    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

    I only had the fish and chips, which includes cole slaw, quite good. All other pics are my friends', which I did not taste. Spacious, varied seating with TVs, indoor & outdoor seating, large menu offerings, 1 big receipt gives itemized details & total per person, which came in handy. Easy, large parking.

    Chicken wings  10 Original Wings

    The chicken wings were under cooked. Service was great. The flavors were also good and the drinks nice and cold.

    Fish and Chips

    Was not our first choice to come here today, but we needed something casual and quick. We were here once, years ago, when they first opened, and it wasn't great. Figured let's give it another try, maybe it's better. Seated quickly as it wasn't busy. Table didn't feel clean, was very sticky all over. Sheet Pan Nachos were disappointing taste wise and sloppy presentation, but we ate all of them as we were very hungry. Everything we ordered was just average food. Not impressed at all. I wouldn't return or recommend. There's better options in the area. The big TV's are nice but not a reason I'd come here. Computer also went down right after we ordered our appetizer and there was a delay in getting our entrees. Only bright spot was the server who was very nice.

    It's exactly what you would expect a Sports Bar to be. Service was pretty good despite the crowd, and all the Food and Drinks we ordered tasted great. Nothing to complain about

    Big Pretzel
    Jane M.

    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.

    Buffalo chicken dip
    Karly K.

    A spirited sports bar with lots of space, televisions galore (even at individual tables), and a generous beer menu. Had the Buffalo chicken dip and mozzarella triangles for starters. The dip could have used more chicken throughout but overall very tasty, right amount of spice. The mozzarella generated a super stretchy pull, if you're into that sorta thing. Entree was beer battered cod street tacos--very good! Fish was so flavorful and juicy with a perfectly crisp and fluffy coating. 3 to an order with tons of chips and house-made salsa. Lastly, chocolate chip cookie pizza with ice cream and whipped cream. A must get! So gooey, with perfect amount of "cookie-ness" -- great to share. Service was very nice. Consider grabbing a bite here for your next hang out with friends!

    Arooga's is a very easy place to get to and located right off the highway 18 in East Brunswick. I attended a party here in the outdoor seating area and although this restaurant is located right off the highway you can't hear any road noise. Ordering the food took a bit of time, but i have to give credit because we had about 40 people in the party. I ordered a cheeseburger (red), the equivalent of rare, and it came out Hot and perfectly cooked. I substituted the tater tots instead of fries. I was not impressed with them, i felt like they were a bit cold on the inside and could have been cooked longer. The inside has lots of TV's and a big bar. There is plenty of seating inside as well. The place was clean, air conditioned and would definitely return again. I was able to get a 10% discount when i checked in, which was a nice surprise.

    Burger with blue cheese - pass, the sauce tastes weird. Like rubber
    Kristen H.

    Hi! This is a good spot for anyone looking for a semi-solid bite in the East Brunswick area. It's not luxurious, of course. But an adequate sports bar for sports fans, as they have a NUMBER of flat screened tvs on most of the walls. My friend brought up the fact that they should have more beer specials, as they have a myriad of beers on tap. The food, in my opinion, is decent. I've had the shrimp tacos numerous times. The flour tortilla is rather bland, but I do like pouring some of their in-house hot sauce on top and eating the shrimp with their mango salad slaw inside of the shell. (With maybe some tomatoes). The burger I ordered was OK, the blue cheese tasted a bit like rubber or something - so I would avoid that. But I appreciate the sweet potato fries with the marshmallowy dip they give on the side. I came to pick up a take-out order here over the summer. I waited for what seemed a very long time (I read a children's short story on my phone and witnessed multiple ppl pick up their orders before they gave me mine which was running late), however, the staff are always as cordial and attentive as possible. I came one afternoon and sat at their outside patio, had a wine and some guac, salsa and chips and did feel calmer with the sun and wind blowing on my face, even if most of it was from Route 18 LOL. Overall - possibly the food quality, specials and customer service can improve - but I still consider this place as a semi-solid option and appreciate very much what they do.

    Come here a lot for apps, drinks and sports! Nice variety of drinks, esp love their buckets. Friendly bartenders. Always order their apps (wings, nachos, mozzarella sticks, etc) because you can't go wrong. They need to add more variety on their dessert list though - pretty limited.

    Kinda Hot Medium
    Dan M.

    This was a modern sports bar with a number of large televisions showing various games. There were also several televisions located in individual booths for one to view a specific event. The menu had a number of interesting options including a lot of "impossible" dishes. The service was not the best. First, a person in my party asked if the salads had a different type of green because all of the salads had romaine lettuce, which was previously recalled. The confused waiter seemed to think their lettuce was okay. He just did not seem to know romaine was recently recalled and did not bother to ask the kitchen. He also forgot a sauce that somebody asked for. It was just not the best service overall. For appetizers, 2 plates of 20 original wings ($22.99 per 20) were ordered. The kinda hot medium and buffaque sauces were on the wings. The wings were on the smaller side, but good quality. Both sauces were appetizing. The kinda hot medium sauce was just that, a tad on the hot side. The buffaque had a great blend of buffalo and BBQ sauce present, very good. The peanut butter and jealousy burger ($11.99) with fries was ordered. It consisted of peanut butter, strawberry jam, and bacon on a brioche bun. It was ordered "pink" and that was how it came out. One of the complaints I had about this was the ratio of peanut butter and jam. There was too much jam present. The flavors actually went together well with one another including the bacon, but just too much jam. The fries were alright, a little under seasoned and not crunchy enough. Will I go back? Probably.

    Do they have high chairs and kids menu? Os it family friendly? Or is this more of a bar for adults only?

    I definitely see whole families there. Dont know about high chairs. Not sure if I would bring a little one here but it may work for you. My reason is I like to stay for the whole game example hoops football and little ones may get restless. Place… Read more

The nachos were a no from me. The cheese on the nachos was like stadium nachos - straight from the can. The wings were pretty good. Very crispy with a nice sauce. We ordered vodka pizza which was also pretty good. The fries that came with the sandwiches were similar to frozen crinkle cut fries. I expected better knowing that the place was pretty popular, and sports bars typically have really good food. Stick to pizza & wings when you visit. You can't go wrong there!

The…read morehappy hour is mostly focused on food discounts rather than drinks as it is only $3 beers. There isn't a cocktail menu, just basic vodka cranberry/rum & coke which I was a little dissapointed in. But hey, what can I expect from a local pub. With that being said, the happy hour food was totally worth it! I highly suggest the boom boom wings. They were packed with flavor, not to mention the wings are huge. I did feel like this place was understaffed though. We came on a Wednesday night around 6 PM and the place was getting busy with locals. It was only the bartender and one waiter out on the floor. Sometimes it was impossible to get their attention since they were so busy, plus the food took a bit of time to come out. My co-workers and I will most likely return since it was quite affordable and tasty.
