Reviews
I had been looking forward to Bootleggers opening because it’s right in my neighborhood. The first week they opened, I decided to go check it out. While I was sitting in the parking lot, something crossed my mind that I might be one of the only Black people in there. I brushed it off and went in anyway.
They found me a seat, and I sat down by myself in the middle of the restaurant. After sitting there for a while, a waiter finally came up and asked what I wanted. I asked what they had, and he acted like he didn’t know, handed me a menu, and walked off.
I looked around and saw everyone else mingling and being taken care of, while I was just sitting there waiting. About 15 minutes later he came back and asked what I wanted. I ordered three fish with fries — and make that twice, since I was bringing food home for my wife. Then he asked what I wanted to drink. I said a strong IPA. He acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about. Later he comes back with a Michelob and says, “This is for you.” That’s not what I ordered. But at that point I just wanted to drink it and get out of there.
I waited another 20 minutes for the food. Before bringing it out, he said they didn’t have containers ready for my order and were trying to find some. When I finally got the food, it didn’t even look like what I ordered, but I trusted it was right and left. I still left a $10 tip because that’s just what I do.
When I got home, it wasn’t my order at all. Completely wrong — just like the beer.
After waiting so long for this place to open and being excited to support a neighborhood restaurant, this was beyond disappointing. The service felt off from the beginning, and whether intentional or not, I walked away feeling unwelcome and disrespected.
My wife told me I should go back and say something. I decided I won’t. I just won’t be going back.
I hope management sees this and does better. Everyone deserves to feel respected when they spend their money somewhere.
I love the location but food was trash
