Came out for Trivia Night. Haven't been here in a long time because I never really loved the food. Turns out I still don't. I ordered street tacos with cod. The fish was barely seasoned at all. I asked for hot sauce, which they no longer leave out for customers. It took several minutes and my tacos were getting cold while I waited. That being said, the bartender was friendly and the beer was super cold. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a fine place if you want cold beer and maybe wings to watch the game, but don't come here expecting a great meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We hadn't been here in a while and decided on wings last Sunday. Very pleased with the new menu. So many things to pick from and the service which was bad in the past was awesome. We returned again this Sunday during the FIFA final games and it was really busy. Service was great and food came quickly and was again fabulous. Lindsay was a great waitress both times and was nice to see management helping out during the busy game crowd. This might be our new Sunday brunch spot. read more

I was visiting my BFF from LA and went to this place on a Saturday night a few weekends ago. I'm originally from MO, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]this place was total Midwest vibes in a good way - cheap and portions were big lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the speciality drink on the menu - a seltzer mixed with vodka. This $8 drink would have cost triple this price in LA lol. My bestie got a glass of wine. For 2 meals + an app + 2 drinks, I think the tab was around $60? So cheap! We got the fried pickles as an app and loved the sauce. I got the antipasto salad and it was a good portion with lots of toppings. I wish I remembered the waitress' name because the was really nice and cool! She wa read more

Alright food but they are too lazy to take 30 seconds and put the buffalo sauce on my wings. Instead I get this. read more

Came for trivia with the wife. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not very crowded...decent menu...a little overpriced IMO.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wife ordered a burger...I got fajitas...we share an app of potato skins. Skins: good; came quickly; served hot Burger: she enjoyed it...cooked properly Fajitas: when my wife's food came and the runner looked at me and said "didn't you order anything?" I knew I was in for it. A few minutes later, the waitress came by and told me that "the computer didn't save my order." She said she'd put it right in. It was about 15 minutes until I got my food and my wife was done eating already. However, the fajitas were very good. Nice sized portion. I got steak and chicken. She did a pretty good job keeping up with refills on my wife's soda and my coffee. Overall...OK. Nothing great. Other than the mishap with my order, they did an average job. Trivia was fun...we enjoyed the host from Cheaters Never Prosper. Will we be back? Probably won't make a point of it, but would come back specifically for trivia. read more

Ordered door dash. The crab pretzel has no crab which is misleading because it says crab in the description. Also my son's chicken fingers were black. read more

Thought the first time was a fluke, but our second try sealed the coffin. Both times we waited nearly an hour for non-existent food (not even the appetizer came out);because either the server failed to put in our order or there was a back up in the kitchen. Second try, we explained this to the manager and paid for our drinks. There will not be a third time. read more

Today was my first time going to Arooga's in a while, and I honestly forgot what it's like . I'm glad to say I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the pizza with fries and the fries were perfectly salted and the pizza had the perfect balance of sauce and cheese. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is football or something football related playing on every screen, so if you get bored while waiting you can watch that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The reason I gave it a 4 star review and not a 5 star is because every now and then a little droplet of water will fall from the ceiling which is understandably annoying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall a great restaurant and I will be coming again. read more

Arooga's - I was also pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by this Fancy Tomato Ketchup - American Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

We popped in here at 9:30 pm because literally everything else around us was closed. They are understaffed, so you seat yourself at the bar or surrounding tables. Gage (the bartender) came and took our drink and dinner orders as soon as we sat down. We started off with the seafood nachos, which had really delicious, hot, fresh tasting shrimp on top. We devoured those before I could even get a picture. The old bay mixed with the cheese was just *chef's kiss*. For our entrees we decided to try the donut burger, because we've never been anywhere that has offered that before, as well as 10 original wings in the buffaque (BBQ mixed with Buffalo) sauce. I have only had bad experiences with wings so far in PA, but these were good. They weren't huge, but they were crispy, well sauced (the sauce had a really nice kick to it), and were hot. The donut burger was interesting because you got the sweet sugar from the donut first and then the bacon and cheese and burger after. We'd order that again as well. The ambiance is nice, there's lots of TVs showing any game imaginable. Make friends with the bartenders- they're really nice and can order suggestions. We will definitely be back. read more

Came here for a large group. Ordered around 7:15, food came out at 8:19, so definitely consider that for a group of 15. When the food did come out, other servers did help to distribute. Service was very slow, the waitress was more interested in getting drinks in. Otherwise, the food was decent. I enjoyed my Arooga burger, my husband enjoyed his Gouda burger, my kid enjoyed her Mac n cheese, the quesadilla was a miss. Won't really be back here unless it was to watch a game and not focus on dining in. read more

We have been coming here a bit more often because Teds closed on second and we like the wings. Also the nachos. The bartenders are nice. There are plenty of TVs. I like aroogas award program. And I love the chocolate chip cookie dessert. Sometimes the wings are pretty small. But that seems to happen more often now at multiple places. read more

