Great food! Love the open air environment. The walk up service and food delivery was on point. Will be back!

The Boot Room is the adjoining restaurant to Beer Study Durham so it's a great spot if you're looking for a casual spot to hang out with friends! While the majority of their menu consists of sandwiches and burgers, my most go-to and recommendation is their Cobb salad which is hearty and delicious! I also often order their tots and love the sauces they come with. read more

The smoked wings were delicious. They tasted more air fried or baked than deep fried which was a plus. The sauerkraut sausage with pretzel bun wasn't my thing. Super flavorful and huge and juicy but just wasn't into the flavor profile. My husband loved it. The pimento Mac and cheese is definitely more of a preference thing because my daughter said it tastes very "different", my husband thought it tasted like how his mom used to make it which he loved, and I wasn't a fan. It wasn't objectionable but just not my cup of tea. Something to note is that the pimento taste is very mild and not spicy whatsoever for those who may be concerned. Service was good. Great spot to bring your pup. The outdoor area is VERY dog friendly and they have a tap at the end of the bar specifically for filling dog water bowls which they provide. Cool spot with good food. Would return. read more

We stopped in for brunch last Sunday, and this place was poppin'. There were so many different TVs with various games playing that people were clearly there to watch. The energy was lively. The brunch menu was fairly simple but tasty. Service wasn't especially friendly, though. I wouldn't go out of my way to revisit The Boot Room, but if I wanted to watch a sporting match, particularly soccer, I would return. read more

First time checking out this place and it was very kewl. You walk in and there are tables and booths in various stations of the restaurant. TVs placed everywhere and lots of soccer memorabilia. You can also purchase merchandise. There is a full bar towards the side with more seating and TVs. I ordered a burger with fries, which was good even though they missed the bacon I had ordered with it. A chicken sandwich and a hot dog, both with fries and some chicken wings. The wings had a smoky flavor to them. Very different to anything I had tried before. My kiddo did not like her hot dog. Unfortunately, I did not try it so can't comment on it. You order at the checkout counter and they give you a number then you seat. They bring the food to you once ready. The place had arcades so it was great for kids and even had seating outdoors if you want to get away from the noise. Very kewl spot. Would love to check it out for a soccer match without the kiddos. read more

My wife and I tried The Boot Room for the first time today. We arrived at 2:30 PM. It was not busy. There was only one other customer. You have to order at the counter. Everything else is self-service except that they do bring the food to the table. You have to get your own drinks. The cashier/waitress barely acknowledged us even after we told her it was our first time. She showed us the menu and turned her back on us until I told her we were ready to order. The food is expensive. You pay when you order. The tip selections start at 20% ... and for basically self-serve and no customer service that is very HIGH. The food was delivered to our table. After that nobody ever checked on us. I had to walk back to the counter to ask for more ranch dressing. Overall, the food was good. The decor is nice. However, based on the service, we will not be coming back. read more

I always get their "Klop" sandwich because they have the best pastrami in town. I believe they cure their own. My wife loves their kielbasa.

Really delicious food! I've had the Carolina Cobb Salad, as well as the Fiesta Bowl and really enjoyed both of them. I've dined with others who have always enjoyed their food, too. The cheese curd started is also amazing! The staff are friendly and helpful. The ambiance is relaxing and you don't feel rushed, even if you hang out for a long time. This is my favorite kind of place to grab a bite with friends and hang out! read more

Cute casual and fast; order at the bar and food delivered very soon. Average chef salad and Chicken fried sandwich w/ hot honey was good and crunchy. read more

First- the food at this place is epic! It leans into the international fan base of soccer without feeling too "fusion-y". It shares space with a brewery too, so there is a great craft beer selection! Brunch was delicious. Lamb burger was divine. The boom-boom tater tots haunt my dreams. Second- this is the best sports bar set up I've ever seen. The viewing room has cozy chairs that all face the huge screens to let you settle in for the match. And most importantly, it has a door- so important for those of us who are just there to eat! read more

