I’m not big on sports bars in general, the atmosphere is always lacking, but the food at Rookies makes it worth the trip! Everything we ate was top-notch, and the service was great. The prices were inline too for the quality. I can’t recommend the seared blackend prime rib enough if you are a carnivore, and my wife said the salmon was some of the best she’s ate!

We stopped in for drinks on a Saturday night around 8pm. Service was quick and friendly. A few of our party ordered dessert and was happy with their order.

I gave this place three stars because my wife and kid both love it, I just do not understand. Like the food is mediocre at best, there’s not a whole Lotta seasoning. But that’s fine they do add salt and pepper to the table I guess if that’s what your idea of the only seasoning is. It’s lackluster I guess that’s one way that I would put it. But it seems to be a local favorite for everybody, so if you want to try some thing from around here go for it, just bring some garlic with you or something else maybe. This is about the third time I’ve been here, ordered something different every time. And it always turns out the same.

The Arabian Salad tasted ok, there wasn’t much of it and only 2 diced little pieces of tomato- it was only lettuce and spices With tax and tip it was $5 and change.

Everything was delicious. The salmon with the bourbon sauce will “change your life” as my daughter says.

If you want high quality food in a super casual environment this is the place. You are most definitely paying for the food and not the ambiance but it’s worth it. Much better than going to a chain restaurant. They serve delicious fresh baked bread with strawberry butter. Great steak and seafood cooked perfectly. I will warn you not to order french fries unless it’s for the kids…and they were out of several draft beer selections…but otherwise a great meal and I’m happy to recommend.

This place was awesome. The food was great, staff was good! Couldn’t have been happier. Probably going to turn into regulars while we’re here for work.
