Whether its to dine in for a great meal or just to stop in for a few beers this is the place to go in St.Charles county. Located in New Towne area on the corner of Elm and Fountain Lakes Blvd., north of 370, Rookies has been doing great bar food cuisine for years.
If you love really good wings or a good burger, you owe it to yourself to stop in to Rookies. They offer both, as well as many other bar foods. Beers are always cold and refreshing and you can always catch up on your favorite local sporting event.
Waitresses and bartender always polite and owners are frequently there.
I am passing through and stopped in for lunch and a brew. Amber the bartender asked me my name and immediately made me feel like I was a regular and belonged. Â Food was good, Â beer was cold, service was top notch, and the tab didn't break the bank...I'll be back next time through. Â Mike
Review Source:I started going to rookies every once and awhile when Locos down the street closed. The food is very good for bar food, i usually get the Duval, Fries, and a Drink for around $8. The duval is a huge tenderlion the size of my face and i usuually make 2 meals out of it. The only downside to this place is the smoke and cleanliness. Youll walkout smelling like a 5 year old ash tray and it is some what dirty inside.
Review Source:Rookie's has been here for many years, and I've always wanted to try it. The location is good, the building was new when they moved in, and the outside looked pleasant.
The inside, however, was super-smoky, and the menus were greasy. The waitress was not pleasant, and we actually were told that we had to switch tables to get faster service. They had only five pretty typical beers on tap, and even ran out of one.
My buffalo nachos were good, but the burgers were sub-par. The prices were about the same as in any bar. Nothing special to see here.
Not impressed. Â They ran out of the beer I was drinking after one glass, and didn't have a replacement keg. Â It was perfectly appropriate that the burgers are all hockey themed -- the hamburger could have doubled as a hockey puck. Â The waitress was surly. Â This was our first time there. Â One reviewer mentioned "cheap." Â It was normal bar cost -- not expensive, but not cheap. Â There are a lot of restaurants to enjoy in St. Charles, and no reason to return to a disappointing experience.
Review Source:Junior and I stopped into Rookies today after his soccer game. Rookies is a very typical sports bar located in a shopping center on New Town Boulevard. The walls are decorated with St. Louis sports memorabilia including Blues and Cards jerseys. The bar has multiple HD televisions that are viewable from pretty much any position you're facing. The tv's are very high quality. There is also a big-screen in the restaurant that unfortunately is not HD. Rookies has a large covered patio as well.
The service was very good. Our waitress was affable and attentive and our food came out in a timely manner.
The highlight of our visit to Rookies was the Golden Tee Miniature Golf arcade game. This thing is worth the price of admission alone! Jr. had a blast and played 27 holes of virtual miniature golf on the HD video game.
Meanwhile I caught the 4th quarter of the Rams choke job while scarfing down a cajun chicken sandwich which was named the Trevino if I recall correctly. The sammich was pretty small and was served on a very standard hoagie roll but was still tasty and a generous side of crinkle fries was saddled up next to it. Rookies offers a fairly large menu for a sportsbar.
The place was fairly smoky and full of beer drinking Rams fans so I didn't feel great about staying for too long with Junior. I knew what I was getting ourselves into though. As soon as the Rams choke was complete we ducked out of there.
Rookies seemed to be an excellent place to catch a game and some beers after work or a softball game. Probably not the greatest choice if you're looking for a family friendly environment but then again there are worse places we could've gone too.
Several days ago, suffering from 'cabin fever', I took a drive west to St. Charles, MO. and had lunch at the newest Rookies Bar & Grill. Â Mike (the owner) has three locations; the original in North St. Louis County at 6825 Parker Rd. in Florissant, MO. a franchised location at 1544 S. Service Road Highwy 70 W in Wentzville, MO. and this one at 3721 New Town Blvd. in St. Charles, MO.
Rookies Bar & Grill is not your typical Sports Bar for several reasons. Â Number one is the food! Â I don't consider Mike to be just a cook. Â He's a chef. Â Do you know of another Sports Bar & Grill that serves up mouth watering steaks? Â I'm talking about the Texans Strip - a N.Y. Strip Steak topped with Fresh Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers in Marsala Wine Sauce for $13.99. Â
Just about everything on the menu has a sports related name and just about everything falls into a sports related category. Â Appetizers; or as Mike calls it "Pre-Game". Â There's Onion Rings, Poppers, Toasted Ravioli, and The Nine Yards: A combo platter of Chicken Tenders, Potato Skins and Nachos Grande for $6.99.
Top of The Order - Salads: There's the Rookies Salad, the Ball Four, the Pinch Hitter and of course the Home Run. Â That's tossed greens with Blackened Chicken Strips, Mixed Italian Cheese, Egg, Tomatoes & Red Onion for $6.49. Â Probably enough for two.
Third Round or sandwiches is among my favorites for lunch. Â Today I had Trevino's Favorite. Â That's a Blackened Chicken Breast coated with Cajun Spices, topped with Pepper Cheese served on French Bread with lettuce, tomato & a side of fries for $6.49. Â Beats anything you'll find at Steak 'N Shake.
Rookies Bar & Grill also features daily lunch specials Mon. - Fri. Â You can dine in, or take it to go. Â Children are allowed as long as the kitchen is open. Â And, if I remember correctly, there is a Kid's Menu also. Â Don't worry about the kids over-hearing a bunch of foul-mouthed, pot-belly old drunks either. Â It's not that kind of place.
Mike knows how to order the right food. Â More importantly, he knows how to prepare it correctly. Â He knows how to promote an atmosphere where all are welcome. Â Inside the St. Charles location, there are 5 smaller TVs inside and two on the patio. Â On the bar wall there are two WIDE Screen TVs. Â On the back wall is a mammoth BIG Screen. Â Come cheer on The Cards, The Blues, The Rams and the Mizzou Tigers.
Non-drinkers: No one will ever scoff at you or pressure you into buying an alcoholic beverage. Â I can't drink anymore due to the medications I'm on. Â Coca-Cola is probably served here as much as beer. Â Rookies Bar & Grill rates a full 5 stars in my book. Â Before I forget...thanks go out to my server, Crystal, for an enjoyable lunch.
