First off, I'd like to admit that I help Mark Beeler (the owner of all three Des Moines area Rookies locations) with the marketing efforts for Rookies. I put together their website and am trying to get the word out about their restaurants. It's exciting to see a great site like Yelp where people can come and write honest, unadulterated reviews of their favorite (and least favorite) businesses and establishments.

This Rookies location is just down the road from my house and I love stopping in for a true bar and grill meal. The Smokehouse Cheeseburger is my favorite burger and the fries they serve are unlike anything I've seen anywhere else. Rookies has plenty of booths as well as high and low tables for seating so its easy to find a spot you like. There are plenty of TV screens tuned in to all the different sporting events, though I don't usually pay much attention to what is playing.

I go to Rookies because I like the food and the atmosphere. I'd recommend anyone in the area to check it out if you're looking for a new take on the typical "bar and grill" type restaurant.
