Atmosphere was kinda like an updated sports bar with new pool tables in the back and plenty of large screen TV's to watch sports on. Our server was friendly and prompt. My brother ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with pickle fries and I ordered the small Greek pizza. We waited for about 15 min before our order arrived. The "small" pizza wasn't so small. It could have easily feed 3+ people. It tasted awesome. Crust was perfect. I had to get a to-go box. No way could I eat that whole pizza. My brother's meal looked amazing. He said it was even better than Papa's Greek chicken sandwich. Had a great time and really enjoyed the food.

We sat down in the back of the first room by the four pool tables (yup, they have at least four pool tables) and someone almost immediately came to give us our menus. That's one thing that stood out to me here -- we were absolutely taken care of. Any time someone walked by they asked us if we wanted anything. That's service!! They also didn't rush us AT ALL. We asked for boxes and I assumed they'd give us the check to get us out. Nope! We could have sat there for another two hours and just chilled out. Our original waitress hung out with us and talked about the menu (but wasn't overbearing) and was very friendly. She even suggested other places to go in town after we were done, but mentioned Rookies was the place to be at night. Noted!!!! We ended up getting 4 beers total (a shandy and a local hazy ipa x2), 2 starters (pickle chips and cheese balls - which are actually cheese curds), and two burgers (the green been machine and the southwestern burger) and it came to $66. That's a deal, baby! Food was great too, classic fried bar food, but they weren't afraid to take risks with the green been burger (which has fried green beans on it). I'd totally recommend Rookies for anyone looking for a spot to eat in Clear Lake.

Hungry in the Hawkeye State [St Ansgar IA]…read more After taking the self-guided tour at the SPAM Museum in Austin MN we decided to skip having lunch around the area and drove over the state line to Iowa and had lunch at this unassuming place called City Limits Bar & Grill. It was 21 miles from the Spam Museum to the restaurant. We arrived around 2:45p and the restaurant was surprisingly busy, the crowd was loud, various sports were showing on the flatscreens, everyone just having a great time. The waitress was busy but she single-handedly handled the crowd and the bar pretty well. On the way here we passed by seemingly countless rows of corn and wheat. When the waitress came to our table to get our orders we asked her what is a popular food Iowans like to eat. She pointed on the menu at the Old Fashioned Fritter sandwich. It is a center-cut pork loin, pounded and either grilled or dipped in their signature batter then fried. I ordered a 16-oz Bone-in French cut Ribeye. She said there are more cattle than people and the most pork LoL! They are also known for their steak. She wasn't lying... both the Iowa-style breaded pork fritter sandwich and the steak were delicious. It was just funny seeing the humungous pork tenderloin in between the bread and made the buns look tiny. The beef is so tender, juicy and flavorful. Looks like a popular place with the locals and visitors too with its warm, inviting ambiance and friendly staff. Review #3844

Be prepared to show a little grace, there were a lot of cars turning in there as we came up to it- from the food, I'm guessing they're always busy! My wife chose their mainline burger (no cheese) and house fries. Honestly, I think we could tell how good it was going to be when got out of the car and that awesome charbroil smell overwhelmed us. She loved it. I had the Chipotle Bacon cheeseburger on Texas toast, well done for me (they will prepare to your liking), which is charbroiled, then dunked in their home made bourbon sauce and served with Swiss cheese and jalapeños. The fries have some type of coating that makes them a little crispier and a little tastier. Even if you're cruising up I35, it's worth the detour into WC for a great meal. Plenty of tv's but even with a crowd, you can still have enjoyable conversation at your table. It's no wonder one whole wall is covered with "best of" awards. They deserve them. Bon Appetite!

Besides aesthetic perfection, our bartender was really nice and he was very knowledgeable about every single bottle on the shelf and he very kindly answer all one hundred of my questions to help me pick a drink. I ended up picking the white linen cocktail that had cucumber in it and it was amazing. Next I tried one of their home made seltzers, and it tasted like a chocolate covered cherry, but in a seltzer, which was a very unique flavor that was pretty good. I would definitely recommend coming to here for a high quality cocktail spot. I also learned that they have seasonal menus so I will definitely make a flight back to Mason city to try their Christmas menu items!
