Rookies Restaurant — Restaurant in Henderson

So my family and I decided to cross that money saving bridge and go to Rookies because my husband has never eaten there before and I’m always talking about how good the strawberry butter is.

I googled Rookies to see their hours for a Friday night and it said they close at 2am. So we headed there around 8pm. When we arrive there is a sign that says the kitchen closes at 9 wtf?! But we’re here now so I order all our food cause I knew what I wanted. I got the fried green tomatoes, catfish, and my husband got the chicken tenders and fries. I ordered a Long Beach and he ordered a modelo. They didn’t have modelo but they did have corona. She brought our drinks and brought my husband a Corona light. As a bartender/server myself you always ask before you just bring a drink that’s not what they asked for. She brought it already opened and I asked and she said they didn’t have any regular ones. Well what you’re not gon do is force me to drink the light one. My drink wasn’t good either but we kept them both and didn’t send them back. The server should have taken the corona light off because we didn’t ask for that, but she didn’t.

Hubby enjoyed his chicken tender and the fried green tomatoes were good. I asked for some bread and butter she she said it was wrapped up for the night. WELL UPWRAP IT AND BRING ME SOME. If the kitchen is open until 9 everything in it should be available until then.

This was a terrible experience at Rookies. You need your hours on google to reflect what they really are for the bar and restaurant. I later went to your website that says you close at 10, it doesn’t says the kitchen closes and hour before. All very confusing for customers. This isn’t the 1st time someone has complained about the hours (as I look at other reviews) so to me that says Rookies doesn’t care about confusing their patrons. This was my 1st experience on the family side because I had my baby. I never want to sit on this side again, the service is better in the bar. My server didn’t know anything and checked on us once. I didn’t like my experience or service. All the Henderson locals hype Rookies but it’s trash now. Not what it used to be… 0 of of 10, do not recommend! Not worth the...

I was in town for only one night and I strolled into Rookies by myself knowing nothing about the place. I sat at the bar and was greeted quickly, served quickly, and given just the right amount of attention from the staff. Neither overbearing nor missing in action. A fine line that many have tried to walk and failed. My applause to the house.

The picture I posted of my burger isn’t going to win any awards for presentation, but that’s more on me than the chef. It was delicious without being pretentious, the way that a good burger is supposed to be. If I was to offer any complaint, and I would have to reach, it’d be to suggest that cheddar would be better than American. Nevertheless, the patty was cooked correctly to temp, which is often not the case on hamburgers. The patty was served on a saucer separate from the bun so that the juices didn’t ruin the bun. A solid choice.

So my complaints are minor, cheese and beer. I offer them only to appear critical, distinguished, and even-handed. Beer-wise, I would have liked to have seen Miller or Coors on draft — and the beer world would like me to develop better taste. Touché.

All in all — would recommend to anyone, and if I was local, I could see myself...
