Bootlegger's On Broadway

3.5 stars (but I'm giving them the 4 stars because they are consistent).  

They are consistently a solid A-OK.  They serve decent burgers that are cooked to order and don't arrive a la hockey puck (I like my beef still bleeding a little).  The wings (medium) are rather meh as the sauce is way too buttery for my Buffalo purist preferences (and it is blasphemy that they are even offered breaded); the blue cheese was more like peppercorn ranch with some chunks for blue cheese and it was rather awful (particularly when you're expecting blue cheese) but all in all I can't think of one bad experience that I've had here.  (Actually the wing experience reminded me of when I lived in Michigan and wings were always breaded and served with ranch...effin' ranch.  wrong! but at least there is a choice here to get them without that god awful breading)  Stick to the burgers if you're a Buffalo wing purist like me and you'll be happy.  They have some interesting looking seasonal salads, which I want to try but never do because I'm drinking margaritas at noon and need something with more substance.  

They have a full bar and decent beer selection.  They have tap tables (which just screams dram shop liability to me, but hey...what do I know) that you can reserve.

I'm not really sure why Bootleggers doesn't come up higher on my radar when I go out (other than when I'm looking for somewhere with outdoor seating so I can take my dog), but it has proven to be a consistently decent choice over the last 2 years....and the weekday lunch time bartender mixed a good margarita (I was on vacation don't judge).  

The waitstaff have always asked if they can bring my dog a bowl of water before they even ask me for my drink order...this actually makes me very happy.

It is a decent place to chill with friends. Couple darts and pools to play with. Nothing special as far as my experience. Maybe will try again during the weekend someday.

I just had the most terrible experience here. We were not greeted by any staff for five minutes or more. When we were finally greeted our server was very nice, but very slow. Water took 10 minutes. It took them 25 minutes to bring only soup and salads. Also, the pear and Gorgonzola salad was lackluster. Canned pears, limp lettuce, and something sickly sweet masquerading as candied nuts. Maybe the bar is good? Don't go here to  eat.
