Please like my review if you find it helpful.

Nice little restaurant/bar in the small town of Troy. Not far from St Joe, Highland, Hiawatha, Atchison or surrounding areas. My name is Troy and I have driven past signs showing direction to Troy but never turned down. You do have to go on the VIA county road to get there... But just a short couple miles.

Well... I sure am glad I did.

I rolled in yesterday in my work van about noon. 1 car, a JEEP, in the lot. A lady on the covered patio greeted me with a smile and followed me in. I think I was the first straggler in for lunch. Pictures will show the place was empty, but that didn't last long. A few more guys came in for lunch while I was there even one for take out. I don't get uncomfortable in strange places but they obviously knew I wasn't from the area.

The place is nice... I almost missed it though... Had to turn around and go back to it. It's a Morton type building but done up nice inside. Clean and we'll set up for a small place.

The menu is very extensive... Good selection that should meet most people's likes. Matches their website well. I like how the website also shows the prices which I thought were pretty good.

Ok... Down to the food. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss burger. All burgers come with crinkle cut fries. You can option for other types of fries or tots or onion rings for an up charge. All but one burger are 1/2 pound or bigger.

Good God.... It was good. I would have liked a bit of sloppy sauce with the shrooms... But the burger was big... Juicy... Cooked just right at medium/well. The shrooms were meaty and flavorful and always love swish cheese. Bun was hearty but would have preferred toasted with butter.

What would I change? Well besides the toaster bun part... Really nothing... I couldn't even finish it all... Hell I finished the burger... but I had to force myself to stop eating the fries so I could because they give you like a pound of fries.

All in all... I'm glad I went to Troy and went to Rookies. One of the best all around small town places I've been to eat. Check out the photos that also include the Daily specials board.

Tap beer is limited to Busch and Miller... One of each. Bottles are most common beers... Didn't have my Boulevard Wheat that I love with a burger. Seemed to have a great selection of liquor behind the counter.

I look forward to returning and trying some different food... Maybe on a weekend to see how Troy Kansas kicks it on the fun nights.

Ordered half price appetizers. The fried pickles were pretty good. Mozzarella sticks we're kind of bland. Service was good.
