Poor dining experience. Was visiting Auburn from out of town--took my wife out for our 32nd Anniversary dinner. Wife ordered the filet of beef and it was covered in a sauce that was so spicy--had to send it back. Took forever to have the filet properly re-prepared. Overheard the chef say he "went a little crazy on the cayenne pepper".... More

We had a party of six people for dinner. The waitress had an attitude and was not friendly nor was she attentive. When the food came, one in our party had ordered friend chicken which turned out to be chicken tenders that had come out of an oven. Three of us had the beef brisket which was so tough, you... More

As locals, we are happy to visit Bootleggers in Old Town Auburn often. We love the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the staff is always friendly. We've tried many of their menu specials, all which were tasty, but our favorite is their chicken pot pies. Nick and Courtney, who tend bar, are excellent servers, who make each patron feel welcomed.... More

This is my daugthers favorite restaurant and we went to celebrate last Friday for her getting into her #1 college. We were disappointed by our experience. We had reservations for 7:30pm but wasn't seated until 8:10pm. We didn't receive bread or water for several minutes and then when the bus boy came to fill up our glasses, he spilled water... More

Food was ok, service was slow, place was pretty busy though. A bit on the pricey side. For my money, drive another five minutes up the highway and go to Dingus McGee's for a more diverse and better menu.

Delicious meals! My favorite: Korean Flank Steak, mmmm. White linen on the tables, a cozy fireplace, indoor and outdoor dining in Old Town Auburn.

My wife and I have dinner here every Thursday night. The dining room is fine, but we prefer to eat in the bar area. That is because Courtney, the bartender, will make sure that you get great service. Food is nothing spectacular, but always good and there is always a variety of choices. They will typically have a number of... More

My husband and I always love this place. We know we can have great beer with seasonal options. My husband loves the Landjager homemade sausages that hang behind the bar, served sliced with great mustard, as well as the simple but yummy shrimp. I love the Korean Skirt Steak, a house specialty! A little noisy with talking, but live piano.... More

We have always know about it but it looked like a laid back kind of bar or something. To our surprise it was very nice inside and they had a great menu. We just poked our head in to check the interior out and ended up making reservations for dinner. Both of our meals were very good and the service... More
