Rapid River Magazine: Tell us a little about Bogart’s.

Blake Sneed: Bogart’s Restaurant has always placed top priority on keeping our new and previous customers happy. We have just put out an updated menu with several additions made to accommodate requests that have been made over the past years.

RRM: What’s your secret to keeping customers coming in? What have been some of your most successful promotions, and where did they originate?

BS: Our exceptional hostesses and wait staff are friendly and truly enjoy our customers. This seems to be apparent. We treat them like family. We have daily lunch and dinner specials as well as featured items every day! We also post daily on our Facebook page with our specials and features for that day.

RRM: What dish is your signature dish and why that particular dish?

BS: The 7 oz. filet mignon is outstanding and has been the favorite for years. Consistently tender, hand cut, flame-grilled to order and affordably priced. Doesn’t get any better!

RRM: By the way, what’s your favorite dish off of the menu?

BS: We have started making our own soups and trying out some different items as specials. We’re trying to give the customers some daily variety. Just call or check Facebook to see what we have for the day. My favorite soup in particular is the chicken and dumplings and I really enjoy the Caesar wraps we have been making for Friday lunch as well.

RRM: Does Bogart’s have any specials?

BS: We have hand cut Choice Angus 8 oz. Ribeyes! Served with a side of your choice, salad, and warm bread! Friday nights, 4 p.m. until we close.
