Rookies Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Saint Charles

Best Garlic Parmesan wings. Update - Taking the stars down because of our last encounter: We have been here a few times, and have had mixed results. The place is small, but the food can be really good. The last time we came here, I ordered the garlic parm breaded wings, and my husband ordered the wings not breaded and naked with sauce on the side. My wings were big and meaty, and his were scrawny and sad. He was very disappointed. I gave him half of mine to tie him over. Since the two came out together, you would think that the cook would have noticed the disparity and try to make up for it in some way. But they didn't and that ended up a bad thing. We left, wondering if we would ever give the place another shot. The jury is still out, but knowing how my husband is, I'd say, we probably won't.

Last night was great. This afternoon . . . not so much. It's a bar. Not a restaurant. Stepped in for food and drinks last night. Goods and services were tremendous. Went back the next afternoon for the England versus Tunisia World Cup game. Patio service was dreadful.

All one can do is just disregard the tip and leave an incisive review. People will be people. Hopefully this will serve as a...

The typical bar food is amazing and the drinks are strong. The "shortage of workers" now days makes the service a bit slow. Which kinda stinks. These poor dedicated people are overwhelmed and overworked. These young ladies and men who work at this place bust their humps to get their food and drink orders out in a timely manner, but they can't keep up.

This is a very friendly neighborhood, family/friendly kind of place. The last several times I have been there I have made note of the many families with their kids/ grandkids during typical dinner hours. In addition, I saw a sign this evening saying they close at 9pm every evening. Obviously not a typical St. Charles bar that causes trouble in our...
