Rook's East Side Saloon

Let me just say I am a wing aficinado and Rooks has it going on. I ordered cajun extra crispy with the fresh cut fries. Celery & carrots w/ blue cheese. The I tried was Great Lakes "Elliot Ness pale ale very good beer. My wife had the mild buffalo with fresh cut fries celery carrots w/ blue cheese. Her beer leinenkugel "Summer Shandy" We will definitely be back.

I came here because it was listed as a best steak salad place by my FB friends. Steak salad was awesome. I have also had tacos and waffle fries which were cold. The rooks grilled cheese with bacon and tomatoe was the best I've ever had.

Rook's is a good local hangout with the usual "bar food".  Service is always good.  I usually get a steak or chicken salad after some appetizers.  Steak is always cooked to order and chicken tender and juicy not like jerky that you get at other places. Hubby gets a burger which is just a frozen patty.  Chicken Tortilla soup is to die for.  Finding out that the soup is purchased in bulk and not homemade was a disappointment though.  The atmosphere is a bit dingy and could use some updating and a fresh coat of paint.
