Rootie's Sports Grille - Louisville

I had purchased a deal on the WDRB morning show last year for this restaurant that I had never been to before. My husband and I went for lunch on a Thursday around 12:30 and there were only 2 other people in the restaurant. My husband ordered the Reuben sandwich and I got the chicken tender basket. I received 4 huge tenders and took 2 of them home. We also ordered onion rings, which were good but we felt there weren't enough for the extra $2.25 we paid for them. My husband enjoyed his Reuben sandwich. The service was for dine-in.

I went to a sports bar to watch the first 15 picks of the NFL draft, but they were hosting a loud trivia night on the same night. The noise made it impossible to hear the TV in our own booth. The food was decent, but the lack of focus on sports in a sports bar was disappointing. The atmosphere was terrible for a sports bar. I will not be returning. The service for dining in was not great. Please consider finding a new trivia night host.

First of all we walk in it smells like feces me and my girlfriend decided to sit down and just try it out due to it being our FIRST time coming to this establishment the service was horrible they told us to pick our own table we sat there and waited for a server but nobody ever came nobody asked us for drinks and nobody asked us if we needed a menu so we sat there for about 45 minutes the establishment was not even busy we sat there and watched Waitresses check on other people that just came in but yet they would look at us and just pass us by and the waitresses were eating food behind the bar I would never recommend this place to my family or ANYONE it was a horrible experience.

To begin with the menu on the website is outdated. Everything has at least increased in price by a dollar and I know things are getting more expensive but you need to update your website. Secondly , my usual dislike of Pepsi, which is minor but that's OK that's what they have. Another problem is they have the sub par house recipe ketchup iif you're decent restaurant serving at least mid price meals get some Hines or Hunts. On the positive side they do have a Xooker it's a 30 for 50. The waitress was very nice and tried her best and even gave us a little bag to take our leftovers home. However, she was fairly new and told me that my curly fries would only be one dollar up charge but they were 229. also for her burger it came with Swiss cheese but she wanted American and it should've just been a substitution but she was charged .75 to add American. Next they have a credit card fee if you use credit, which is ridiculous at a place it's a bar like that where people run tabs. Thanks to the Xooker that I didn't have to pay the fee. now the food itself she got a burger that was supposed to come with grilled onions and mushrooms. For some reason. it had bacon on it , which she pulled off and ate but we didn't ask for bacon. Also the mushrooms and onions, you couldn't find the onions and mushrooms were really small and puny. she had substituted onion rings for fries, but they brought her out the fries. We had to ask for the onion rings. the burger itself she said wasn't the best. I got two meals. The first was fish and chips. The fish was way over cooked dry and chewy. Plus it was like double battered. It would've been good fish Had it not had these problems. The other thing I tried, was the French dip. The bun was toasted nicely, but the bread was of low quality and had no flavor. The meat was somewhat processed and I hit some chewy gristle, and it just wasn't near as good as a similar sandwich at McAllister's for the same price. The onion rings were decent but about a third of them were burnt. It was karaoke night and it was not the places fault but the singers were terrible. So overall I think I will try somewhere else next time.

The food is great sports bar food, wings are the best! Servers are all very pleasant and great place for a happy hour or dinner on a weeknight!
