Good food, and extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend stopping in. Seafood nachos were great.

Specified to the waitress I was ordering GF, I ordered GF options from the menu, Potato soup & guiltless wings and I now feel like I’ve been hit buy a truck. I feel terrible, so they cross contaminated my food somehow. Too expensive to feel this bad.

Food was delicious and manager assured that delicates fryers were used and cooks change gloves, etc. But runners bring out food instead of waitress, and he had no idea which wings were gluten-free. Had to send them back just to make sure. And still, when they were served there was no identifying mark to make me feel confident that they were indeed gluten-free. Told manager but he didn’t take my suggestions of using different colored plate or some type of marker. He said runner should just know. Well these are high school kids....and no they don’t know.

Lots of GF options clearly marked on the menu but server was not at all knowledgeable about GF and couldn’t answer questions. Service was insanely slow - took longer than 90 minutes to get in and out. Unfortunate, but won’t be back.

The food was impressively bland, service was slow, and we got food poisoning from this location. Perhaps they're good with gluten free, but that's about where it ends!

My daughter and I were just diagnosed gluten sensitive (non-celiac) and this was our first visit to a restaurant since starting our GF diet two weeks ago.

Their kitchen is certified GF and they have a dedicated GF fryer as well.

I had the Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich on the GF roll (without the coleslaw) and the tater tots. It was amazing! Great to know I have a place to go out to dinner with friends.

The waiter was very knowledgeable about the GF foods and prep and was very friendly.

There are a number of GF options clearly marked on the menu including some fried items that are done in a dedicated fryer when you specify your allergy. Staff seemed very well educated and food was good.

Food is great.

Make sure you tell them it is an allergy so they use the dedicated fryers, ask a manager if your server seems hesitant.

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.
