Food tasted amazing. Was very happy with our meal and they have really good Gluten Free buns for burgers or sandwiches. Service was sub par. Afternoon was not busy and things were forgotten and taken to the table late. Server was nice but also seemed like she had better places to be and was more enthusiastic with a regular. I came here before for a to go order for the breakfast burritos and they were also fire. Maybe more of a to go place then a sit down.

We came here for “just one drink” while we waited for our table for brunch at a different place down the street. Our bartender Monica made us feel so welcomed and as visitors coming from Texas, she made us feel right at home. Even some of the regulars there made the atmosphere even more enjoyable! We eventually decided not to go to our original destination and stayed at Rookies and ordered some brunch! Which the food by the way, was amazing. They were the last spot we visited while in Seattle, and it was honestly a great send off! Thank you Monica!

One of the few late night dining options in Columbia City. Service was a bit slow due to only one person working but they were friendly and the drinks and food were all great. I would definitely return! Plenty of TV’s and seating for sports events.

I had lunch and a couple beers a couple days in a row midweek about 1pm. The place was pretty vacant at the time, lots of tables with different TVs to choose from. Both servers on each day were friendly and attentive. My beers came quite quickly! My bbq bacon burger was prepared perfectly medium rare and was delicious. The next day I asked for a crispy chicken caesar salad and the quality of the dish and dressing was fantastic. Portions for both entrees were generous! I’ll be back for more lunch as I work in the area! I’m glad I found this lunchtime gem.

Went during Mariners playoff game and the atmosphere was really great. There are so many tvs for all viewing angles! Food was delicious and affordable. Servers hustled for how busy it was and we always felt taken care of. Pretty good selection of NA beer and cocktails. I’ll definitely be back!

I’ve been waiting to try this place. For me this seemed to be more of a quiet lunch spot out of the way, off the beaten path. Lucky for me I was right. It has nice large windows to let tons of light, I’m sure it’s really nice on a sunny day. But the decor really got me. I’m a sports fan so to walk in and see the fencing like you would find on a practice field and the swag hanging off of it like when we would stick our jerseys in the fence really brought me back to my younger years. Then the collage of bats strewn together just like youngsters do not thinking of having to pick them up,but you always knew who’s bat was whose. It was really cool for me.
The food was well prepared, the usual stuff just done with care.
I didn’t get our servers name but both ladies working were really pleasant and the music was a nice change of pace, going back to the 80’s is fun sometimes.
Overall it was a great lunch and if given the chance I would encourage you to stop in, now I don’t drink but it looked like they had a full bar that would be great for a little libation.

Rookies is absolutely, hands-down one of my favorite restaurants is Seattle. I’ve been going here now for over 10 years, so this review is a long time coming. They have always been consistently delicious, friendly, and well-priced. And I love getting 10% off when I remember to wear my Rookies shirt! One of the best spots in Columbia City.

Also, outstanding customer service!!! Highly recommended!!! Love love love it !!!

Love going to Rookie’s! The breakfast dishes are all always tasty. The bloody Mary is wonderful as well and the staff is always very friendly.
I do like to sit at the bar, but the tables are rather awkward for a tight space. I just wish the bar area had a little more seating and a wider table. When it’s full in there, it’s very crowded!
