    Bootleggers was a really cool find on a road trip I recently took. I stopped here really because my gut told me I'd like it, and I was right. It's small and I was the only person inside since made the experience even better. You get three samples for free, but can pay money for extra. I knew three would be enough for me. I tried the pineapple, coffee, and cherry and all were delicious. If I wasn't driving I would have had more, that's for sure. Pricing for each bottle is listed easily for you to see. The guy working as your bartender or sales person was really nice. Answered questions about the moonshine and overall was really helpful. Note: they are cash only. There is an ATM inside, but be prepared not to be able to use your credit/debit card. They have other gift shop items for sell too but I stuck with booze.

    Fun little spot. They make their moonshot on sight. It's Cool inside. They have all kind of apparel. Plus great taste testing prices!! Flavor ranges from peach to peppers! It is a little small inside but still fun! Great creek to walk down to behind the store.

    Frozen moonshine. Not real alcohol. Do not buy

    This place is a gimmick. We sampled their moonshine, which had a strong alcohol taste. Then when we bought the moonshine it did not taste as strong at all. We brought it home and stuck it in the freezer. Because moonshine is a higher proof, it is not supposed to freeze (like most alcohol). However, sadly, ours did. They are not selling real moonshine. The samples are definitely real. But do not buy the moonshine.

    Derek helped us out before we went white water rafting in. Derek gave us a tour of the facility. This is a wonderful mom and pop operation. If you are looking for moonshine look no further! The shine was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

    Must stop! This is a must stop, must taste, must enjoy experience. Pay the $5 for ten samples, get a souvenir shot glass, fun little experience and some of the best 'shine out there! We were impressed that everything is distilled right there, and is truly better than the bigger distilleries around. Also, the staff was incredible. Shannon was our bartender. Although busy, she made sure to give each person individual time.

    Found this by accident because of a GPS snafu. Didn't spend a lot of time because of being behind schedule but we got a couple free samples and bought a couple of premise bottled cocktails. I will be back and give a much better review in the future. But for know I will say this is a real moonshiner that's been doing it for 45 years. A definite place to check out.

    What a nice little treat this unplanned pitstop was! Was in route moving from St. Louis to Charlotte and as I was several miles from the border of TN/NC I noticed a billboard that said BOOTLEGGERS DISTILLERY - FREE SAMPLES! I was sold at Free Samples! Plus I needed to stop and stretch my legs. It was a tiny little store front, not much room to move around or wonder. But you don't need much room to take a few shots. They even have this cool map where everyone who comes in puts a pin on where they're from. Not much to it, but cute little place. They have several flavors and proofs, as I like to refer to "a little something for everyone." Everything from high proof straight moonshine to low proof apple pie... and of course everything in between! My favorites were the apple, peach and sweet shine. Liked the sweet shine the best. We're in the middle of nowhere TN, so of course it's CA$H ONLY folks. Don't worry they have an ATM just incase ;) Pricing of moonshine and merch is spot on to other moonshine companies. So definitely not overpriced. The only complaint I have is that I have to drive 3 hours to get more! Although I wouldn't mind going back to have that good looking guy pour me more moonshine, it would be nice to be able to have it delivered with the click of a button! Don't forget... For best results, breathe deeply, shoot it back, let it settle for a few seconds and then breathe out. Mmmmm... the taste of that sweet shine!

    We tasted a LOT of samples on vacation and this is the BEST by far! The moonshine has actual fruit in it. It is a small family owned business. Very friendly and you get a souvenir glass if you do the 10 for $5. For less than $10 I got the glass, 10 samples and one the nest pina colada slushees I have had in a long time. Cash only but they have an ATM on site. We only ran across this place on our way to raft so it is off the beaten path but well worth the stop. Nice little rustic shop with outdoor seating to relax and enjoy your beverage.

I also ran into a local that recommended I try their duck fat fries. The duck fat fries were delicious and topped with Parmesan and scallions with a creamy aioli for dipping. My burger was monstrous and somehow I ate the WHOLE thing because it was so juicy and yummy I couldn't stop myself. One thing I will say is I wish their seating was a bit more comfortable. They were busy when o came and I had to sit on a high top outside which was a squished table of six of us and very uncomfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting!

When you arrive parking can be found on the street or in a nearby parking lot/garage. When you walk into the restaurant it has an eclectic, upscale, gastropub vibe. First, you'll want to check in with the host and be seated in the restaurant. For drinks I started with the old fashioned which was nice and refreshing. Next for food I ordered the farmhouse burger (Cheddar + Over Easy Egg + Applewood Bacon + Tomato + Onion + Garlic Aioli) and upgraded the fries to the duck fat fries (Rendered Duck Fat + Grated Parmesan + Scallions + Garlic Aioli). The burger and fries tasted great and had a nice balance of flavors. I highly recommend stopping by stock & barrel if you are ever in Knoxville.

    Make a reservation or you will have to wait a while! They say they're known for the steaks, but…read morethey were not quality. We should've believed previous reviews about steaks. We got bone in ribeye (tough & had lots of gristle) & filet (tough & undercooked). For the price of these steaks you'd think they'd be much better. Also, be prepared to sit for 2 hours from drinks to meal (no appetizers or desserts). On a positive note, The Dylan drink was amazing.

    Never have I look at the bill at the end of a meal and thought "This cant be my bill, we enjoyed it…read moresoo much vs this lower price than we expected". I immediately double checked, and it was mine. This is a nice smaller gem of a nice resturant, my drink "The Dylan" was an experience, flaming smoke chips i blew out, they put my glass over the smoke, then poured in the drink. My family was wondering how much that would cost, I didn't care it was good... found out at end it was just $15, if I knew I would have ordered alot more. Pork belly scallops were very good but the 2 scallops seemed like one cut on half but the sauce made up for it, and the pork was great. Lemon sorbet palette cleanser was so good people in my group asked for it for dessert as well Lobster bisque was one of the better ones I have had anywhere. Multiple people ordered filets with different finishing sauces, everyone liked theirs. I ordered the porterhouse and enjoyed every bite. Wish I lived closer, definitely worth the trip