I ordered a vegan burger with Pimento cheese Macaron andi cheese, the French onion dip and the Grilled Nutella. If this restaurant has one flaw, it's the lack of flavor. The burger was good, but I added my own flavoring at home. The chips are great, but the dip has absolutely no flavor at all. We could not figure out how to save that and ended up trashing the dip. The mac was really good, but you cannot taste the paminto cheese. The grilled Nutella was delicious! My mom, got a burger with tater tots. She told me it was good, but didn't have much flavor either. This was a solid 3.5 stars! read more

Yummy food + fun, casual atmosphere! During my most recent visit we had a group of 7 of us and sat in the front area - if you keep walking towards the back they have lots of different sections. My Carolina Cobb salad was great! You just order at the counter, grab a number, and they bring your food to your table. I also like how you can go right into BeerStudy next door to find a fun drink! read more

Food was excellent: tater tots crispy and the braut on pretzel bread was tasty though not easy to eat! The turkey bacon avocado sandwich was very good and the French fries were flavorful. Enjoyed our meals very much. We had to go to the separate bar to order beer, but liked that there was an 8oz as well as 16oz option! read more

Went for lunch,we should have gone anywhere else.they brought us the wrong food. It happens, not the end of the world, however some kind of apology would be good.my friend ordered a burger when she bit into it.there was a piece of hard plastic in the burger patty, I think it was a piece of a broken plastic cutlery or toothpick. Again,no apology,no offer to take it off the bill. Food was not good, service was worse. Pretty disappointed for a $50 lunch. I can't speak about drinks we had soda. read more

Food is ok. Not remarkable. The 2 bars offer nice options, but there is no ambiance to speak of. That said, the location is at best chaotic, service is middling, parking is a nightmare and did I mention the mediocre food? Probably a good place to meet friends for a beer, but if you're looking for a good meal better can be found elsewhere in Durham. Not overly likely to go back. read more

I really like the atmosphere and their rustic pipe tables! Although the staff was nice, the food was mediocre at best. I had such a high hope since the ratings are great but overall the price was high, the quality is mediocre, and unfortunately their pickle basket was a bust. read more

A super solid pub-style eatery connected to Beer Study with great service, great food, and a vibe that makes me want to stay all day and watch soccer. Menu has options for all sorts of dietary restrictions and preferences without making you feel like you have limited options, which is always a plus, and in addition to their cans and bottles, you can always walk through the threshold to order a drink from Beer Study! It was honestly difficult for me to decide what to eat because there were so many great-sounding options. I was inspired to order the Virgil (fish sandwich) at the suggestion of the guy in line in front of me and I have absolutely no regrets--delicious!! Parking lot is a bit of a disaster, so definitely plan to come early if there's a game on. read more

Love the sweet potato fries and fried pickles!! The sandwiches are filling and lots of great options. Enjoyed the ambiance and there's lots of seating available. read more

The Boot Room is located in a shopping plaza with multiple businesses so there is shared parking out front. The restaurant is spacious with multiple areas to dine in inside and outside. Once inside you place your order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. The cashier was not personable. My fish sandwich and fries were brought out in a timely manner. I did not enjoy my meal. The tartar sauce on the bun made it soggy and the fish was really greasy. My fries were ok. Based upon my experience I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Pub fare done well. I had the Carolina Cobb salad, which was generous on the fixings - if anything, I wished I had more greens to balance out the massive amounts of pimento cheese and bacon. Extremely hearty and filling. My husband got a sandwich, which I didn't try but he enjoyed. I did steal some of his sweet potato fries, which were lightly sweetened and crispy without being greasy. I am not a sports person, but I would happily hang out here eating tasty food with people who wanted to watch sports. read more

Food was terrific. We used counter service but they were great! Funky vibe and atmosphere with great alcohol selections.

