Boot Scootin

Last night, after a full day of car shopping in the heat, Mick’s dad, Ed and I stopped in at the Boot Scootin bar on the edge of Mc Queeney. What a great place! Super-​friendly people and great prices! $ 2.00 for a domestic bottle. I was hungry and their special was a cheeseburger and fries for $ 4.00!
The good: This burger was awesome! One bite and I could tell it was 100% Texas lean beef, which they season themselves. It had a flavorful, slightly peppery taste and was big enough to cover the bun. All the veggies, lettuce, tomato and onion were fresh and crisp. It had that hot and cold thing going on that puts a burger over the top.
The french fries were also tasty, they hand season these as well. They were crispy on the outside and soft and hot on the inside. Pure french fry heaven!
They have a Texas Hold’em tournament on Thursday nights with a $ 10 buy in, which was packed to the gills.
The Bad: The only bad thing is that they allow smoking in the bar, which I don’t like. However, it did not smell like smoke and was not smoky inside so it wasn’t a problem for me.
The Service: Overall pretty good. The food came out quickly and was hot. Lori, the bartender was super-​busy, so sometimes it took a minute or two to get her attention but she always had time to smile and banter a bit. Also, she was cooking as well as bartending and waiting the 3 poker tables which had about 10 people each. She was definitely getting her workout and she handled it all with grace and ease. Freddy, the owmer, was also friendly and had time to chit chat as well.
We will most definitely be returning to this place again and again. It’s great when you can walk in somewhere and feel instantly at home and at ease. If you are ever in that neck of the woods, be sure to stop by this Heart of Texas delight! You will NOT be disappointed
