Rookies Bar & Grill

This place is old and the service sucks. If u get more then 10 people in here it’s over. But they got cold beer V. Foods not bad.

Me and 7 buddies walked in that place after a long ride home and the service sucks talk about discrimination after being there for 15 min and being ignored we walked out and went to beef shack which was great food. This place not recommending to anyone!

There are way to many menu items, and they call them by some sort of sports name, that makes it difficult to choose because you got to read the whole damn thing, I wont go in there during happy hour as long as they keep employing guerrilla men bartenders. the Neanderthal that works there acts like he is going to kick your ass, and the big guy talks to much to the waitresses. tales too long to get a drink.

I love Rookies and their food, the atmosphere is a sports bar and TVs for any games. I love the buffalo chicken wrap and the delicious crinkle fries. Its a fun time here for groups and they have lunch and dinner specials every day for the month for a great price. This is one of my favorite places in St. Charles to get grub on! Great service too.

I have eaten here at least once a month for the past 5 years. This is my wife and my favorite place to eat. Great wings and salads.

Horrible service. Sitting here for lunch on the patio. No one came out to the patio for 15 minutes, went and ordered my drink at the bar. Asked for a waitress, ordered food… Haven’t seen her in about 20 minutes or more. Still waiting for her to ask if we need a refill or anything else or a check. It’s not even that busy inside. Maybe about 4 tables. This place sucks. The food is OK. Nothing I would go out of my way for.

The food is amazing! The place can get crowded easily on a Friday or Saturday night, so those days service may take a little longer. But their drinks are amazing and the bartenders and servers are very friendly! This place is great to bring along a group, couple friends, or a date.
They also provide big screen TVs to watch a sports game, and a small hidden game room for kids.

We have been going to Rookies for several years but on Super Bowl Sunday this all changed. The is one large bully of a bartender there that has had a attitude mainly towards my friend. The bully bartender called my friend names in front of everyone at the bar and was very rude to me as well. When we went to pay our tab we decided not to tip the bully since he was so rude. We went out to our cars where then we were approached by this angry bully who proceeded to verbally attack my friend and call her names. I came to my friends defense and after he told us not to come back we walked back in and asked to speak to the owner. The bully was screaming at us and told us to get out and he was going to call the police on us and we would get a dui. Really, that is the kind of bartender you want working for your establishment???
What makes things worse is he came at 2 WOMEN and we are both over 50! I did speak to the owner that next day after and told him we would not be back unless he fires the big bully. The owner seemed to be very concerned and told me he would investigate what happened and would call me back. My friend actually went back to Rookies to talk to the owner face to face and got really no satisfaction from their conversation. The owner also never returned my call as well. So as a result of the whole situation and no resolution from the owner we and over 80 or more of our friends and family will no longer EVER return to Rookies. Any owner who lets a big bully continue to work for him and treat customers like this is no place I would ever return. We have talked to several of the people that also work and still go to Rookies and they also told us that the big bully has had attitude with alot of people there and we are not the only ones that won’t be back because of this jerk! Rookies, not a place to go if you want good customer care from a bully bartender of if you think the owner would have done the right thing to keep his good customers!

Ok but nothing to make me want to rush back. I had the French dip sandwich they call the bogey. Not much flavor but was tender. Also had homemade chips but they were a bit on the over done side.

I am passing through and stopped in for lunch and a brew. Amber the bartender asked me my name and immediately made me feel like I was a regular and belonged. Food was good, beer was cold, service was top notch, and the tab didn’t break the bank… I’ll be back next time through. Mike

I started going to rookies every once and awhile when Locos down the street closed. The food is very good for bar food, i usually get the Duval, Fries, and a Drink for around $ 8. The duval is a huge tenderlion the size of my face and i usuually make 2 meals out of it. The only downside to this place is the smoke and cleanliness. Youll walkout smelling like a 5 year old ash tray and it is some what dirty inside.

Rookie’s has been here for many years, and I’ve always wanted to try it. The location is good, the building was new when they moved in, and the outside looked pleasant.
The inside, however, was super-​smoky, and the menus were greasy. The waitress was not pleasant, and we actually were told that we had to switch tables to get faster service. They had only five pretty typical beers on tap, and even ran out of one.
My buffalo nachos were good, but the burgers were sub-​par. The prices were about the same as in any bar. Nothing special to see here.

