“Southern fried chicken sandwich was great. Anja made our experience over-the-top. We learned of a pet loss as soon as we ordered. Her kindness and compassion are appreciated and will always be in our hearts. She is a beautiful soul ❤️“

“What should I say, ? Local little restaurant - food portions are great ( too big for a European) - waitress was so kind and helpful - service could be a bit faster but we ordered 9 mains so needed time to prepare. The house special ? was great, pizza is not Italian style dough but was good enough to eat. Beer is average nothing special.. The salad was good and the small version is more than enough.“

“Although advertised on their website to be dog friendly, they are not. Saying there was an incident that caused them to no longer allow dogs on their outside patio. So we ordered to go and sat out in their picnic tables with a view of the lake. The server even brought the to go bags out to us“

“I ordered the Swedish pancakes, absolutely delicious! Friendly staff, great service! I will return“

“We didn't get any food or beverage here just ice cream, so Im only reviewing based on other factors. The staff was very friendly and nice. The location is amazing and the prices were really great given the prime location. Had we not had eaten already, we wouldve definitely got some pizza or fries. Will be back.“

“Rookies is an outstanding spot for anyone seeking delicious American food in a welcoming, family-friendly setting. We visited on a Sunday night when all the surrounding restaurants had already closed their kitchens. Thankfully, Rookies was open and ready to serve us at 9:30 PM, demonstrating their reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction. The menu is packed with great American food choices, from juicy burgers to mouth-watering quesadillas, and the generous portions ensure you'll leave fully satisfied.

The place itself is small and cozy, which adds to its charm, but what truly sets Rookies apart is the exceptional staff. Our waiter, EeZee (not sure of the spelling), was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our dining experience delightful from start to finish. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and his warm, welcoming demeanor truly made us feel like valued guests. With plenty of TVs for sports fans, gaming machines for the kids, and pool and air hockey tables for everyone, Rookies offers a perfect blend of dining and entertainment. Despite it not being busy when we visited, the ambiance was still vibrant and enjoyable. The outstanding service and friendly staff make Rookies our go-to spot whenever we’re visiting the area next time.“
