We popped-in for the 1st time & loved it. Great burgers that tasted like they were made with love. Fries cooked perfectly. Music was great. Kind people working. We look forward to going back!

Excellent service. Stopped here back in May of '25 and had great service as well. The chicken sandwich was very good. Most recently had their hand-dipped chicken fingers, and cheese curds, and my friend had a Rooney burger with grilled onions. All were very good! Plenty of parking for a bike stop. Cute clean bar/restaurant clean bathrooms, nice patio. Check them out!

Rooney’s has an incredible atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. And Rooney’s has amazing food! I was there on Wednesday night and the bartender/waitress was very good and accommodating. Their burgers are delicious and make sure you get the Rooney’s sauce!!

Cute place. Service was bad. Not even that busy and had to chase down the server for the second beer and the check. Food was okay. Smash burger was good. Just good. Chicken sandwich was tender, moist and my biggest peeve: one thick piece of grilled chicken breast eclipsed by a weak bun. People, learn to flatten a piece of chicken and serve it on a bun that doesn’t fall apart. It was overpriced for what was delivered. 22 mile drive on a coworker’s recommendation. Ummm, no.

The Roony burger was fantastic. Thursday night is trivia night, so it's busy and noisy. The weather was great so we sat in the outside area.

Overpriced and overrated by the town locals.
$50 plus tip for an order of mushrooms ,2 burgers and 2 sodas. Bartender was rude and too busy socializing with other staff to refill drinks.
