    Absolutely do not waste your time or money at this place. I was served water that had a strong chemical taste--something was clearly off, like it had been sitting somewhere it shouldn't have. On top of that, the level of unprofessionalism was hard to ignore. Staff seemed more focused on their phones than on serving customers, and the overall service was disorganized and inattentive. I asked for an apple juice for my daughter when we sat down and didn't receive it until the food came out. When I followed up a second time, the server responded with "yes please," which made no sense and added to the confusion. The food itself was mediocre at best--maybe a 5 out of 10. For the prices they're charging, you'd be better off going somewhere like Chili's, where at least you know what kind of service and quality to expect. I won't be returning.

    The place was remodeled after a grease fire. The inside is nice. Places under new management. Our server Kim was fantastic. The value menu is a great deal. Will often visit this new or renewed location. This week We came back again. Our server Ivy was awesome. The big deal meal is a good value beats chilies. Also offer a Veterans discount. A+++ to this restaurant

    The food was 3/5 which is interesting because normally I'd love Applebees food but it was not that great this time around. I'm giving it an overall 4/5 because my server Brandon was fantastic! His service was a 5/5 for sure. Attentive and friendly. The sampler platter was okay. I didn't touch the chips because the spinach dip was not good. I tried it twice and couldn't continue. The other food was alright. My four Mac and cheese with honey pepper chicken seemed like it'd be packed with flavor but again it was just okay. The best thing by far was one of this month's specialty drink, the Berry Merry Colada. It was great!

    The restaurant was not very busy but it was staffed for an army. The staff was on their phones and ignored the customers. The food was sloppy and the steak was very fatty and chewy. The .50 boneless wings are just chicken nuggets. The assistant manager was very sweaty and had a strong odor. He was polite though

    The food was very good however when I ordered chicken wings I realized that they were just chicken tenders with bbq sauce on them so. The service was very nice and they check on you thoroughly, the only issue was when I asked for the dessert menu and she brought me a check thought I believe that was just a mistake. It was a bit cold but it was clean, the table didn't have any crumbs and was very clean.

    Ashley promptly waited on us and met our needs throughout our lunch. She provided solid recommendations that we tried, with happy results! Two in our party had cheeseburgers, accurately customized and accompanied by delicious crisp fries. The burgers were the right balance of beef, cheese, fixings, and bun. The portion was large. I enjoyed the grilled chicken tortilla wrap, with lean breast meat, vegetables, and crispy Asian noodles. Social distancing and safety precautions were all adhered to. We enjoyed our meal of entrees under $10 each.

Whether it's the NFL Sunday Ticket, March Madness, or local Penn State games, the atmosphere is loud, proud, and electric. Arooga's built its reputation on its wings, which have consistently taken home top honors at the Buffalo Wing Festival (winning titles like "America's Next Top Restaurant Franchise" and multiple "Simply the Best" awards from Harrisburg Magazine). You can choose between: Original: Bone-in, extra-large, and crispy. Boneless: Hand-breaded and never frozen. Guiltless: Un-breaded and baked for a lower-calorie option. The real star of the show is the selection of over 30 proprietary sauces and rubs. They range from the beginner-friendly to the "I-need-a-glass-of-milk" level. Highlights include: Signature Favorites: Almost Everything (a cult classic), Kangarooga, and Coal Cracker. Sweet & Savory: Hickory Smoked Honey BBQ and Mango Habanero. Extreme Heat: Sudden Death and the infamous Ghost Face Killa. While the wings get the trophies, the strombolis (or "Bolis") are a sleeper hit on the menu. The Original Boli: A hefty blend of ham, Genoa salami, mozzarella, provolone, and--uniquely--mustard, served with a side of marinara. Buffalo Chicken Boli: Stuffed with their signature buffalo chicken dip and mozzarella, it's a massive, gooey meal that's perfect for sharing (or not). Since it first opened in 2008 (starting in Harrisburg before expanding to York), Arooga's has mastered the formula of "better-than-average" bar food. It's a Certified Green Restaurant, so you can feel a little better about that mountain of wings. If you want a quiet intimate dinner, keep driving--but if you want a beer flight, 40 different sauce options, and every game on at once, this is your spot.

Service is really good. We came over here on an after wedding celebration and they had saved many tables for us to addd to the merriment. Superb ambiance, festive, young, sporty.

My wife had the fish and chips. Food was good and plentiful. Service was very good, ate with some old friends, there was no rush, they gave us plenty of space. The menu is varied, specials are not typical fare, but also do not become science projects like so many "creations" do. The food is left to speak for itself. Affordable. Two small criticisms, can be loud in certain areas. They are very accommodating in moving you. The parking lot. Walking over the bridge can be an issue with cars. Worth the trip.

It sounds bold, and it is, but it works beautifully. The broth is rich and deeply savory, the cheese pull is perfect, and the crispy rings add a texture you never knew the classic was missing. The pork chop remains the star of the menu--huge, expertly seasoned, and cooked with precision. It's widely considered the best in the city, and honestly might be the best in the state. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor, it's the kind of entrée you end up recommending to friends for weeks. Their octopus is another standout, prepared with surprising delicacy. Tender, not chewy, with a perfect char that adds just the right amount of smokiness. It's balanced, refined, and one of the most memorable small plates you'll find locally. And don't leave without dessert--the crème brûlée is phenomenal. Silky smooth custard under a flawlessly torched sugar crust that cracks just right. Simple, classic, and executed perfectly. Between the inventive dishes and the warm atmosphere, The First Post remains a must-visit for anyone who loves great food done exceptionally well.
