We have driven past Bootlegger's a zillion times en route to Duluth. This trip, we made time to stop in and give it a whirl. We were pleasantly surprised at what we found. Excellent service (they know how to pour a good cocktail), excellent conversation, and a great way to spend a lil' time. You MUST order the chicken wings. They were so incredibly delicious and they came with unexpected but seriously good French fries. We also had the pizza (pepperoni and green olive) which was great. I've read other reviews that say it's kinda spendy but truth be told, they run a great operation with local flair. I can't be mad to get awesome pizza without pretension. It is exactly what you want. I only wish I lived nearby so this could be my regular watering hole. read more

Went here for the first time, upon entering my husband and I both commented that it smelled of stale cigarette smoke, but thought it was perhaps just old...! But to our surprise right after we got our food, the gentleman who was sitting at the bar and appeared to be a cook (wearing an apron), as he got up from the bar, went to the back and shortly after our food arrived came back to the bar, sat back down and lit a cigarette! Possibly the owner, I'm not sure. Completely changed and my opinion of the whole experience ! Food was good bartender/waitress was very nice and attentive, but this grossed me out and set off Asthma attack for me! To my knowledge it has been a law for quite some time in WI, No Smoking in bars or restaurants!! read more

Fantastic made from scratch food. I dream about the massive stuffed hash browns (ask for them with bacon inside). I make two meals out of mine (and I can eat). Homemade jelly and bread too. Just have to go whenever I am in the area. read more

If you're looking for great food and a local hangout, this is it. We had the Bootlegger hamburger and it was close to the best burger I've ever eaten. It's a little messy to eat, but well worth the mess and we left nothing on the plates. French fries are fantastic. This isn't a place with fancy ambiance, so go elsewhere if you want cloth napkins. It's also open early in the week when most local restaurants are closed. read more

We were heading back to the Cities from Duluth and in need of a quick lunch. Wow - food and service were great. We had the BLT and wings which were really good (home made bread) and the fries were OUTSTANDING! Beth was awesome, super friendly and welcoming. If you are in the area we highly recommend. read more

We stopped here for brunch on our way home after lookIng at cabins in the area. This restaurant made me want to make an offer on a property just so I can be close by! My husband had the Bootlegger burger and I had the stuffed hash browns. Both were excellent. Seriously though, we started with the fried mushrooms, served with their homemade ranch. Ridiculously good. Loved the Bloody Mary as well. Service was fabulous! read more

We are new to the area and this has become our favorite breakfast location. I would eat here over a fancy restaurant any day. Owner is a lovely sweet lady, and incredibly funny. Great bloody Mary's full of goodies! There food is homemade, and that includes the bread and jam. Can't beat it!!!! Owner makes you feel like family... Food is too die for. Only reason not for 5 stars is sometimes people smoke in there and it grosses me out... But, hey it's there business, not mine, I will still be back! Yummy goodness! I crave it! read more

Great food! We didn't have a lot of expectations, but the food really blew us away. The pizza and steak sandwich were absolutely great. I'm not usually big on French fries, but even they were amazing. It's true that there's not a lot of ambience to this place, but the service is very friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious! We'll be back. read more

Went on Friday night for their fish/chicken meal.... it was so salty we couldn't even eat it. The meal came with the salad bar, but after eating our salad, we saw the ceiling above the salad bar was coming down ( sagging and falling)! read more

Great hole in the wall. We weren't sure what to expect but the grilled chicken sandwich was perfect and hubby's burger was fresh and tasty.

Stopped in for a late lunch and the food was outstanding! Steak sandwich and the Bootie burger were fabu. The fries were still crisp by the end of the meal. Try that with any regular french fry. Bloody Mary's were wonderful as was the service. I'd highly recommend a stop on your way by. Tonight we're going to try the home made pizza. Really home made, crust and all. They're open 7 days a week. Make it your next destination. read more
