text: I was excited a new independent restaurant opened around the corner from my house nnUpon being seated at Bootleggers my arm stuck to the table It was difficult to get anyones attention to come wipe the table httpswwwyelpcombizbootleggersfoodanddrinkphoenixnnWe ordered the Crispy Rock Shrimp appetizer which was very tasty yet a very small portion for for marble sized shrimp nnOur dinner was comprised of Beef Brisket Turkey Leg and Cottage FriesnThe cottage fries were horrible They tasted like they were a cheap brand frozen from a bag In fact I buy frozen OreIda fries that are far superior These were below school lunch grade I suggest the Crispy OreIda Crinkle Cuts They are fantastic nnThe Beef Brisket was unlike any I have ever eaten before and I would never eat this one again It was cut horizontally against the grain of the top of brisket It was one inch slice It looked more like an elongated piece of liver It was very dry and barely tasted like brisket due to the cut and thickness The turkey leg was very small maybe long and was also quite dry I am no chef but I can make far superior turkey brisket and OreIda fries at home nnIt seemed that the kitchen was very backed up All the tables were full and everyone was waiting for their food as well as the servers were waiting and starring into the kitchen It seemed that the kitchen was struggling with preparing food for the bar buffet and dinner service After the bar buffet was replenished table service began to flow nnOur server was friendly yet very inattentive I had to wave my drink several times to get the servers attention for a refill and then when it came it was not what I was drinking I gave up on trying to have it corrected The servers passed quickly through the tables without looking or acknowledging their tables nnThe table next to us had issues with their service and getting their full order served as we exchanged exasperated glances It was not until after they were ready to leave that the last dish was finally brought to their table nnI could not wait to get out of there If only I could get the servers attention to bring my check Finally the server had brought out about five checks picked them all up and rang them all out slowly at the same time nnI wish Bootleggers all the luck in the world and hope they can make it and then make it better
