What's Up With Bootsies??

[OlderPhiladelphian]

My goodness. First, they opened up as an overpriced hamburger and sausage joint. Price wise they could not compete with Five Guys and and their prices, Loie served a much better hamburger with better ambience. That failed completely. Now it is a full service resturant with higher prices then Matyson which is right across the street. I give them until March 1st to close up forever.

I'm going there on Friday for lunch. I'll give a review on the meal. The gourmet hamburger thing didn't seem to work.

I went to Bootsie's recently for lunch. No specials. two apps., two lunch portion entrees, two soft beverages, one dessert. $60. pre-gratuity.

On price alone I am not motivated to go back.

I'll let a more established member do an actual food review.

The house white was a Modavi Pinot Grigio that sells for $9 a bottle at the liquor store.

I'd like to see a good sandwich place in there. Good steaks, hoagies, pork, etc...Too high of rent I guess. Rittenhouse needs a bone in terms of sandwiches.
