My husband and I can hardly believe what happened to us tonight at Bootsie's.\r
\r
The staff was very nice; however Bootsie's leaves everything to be desired. When we received the check, we noticed that the charge for the chicken and dumpling soup was $9 instead of $6 as printed on the menu. We were told that the soup of the day was the chicken and dumplings--the young lady who gave us the information verified this to Bootsie. \r
\r
Bootsie said: so you want to pay $6 instead of $9 [price of the chicken and dumpling meal]? Well, you can do that if you want. She started to walk off, but then spun around, came back to our table, and SNATCHED the empty carry out containers off the table and stomped off.\r
\r
We were flabbergasted. We were then told, politely, by the young employee that Bootsie said the Restaurant voucher we had was for dine in only and we could not have the containers to take home our left overs.\r
\r
We were taking the food home because we paid for it--NOT because the food was that good. The fried green tomatoes were OK--but 6 slices for $6.50? The Mother Rucker Burger was OK--nothing fantastic @$10.75. The Bootsie Bacon Cheeseburger was just OK @$7.50--NOT anywhere as good as the Bugers at JAX Burger. The Chicken and Dumplings tasted as though they had been in the refrigerator TOO long and reheated TOO many times. The Peach Cobbler could have used some peaches; the top of the cobbler was gummy [$4.25 or $4.50--don't recall].\r
\r
I recall reading a review where the chef/owner at Bootsie's told customers to leave. Guess son and mother are alike.\r
\r
Incidently, we were the only customers in the place. Wonder why??? \r
\r
Sorry can't give less than one star.
