Boots Steakhouse - Sylva

I had a truly delicious steak that was cooked just the way I wanted and perfectly seasoned. The baked potato, salad, French onion soup, and rolls were all very appealing as well. The owner was friendly and quickly accommodated us, despite the fact that we didn’t have a reservation. I definitely plan to dine at this wonderful restaurant again.

If I could rate this place with 10 stars, I definitely would! The food is incredible—everything from the cocktails to the main course to dessert was phenomenal! I didn’t manage to take a photo of our main dishes, but I did capture a picture of the Hummingbird dessert (attached). Colleen, the owner, is a true gem, and our waitress, Kate, was just delightful. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience! I highly recommend this restaurant!!

What a fantastic spot for dinner! The service and food were both outstanding! Erin and MaKayla, who was training, gave us excellent service! The salads were delightful, and the rolls were incredible! The outdoor setting is beautiful at night, and the interior is cozy and very inviting. We’ll definitely be back! We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated right away.

When eating at this place you'll notice that they try to capture the esthetic of a western saloon. Unfortunately this can kinda get lost in how the building is layed out so it's understandable. Something to know before hand is they are a reservation only restaurant and they give you a code word to confirm your arrival at the door. So it has some exclusivity to it. The food was great but quite pricey, especially for being the only legitimate steakhouse with a 100 mile radius. Another thing to note is to ask about the other sides not listed on the menu, as our waitress neglected to tell us that side substitution was an option and they only list a few sides. My wife and I had the ribeye with baked potato and summer vegetables. We also ordered fries and a side of rice when we found out there were other sides. Her mother had a sirloin with a loaded baked potato and salad. As an appetizer we had fried green tomatoes that were overcooked on the outside but undercooked on the inside. The major complaint was the wait staff because other than taking orders and bringing food, not much interaction took place.

MUST MAKE RESERVATIONS!!! The atmosphere is kind off here, its really like they tried to make it a fancy saloon but fell short of the goal. But the food is good not great for the price you pay but make sure you ask what other sides they offer cause our waiter didn't give us the option. We had to ask another waiter for the other sides they offered. Wait staff is the main problem here not friendly and only talked when they had to. Steaks cooked great, very juicy. The fried green tomatoes were burnt on the outside and gooey on the inside not the best feeling in the mouth... but other than that it's a good restaurant. But be prepared to spend money when eat here.
