    Rookie's is a sports bar so I recommend dining in during a game. We stopped in for lunch and had an okay experience. I ordered the philly beef sandwich with fries and it was good for this type of spot.

    The experience was just unacceptable. Went at lunch time. Only 1 worker, and 3 other customers. Had to sit ourselves, go retrieve silverware ourselves, ask for refills. The only time the waitress came by was to bring us our drinks the first time. Had to wait and wait for the bill only for the bill to say 20% gratuity was added for parties of 1 or more. Which this place has not done before. I think she knew she wasn't going to get a tip.

    So loud. Should have been a nightclub not a bar. Bartenders too busy to even get order

    Came in to watch the giants game. Head to toe giants stuff. Ask to have one of the 20 TVs on the game. They change it on a scoring drive to another random game. There is ten people in this place...no reason couldn't have the game on. I proceed to watch the game on my phone. Not one of the workers catches on. Server was not attentive and truthfully could have cared less (and as a former server...it take ALOT for me to say that). Food was Pretty good...but don't bother wasting your time here on a Sunday if your goal is to cheer on your team. The staff should realize it's a sports bar.

    Not much to say here as Rookie's is your standard sports bar. One thing I do want to point out though is that it was so interesting that they had samosas on their menu. Was told by an Indian coworker that they're probably from Costco... Not sure how much of an assumption that was, but if true, I couldn't taste the difference! Regardless of where they were from, they were delicious and I was very intrigued by an American sports bar serving a classic Indian snack/appetizer.

    First time trying to place. Ordered to go. inside looked like your typical old looking bar but was fine. Food was good. only complaint is that fries needed to be in the fryer probably another minute. when i first called to order, i got voicemail which i thought was odd. I called back and someone answered. I'd go back and try it again.

The drinks are pretty good, and they have a lot of non-alcoholic selections that are flavored teas or whatever. Lots of mixed drinks as well. The play is fun. You can bring in your own clubs, but for the most part it is amateur, so don't worry if you cant hit the ball a mile. Most people use a lot of mulligans. Always a couple show offs that think they are pros, but whatever makes them happy. The games are cute, and great for 6 or less people. We always have fun, especially when the worst one there always wins because some of the higher scoring "drives" are the chippers that barely make it off the tee. I like hitting from the 2nd or 3rd floor, just seems cooler, but maybe I'll try bottom next time. The only negatives are the sometimes poor service (I always love when I see my server for a greet and then to shut off my lane a get the bill :(... Also, it was pretty hot, and although shaded, the oscillating fan's in our particular bay were not moving and only pointing at the bay's to the right and to the left of us. We were by the door to the bar, through, and got a gush of refrigerated air once in a while...

I know that's all topgolf location but it's kind of a weird business practice. Also it was hard to find the staff to help out or set up so I felt like we had to call them over to get any service. The technology kind of sucks. It wouldn't recognize a lot of hits we did and it was kind of disappointing. Also the waving technology to get the ball to come out took many attempts and was really slow. It also stopped prematurely so felt scammed out on the full time. Also the staff at the front doesn't really know any information on some of the deals. I asked about the monthly membership and the stuff just said look online as they didn't know anything about it but it was advertised in front of them. I also wish there was a mode where you can just hit the ball and it tracks it stat wise with no game mode.

The menu online as I write says the 12 oz. 28 day aged ribeye is $29.89 including grilled mushrooms, roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes. I recall being slightly disappointed that baked potatoes were no longer an option, but the food was so good, that was not an issue. Service was good, the food was good. I thought it was worthy of the occasion. I have been to this store on at least 6-8 previous visits, although I did not usually get steak. I usually got one of their sandwiches. I liked all those I've had. There is another CAH closer to me that gets terrible reviews. It's worth it to me to drive a little further and go to a store that has given me good food and service on multiple occasions.

    Carolina Ale House Review - 3/5…read more It was our last day in town, and we wanted something quick while still getting a taste of some local favorites. Since Carolina Ale House was close to where we were staying, we decided to give it a try. The atmosphere definitely had that classic ale house vibe, with plenty of local beers on tap along with other familiar beer options. It felt like a nice casual spot to unwind and grab a bite. We all ordered something different, which was nice for variety. I had the hibachi shrimp, while the others had tacos with chips, and my son kept it simple with chicken tenders and fries. The food overall was okay, but my dish was a little disappointing. Everything on my plate--between the soup, pilaf rice, broccoli, and shrimp--seemed to carry almost the exact same flavor, so I didn't really get to enjoy the distinct hibachi taste I was expecting. One highlight for me was definitely the spicy margarita--the flavor was delicious. My husband also really enjoyed the "Ale Yeah" 16 oz. Bloody Mary along with one of the local North Carolina draft beers, which was a nice touch. Our server, Trevan, did a great job taking care of us. He was accommodating, attentive, and made sure we had what we needed throughout our visit, which we appreciated. Overall, I'd rate this place a 3/5. It was a decent stop for a casual meal and drinks, but the food could have had a bit more flavor separation and wow factor

The menus were pretty beaten up and faded. I wanted a unique drink, but I just didn't want alcohol; mocktails would have been a nice addition to the menu. Of course, we got chips and salsa, very enjoyable. Chips were thin, crispy, and hot. Salsa was flavorful, with just hint of spice. They have very small water glasses, I needed several refills. I did get a Mexican Coke, and the bartender cut a whole lime cut in wedges, which was very kind of him. We waited a little while for us to get our food which was an order of Baja fish tacos and an order of steak tacos. 3 tacos came with each order along with lime wedges, black beans and yellow rice. The fish tacos just needed a little something extra, all they had was cabbage and a little bit of sauce. They needed a side of guac or at the least, some pico. And I didn't love the batter on the fish, it was crispy, but heavy. I usually like a beer batter and this wasn't that, it reminded me more of a cornmeal batter. The carne asada tacos were far better. Onions, cilantro, and chili de arbol. Very good quality mat with a nice sear on the outside. I liked the bar atmosphere, it did remind me a little of Baja, with the stone carvings and dark atmosphere. Fair experience all things considered, but could've been a little better.
