Watching any sports game here is better than watching at the stadium. Food and drinks are better! Best nachos in the area. Ribs are amazing.

Great sports bar with lots of Chicago sports memorabilia, great service from a lot of friendly staff, but the food only hits halfway home. The pizza comes in two kinds of cooked; either halfway done or really overcooked and still undercooked under its shell. But the wings? They're an amazing different story. Better than Buffalo Wild Wings to me.

I miss the bar days of yesteryear. Rookies has truly transformed this bar into a sports bar so don't expect what you might remember.Bright lights, Tvs on ever surface and folks rooting for their favorite sports. It's great... As a sports bar, unfortunately for me that's not really my thing.

First time to this place. I like the surroundings. It is clean. I also noticed the military logo hanging on the wall. My husband is retired USAF, so I appreciate it when I see something when it comes to the military.Our server is nice and very attentive. (I forgot her name)The food is good, and I love homemade chips. Every time a restaurant has a homemade chip, we always come back to that place. We will come back.

First time at any Rookies locations but Mac n cheese with brisket I did get brisket on the side to check it all out. The brisket tasted,looked and smelled like corn beef. But the waitresses said no nk sir it’s the brisket. The Mac n cheese had a grainy look and taste to it. Remember you can buy gift cards there for Village squire I suggest village squire they know how to make Mac n cheese if you order mac & cheese and brisket at rookies, you will get grainy tasting and looking mac & cheese, and corn beef, not brisket j mean do they think we haven’t cooked and smoked a brisket before I definitely could tell the difference that is corn beef.

A couple of these are near us. Dependable stop for a decent meal.We like them a bunch while not our goto, you can get a nice meal from a broad selection. Good drink menu, appetizers and entrees. I don't think you can do wrong.Parking: Typical downtown parking arrangement with a city parking lot in back of establishment.Wheelchair accessibility: A few handicap spots on the city street, but nowadays, everyone seems to have a placard. Go figure.

Nice looking place, but horrible service. Seems just the old place. 6 ( workers) hanging.. looking at phones and chatting. Had to get attention after getting menu.I'd expect a lot better attention to detail and customers!Better off going to a smaller place not corporateJust got food... Tiny pieces of chicken for too much money and was cold!
