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!

I had to drive home from Alexandria, so I watched kick off & most of the 1st half there. Quickly made my way home, to Isanti, but found this bar at half time! Wasn't real crowded, and they had a special breakfast menu. They usually open at 11am. 3 items, all 15.00. OK, cool. It was good . Friendly staff, clean, accommodating, and very tasty food. Very enjoyable! Small town bars are the best! Especially when they have giant tvs I. L O V E. T H I S. B A R

My wife, 10 year old daughter and myself were looking for some good food and found this place just…read moreabout a mile and a half off 94. This place has a long bar with 3-4 large high tops(sits 6 each). They had an additional room for overflow but was not lite up at the time. Small bar. There was about 8 people there all sitting at the bar, one bar tender. As soon as we seated ourselves, we were greeted and got our drink order in and it came fast. Extremely friendly! This was very nice as we were feeling a little awkward to start. The menu was huge and it was mostly burgers with a large app selection with some specialty items like an enchilada type thing and chicken sandwiches. I got the chicken sandwich l, wife got the enchilada thing and my daughter got a plan cheeseburger and frys. The bartender was keeping g a close eye on us and we never felt a touch of neglect or slow service. I wondered how the bartender would manage our food order and the patrons. However, to my surprise she absolutely knocked it out the park and completely surprised! Our food came out quick and was absolutely perfect. I really expected my wife's enchiladas thing ( it was a quesadilla). Was the wrong thing to order, it turned out to be the best. Chicken was not dry at all. Service was perfect. We ate and got out of there and prices were great. If bringing a kid like we did, I would do it around 6 -7 as people were filing in around 7:30 for the evening drink and was time to leave with a kid. I would come back anytime!
