I ordered the mushroom and Swiss burger, it is very well cooked, juicy, flavorful, I enjoyed it very much! We came here for lunch during a normal weekday, the place is packed, which says how popular this place is.

Just had lunch here. The gas company guys and the local ladies' group were having lunch here, so I…read moresuspect this is a good spot to gather. Very room and clean place. Plenty of TVs tuned to sports and the FOX network. It has the TouchTunes jukebox so those who like to play music on that app will be happy. Many small-town bar & grills use that app/jukebox system. The service was very good with only one waitress and cook running the show. About 15 minutes from order to delivery. I just had a basic cheeseburger and fries. This is a burger joint no frills. The burger was very good sized, and the fries were ok. The meal was certainly worth the $10 value. One drawback is stairs to get up to the dining/bar area. Other than that, a good place to have a quick burger and fries. Beats the Burger King across the street.

Everything came out piping hot and fresh. We ordered mozzarella sticks, tater tot barrels, chicken wings, burgers, and 1/4 order of nachos (which was huge). On the chicken wings we ordered Jamaican curry rub, garlic parmesan and sweet red chili sauces. All three were good but my favorite was the garlic parm sauce. If in the area again, I would definitely go back.

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! They are great conversation starters when you leave the wilds of Minnesota and return to the grind of the real world!
