  Good service, horrible food.  I ate there on a Monday and was sick until Thursday.

  It is what it is.  Burgers looked big.  I had a wrap that was ok at best.  My group did enjoy the "blitzers" I believed they called them.  120 oz of beer for 18 bucks.  We were there to watch the NCAA tournament games.  It served its purpose.

  I think that some people when opening a sports bar feel that all they need is about a half a dozen chicken sandwiches and a few burgers and wings, any one can do it. Well, not everyone can do it well, including Rookies. I had a french dip that was on the whole flavorless, and the service was just okay (they had the bartender working the dining room during their lunch hours). If your going to just watch a game there is quite a few televisions, thus if your going for wings and sports it may be okay, your probably better suited to going to Champps which has very good food and just as many televisions

  They have a huge plate of nachos here that go good with the ice cold beer and just about any football game that you want!  The staff here is fast and very friendly!  I have never sat outside but I have seen people out there eating and watching TV's outside on the side patio.

  I'd give Rookies 3.5 stars if I could. It wasn't horrible, nor was it wonderful.
  
  I will say that the beers were extremely and awesomely cold.  The jalapeno poppers were good, and probably frozen just 8 minutes before we ordered them.
  
  I shared a "7 inch" pizza that probably was NOT 7 inches.  Why must people lie about size?  
  
  It's a sports bar in every sense of the word. There are HUGE TV's all over the place, most showing a different sport from the next. The band warm up was a little obnoxious, but they didn't officially start until after we left (a little glad about that, as all we wanted was some food). I guess there's a DJ on some nights, too.
  
  We had a large table and had good service, so thumbs up for that.
  
  If Granite City (next door) tells you that you'll have to wait an hour for your party of 10, Rookie's may be worth a shot!
