    Immediately told us they didn't have any reservation. When I showed them the email, they said they no longer accept open table reservations. They did seat is since they had capacity, however could have been a mess for a table of 8.

    Like the rustic western-like decor - and the seating is comfortable. Menu is terrific! Best Barbecue I've had since leaving Chicago. Lived here 8 years now, and have been to Bootlegger about five times since it opened. I take visitors there, family and friends… and they rave about the food and the service. Definitely a Scottsdale five-plus star restaurant!

    Have dined at Bootleggers for lunches, dinners, and special occasions with guests - and everyone has raved about the food and service. Always a "let's go back to Bootleggers" when we plan our next lunch or dinner out! A place you can take family, friends and clients. As far as I'm concerned, Bootleggers is the best barbecue spot in Downtown Scottsdale!

    We decided to try Bootleggers after finding the Saturday special, featured on the web site menu, was beef ribs. When we got to the restaurant we learned beef ribs were not available at all. Overall the meal was good, the service very good. It was a little loud for us. In the future we will go for beef ribs elsewhere.

    This place is amazing! The deviled eggs were out of this world! And the dumplings, to die for! I'm not sure if these is much on this menu that would be disappointing! It's not just a bbq, it's a foodie paradise that serves bbq. Can't wait to return again and soon when visiting Phoenix. Moonshine drinks were also very yummy.

    The food was ok. My companions liked there's a bunch. I may have just ordered the wrong thing. The owner/manager was a super nice guy. Took good care of us.

    We came here for a long lunch on Thursday, enjoyed a few beers (they have my favorite, Mamas Pils, on-tap!), the food was absolutely outstanding. Every bite was wow-worthy. "it's like I haven't eaten in days and this is the first meal." I enjoyed the panko-fried chicken sandwich and my partner had the bbq lunch special with brisket and pulled pork. Very, very good food. We will definitely be back.