Not impressed. They ran out of the beer I was drinking after one glass, and didn’t have a replacement keg. It was perfectly appropriate that the burgers are all hockey themed — the hamburger could have doubled as a hockey puck. The waitress was surly. This was our first time there. One reviewer mentioned «cheap.» It was normal bar cost — not expensive, but not cheap. There are a lot of restaurants to enjoy in St. Charles, and no reason to return to a disappointing experience.

Great food and great service! Cheap too!

Junior and I stopped into Rookies today after his soccer game. Rookies is a very typical sports bar located in a shopping center on New Town Boulevard. The walls are decorated with St. Louis sports memorabilia including Blues and Cards jerseys. The bar has multiple HD televisions that are viewable from pretty much any position you’re facing. The tv’s are very high quality. There is also a big-​screen in the restaurant that unfortunately is not HD. Rookies has a large covered patio as well.
The service was very good. Our waitress was affable and attentive and our food came out in a timely manner.
The highlight of our visit to Rookies was the Golden Tee Miniature Golf arcade game. This thing is worth the price of admission alone! Jr. had a blast and played 27 holes of virtual miniature golf on the HD video game.
Meanwhile I caught the 4^th quarter of the Rams choke job while scarfing down a cajun chicken sandwich which was named the Trevino if I recall correctly. The sammich was pretty small and was served on a very standard hoagie roll but was still tasty and a generous side of crinkle fries was saddled up next to it. Rookies offers a fairly large menu for a sportsbar.
The place was fairly smoky and full of beer drinking Rams fans so I didn’t feel great about staying for too long with Junior. I knew what I was getting ourselves into though. As soon as the Rams choke was complete we ducked out of there.
Rookies seemed to be an excellent place to catch a game and some beers after work or a softball game. Probably not the greatest choice if you’re looking for a family friendly environment but then again there are worse places we could’ve gone too.

Several days ago, suffering from ‘cabin fever’, I took a drive west to St. Charles, MO. and had lunch at the newest Rookies Bar & Grill. Mike (the owner) has three locations; the original in North St. Louis County at 6825 Parker Rd. in Florissant, MO. a franchised location at 1544 S. Service Road Highwy 70 W in Wentzville, MO. and this one at 3721 New Town Blvd. in St. Charles, MO.
Rookies Bar & Grill is not your typical Sports Bar for several reasons. Number one is the food! I don’t consider Mike to be just a cook. He’s a chef. Do you know of another Sports Bar & Grill that serves up mouth watering steaks? I’m talking about the Texans Strip — a N.Y. Strip Steak topped with Fresh Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers in Marsala Wine Sauce for $ 13.99.
Just about everything on the menu has a sports related name and just about everything falls into a sports related category. Appetizers; or as Mike calls it «Pre-​Game». There’s Onion Rings, Poppers, Toasted Ravioli, and The Nine Yards: A combo platter of Chicken Tenders, Potato Skins and Nachos Grande for $ 6.99.
Top of The Order — Salads: There’s the Rookies Salad, the Ball Four, the Pinch Hitter and of course the Home Run. That’s tossed greens with Blackened Chicken Strips, Mixed Italian Cheese, Egg, Tomatoes & Red Onion for $ 6.49. Probably enough for two.
Third Round or sandwiches is among my favorites for lunch. Today I had Trevino’s Favorite. That’s a Blackened Chicken Breast coated with Cajun Spices, topped with Pepper Cheese served on French Bread with lettuce, tomato & a side of fries for $ 6.49. Beats anything you’ll find at Steak ‘N Shake.
Rookies Bar & Grill also features daily lunch specials Mon. — Fri. You can dine in, or take it to go. Children are allowed as long as the kitchen is open. And, if I remember correctly, there is a Kid’s Menu also. Don’t worry about the kids over-​hearing a bunch of foul-​mouthed, pot-​belly old drunks either. It’s not that kind of place.
Mike knows how to order the right food. More importantly, he knows how to prepare it correctly. He knows how to promote an atmosphere where all are welcome. Inside the St. Charles location, there are 5 smaller TVs inside and two on the patio. On the bar wall there are two WIDE Screen TVs. On the back wall is a mammoth BIG Screen. Come cheer on The Cards, The Blues, The Rams and the Mizzou Tigers.
Non-​drinkers: No one will ever scoff at you or pressure you into buying an alcoholic beverage. I can’t drink anymore due to the medications I’m on. Coca-​Cola is probably served here as much as beer. Rookies Bar & Grill rates a full 5 stars in my book. Before I forget… thanks go out to my server, Crystal, for an enjoyable lunch.
