Buffalo boli and chopped salad are both delicious, but the menu is full of delicious options to try. Service is always fast and ambiance is great to watch for a night with friends or watching a sports game!

I had the cheese steak. It was offered with cheese whiz or cheese cream. I asked for provolone cheese. Messy ad they don't use a true intalian roll so it falls apart. But still good. My lady had fish and chips which she loved Staff is friendly and they don't forget you

Like any good sport's bar Arooga's is not lacking for TV screens. Worried you might miss a big play during a bathroom break? Not to fear, the urinals come equipped with screens. The restaurant is not lacking for seating either. They have a big bar, a spacious outdoor patio, and plenty of seating in the dining room. I went with a group of 5 guys to watch the UFC PPV and we were easily accommodated. As for the food, it was a mixed bag. We ordered 20 wings, which were quite good. The chicken was tender and fresh, with plenty of sauce. The buffalo chicken dip had a custom flare that made for a tasty scoop with each chip. The nashville chicken sandwich, however, was underwhelming. The sauce was too heavily seasoned with chili powder and that's about all you could taste. Also, my sweet potatoes fries were soggy (to be fair, they're harder to get right than a classic fry). I think next time I'll stick to apps and drinks, but that works for a spots bar like Aroogas.

I'm honestly shocked by all these negative reviews. However I haven't tried a wide variety of food here, all I can say is they have the best wings around!! My new go to place for bone-in, all flat wings

They have a newer menu. Went there a few weeks ago. Food was really good. Good value for the money. Very good beer selection. Plus, you could watch pretty much any live sports you want.

Arooga's is one of my favorite restaurants. If this one was closer to me I'd go all the time. It's very vegetarian friendly with multiple options including being the only place I know of that has vegan wings which I love. I wish they still had the Nashville faux hot chicken sandwich because that was my favorite, they still have the regular one for non-veg people. My favorite app is the BIG pretzel it's great to share. This location has big booths, as well as bar stool tables. I love their environmental efforts like the ethically sourced tables. Each time we've come the staff has been friendly, quick and very helpful with the menu.

Sat at the bar last night for a quick bite to eat and drink. It was fairly crowded at the bar area so we had to sit at the extended part of the bar. It was hard to get the server to come around to us as she was mostly in the main bar area the whole time. Got some tots and mozzarella sticks to eat and they were both nice and crispy. Definitely hit the spot while drinking a few beers. There are tvs everywhere even little personal tvs at the tables you sit at. On thanksgiving eve, they do beat the clock every year so just happen to be there for it. Later in the night it got very crowded and a DJ showed up. Random but they also have poker games on Saturdays here as well.