Great food! I hat the Nashville hot chicken sandwich with house potato chips. Both were amazing. My husband had the ribs and wings with BBQchip dry rub. He loved them. Our waitress Morgan was awesome! Thank you for the great service and food! read more

I'm only reviewing the food, as we had it delivered and dropped off at the doorstep by GrubHub. Everything we ordered was delicious! My kids and I sampled each other's food and were pleasantly surprised at how our suggestions and options were met. Wasn't too sure on portion sizes but they were decent and decently priced. We actually had a lot leftover which is awesome. Will be eating here again! read more

This is the first time that I ever had wings made with white meat! Now, I know what you're saying, "Wings Can't be made with white meat." But I say, "They have to be made with white meat. How else would they be dry AF?!" Seriously, I have had better wings from Giant;s cold take out. Every time I think that this place can't get any worse, they always prove me wrong. At least they always make the drinks strong... Even though the bartender wasn't very courteous. lol read more

This place is great. Hot wings, done right. Tater tots, super good. Beers, big. Delivery, fast. Service while dining in, friendly. Quality, consistent. Simple fare, good prices. This is not Buffalo Wild Wings and that's a plus. Idk why it's rated at 2.5 stars, but I understand locals like it. We just moved here and we like it. Try it, you might like it too read more

Excellent food, [[HIGHLIGHT]]fun atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of huge screens and all kinds of sports available to watch[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Highly recommend! read more

On 10/18/24 erin....the manager in charge was very very unprofessional....was trying to help her.....and to add to the poor management already at store which asked me not to put bad reviews cause they get in trbl.....but some things need addressed at this store !!! read more

We were there this evening. The service was horrific, with plenty of employees standing around Hi-Fivieng eachother. It took 15 minutes to place a drink order, restaurant was not crowded. Ordered an appetizer, which came out and was finished, wait 10 minutes to order the food. It took another 20 minutes when we were done to get the check. The only thing that was positive were the side salads. People go out to not cook and have a good experience! I feel like someone stole my money today. I can confirm that we will never head to an Aroogas, or Grateful Goat again. Its a shame from what it was to the franchise, sh!t service experience now. read more

It was good as far as wearing mask, cleaning, and other covid things including in the bathroom with a foot opener. The food was good the fries for my fiance when I tried were really salty. There was not too many people. The waiter but wanted to talk to his friends if there was nothing else I do understand. So that is why I gave a four and not a five. We have been there before and it was busy and before covid I like it and I would go back. read more

Went in here around 8:45 and no one was at the front to greet or seat me. I waited around for about 5-8 minutes and finally left when still no one came up front. Aroogas used to be such an amazing place but has gone downhill badly. read more

For dinner my sister in-law and my nephew came to aroogas to celebrate my nephew getting his drivers permit. I ordered the Turkey bacon ranch wrap with onion rings. For appetizers we got the sweet potato fries over all the food was ok for bar food. read more

Arooga's - Turkey, Bacon Ranch Wrap - American Near Me - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania

I tried to give this place a second chance. Unfortunately they failed again. Our order at the table was very simple. The place was empty. On a Saturday night. I ordered. 5 wings with a dry rub. With celery and blue cheese. I told the waitress no carrots. 25 minutes later I got warm non crispy wing that were more on the dry side. Plus they had the wrong dry rub seasoning on them. It came with 3 pieces of celery and 3 carrots. The other order at the table was a plane cheese burger w / fries old bay on them. The order came out with veggies on it and no old bay on the fries . Both the burger and fries were cooked to order. I did bring this to there attention. ( wing order only) they offered to take it off my bill. Or make me a fresh order etc. I did decline. I was so upset that it would not have mattered. You pay a premium price here. I expected better presentation . Our server was very professional and addressed our situation beyond my satisfaction. I really hate to be hard on a local chain. But they can do better than this. read more

We ordered the Buffalo Chicken dip and mushroom Swiss burger, quesadilla. it was all awesome. one of the best burger I had in the area and done to perfection. The server was great too. We will be back read more

Haven't been here in awhile. Was always a go to place for food. Not sure if an off night, but on a Friday 6 PM it was entire than I had ever seen. Wings were great as in the past, but service really needed to improve. May have been just our table as it seemed others were getting decent service. Extremely long wait to place food order, items came out wrong, and no follow up to see if we needed more drinks. Then, it took forever again to get check. read more

Food here is always up to snuff. Arooga's is usually a bit pricier than I remember, but it's always been worth it when I go here. Servers are attentive, when they aren't super busy. Never had an issue with the food or the service. Only knocking points for the ambience. It's a bit dark at this location, some of the TVs are warped, discolored, etc. Then again, if you're going to a sports bar, that's probably not uncommon. Still certainly worth the time and money. read more

