Food is the BEST!!!!!! All soup is a must to have. My favorite meal are fried chicken meal with mash potatoes & corn it can be 3 or less chicken amount. And on Friday's prime rib- I ordered medium well and I'll tell you... you will not have other prime rib ever, that good. It comes with soup mashed potatoes, corn and the sauce on side. Service is great just be patience with the serving, it's worth too wait. Kacey, Jocelyn & all staff are awesome!!! Ambiance is good Pics is provided read more

Person answering the phone is extremely rude and seemed annoyed! So don't call I guess? otherwise, the food is good if you can place an order! Called another restaurant after deciding not to order from here and had a complete opposite experience! read more

Sitting here CURRENTLY. Bartender is rude as hell. Tried to argue that she "didn't hear" that I wanted a wrap instead of a sandwich and my friend wanted cheesy garlic bread. Mind you, we WATCHED HER write it down. Major, MAJOR, attitude. Now that our friends are all done with their food (which was all cold, by the way), while the 2 of us are STILL waiting over 25 minutes for a wrap and cheesy garlic bread. Not mentioning that it took 52 minutes to get out 6 orders. THAT. WERE. COLD. If management knows that Thursday's are busier nights, (they have live music), they should plan accordingly. Not have one (seems like beginner) bartender working. The bartender is the woman that has "baby girl" tattooed on the back of her legs. Friend said that every time she comes here that the service is like this. As a server/bartender myself, I would be EMBARRASSED if my service was anywhere NEAR this. If I was the owner, I would be APPALLED. read more

Came on a Tuesday night and got broaster fried chicken for $8. What a deal! It was tender and tasty and above average for bar food. Service was attentive, the patrons are friendly, and there is cornhole and beach volleyball outside. They have live music on the weekends, too. There is not a lot of space inside, so more folks enjoy eating outside it would appear. They have an average selection on drinks on hand. If you want a solid place to eat and have a nice drink without breaking the budget, I would suggest Bootleggers any day. read more

Food has always been delicious and as ordered. Small bar with a friendly staff and patrons. Try the wings!

Their service is absolutely terrible, the bar tender is high or drunk as shit. She forgot to order our food and ordered my son's meals wrong. When we arrived home with the carry out orders we found longer hair on one one of our horrible beef sandwiches. read more

The food was surprisingly amazing! The bartender was so sweet, personable and quick! She made an amazing pineapple margarita! I had a turkey sandwich and my partner had some type of burger that had blue cheese crumbles. His Bloody Mary was great also! I loved the pickled vegetables that came with the drink! I no longer live in the area but I will be making this a regular stop from now on when I'm visiting! Ambiance is chill, laid back. It's nothing fancy, I wasn't expecting the food to be so delicious lol read more

Happy to update my review to a perfect 5/5. This is my favorite place in Antioch to get food. You cannot beat their prices and how dang good the food is. They have even have soup flights! Some of my go to orders are cheeseburgers, potato pancakes, wings, and soup! I have never had a bad bowl of soup from there. It's always amazing! read more

I WAS OVERCHARGED $20.75. Keep in mind this "Asshole charge" is an item in their pos system they use to regularly overcharge their patrons. BTW I wasn't an assh*le as people have been asking/assuming , as if that would give them the right to steal from me. read more

There was a negative review that almost turned us away from this location, but I'm so happy we did not miss our opportunity to enjoy the wonderful food here. The place was slamming. It was a Sunday afternoon and the bartender was the waitress as well. She was very sweet and the food was excellent. We had the broasted chicken dinners with real mashed potatoes. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed! read more

Bootleggers is a great spot for great food. The restaurant was fairly full but the service was rather quick and the food was nice and hot. I tried the fried mushrooms and road king burger. The mushrooms were delicious and the dipping sauce was creamy and flavorful. The burger was huge, loaded with tender sautéed mushrooms, and accompanied by very tasty fries. We look forward to returning to try more of the menu. read more

