The restaurant has been approved by Beyond Celiac, and staff has been very knowledgeable every time I’ve gone here. They have great GF wings, buns, and more. Their fries are not GF, but their tater tots are!

Great food. Gluten free bun is one of the best I’ve had. I was told the staff prepares the food separately to not cross contaminate.

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.
