"Bootleg Special is the perfect outing for a birthday, or just treating yourself to a fantastic seafood boil (heavy on the garlic). For those with a sweet tooth, don’t skip beignets after dinner or the souffle pancakes at brunch." - Erika Adams
"Southern-rooted spot Bootleg Special offers late-night $1 oysters on Friday and Saturday, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. (Note: The kitchen closes at midnight, so get those orders in beforehand.)" - Erika Adams
"Southern-rooted spot Bootleg Special offers $1 oysters every Thursday, from 4 p.m. until close." - Celina Colby, Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"You know who doesn’t have to deal with snow? People who are smart enough to live in New Orleans. Pretend you’re one of them at this Cajun seafood place in the South End. With chandeliers, wrought-iron balconies, and things like cajun fried rice and lobster-crab mac and cheese, it’s the closest thing Boston has to the French Quarter." - dan secatore
"While Bootleg Special is best known for its seafood boils, don’t skip its small plates. The “Ribs on Coke” are perfectly tender with a sticky, sweet sauce made with cherry flavored Coca-Cola, and the garlic noodles are a generous portion and perfect for sharing alongside a seafood boil. Bootleg Special is open for indoor dining, takeout, and delivery." - Karen Wilber
