Rookies Sports Bar & Grill

Had enjoyed their pizza for a while but have not ordered it for several months. Wow is it bad now! Wife and I threw out most of it. Bread sticks ended up being a small cheese pizza despite the receipt stating bread sticks. Don't think we'll be ordering food from here again. It's too bad as its been a decent local business.

Rookies is what I think of when I think of a dive-y sports bar.

Parking can be a challenge on certain nights so be aware of that. Furnishings and decor are best described as "cheap". Based on some of the clientele there must be a trailer park nearby. If none of these things bother you, read on.

Tuesday is $2 domestic bottle night, 25 cent taco night and half price (eat in only) pizza night. Do I have your attention?

The tacos were awfully good for the 4 for a dollar price. You can ask for sour cream and salsa on the side. The chunky salsa was good if somewhat mild/bland for my taste.

We ordered one of the large thin crust pizzas and it was very good with just the right thickness of crust. Not so thin that it's cracker-like plus the crust had a pleasant, hearty taste. Toppings were generous and flavorful. Only thing I could possibly fault was that the cheese was a bit sparse.

Service was average with the exception that we didn't get water with drinks when we asked for it (had to ask a second time) and no napkins or silverware were given when our food was brought to the table (we got it ourselves). The servers seemed to be pre-occupied with chatting up the regulars. It sucked in our case not being regulars.

Rookies has 2 pool tables, darts, a couple video games, golden tee, and an internet juke box on premise; smoking is outside with no tent or smoking "facility". Sometimes the smoke drifted inside when people were coming in or out.

There is a large room off of the bar area where tables can be moved together if you are in a big group. The acoustics are awful in the back room so get used to saying "What?" a lot.

Overall a solid sports bar that could be made better only by wait staff who were a bit more "with it".

Rookies was my favorite spot in the world. I moved away and i miss it so much. The people, the food, the atmosphere...unbeatable!!  I rate it 5 stars!!
