★★★★★ 5.0 Dan Thompson · Jan 2026

The staple of the Henderson dining and bar scene. Food and atmosphere are amazing, and a great place to watch a ball game. Jaclyn, Kelly and Tyler are all great bartenders and you can't go wrong with Rooks! Recommend

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Josh B · May 2021

I gave this place three stars because my wife and kid both love it, I just do not understand. Like the food is mediocre at best, there’s not a whole Lotta seasoning. But that’s fine they do add salt and pepper to the table I guess if that’s what your idea of the only seasoning is. It’s lackluster I guess that’s one way that I would put it. But it seems to be a local favorite for everybody, so if you want to try some thing from around here go for it, just bring some garlic with you or something else maybe. This is about the third time I’ve been here, ordered something different every time. And it always turns out the same.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Scott Carter · Jan 2023

I'm not big on sports bars in general, the atmosphere is always lacking, but the food at Rookies makes it worth the trip! Everything we ate was top-notch, and the service was great. The prices were inline too for the quality. I can't recommend the seared blackend prime rib enough if you are a carnivore, and my wife said the salmon was some of the best she's ate!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Traveling Crabapple · Oct 2023

Stopped in for dinner. I had the seafood tortellini .My husband had the Cajun catfish. The tortellini could have used some parmesean cheese on top.......but it was good. The bread is very good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Gabriel Blake · Feb 2026

Chill vibe, helpful staff, and good food. Def try the specialty butters. Has a rustic feel.
