Bootleggers Tavern
Aug 5, 2009 by Dotti Ricci from Fairfield Maine
Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[6]

• The service is friendly and fast, the chef is personable and a wonderful cook.
• A little loud if your looking for a quiet romantic style restaurant.

“I eat at Bootleggers usually on Thursday for dinner, because the Farmer's Market is in Waterville Maine and the Chef at Bootleggers shops the market for FRESH items for cooking that night. Last Thursday I had stuffed pork chops with raisins and apples, and his own touch on herbs and his own original dish; his new and creative twice cooked potatoes was seasoned just right and the salad greens were so fresh and tasty. I have never had a bad meal as of yet. The restaurant is a tavern/pub atmosphere with large televisions playing different sport events in every corner, a pool table ready to be used and darts. On a warm evening there is a roof restaurant if you enjoy eating outside. A friendly family like place with something for young and old. I am going back again tomorrow night because I know the meal will be the best in Waterville, cooked by the best chef in Waterville. I rate this restaurant AAA*.”

• The service was okay.
• Small portions, tasteless mushy food, not authentic Mexican food.

“This restaurant is terrible! I ordered 3 cheese enchiladas. You would think that the enchiladas would be large and filled, right? Not so! They were the size of 3 very small tacos and there was only a tiny, tiny amount of cheese in each one. It was microwaved and rubbery. Honestly, I tasted no cheese and only the rubbery texture of 3 very small tacos. That is not how you make enchiladas! On the side, I had some very overcooked, mushy rice (that, too, had zero flavor), and some refried beans that looked like someone literally stomped on them with their shoes. They had little flavor and I have to say, store bought refried beans from the grocery store, in a can, taste better! I am not kidding! The margarita I had was also premixed and not fresh. The waitress went in the back after taking my drink order and came out only seconds later, which obviously means a premix (you know, you can buy those yourself - you just dump it into a glass). Um, I can have that at home! Actually, I don't. I now make my own Mexican dishes at home, and they are fresh and delicious! After leaving Buena Appetite, I was annoyed and felt so hungry. The portions were extremely small. I actually had to go home and make dinner - I was that hungry! It was as though I hadn't eaten (and I'm a medium sized woman). My husband had a burrito and, while it was a little better than my meal, it tasted closer to a Big Mac than it did Mexican. I honestly don't think the owners of the restaurants have a clue as to what Mexican is. At least the name is accurate. Buena Appetite - you will leave with an appetite. Please don't waste your money here. Find a different restaurant or just make good Mexican at home. I've eaten at many different Mexican restaurants (even one close to Mexico), and this is, by far, one of the worst!”

• Unbelievable staff, friendly managers, and community involvement.
• Restaurant is small.

“I have been to this restaurant many times. The staff, some of whom I have never met are all very friendly and act as though I am an old friend. The food is great, and the staff even better. Best restaurant in Waterville.”
