Bootleggers Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Waterloo

Clay was our server and was great. The food was amazing, hard to find a place that servers fried green tomatoes. We had our grandkids 11&12 with us and they loved the food, in fact our grandson had 2nds on the mac and cheese, said it was the best he's had from a restaurant. We had several appetizers, cheese curds 9.5-10, jalapeno poppers 9-10, fried green tomatoes 10-10 they were amazing. I had the Butch Cassidy Burger 9.5-10, added pickles made it a 10. Husband had the Annie Oakley 10-10, he was very satisfied. Kids meals were standard except mac and cheese, it was excellent according to my grandson. We were there on a Saturday evening around 6, best time for families. Will be going back to enjoy the later time. They have a stage so I'm guessing live music at times. Just need a...

Staff is very nice and proficient. We had zero issues with the staff. We were very happy with our service. The atmosphere is just like any other bar. The only difference is that it's a country themed bar. We ordered cheese balls for an appetizer. They were some of the smallest little balls of cheese I have ever been served. They did taste just like normal fried cheese. My wife ordered a pulled pork sandwich, and I ordered a chimi. She enjoyed her sandwich with pineapple cole slaw. The fries were unique and pretty good. Now, the chimi was a whole different story. It's mainly rice with some meat and cheese. It had a very salty taste to it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you want an excellent chimi, go to Horny Toads in Cedar Falls. Overall, it wasn't too bad, and we will probably...

Went here for dinner with my best friend and her 5-year-old. The place was very busy, but we took the last available table. Service was wonderful. The server was attentive, even though we were tucked in a corner, and he was very personable. He seemed like he really enjoyed his job! The food was fantastic with good portion sizes. All three of us enjoyed our meal. They were also having $3 well vodkas, so we had a couple of those and they were good. There was a duo performing which made for nice background noise. From where we were sitting (in the nook opposite the stage area), the music wasn't too loud or too quiet. We didn't stick around too long since we had a kid with us, but it seems like the type of bar I'd enjoy going to on a night out...
