To say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement. The chicken was so tasteless that if I had been blindfolded I would not have been able to tell what I was eating. Even the chips were bland and tasted like old potato despite visibly being covered in seasoning. No amount of All Gold could save that meal. And to top it off, this incredibly bland meal made me incredibly sick for the next 24hrs. -10/10. Definitely would never recommend. The view is the only good thing about this place.

Where do I begin. The service was amazing. We got attend The food was amazing. Everything was amazing especially our waiter Alan (I think that how you say your name, I’m sorry if I said it wrong). He was sweet and made me and my friend feel so welcomed. Because of him I will be coming back. Nothing but good things about this Bootleggers, probably the best in Cape Town.

I went to Bootleggers today with my colleagues. We were there at about 9h40 and the place wasn’t that busy.We ordered our drink and when they arrived they were not piping hot but more warm. However I did enjoy my chai latte.We ordered our foods, which came out at a decent time. The buttermilk flapjacks was not a hit. It was too thick, floury and so little golden syrup. Definitely not light and fluffy as you would expect.Also got the cheese and tomato sandwich, which was average. I also ordered chips on the side, some were very over done. Having ordered chips no one offers you sauce, which most places do especially if it’s not on the table. Eventually they bring the sauce in a gravy jug when asked.The croissant breakfast rolls were good and enjoyable. They were a decent size and filling.My experience was not excellent. But I would like to return and give Bootleggers another chance to redeem themselves.

The opening hours are wrong - they offer takeaways at 8, but only open for sit down at 9. The staff were understandably annoyed at us showing up at 8 (with a few rude comments) but the baristas and one waiter were lovely and welcoming which we so appreciated after a long drive. Planned the whole morning around their advertised opening hours, and apparently it’s a daily occurrence so whoever is in charge clearly doesn’t care enough to update them. It’s especially frustrating as a place specifically marketed towards parents of young children.

My 5 year old and I went to the aquarium. Popped into Bootlegger for a bite to eat. Now admittedly I have been to the Bootlegger in Century City a few times and it's not a franchise I would normally go to with my kids, but this specific Bootlegger next to the aquarium is quite kid friendly and has some nice outdoor seating.My daughter had kids chicken strips which were really nice and the portion was generous. I even asked if the waitress was sure its a kids portion.I did a DIY breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, chicken sausage and sourdough bread.My only criticism, and this is across the entire franchise is that I prefer my coffee in a proper mug.

The service here could be better in terms of the number of staff available- especially for busy days and public holidays. The waiters were friendly but you could tell they were overwhelmed which was unfortunate.The food itself was decent, although it did take very long for us to get it. The chicken strips for the kids were very dry but the pizza was flavourful. The milkshake was the highlight- it was a proper milkshake made with real ingredients rather than being filled with flavourings and colourants. That was really great.Overall the value for money was not great but I would visit again on a day that’s not so busy to reevaluate them. Perhaps avoid them on weekends and public holidays.

Bad service, orderd coffee and something to eat for takeaway. Paid and got my drink, then the server (after asking for a tip) immediately started serving the next person's food and ignoring my food order that I paid for.
