Driving by, this place looks like something you might find on Bourbon St. But beyond the sports bar/club atmosphere there is REAL FOOD, SERVED LATE. Gluten Free food is clearly marked in the regular menu, and there are a good number of options, most notably GF Chicken Wings (and Tater Tots)! Staff was nice and accomodating, and the Mrs loved the food.

I ordered the tater tots and GF burger. My plate came out with a piece of pasta on it. I sent it back and got a new one but did not feel comfortable eating it. Very disappointed.

Great place, lots of GF choices and the food is delicious. My son who has celiac was super excited because he actually had choices on what to eat. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly, I highly recommend Aroogas!!

Great place! Food was delicious and fresh. Many gluten free options clearly marked on the extensive menu. They have organic healthy options and normal bar food, which means a group could go and you wouldn't stand out at the health nut in the group. Highly recommend!

Gluten Cree certified- dedicated fryer/oven space. Decent food. Menu is clearly marked. They have many sandwiches that you can get a gluten free bun. Many other options as well. It's a large menu so you're not stuck with one or two items...

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.
