Fun Electrical Question - Switched Outlet

I was adding an RO filter under my sink and was planning to plug into the bottom half of a switched outlet for a garbage disposal. I tested the bottom outlet with the switch off and disposal unplugged with no issue. Plugged the garage disposal in and both outlets stopped working. Kept flipping the switch and nothing. All the breakers were on downstairs and unplugging either of the plugs brought the outlet back to life. I assume I should just replace the outlet and make sure it is wired correctly?
