Way overpriced and Overrated. Food quality eh. Nothing exciting. Lots of different flavor but burger was blah. Ribs were fatty. Both kids have celiac and had Gluten free burgers which were way overpriced with rolls being more doughy than burgers. Menu Had limited GF options. Servers wasnt pleasant. Maybe she had bad day? Wouldn’t return.

2 celiacs in my party and neither had an issue. The manager was responsible for bringing out our meal. I thought our server was well informed and understanding of all the questions we had. I got the tater tots and they were great; bigger than normal and super crunchy. I would eat here again.

I went recently because of good reviews and a lot of choices for GF. I ordered the GF wings and tater tots. The waitress served my husband his full of gluten meal and then put her hands on my plate. My husband noticed. She said she made sure she didn't. I made it home and spent the next 12 hrs in my bathroom. Still felt wiped the next day. I don't know where the cross contamination happened.

Very good, they have a dedicated fryer for some things so you can get gluten free tots! Also one of the few places where you can get gluten free wings.

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.
