Decent food, cheap prices and good deals though. Manager is a good guy, had a problem with our meal and he fixed it right away, apologized, and took it off our bill.

Went on a Saturday night, felt more of like a week day instead of the weekend wasn’t busy at all, asked for a fishbowl and what kind they had to offer. The waitress colleen, had no idea what they had, she said just get any drink and we’ll put it in a fishbowl. um OK? also, she didn’t ID us either. So she basically could of gave minors some alcohol. Colleen said she was underage and didn’t know any mixed drinks, but had time to take shots in the back with the other employees. very professional. The rookies in Elgin, is way much better!!!

Would I come here for sober, amazing pizza? No.
Did I come here for drunk pizza at 12:30am and was I satisfied? Yes.
That’s all.
P. s. — the crust is basically a glorified cracker. But I’m tipsy so… That’s semi-okay until I got half way through.

Great place to watch a game. Very family friendly. Few months out of year they have dollar burger specials.

Do they think they can get me hooked on their burgers by selling them for a dollar all month? HECK YEAH! I’m hooked. Great burger. A million TVs. Nice service. Coming back even after the September special is over. Oh, and awesome fresh made chips.

Friday afternoon bartender sucks, who seems to be popular??? No clue how to visit and ask customers and service the lunch needs. Food is obviously a big part of their business. I spent more time talking with patrons and discussing the terrible service. Asked for menu and a beer. 20 minutes later get a beer. Have to ask for menu twice. Finally after many attempts to order food, gave up and left no tip. Even sat and talked with manager who was clueless to the bad service from bartender.

I used to eat here on a regular basis years back, but had a horrible experience with the owner’s brother in law not being able to control his drunk friends at the bar.
I ended up going back a few weeks back to watch a UFC event and pretty much the staff was rude and the service was slow.
Only good thing is their $ 1 burgers, other than that I much rather go to BWW to watch the UFC fights.

After the first visit, I should have never gone back. The bartenders are not good to rude. They have a habit of messing up the orders and the owner has no excuse expect, that’s not good. How do you screw up three orders? My wife’s hamburger and my sons order came out ten minutes after the small pizza I ordered. Yep, I guess that is not good! Then the owner and bartender ignored us for the rest of the time. We will not be back!!!

Pretty sure the Chili is Hormel chili. LOL.
The food is not impressive. My wife and I have come here a few times in the summer and every visit was just OK.
I’ve never had anything on the menu that made me want to come back again.
Service was just ok.

One of the few places that has all you can eat crab legs in the area (Saturdays).
The staff is friendly, albeit slow at times. We have also been here for burgers and such and never experienced some of the issues I am reading here, and we have been coming here on and off since they opened. The one time we did get rude service, we noticed when we came in the next few times that individual was no longer there.
The food, especially the crab legs, are excellent. Not soggy and over cooked like many places. The wait staff comes by when yu are about halfway through to ask if you want more. If you finish what you have first, that is where the wait times come in.
This is one of those places if you just want to drink, watch sports or bring in the whole family for food all will be comfortable.
We have and will continue to recommend.

Let me start by saying this place is highly over rated, and it is a place that one would go if you are depressed and want some cheap burnt food. The only thing that makes it an attractive joint is that it has specials all the time. But are you really getting quality food? The answer is no. The fact is, is that what you are getting is heartless food. There is no heart that is put into their cooking and I will most likely never step foot into Rookies again.

So their summer specials on food are great and all but I had to take off a star for our last visit there! Our waitress was not attentive whatsoever. Our mini tacos and corn dog nuggets were soggy, definitely not as crispy as they should’ve been. It literally took like ten minutes for her to even come back to get them and have them remade. On a visit before that we figured we’d try their pizza which looked delicious at the table next to ours. That was the biggest disappointment. It looked so delicious and flavorful but tasted the complete opposite! It was horribly bland. The sauce had no kick to it. My piña colada was tasty but could’ve had more of a slush to it. Family friendly place but those two experiences made my 5 stars go down one. Maybe next time will be better!

1) they overcharge you on your bill. PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION.
2) their shots are not full shots, but you will pay full price. They use small shot glasses and tell you it’s a normal shot. BEWARE.
The bar itself is fun but this place is a rip off.

Hanging out at St Charles with the boyfriend n the brother :)
Stopped at Rockies for some food because the boys didn’t feel like dealing with the crowds at the fall festival. Let me tell you a couple of things:
~not very clean
the table was filthy
~food was not good.
I had the chilli and it was just some sort of tomato mush. Our sampler platter was incomplete, it was missing the cheese sticks and my boyfriends burger did not have the ingredients he asked for.
~Slow service
we waited a very long time for drink refills and our check
This place might be good for drink and to watch sports since there were so many flat screen TVs
