Loved their grilled chicken, always something going on like trivia Thursdays and bingo Wednesdays. Friendly place.

If you’ve eaten at Rooney’s Bar & Grill recently and found yourself savoring every bite, chances are you have Talen Patterson to thank for that. As one of the standout cooks in the kitchen, Talen brings more than just skill to the table—he brings passion, creativity, and a commitment to quality that’s hard to miss.
Talen’s dishes consistently strike the perfect balance between comfort and innovation. Whether it’s a perfectly seared steak, a richly flavored burger, or a daily special with a creative twist, his food reflects both technical precision and an intuitive understanding of flavor. You can tell he takes pride in his work, and it shows in the consistency and presentation of every plate that leaves his station.
Beyond his culinary talents, Talen is known among regulars and staff for his professionalism and team spirit. He works hard, keeps calm under pressure, and always seems to have time for a quick smile or helpful word to a colleague. In an industry where pace and pressure can get intense, that kind of positive energy makes a big difference.
Rooney’s Bar & Grill is lucky to have Talen Patterson behind the scenes. If you’re stopping by for a bite, know that you’re in good hands—and don’t be surprised if you find yourself coming back for more. if you made it this far they had no food when i went chalk talen

Stopped by here on a day drinking birthday run and the atmosphere was so off, people staring bartender was rude. Asked for a tequila sunrise, which was just orange juice and sadness. Kept getting stared at like someone was looking for a fight won’t be back place they can keep degenerate regulars. Guess our presence messed up their football watching. Yuck

Excellent service. Stopped here back in May of ’25 and had great service as well. The chicken sandwich was very good. Most recently had their hand-dipped chicken fingers, and cheese curds, and my friend had a Rooney burger with grilled onions. All were very good! Plenty of parking for a bike stop. Cute clean bar/restaurant clean bathrooms, nice patio. Check them out!

These Bella fries were $9. They’re huge slices and only give you 5. They’re advertised as thinly sliced in their menu. I’ve ordered these at least 3x and the slices just keep getting bigger and less put in there. It’s lazy honestly.

They’re really good but kind of a rip off. Same with their other food items. Bar food served at restaurant prices and food is not 5 stars. This is probably the best item on the menu. Just sucks.

Also if you want to drink here on the weekend, don’t do it unless you’re a local. They don’t make you feel welcome. But if you’re from the area, it gets packed with locals.

Bartenders are awesome.

Were there for lunch, so it wasn’t busy. Several groups were there and it wasn’t loud. Food was good and reasonably priced and service was good.

Nice place in a small town. We stopped in for lunch with a largish (12) group, and the waitress has no issue seating us, and the service didn’t feel delayed or slow because of it.

Very reasonably priced menu, small, but all bar classics, like burgers, wings, fried appetizers, and chicken sandwiches. They even had Yuengling on tap!

Clean, one-person bathrooms.

We will back in nicer weather to try the patio out back.
