We stopped in for lunch on Labor Day weekend. We were a bit
late (close to 3:30) and seating was not available in the dining room since
they were changing over for dinner. No problem , we were able to sit at the
smoke free bar.
Theodore Roosevelt has always been one of my favorite
Presidents. The restaurant is filled with newspaper articles and items
related to Theodore that one would recognize as relating to his life such as
boxing gloves and hunting trophies.
We shared the spring mix salad. I ordered the chicken
sandwich which was a good portion of grilled chicken with cheese and bacon.
The fries were crispy and well flavored. I also ordered a cappuccino
which is served in a tall clear glass. For dessert I ordered
the chocolate mousse cake. That was delicious. Our son wanted his with
caramel topping and they were happy to oblige.
The restaurant itself is located in an alleyway off State
Street. You won't see it from State Street unless you look carefully. You
can come in from East Oakland Ave and find a small metered parking lot
there.
There are a lot of shops in the immediate area along with
the Mercer Museum. In addition, the restaurant also operates Blue 52 which
is a bar across the alleyway.

Roosevelt’s blue star is a very comfortable and casual find dining
experience with a hot spot at the copper and wood trimmed bar. The entire
bar and restaurant is non-smoking.
There is a patio outside with tables for you to take your drinks outside
and smoke. Inside is much Theodore Roosevelt's memorabilia with many
pictures of him. He was great hunter. On the walls there is a stuffed water
buffalo, cape buffalo, and a hog.
There is two dining rooms. I had the crab cake sandwich with fries and
slaw and spring mix salad which was all very fresh tasting and good. For
desert I had tiramisu. The menu changes frequently with half portions
available on Friday. Grab a date for Friday and go!
