Boondox Bar And Grille

Food was fine, but nickel and dime you for everything. I'm surprised we weren't charged for ketchup.Chicken parm served w fettuccini Alfredo. Chicken portion was very large and was cooked well.Chicken Philly was just ok. A bit greasier than I'd expect for a chicken sandwich (chunks of chicken vs sliced). Because the meat was cubed it falls out of the bun. I'm glad I added the peppers as there wouldn't have been much to the sandwich. Mushrooms added as well (was asked if I wanted mushrooms and pepper mix, I said yes, but wasn't aware they were extras). Very few mushrooms and the chipotle mayo isn't spicy. Was hoping this would have a kick to it but that was disappointing. A side of ranch is $0.50.I wouldn't say we won't be back but I'll definitely scrutinize the menu a bit more before asking for a recommendation and going with that. Service was also fine. We weren't greeted upon entry but once seated a manager brought us menus and drinks and took our order. He was great. Server who followed was fine, checked on us once, brought a refill, and then cleared our plates. There wasn't anything particularly special about the interaction but it wasn't bad either, so again just "fine".Ample parking and plenty of high tops, low tops and seats at the bars. Tons of TVs so especially good for football weekends.

I've been to Boondox a handful of times over the last year and I honestly don't have anything but good things to say. The space is pretty large. Lots of dining area, decent size bar and bar area, and big patio. Has your typical north Midwest feel. There are your expected domestic tap beers along with a few craft beers. Full bar. The food is actually damn good bar food. I've been told from staff it is all scratch made and I would have a hard time arguing. Service is always really good. Bartenders and servers are friendly even if you're not a regular/local. Not a place to drive out of your way for but absolutely a good stop if you find yourself in the northwest burbs and looking for a bite to eat and/or a drink. For comparison, Rockwoods is across the street and pretty popular. I prefer this spot. Follow me on IG: danny_runsforbeer

Had the Packard burger again!! 3 visits 3 Packards. Flame broiled burger, Cheddar Cheese Topped with Bacon. Served with a side of their Signature BBQ Sauce. Fries were good, pickle spear is good. The also have the TouchTunes jukebox that works with an app so u can program your favorite tunes while you're there.

Great food, family friendly and lively atmosphere! This has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the Otsego/Elk River area. Service is always quick and friends. We had Aaron tonight who was attentive, informative, friendly and efficient. He knew the menu and business well and made us feel right at home. From what I could tell, we were only one of many tables he was serving. This was a busy Friday night and he was definitely putting in the effort while making it look easy.I had the Maciver Burger which is always a win. Cooked to order, crispy bacon, crispy onion straws and a sweet and earthy Bourbon glaze. I ordered the sweet potato tots for my side and could not have been happier.The lettuce wraps are refreshing and surprisingly filling, and the kids menu doesn't disappoint. My daughter ordered the salmon as she is wont to do (we have it at home for special occasions) and gave it very high praise. I could not be happier with our choice for dinner. We will keep coming again and again.

This used to be our go to spot for burgers. They are delicious. The kids are also fans of the tacos and pastas. The past few visits have been subpar. Service has been slow. The last visit had us waiting for 15 minutes to even be acknowledged that we were there. The time before that the waitress was efficient but the food took almost an hour to come out of the kitchen. The biggest negative is the place is in a desperate need of a deep cleaning. If the dining area is as dirty as it is I worry about the kitchen being dirty, too. The tipping point for my family to decide to not go back was watching people walking in and out of the restaurant without wearing shoes as they play volleyball outside and come in to use the restroom or get a drink. Gross. If you can look past the hygiene issues and filth, the burgers are great. With other options close by, we have moved on.

I sub on a sand volleyball league at Boondox on Monday nights so I'm there almost every week and I love it. I don't spend a lot of time inside but when I have, I've gotten great service from the bartender. It's usually the same guy and he makes sure to run my food out to my table when I order too close to game time which is awesome. The volleyball courts are great. I can't ask for more than food, drinks and volleyball! Sometimes it can get annoying because they have trees at the back of the courts and the ball rolls in there a lot but it's not that big of a deal. The nice thing about being outside is that at night they have heaters close to the building so you can stay warm on chilly nights in between games. The more I play here the more I think about just popping over on random nights to watch volleyball and grab a drink. The sunset is so pretty and it's so lively. They have bags outside too and a place to wash your feet if you walk in the sand. Plus, the servers are really attentive to the patio. Boondox is a really relaxed and fun place to be. Especially in the area.

The server was good but the food not so much. Do not order the chicken lettuce wraps. The chicken tastes like canned chicken The pasta dishes come out on a cold plate.

Great food and big outdoor space for drinks in the summer. They also have a volleyball league and bingo.

I've been here a couple times and the food is awful. We split wings, nachos and ahi tuna roll appetizers and each disappointed in a unique way. The fried ahi tuna roll had just a sliver of tuna in half a fried roll you'd get at an Asian restaurant. The chips were bland and soggy from the wet lettuce they put on top. The chicken wings had some cheap rub sprinkled on them over top of the breading that was on all of them. The beer and waitress were good.
