Arooga's

I've visited these folks twice and it's the perfect example of a Yelp A-OK 3 star place.

I sat at the bar both times and experienced a total of three bartenders. They were all A-OK and did nothing good or bad that would make them stand out.

I ordered a boli on one occasion and a burger on the other visit.  With each item the value for the price and the quality and flavor were fine.  Once again nothing special or nothing bad to make them stand out.  It was just another sports bar meal.

The beer list includes about 30 taps.  They are a mix of domestics, house beers, and common crafts.  If you are a beer aficionado you would not go out of your way to come here but you would find a craft or two that were acceptable.  Once again, A-OK.

If you're craving bar food and a beer and want to watch a game on approximately a zillion TVs, this place will get the job done.

Arooga's is a small pub chain with a sports bar theme, lots of TV's. The menu is huge, too big. Good selection of beer but all keg beer no cask beer. The menu was not always accurate. The top of page said all entrees come with two sides, but the dish I ordered was an exception. My main complaint was appetizer came at the same time as my main course. The waitress takes your order but someone from the kitchen was bringing the food so there is a communication break down I suppose. The menu says "natural cut fries" but this is misleading they are not fresh cut fries they tasted pretty bad. What does "natural cut " even mean, is there an un-natural cut of a potato????    My food was hot, tasty and portion size was good. Arooga's is good value for money . So I had some small niggling complaints with Arooga's  but I will give  a second chance to see if I just hit on a bad day, or management needs to be more on top of things.

I keep coming back to this place because the food, especially the wings, are very good. However the service always stinks. Slow incompetent wait staff and kitchen. Management should really work harder at training and get rid of those who cannot cut it
