Empty restaurant = poor experience?!? IDK, I don't want to make assumptions so I gave it a try. After my family and I decided to go to the bar and order food to go, all we experienced was 4 bartenders, 1 lazy host, poor service, and terrible food. Well Yelp, I should have used you before we pulled into the parking lot. read more

Great sports bar, good bar food, great bears, good price. Just a good place to hang out.

I was at this Arooga's the same day (3/24) as Tandra C, who reviewed on Yelp. I wasn't surprised at her review. I also think the waitress described in Esin A's review must have 'waited' (and I say that begrudgingly) on my table. The experience in this Arooga's was bad from the start. They have 1950's-style booths in there. Problem is, this is the year 2024, and those booths should have been replaced some 30 years ago. The booths are old, ripped/torn, and as is the case for my booth, I sat in a hole, the cushioning gone with the last century I imagine. There are plenty of TV's to watch games, just don't touch the small tv's in the booths as they are disgustingly dirty, like haven't been cleaned in years dirty. We placed the order with the waitress, eventually got our food, and then she 'disappeared'. We drank our drinks and placed them at the edge of the table, hoping for refills at some point. We waited. Eventually she came back and refilled, but the next visit was to hand us our check. She NEVER removed any dishes or anything that was done/empty. Isn't this waitressing 101? Also, the 'sheet of nachos' was on a warped pan that kept spinning when you tried to grab a nacho. Speaking of which, shouldn't a sheet of nachos have ..... nachos? There were few to be found, but if you're a rabbit, plenty of lettuce to be had. The pizza was bad too. Overall, this wasn't an enjoyable experience. I've been to Arooga's on Rt 22, and these two locations don't compare, at all. read more

Chill atmosphere. Places was full. TVs playing sports and other TV shows. Great music selection. Restaurant created to look like a diner met a sports bar. Lots of room for families and large parties. Long bar area as well. Loads of options on craft & draft beers, liquor, food and desserts. My hubs and I ordered the philly cheesesteak steak boli & the pulled pork over white cheddar mac & cheese. We're picky eaters and we thought the food was spot on delicious. We topped our food with their award winning hot sauce called The Almost Everything. We enjoyed it so much we order a bottle online. We would def visit again while in PA. read more

I understand all industries are experiencing hardships during the pandemic. However, to wait over an hour for a to go order, only for the to go order to come out completely wrong and for another patron at the restaurant is less than acceptable. Our order was for 4 items, most being wings. We decided to walk out and cancel our order due to the long wait time and the wrong order coming out. Side note: the amount of staff members not wearing masks properly was very concerning. I get it, I hate wearing my mask too, but wearing a mask in the food industry is especially important to help slow the spread of COVID. read more

I just went here for dinner with my family, and the food took a while to get there but keep in mind there was only one server which they were working quickly to help everyone. Once we got our food most of our items were missing or wrong. I will admit that the the staff is very nice. As we were getting ready to leave we went to the restroom only to see that it was a little uncomfortable given the fact that there were built in mirrors in every stall... There is no reason for a mirror being directly behind the toilet. read more

Arooga's - This mirror is built into the wall directly behind the toilet... a little creepy. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hummelstown, Pennsylvania

Absolutely horrible. Ordered food at 10:35 and didn't get it till 12:35! And it was missing items. And they don't ever answer the phone. read more

My fiance and I ended up at Arooga's after an evening at Hershey Park and no where else to eat for miles. (Also everything else was closing at 10pm- just 1 hour after the park closes- except Aroogas which closes at 2am daily and kitchen closes at midnight.) So maybe I'm being too generous with a 4-star review for this greasy spoon type spot. Seriously, I get that the food here is typical bar fare but even weeks later I am still thinking of those Bleu Cheese chips and how quickly we scarfed down that chilli dog! The chips were perfectly fried, crispy and COVERED in bacon and a chunky bleu cheese dressing. The hotdogs were great. I don't know if it was the not eating for like 8 hours or possibly the burning of hundreds of calories as we ran miles through Hershey Park in a (successful) attempt to ride 12 roller coasters in just under hours...either way this food HIT THE SPOT. Sidenote: It was incredibly cheap & the service was friendly. The bathrooms were clean...yay! read more

Arooga's - Two dogs ($10) and a side of Bacon & Bleu chips (+$2). Actuallg REALLY good. We tore it up! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hummelstown, Pennsylvania

Not sure why ratings are so low. I guess most people come in here expecting 3 Michelin star level service and food. Went on Monday for ayce wings(11.99 + beverage) a pretty good deal for a big boy like myself. As a chicken wing connoisseur, the sauce selection is enticing ranging from the spicy mango habanero to the buttery garlic parm and offers the traditional bone in as well as boneless and skinny. It also came with endless fries, which were par at best but it's there to snack on while finding your second wind. Service was great! Refills were done often, orders for next batch of wings were taken quickly and came out promptly, and I really appreciate it when our waitress was busy a member of the kitchen staff came out to deliver our food rather than leaving the food left to die cold waiting. Only thing I would recommend is to include ranch/blue cheese if you're gonna require a beverage for the ayce. Highly recommend if you're with friends who need a place to watch a sporting event. There's tv literally everywhere, no blind spots. I will be coming back... Tonight w the parents. read more