Menu looked fantastic. Full of unique items that promised robust flavors. Sadly, they didn't live up to the hype. We ordered the the Pepperjack cheese squares, Buffalo pretzel, and a cheesesteak boil. The Pepperjack bites were the best item, but still lacked any real spice or bite you'd expect, more akin to normal cheese sticks. The Buffalo pretzel wasn't well done. Soft, sweet, and doughy, nothing like a pretzel. Topped with Buffalo dip that barley had any flavor. The cheese on top was the only real flavor; there was nothing savory about this dish at all. The cheesecake boli had decent flavor but was doughy and didn't have a good meat to bread ratio. The marinara was watered down and flavorless, and the ranch they charge extra for tasted no better than buttermilk Hidden Valley ranch. The prices are high for such lackluster food. I will say this the employees were nice, and service was prompt during pickup. read more

This place is still bad! Decided to give Arooga's a try after a few years of not going because of service & food quality! Still Terrible Service! Old TV's Terrible Picture Quality! There wings a piddly & over priced for the size you get! read more

First off I have never eaten a thing from any aroogas, however a friend of mine has been mentioning this "crab pretzle" for a while now and telling me how good it is, I blew it off for a while until tonight. "What is a crab pretzle?" You may ask, is it a crab filled pretzle, a pretzle in the shape of a crab? Neither it's much better, it's a large pretzle topped with crab, cheese and old bay seasoning. If you are a fan of old bay then you'll surely love this pretzle, I'm not a fan of old bay seasoning and I still loved it! The staff were very nice, you pickup your order (to go) at the bar area. I would highly recommend trying this pretzel amazing! read more

Great wings Service usually pretty good. Other good is good too. Decor is basic but pleasant. Parking lot and access is a little tough. read more

Got the regular wing. Wife had cheese steak. I got the wings Aroogas way over tater tots. The menu states that there should have been extra sauce in the wings. The sauce was nonexistent I the wings when they came out. I was going to ask for more sauce but I just wanted to go home. They may have tried to charge me extra anyway.wings were dry. Very dissatisfied. It feels like everytime we go to Aroogas i have to beg to get anything. Silverware, extra napkins,extra sauce that should have come with my meal anyway. I'm done with this place.. waitress couldn't speak very loud and was not checking on us. Everything is an upcharge. WHY?? Good bye Aroogas. You won't get another penny if my money. read more

Love the variety of vegetarian options they offer - the impossible nachos are amazing. My fiancée loves the hot wings. Delivery was really fast. read more

Sorely disappointed in this place. I used to love their food and how easy it was to order with them. Tonight, we ordered takeout. The online ordering system was down, so I tried to call. After 3 tries, the phone rang 20 times each call, but no one picked up, so we drove in. We had the order printed out on paper and handed it to the bartender. What we got back wasn't exactly what we ordered. We ordered wings -- and paid extra to have all flats -- but 7 of the 10 wings were legs. Also, we didn't get the celery and carrots, despite putting that on the order. We asked why no one answered the phone or why we couldn't order online. One waitress said she didn't know, but commented that they were "understaffed." (Why would you share that information with the public?) Very unhappy with this place - not worth the visit. read more

I have eaten at many Arooga locations and I have eaten at this one several times. I like the wide variety of food options. I have found some wing sauces I like. My complaint has nothing to do with the food and service. Both of which are always adequate. My problem with this location is the mildew smell all over the TV dining room. The smell is horrible near the windows. You can even smell it on the other side of the room. They must have had some type of water leak. I cannot eat there again. The first time we ate there and smelled the mildew, we thought it might just be a problem with the table near the window. We sucked it up and gagged through the smell. The second time we were seated in the same vicinity. We asked to be moved due to the smell. They moved us to the center of the dining area. It was better, but we could still smell it. The last time we were again seated next to the window. The smell was overwhelming. We again asked to be moved and they moved us over to the other side. Again, the smell was better but it still ruined the meal. I'm not sure how people stand to eat there with the musty, mildewy smell infiltrating their noses with every bite. Perhaps the clientele live in old houses with wet basements and are used to the smell. As for me, I am going to only eat at other Arooga's from now on. I can't give up their chips with the blue cheese or some of their wing sauces. read more

New location on the Carlisle pike, opened Sunday afternoon. If you've been to any of the other locations around the area, then you know what to expect here. Lots of TV's lots of sporting events on display, lots of brews on their way past your view. Service was pretty quick for our food which was on par with the other Arooga's, not fantastic, not horrible, but something decent to eat while watching football. This location does have Buzztime trivia as well, but finding a television with it on during a game night would probably be murder. Server seemed properly trained and knew what the specials were for their opening. I wish there could be more to add, however since it's a chain, and all alike, nothing really stands out. So like in my previous review, come here for a game and a drink, not quiet intelligent conversation. read more
