful surprise that I have to gush. Welcome to port huron bootleggers!!!! read more

the ramen was awful and we sent it back. There was no management that helped and we were ignored about the concern. Im not a complainer but we ordere a single soda and was still charged 3.15... i will not return read more

The service is terrible food is ok. NOT worth a return visit. Seat your self we were the one of 4 people 2 inside at bar and us. Sign said seat yourself we sat outside. Said Hi to the bartender, waitress on our way out waited 15 minutes, husband went to get her. SHE rudely said she had our stuff but didn't know we sat down. Took our order a d we never saw her. Some guy gave us our check we ask for a bag. He never returned. read more

It was a beautiful day to sit outside on their deck and enjoy a nice lunch! I had the Ahi tuna tacos and my husband had the bison burger, both were delicious! Our server was great! read more

Bootlegger's Axe Co - Ahi tuna tacos and bison burger - Axe Throwing Near Me - Port Huron, Michigan

Waffle fries and brisket sandwich were good. Elements of this were solid; such as the pretzel bun and coleslaw. However, the portion I got with the fries was small (this was the same with the rest of the group) and the brisket was sliced in a way that it felt more like roast beef. Still good flavor but it wasn't what was expected of a brisket sandwich. Portion of the onion rings was perfect for the people who got it. Would be cool if salt and pepper was available on the table. read more

A strange establishment. They have axe throwing and lots of space, but really their food is what is worth going for, along with the friendly bar staff. Would recommend. read more

Lots of fun! Great appetizers and good drinks. We did not eat a meal there but the brisket waffle fries and cheese curds were wonderful. We had a mix of drinks and the White Russian was made well and the neat whiskey pour was on point. The setting is cool with the axe throwing lanes in the front and the river-facing dining lining a huge bank of windows. read more

Table of six. Ordered two apps for the table. Was served without small plates or a serving utensil to share. We were charged an extra $.99 because one of the sides was a salad. No notation on menu that some sides had an extra charge. The food was pretty good but these other issues brings down our rating read more

Hidden Gem Alert!!! A group of 6 of us went here tonight, as first time visitors, and HOLY COW IT WAS FANTASTIC!! The staff was so friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome. The axe throwing was exciting and well-organized, with knowledgeable instructors who made it fun and safe. We all ordered different entrees, and we all raved how good they were. I ordered the Butter Chicken, which was exceptional! The portions were generous, we all had left overs to take home for tomorrow. The drink selection, especially the Revolver Reloaded, was impressive and perfectly paired with our meals. Once the word gets out about this place, I'm sure it will become the go-to spot in Port Huron. Great food, exciting activities, and a wonderful atmosphere--we can't wait to return! read more

So much fun! Our guide was fantastic. We had a great time throwing axes. The drinks were great. Food was tasty. Great date night in downtown Port Huron. read more

They cook everything here from what I am tasting. We had dinner on the deck overlooking the water. The chicken tacos are really spicy and the brisket falls apart easily but is not fatty. The smoked salmon is smoky and salty. We had a cherry cider and I loved it. read more

Great newer restaurant! Where can you go near the Thumb of Michigan (middle east side) and get Thai, Indian, Mexican, Greek, etc, dishes that are exciting to eat?!...or even in most of Michigan?! It feels like you are in another country, in a big city, in a good way! Right down town, also with great views of the river! Very friendly, helpfull and happy staff and waitresses! Give it a try, for sure! This place should be florishing if it isn't already! I am planning to go back in a few days! PS Try their famous "Butter Chicken" food from India! Shakriya! read more

Brand new place and they are still working on their process. That's the only reason for the 4 stars. The food was really good! They were super nice and accommodating. The ambiance is fantastic. We didn't throw axes but ate outside and had a huge group. My order came in stages and would have been better if it all came at one time but I understand that they are just getting started. The onion rings and Mac n cheese are great! read more

Hailey was a great server! Warm and welcoming. Great beer option and great food! Plan to come back for some axe throwing!

Great location. Thats the only positive thing to say. We stopped on a Sunday at 430p. Only 5 tables in the whole restaurant. Service was drastically slow. Beers came and were flat, tasting horrible. Mentioned to the server and she brought us our check. Do not waste your time. read more

Pretty cool experience...took my 83yr old Aunt and my 62yr old girlfriend...had a great eating and drinking experience then we threw axes for 30 minutes...kudos to "Q" and "K" Can't remember K's name but those two knocked it out of the ballpark....good luck "K", much success!!!! read more

Food was not good. We ordered the chicken tacos and we were not asked if we wanted soft shell or what they consider "crispy" shells. Came crispy, if that's what you want to call it. I bit into mine and it was so chewy that everything in my taco came flying out. And the chicken was questionable looking. We were so hungry that we just attempted to make the best of it. The service was ok, the waitress did however take a while to get our order and drinks. The manger did take 6.00 dollars off our bill but I feel like one meal should of been totally comped at least. Probably will not go back. read more
