Local. Friendly staff. Great pricing. good serving size. Plenty of seating. Many great food options.Every time I've been there, the staff remember us and greet us with smiles.Tried something new each time I've been there and am not disappointed.Several times I've eaten there and had enough to bring home for a second meal. Bonus!
Tried this place for the first time on Mother’s Day with the family. I had a taste for brisket and was sorely disappointed in what I received. The sandwich came already sauced which indicates to me there was something to hide! After biting in to the sandwich I couldn’t taste any of the pit or smoked flavor I was hoping for and always enjoy when I eat brisket. My sides were Mac & cheese and baked beans. The noodles were way too mushy and tasteless. The baked beans were slightly better but rather runny. The baby back ribs were virtually meatless and not very filling for my teen daughter. My husband didn’t eat very much of his brisket sandwich either and left his sides. The red beans and rice wasn’t tasty at all but the green beans were so so. Told management and they asserted it’s the same food they’ve served since 1991. Didn’t ask for our money back but reassured them we won’t return!
Went there for the first time for a friends birthday. We needed a table for 6 and they only had one which was occupied - we squeezed our group around a table for 4. You order your food at the counter and pick it up there also, which is not a big deal to have no servers. I was expecting some excellent BBQ, but was very disappointed with it. It had some thick sauce on it which made the pork soggy and without much flavor. The rest of our group was disappointed as well. I doubt we'll ever go back there. My average raring is a stretch.
The food is always delicious. They cater, offer carry out, and now opened a dine in option. You can get all the regular BBQ food, but they also offer vegetarian options.
Oh my goodness, gotta love me some Bootleg BBQ, I said to my momma and at that moment, her voice took on a sound of excitement..."would you like some Bootleg momma?"....Pleasantly surprised to see a complete makeover of this restaurant located just north of Mt Washington, Ky off Bardstown Rd.Ordered pulled chicken BBQ, potato salad, a slice of butter cream pie and bread pudding.Last night, momma and myself enjoyed your delightful food, leading to a pleasant visit. Thank you!
Brisket bbq sandwich with Mac n cheese and mashed taters with gravy ****Pork sandwich with mac n cheese and potato salad ****Excellent customer serviceSupport local businesses!!!
Bootleg is hands down an all time favorite of mine and probably everyone else's. The food is always delicious, unbelievably priced and it's consistent; you can't say that, unfortunately, for most eateries. I had the pulled pork sandwich and my friend had the brisket sandwich. He also ordered twice baked potatoes and oh!!! my!!! I would highly recommend trying them. Next time I'm getting the bread pudding with honey and bourbon. Yum!
This is the third time I've tried them since moving back, and the quality and taste has drastically gone downhill. The brisket tasted like beef jerky drowned in sauce, the ribs were tough with no flavor, and those are not twice baked potatoes! We paid $60 for 3 meals, and most of it went in the trash! Where did the flavor go??
Near and dear picked this out because he wanted to try the mutton. Spoiler! It was really good! We called ahead to make sure they had outdoor dining and if it was dog friendly. Yes to both!! They have a very nice outdoor dining area. The young lady that took my order was very friendly and answered all my questions. It didn't take long for them to bring out our order.I ordered the Big Nasty with brisket on a whim. I had never seen anything like it and was really glad I did. The other winners were the mutton, Kentucky burgoo and the cactus salad. Everything was good but those are on the definitely want that again.We're looking forward to coming back.
Great ribs. Fall off the bone. The mild sauce was underwhelming but quality of the meat was good. Was unaware the dining room was close as I arrived but ordered at the front and got my food within 5-10 minutes. Really impressed!
