This place is known for their rolls and I had the Sicilian roll. Kind of like a Stromboli but in sliced pieces. So much flavor, it was very good. Nice folks behind the bar roo.

I have been in NC for a month and been here twice. The 1st time was ladies at the bar and they were amazing and so was the food. I went again last night 1 bartender and a bar back. They were on it. The bartender was by himself and even couldn't come right over acknowledged me every time. The guy running food was just as amazing. Will be back....

Service was somewhat slow considering they weren’t overly busy and food was decent. Their beer on tap selection is pretty limited.
We were sitting close to the door going out to the patio and the cigar smoke from the people outside smoking would come inside every time they opened the door which was very nasty and annoying.
Right before we left, two young boys came in and were trying to sell boxes of donuts to people in the restaurant. Not sure why they would allow their customers to be solicited like that from kids that seemed to walk in from nowhere.

The resting for service is only because we went during the Carolina Duke game and it was a disaster. Not enough servers, our food order got lost though put waitress was a gem and comped a round of drinks, but it took forever to close out our ticket as well.
Atmosphere is only because people were vaping inside and the owner didn't stop them.
I love Rookies, we go at least once a month, normally they are spot on with everything, but if you plan to go to them as a venue to watch a big event, I'd not recommend it.

I love Rookies Pizza. It is a thinnish crust with very good texture and flavor. Plenty of toppings too. Their service when I have gone has been excellent. It is a pizza buffet with free salads plus a normal Pizza place menu of items.
The only thing to be aware of is they don't put the buffet pizza out until patrons start asking. Then within 10 minutes or so there will be plenty out. They will also make whatever pizza you want to put out on the buffet.

I just went to Rookies and ordered a “double Play” burger. Thank God I didn’t eat today because it was huge with 2 - quarter pound burgers and was GOOD, With a drink totaling $30 but it was worth it. If you can handle it, try it. I pass it a lot and never knew it was this good.
Check it out. I had to give them their props.

I was in town for the weekend and needed a place to watch The Ravens play. Customer service was impeccable food was delicious and drinks were great. I was there all day and enjoyed the crowd and was there for multiple shifts and Everyone was awesome. When I visit Durham again this will always be my first stop.

I work close by so possibly convenience. Plays a time but better options are available.. Especially if you are incredibly service oriented.
The chef possibly was the one who cleared our table. We seated ourselves after waiting a while for someone at the door.
When served the servers were nice, food is good.. As good as bar food can be. Drinks are not watered down like most places in the triangle area .
Overall I would say go once and decide if it's for you..I still go there once in a blue moon and have never left thinking this is the last time!

The food was really good, basic bar fare but a good variety. Very polite and attentive staff, and TVs you can see from every seat. Will definitely return.

Would have been better atmosphere if it wasn't for a drunk female and male. Very loud and obnoxious. It was early afternoon so maybe 15 people in there and service was slow. The waiter was great though.

Prices are very good here. I got the wings and they’re huge. There’s so much meat on them and I’m surprised they weren’t advertised as jumbo wings. The sweet potato fries were a nice surprise. I didn’t know it would be waffle pattern but they also add a dusting of sugar on top. They are very very good.