We recently hosted our formal at this venue, and our group could absolutely not say enough good things about the Boot Room. We hosted in the back two rooms, and not only were the drinks and bar service fantastic, they were also reasonably priced. Additionally, the staff were incredibly communicative and knowledgable. We worked primarily with Evan and Miguel, who did an amazing job at ensuring our group was well taken care of and that the venue was prepped for us. Overall, we found the Boot Room to be affordable, responsive, and to have a great atmosphere, and to be a great option for any group looking to host. read more

Upon walking in, there appears to be 3 separate places, which is slightly confusing. There's a place to order right when you walk in, but a sign towards the back left says "Boot Room" and leads to a bar area. It would probably have help if anyone had spoken to us when we got there. Once we finally figured out we were in the right spot, we ordered our food, found a seat, and went to the adjoining "taproom" to get a couple beers. The guy in the taproom greeted us right away, and was very friendly/helpful. The food and beer were very good, they just need to work on the "service" when you walk in, because it's definitely not inviting. The walls in the place are decorated with tons of football (soccer) memorabilia, which is pretty cool, and the taproom has a lot of drinks available to buy. read more

After craving a burger, we tried this place based off reviews. We were really impressed with the setup of the restaurant and the decor. We also loved that you order at a counter before heading to a table. The burgers were a good, solid, burger with a good cook and good flavor! The star of the show was definitely was the Bang Bang Tots. They were AMAZING! I have never had anything like it. Place was great, service was good, and the food was the best! Can't wait to go back again. read more

Food is always good. Fresh breads and lots of variety. Great place for family meals. Service is good too.

This place has probably the weirdest name of any restaurant I've been to, so I didn't really expect much from it, but I was really blown away with how delicious the food was! They had a blackened salmon sandwich on special and it was perfect in every way! I also ordered a side of mac and cheese and it was baked to perfection! I highly recommend this restaurant, they have some very unique menu items to pick from. read more

My veggie panini was delicious...lots of roasted veggies and great bread. Quiet Tuesday lunch in a relaxing atmosphere. Order food at counter and they deliver to table. My side of macaroni salad was so good I'd love the recipe and I'm picky about my macaroni salad and Cole slaws! read more

So I've been looking for places to try in Durham and I've been going to some spots that I might not normally try. This place is a soccer pub with a restaurant attached where you order at the front, get your number and take a seat. I'd seen some good reviews about the food so decided to venture out. I decided on the Stevie G. chicken sandwich with the pimento cheese Mac and Cheese for my side. While the Mac and Cheese was pretty basic with a hint of pimento, the sandwich absolutely blew my mind. It's smoked and fried and comes on a potato bun with lettuce, tomato, pickled red onions and and adobo blue cheese. The chicken breast was perfectly seasoned, fried crispy and not over-breaded and so juicy. This is BY FAR the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I'll be back to dive into the rest of the menu. read more

Came for the food. Fell in love with the Danny Devito decor. My go-to is always the Rapinoe with sweet potato fries. When you enter, you order at the counter and are give a number. You can sit outdoors, in any part of the Boot Room, or in the adjacent Beer Study (my fav). A waiter will bring the food to your table and you can grab silverware near the ordering counter. Service is fast and the food is delicious! The walls are filled with soccer ledge s and memorabilia. In the back is an English-style pub perfect for watching games. There are also several arcade games throughout ti keep kids or adults entertained. read more

I've wanted to visit here for a long time and happened to be in the neighborhood so dropped in for a very late lunch. It's was a little chilly out, but that didn't stop most of the tables outside from being filled. I decided to opt for some warmth inside. There wasn't hardly anyone in there and it was quiet, which was fine with me. I was excited to try some of their eats and cheerily said "hello" to the young woman at the counter. Maybe I was a bit too cheery cos I just got a blank stare. So blank I was taken aback and asked her if they were open. She very quietly said yes. I said I wondered cos you just stared at me and then I laughed. She said nothing, so I asked if I could order to eat in. She nodded. So I ordered my food and a soda. She repeated something. Again, very soft spoken, which doesn't work well with a mask on. I had to ask her again and it something was about the soda. OK. Turned out the ice machine was broken at the soda fountain. Maybe that's what she was trying to convey in her very quiet voice. I asked if there was any ice in the back and she got me a cup of some. After getting my drink I sat at a nearby table and waited for my order. When it arrived, a Polish sausage sandwich, it was huge. Served in a pretzel roll, which I didn't realize would be toasted. Nice that it was warm, but it would be better steamed, just my opinion. There was supposed to be some brown mustard on it, which I didn't taste or see anywhere. It would have been good with the kraut that was on the sausage. Otherwise I really enjoyed it. The pickles on the side were delicious. I ordered grandma's macaroni salad for my side and it was macaroni, but nothing salady about it. I realized it was the pimento mac and cheese, which I didn't order. It was very, very dry. It just didn't seem worth with my time to try to converse again with the young lady at the counter, who barely speaks audibly, so I just ate what I could of it. It wasn't very good tho. Maybe it's just me, but the vibe here is kinda strange. So much so that I don't know if it's worth returning, except Polish sausage sandwiches are a difficult thing to find in the Triangle! read more

