Super awesome sports bar atmosphere with plenty of GF options! Fries are not cooked in a dedicated fryer, but they have tater tots instead. They also offer gluten free wings as well as beer! Tasty buffalo chicken dip!

Burger was great! Staff was ok. Boneless wings were just grilled chicken. But drinks were good too! Definitely going back!

Place was awesome! Knowledgeable staff. I asked a lot of questions and waitress knew everything that was gluten free. Dedicated fryers for chips and tots. A lot of options to choose from, everything is marked if it is GF. Gluten free buns for burgers and sandwiches. Will definitely be back!!!

First time was a disaster - waiter mixed up plates with another patron and gave gluten burgers to my son. When we questioned because the bun clearly looked like a gluten one, he assured us it was correct. I didn’t agree and asked for the manager to confirm as well. That’s when they discovered mistake. After talking to manager, I was comfortable that everything had been cooked safely and separately. We had them remake just in case. No one got sick. I went back again and had no problems. Food is ok - typical American fare, good for picky kids.

*Went again, twice. Fantastic!

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.
