Menus are limited, but almost always that means quality over quantity. Monthly pizza specials keep it novel, and those specials extend beyond food. The Tavern closes earlier than other locations in town and that keeps the younger crowd away. Nevertheless, there's still a great group of locals that frequent often, with a great atmosphere, awesome staff, excellent owners, and weekly events that attract.

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!

Drinks are cheap & strong, rail drinks around $3.50 & rest is up to $5 unless you get doubles!

Touch tunes are available, and usually always playing, except for when wheel of fortune is on! Tables are limited, but the bar top has a lot of seating and history. Outdoor patio for smoking, and occasional music. Not exactly cleanly but super friendly :)

The odd part is you buy the burger but don't get any sides. Long story to say the 2fer got us two dollars off the total. HA! Anyway, the burgers were delicious. Love the ciabatta bread. Nice and juicy burger. We got tots as our side and they were nice and crispy. Yummm Staff was great. Appreciate that the restaurant was open on Monday night as that tends to be when they all are closed. They have a nice spot next to the water and if it wasn't 45 degrees, it would be a great place to dine and have a beer. Lots of beers on tap as well. Free popcorn. Good stop.

Stopped here on our way up to Big Sandy lake. It is a dive in every sense. My friend with the cabin…read moresaid the ceiling art has been there since at least 1974. It shows. We ate at the bar. It was surrounded by a bunch of very drunk locals who I hope walked home later. I did not order a beer due to lack of good beer. I asked the bartender what is good on the menu. She replied she is picky and could not recommend anything. Uh, she really had no idea? So I got a philly cheese steak. It was just meh ... smaller size, presumably microwaved meat, no veggies, little cheese. 1 star. The bartender asked me if I wanted fries or onion rings with the sandwich, but failed to tell there is a $4 up-charge. Uh, what? A much nicer restaurant would not charge that. What I got were overcooked, dry and really bad onion rings, possibly the worst ever, thinking back to the wretched ones my high school served 30 years ago. A negative 5 stars for that garbage. $11.75 for the combo was outrageous. The only cool thing was the raunchy ceiling art. So .... service meh, food awful, awful beer selection, clean but aged decor. 1 star dive to go with the drunks.

This is definitely a place where the employees and the locals have a good time and joke around, and sometimes if you are not a local, you don't receive the same level of attention. For the most part, refills of the AYCE fish were pretty quick. The fish was crispy and delicious, and the price was very reasonable. The only complaint was that there was mention on other sources (maybe outdated) about what was included. As of June 2026, the fish is AYCE, the sidewinders (fries) are not. We ordered an extra serving of those because they were delicious. Great joint and I would definitely come back again!

I ordered the unlimited fish fry and got the last serving around 8 PM. Not sure if I loved the fish (not realizing it was not walleye) but the breading was OK. I loved the fries that they called "swindlers". It was a steal for $14. I also ordered a side salad that I was impressed by the lettuce being more of a mixed green rather than iceberg. We were there when they were doing charity raffles for meat and other prizes. It was a fun atmosphere. The hubby really enjoyed his Buffalo boneless wings that were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The sauce was not too spicy for him. Based on all the reviews, maybe stick to the walleye!