While researching new breweries on Yelp in Durham, I stumbled across this place. Knowing my weakness for hot pretzels and charcuterie plates, when I saw the "Twisted Charcuterie" on their website, I was sold. We grabbed a beer from the connected brewery, Beer Study, and sat in the Boot section. The joint was hopping! This is a very cool place that has something for everybody. Board Games, video games, pin ball, lounge seating, outdoor seating, draft beer, canned beer, wine, food etc., etc. The draft beer from Beer Study was very good. Our Twisted Pretzel, met the expectation, but didn't wow me the way the picture did. It still wouldn't deter me from coming back and ordering something different. When in Durham this is a destination spot! read more

This place is really good and has a neat set up. The boot room serves food and then it is connected internally with the Beer Study... which has their own as well as other NC beers. It is located in a strip mall and the parking is limited but seems to be adequate. We ordered bang bang tots for an appetizer and they were excellent. They had some sort of Thai like sauce that was sweet and not overly spicy or hot. I would get them again. I got the firehouse burger and my wife got the BLT. Both were good. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There was also an area inside that had a glass door and wall.. I am not sure if that was a reserved section or what, but it had a pretty nice looking bar set up in there. This is definitely a place to come back to. The food was good as and was the beer from next door! read more

The environment was inviting inside. But I was ordering to-go. My food was fantastic. Ordered the Pastrami sandwich w/krispy tater tots.

I will be back to try more dishes and enjoy that interior ambience. read more

College touring and WE HAVE TO EAT Stumbled upon The Boot Room while in Durham Sits in a strip mall .... Almost missed it It has a rustic, feel almost like an old biker spot We went in about lunchtime, and it wasn't too busy The person taking orders of a little weird, not really inviting The menu was very inviting though ... so it made it easy for us to make a decision on where to order We start off with a Nachos ... I'm gonna give them a 2 (I don't recommend) We ordered a Stevie G ... it's a chicken sandwich, tossed and buffalo sauce,... very good... I would give it a 10 I ordered the KLOPP sandwich ... which is their version of a Reuben (the meat was a little dry) I gave it a 4 I know what I do recommend is the crispy tater tots with the sea salt They're fried to perfection and very tasty The decor and actual ambience were nice My only recommendation is that their staff, the a little bit more inviting and friendly read more

Had a great time at this pub-style sports bar in central Durham. Food selection matches the theme and is mostly variations of burgers and fries, but they also have a brunch menu for weekends. I appreciate when places featuring pub food include a solid vegetarian/vegan option, and The Boot Room is certainly one of them - I had the Morgan which had a decent veggie patty, good veggie toppings, and a crisply toasted vegan brioche bun. Since I was there at brunch time I also added in an order of donut holes with cinnamon sugar which were delicious! The restaurant works on counter service, and you can take your food anywhere in the restaurant, to the outdoor patio space, and also to Beer Study which is connected from the inside; you can also order drinks at the Beer Study bar to go with your meal! They have tons of TVs all over the place showing different sports games. We asked if we could watch the US Open and the staff was very friendly and found a way to stream it on the TV next to us. Overall a fun place that's definitely worth a return trip! read more

The Boot Room is connected to the Beer Study, which is also fantastic, and I feel that it's one of the more underrated restaurants in Durham. The service is always quick and friendly and the food is fresh and creative. Prices are very fair. I often crave the fried pickles here, but they have really good salads and bowls too for anyone wanting lighter fare. It's one of those places where everyone can find something they like.
