Stopped in here last night with 15 people last minute. We were sat down quickly and the guy who served us was awesome and patient with the amount of kids we had as well. Beer was great, food was even better. Will absolutely be back. The Korean BBQ wings are a new favorite of mine as well. Great staff.

Always great specials and 10min or less you have food in front of you (depending on the volume of people of course ) Sweet front patio dining, covered patio dining & in the summer there is a huge awesome back patio covered with white tent . Dog friendly as well ... They will prob treat the fur baby better than you

First time there for wing day and it was great! Bar tender/server was very friendly and very efficient. All the staff we interacted with were great. The star of the show was the food. The wings an order of hot and Bourbon BBQ glaze were perfectly cooked and the fries were great. We will definitely return!

The acoustics are a little rough, it got extremely loud at some points. However, it's a sports bar so that's to be expected. We stopped here for the first time, everything was amazing. From the food to the service. Will definitely be stopping back in!

Stopped in during a bar crawl. Very friendly staff & great atmosphere. We ordered the pretzel sticks & tots, both were amazing and the drinks were good and strong. Can’t wait to come back and try more.

I have made it to order Cubans wherever I go, it's one of my favorite sandwiches. The Cuban Melt at Rookies today was among the best I've ever had. If not the best, a close 2nd. I wasn't even planning on stopping this afternoon for food, but as we were walking by decided to stop in. So glad we did. The server was great. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

I found the service excellent and the wings delicious! I was there with a guy with a red hat and white beer. The atmosphere was a mix of sports on the many TVs with blues music on house speakers.

  • Flatbreads: Their Cheese and Pepperoni Flatbread, priced at only $9.50, is a delightful start, but don't overlook the Steak Flatbread, which boasts thinly sliced beef, mozzarella, and a zesty horseradish sauce for just $10.25. A true crowd-pleaser!
  • Wings and Chicken Fingers: Rookies takes their wings seriously, and they’re justifiably proud of their crispy offerings. Reviewers rave about the Korean BBQ wings, perfect for those who crave a little spice. For $12.50, you can indulge in a single order of crispy wings that come out perfectly cooked every time.