Service was very friendly. Typical dive bar atmosphere, limited parking, but decent menu selection. I tried the mega bloody Mary, and it was a fun experience - cheese, veggies, pickled cucumber and green beans, fried mushrooms, cheese curds, mozzarella stick, ravioli, gyoza, chicken wing and mini taco. I couldn't finish everything. Hubby got mozzarella sticks and the booty burger with tots. The mozzarella sticks were burnt, but I think that was an unfortunate byproduct of them trying to fry the garnishes for several bloodies and those at the same time. His burger was cooked to order and he enjoyed it, tots were crispy. read more

Awesome food, friendly staff and atmosphere. Recommend the broasted chicken, wings and chili. Will visit again and again!

Great good! Excellent service!! Very nice owner!!! Absolutely adorable "short" helper!!!!! Looks like a nice place for spring/summer live music. read more

What a fun place to go hang out on a Friday night! Lots of friendly people, a very hardworking staff throughout, and some terrific food and beverage make this a great time in a casual - dare I say backwater environment. The appetizers are five stars, no question. Breaded mushrooms were juicy and the cheese curds were crispy and gooey and perfect. The burgers were fine - solid sandwiches but nowhere near the level of the apps - and the $5 Friday night long islands were potent and perfect. A big note: Come to relax. If you're thinking this is going to be a place clicking like a big box brick and mortar - well that's just not the pace here. They keep a tight team running it, so when it's full you'll just need to be patient - and they're clear about that as you walk in. Be patient, be courteous, and you'll be treated like family, just like I was this first time (and far from my last time) at Bootlegger's. read more

Service was awesome, combo appetizer basket was very generous - more than 4 of us could eat. The entrees were delicious, I had the Rueben and can honestly say it's the best I ever had. Fun atmosphere, folks outside playing cornhole. They have outdoor dining which was all full - eating inside was fun too. read more

Great experience here. From the food to the bartender that waited on us. We went on the burger special night and the people at the table thought it was good. I got the Buffalo chicken salad and it was seriously so good. I highly suggest a stop in! read more

I liked the vibe of the place, unpretentious. The food was just OK, but I didn't come here expecting fois gras. Cool stage outside, great on a summer night. Nice bartenders. I liked it! read more

Had the soup flight which is 3 cups of soup that you select from a list of soups. It was very good and we shared it like an appetizer. I had the Italian Beef sandwich with mozzarella cheese. The sandwich had a pile of beef and was delicious. My 2 friends had the Philly Cheese Sandwich and they were very happy with it. read more

Small bar feel. Food was top notch. Bar tender was excellent and friendly. Ate outside and the stage setup looks like great fun. A neighborhood joint worth a visit. Will be back. read more

Biker bar food is great. People are good. looks are deceiving. It's a much better bar than you think.

Went for the bloody marys. Will never return. I don't want to bad mouth a place so I'll let you make your own judgement of the place and service but as for me, I'm good. read more

Large menu. Fresh, good quality. Portions were good. Our server was very nice but service was very very slow. Also, I was handed a unwrapped straw that the server was holding like a hammer and expected me to put that in my mouth, NO thank you! Restaurant had a lively atmosphere, it was busy and it's in a great area. A bit better than just "bar food" read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We just ate here for the first time I got the Reuben and he got the burger. Both delicious! Friendly atmosphere great service Fantastic food. We will be back read more

Best broasted chicken in town. Service is awesome. Great atmosphere. We are from Florida and this is always a stop when we are here.

Great food at a value!! Soups are fantastic! They also have some really good daily specials.

Food is good most of the time, service is friendly, and ambiance is fun! And it's within walking distance from my house so that's cool.

Your typical bar spot that has above average bar food and a good Bloody Mary. We went on a Sunday around noon and it was fairly busy. Nothing too crazy. Wings and tenders were awesome !!! Bloody Mary was 4/5. Very good. I felt bad for the bartender as she was the only one managing the large bar and all of the tables. She did an amazing job and didn't let it show. Kudos to her ! read more
