Arooga's

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.

Bar atmosphere. Burger was good. Did not feel sick.

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gf buns are best ever had for sandwiches and tater tots are gf with their own fryer!

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!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good GF options and they also have GF beer!

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...

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten at Arooga’s several times since moving to the area recently and have felt fine after each meal. I have celiac and often react to cross contamination so this is a win! I have had the wings, burgers, tater tots, salads, and baked potato soup. All amazing!

I had very high hopes for this establishment after reading the many glowing reviews on how good the food was and how knowledgeable the staff was on gluten free. I unfortunately have to say that this was not the case in my experience. Many of the items were marked gluten free on the menu, including the traditional wings. When I went to order the traditional wings I was told that they were fried in the same fryer as the fries which contain gluten. I then ordered the “guiltless wings” which are just baked pieces of chicken breast with sauce. I was then asked if I wanted a side of tots, I then asked if they were fried in the same fryer as the fries and wings and was rudely told that they were gluten free and why would I be offered them if they weren’t gluten free, so I ordered them as well. When I received my food I was very underwhelmed and when I tried one of the tots they tasted old and like fish, which makes me believe they were sitting out for a long time and were possibly fried in the same fryer as the fish and chips that are offered on the menu, I ended up not eating any of the tots and only ate a couple pieces of my baked chicken chunks which were underwhelming in taste as well. When I got my receipt I was shocked to see that there was no allergy notice or allergy flag placed on my meal.

I eat here regularly. Menu is marked, they always have cider in bottles. Ask for your tater tots or wings to be made in the dedicated gf fryer. They have gf buns for burgers and sandwiches.

Really hit or miss. This place has gf food, but both times I was there the dedicated fryer was down, they didn't have any gf rolls, and the server was not knowledge at all about food sensitivities.
