Rookies

We eat here often, open 24 hours, very good burgers and pizza. lots of tv screens for sports, great servers

The food here is not even average. My girlfriend and I ordered some pizzas last night and they didn't get the order right. This isn't the first time. This has occurred for us almost every time we have ordered either pizzas or other menu items. It has made no difference whether we were taking it out or eating there. As for the prices, well, it is without a doubt one of the most expensive bar in Incline Village. 4 domestic draft one less than a pint beers cost us $15.00. Additionally, the food prices are also out of control. I am not opposed to paying a little more for something but I expect something in return for it. The pizzas in rookies used to be the best on this side of the lake but a management change has changed that and now you get hard flat bread that is attempting to resemble the former quality that existed when these pizza ovens opened last year. There is no attention to detail by the kitchen staff and the quality and quantity of the food delivered now has dropped considerably.

As for the family atmosphere, it does not exist. One the last occasion that I took my son into Rookies a very drunk patron (grown adult male) kept approaching and harassing my 10 year old. I told this drunk to leave him alone on three occasions and the Bar tender did nothing to change the situation. I was left to handle it myself and I had to contact the local Sheriff's Office to get this drunk to leave my son alone. Let me point out that the Bar tender allowed, contributed, and enabled this drunk. To date my son does not want to return to Rookies and I won't expose him to an atmosphere that is not safe for him.

My condensed opinion of Rookies is this. If money isn't a consideration, then please go there. If food quality and getting what you asked for isn't a requirement, then go there. If you are not worried about your child's well-being, then take them there. If you want to deal with very intoxicated patrons and very drunk owners/managers then please enjoy yourself and go there. We will be spending our money and time somewhere else.

Wow, three years since I've last been here.....

A 3.5 for this meal being bang for buck value.

Stopped by for lunch and saw they were offering an $8 special with rib-eye.  I was starving (had bloodwork done that morning which required fasting for 12 hours previously) so I was ready to eat a small child.  The plate came out quickly - a thin but nicely seasoned grilled 8 oz rib-eye with mashed potatoes, garlic toast and a side of Caesar's salad.  Very similar to what I remember a Sizzler's steak dinner would have been like in 1978.
