My waitress was GREAT!!! However the food was okay not delicious (I won’t go back) they have a lot of Gluten free items on the menu but when you order it’s not ready Gluten Free or celiac safe. For example “seafood nachos” has artificial crab meat 🙄 which isn’t safe for celiac. The Buffalo chicken nachos were not good at all. The restaurant has potential but the food isn’t good I will share the menu and the nasty buffalo nachos. Off they have a bar and the drink are sweet not strong 🤦🏻‍♀

I called to see what the gluten free options were, the person on the phone sounded confused. I didn’t end up eating there because they didn’t sound confident about what could safely be made gluten free.

I'm not sure how this place had so many good reviews. We asked two different servers and neither were knowledgeable about GF. When asked about the potato chips, he said, "well, potatoes are gluten free.". I would definitely say NOT celiac friendly.

Had the truffle tots and the impossible burger on a gluten free bun! So good!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We were driving down the turnpike and found this on the Find me GF map. We decided to try it based on the GF reviews and the kid friendliness. It was delicious, easy to get to from the highway, fast and no reaction! We will probably stay here again on our way to or from the NJ shore.

My celiac son likes the naked wings and tater tots (dedicates fryer or oven for those, but fries are made in gluten fryer). Salads are also an option here. Menu is clearly marked, but you do need to ask more detailed questions bc some of those options become off-limits for celiac/anaphylaxis peeps.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great! Clean and lots of GF options! Good options for kids as well.

The staff was very nice. The food was okay. The place is great because the music there isn't too loud, nor the televisions.

Great service, good food. Lots of gluten free options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not safe. I ordered gf boneless wings. Was given fried wings and when I went to explain I ordered gf wings, the host looked at them and asked, they are not gluten free ?

I eat here very often, and have never had an issue. Staff is knowledgeable and will adjust many menu options to be gluten free. Dedicated there is a gf fryer, and gf buns.

This location is no longer Arooga's. It's a place called Greatful Goat Brewery. They didn't have anything on the menu marked gf, but were willing to accommodate which was very nice. Options are very limited bc the majority of the items are pizza, pasta, fried, etc. Also, they don't seem to deal with many gf customers so I was very nervous about the risk of of cross contamination. I order the roasted turkey caprese with no bun. I'm sorry to say but the turkey was dry and bland, the homemade mozzarella was just basic shredded cheese, and the arugula was yellow and wilted. I don't think this is the place for that type of food if you're looking for a beer, burger, and a pizza (and aren't celiac), this is your place. My family's food looked great.

They were very cautious. I had ordered a salad with blue cheese and they could not verify the blue cheese was gluten free so they left if off and explained.