When I visited on Aug. 5th, the staff was kind and courteous, and the atmosphere fun, retro, and relaxing. Aroogas even advertises a gluten free menu (and has received excellent reviews on FindMeGlutenFree for having a kitchen trained in dietary restrictions). However, even after explaining the severity of my celiac disease to the waitress and the need to order solely off their gluten free menu, I still ended up receiving my order with potato rolls (which contain wheat) rather than gluten free buns. I realized this after eating one bite, and the staff was very kind and genuinely apologetic and quickly fixed my order. However, as anyone with celiac disease knows, the damage was done, and it has taken me about two weeks to start regaining my energy and overcoming abdominal cramps. I blame myself for not talking to a manager first when I arrived and for being too trusting, especially since I rarely eat out due to the severity of my celiac. That said, a restaurant should not advertise gluten free if they cannot make good on it, especially since this can severely affect someone's health - it's not a fad for me, it's avoiding chronic pain and staying healthy. Again, the staff was very kind and apologetic, but the restaurant needs to take gluten-free off the menu. If you do not have any food issues, then this likely would be an enjoyable and fun dining experience. However, if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, then stay far, far away. Risking your health is not worth it. read more

Very tasty, very nice staff! I like the crab pretzel. I cannot drink yet, but they are good with soda refills and super cool

I should have checked Yelp 1st. What a huge disappointment. We paid extra for extra wet wings, and they came both dry and cold. The tots were also cold. We didn't get the carrots, celery or the blue cheese dipping sauce. With tip it was over $40 for 10 wings and the tots. Don't waste your $ - GO ELSEWHERE!!! We went through Uber Eats and only received $5 back after sending feedback. They will not get a second chance. read more

Turned us away with a more than half empty restaurant because we had 10 people in our party. Absolutely ridiculous

Did not have a good experience at all. The portion sizes pictured in the menu should not be believed at all. The service was very slow and did not make any sense. It should not take 5 minutes to get mustard for a burger. Also usually when you order appetizers they come out at the same time. Most of the servers looked like they are working first jobs, while it is nice to not be bugged constantly if the food is ok, it's also not ok that most of the staff are hanging out chatting at their stations, and you can't get anyone's attention for silverware because the random person who dropped the food off was gone so fast. Good beer selection, finished it before the food came, was going to order another but never saw the server until we asked for the bill, o well saved me some money. Their "famous" wings were all sauce and no meat. Super small and not at all crispy, a good chicken wing should not be rubbery. From out of the area, menu looked good online, but the service and quality was just bad. Wife, who is usually very positive, encouraged me to write the review as she was displeased as much as I. read more

Decent burger but I asked for medium. This is like eating a hockey puck with bacon and a nice bun! read more

I have ordered to go food from this place for a while now since its the closet aroogas around here but the problem is they ALWAYS ALWAYS mess up my order and forget half my food like read the order please Im tired of trying to get my money back because the workers here cant read Also i tried calling them once to place an order and the person that answer was rude and kept hanging up on me after 5 seconds Unacceptable place to order carryout from why is it even an option anymore for this place read more

Half the bar filled and took me 29 minutes to order my food order my food to go. Not a nice bartender at that. She's a looker but no personality... Upon getting home to have my first chicken wing in about a year since I moved I realize I paid for extra crispy. What is the point in paying more when there is no crunch. Further more they were barley cooked. I wonder what it would look like not extra crispy. I used to be a daily patron here years ago. Sorry but you have officially dropped the ball Aroogas in Hummelstown, step it back up. read more

Came over last night to meet friends. The place was packed and the server was overloaded so the service was so-so but the food was good. Came back today. Our server, Kat, is awesome and the food is great again! read more

Love, Love, Love Aarooga's... The low star ratings are only because people don't like to wait to be seated... The service is very good... Waitresses are very attentive... Environment is very clean... Lots of TV's everywhere... Everything we've ordered over the past 2 years has been great... Lots of flavor... It's hard to try new things on their menu, because what we've ordered has never disappointed us... I love their Burgers & Wings & my wife loves their Mac & Cheese... Enjoy... But be patient on a busy night... read more

I attempted to call to place an order for pickup. I was met by a less than enthusiastic voice who transferred my call to the bar to order. My call was picked up by the same person who told me to call back on 5 minutes because the bartender was too busy. Okay, l'll bite. I called back 5 minutes later and was met by another individual who transferred my call to the bar again. The phone proceeded to ring 20 times and at that point I hung up. If o can't place a phone order on a Thursday at 7pm when it isn't tourist season, forget it. The last few trips here were borderline, this ensured I won't be going here ever again. I am happy to say we called the Boro and not only did they take my order properly, but they were also courteous. And the wings were amazing. read more

We joined the wait list that said 5-15 minutes & ended up waiting over an hour cause the little girl that was supposed to send us a message when our table was ready was too busy doing everything but her job. When my husband told her we've been waiting in the car for her to let us know she said nothing but yet seated like three other people who just walked into the restaurant. This Arooga's has always given us trouble. read more

I went a little bit before lunch time and it was slow. The waiter was nice but not around when you needed (plus texting and chatting with co-worker). The food was pretty good but the sampler had too much fries and not that much of anything else. Wing are good. I got the Mac and cheese burger it was good. I have one been in an Arooga's once and it was another location and I didn't like and now since I went to another Arooga's in another place I know one thing. I am not going back! read more

Not sure where the poorer reviews came from, maybe we just got lucky but we had a great sports bar experience. Congrats for Arooga's being one of the few options open past 10 pm in the Hershey area. We stopped by after a concert at the Giant Center around 11 pm. The atmosphere was very chill and even with people drinking and enjoying themselves, everything was calm. We found a great on tap selection of beer including a good selection of pretty standard IPAs. I had 1 or 3 Voodoo Ranger Hazy IPAs and it/they were delicious. We received spectacular service from Mike and the food was fast and delicious. Our table shared pierogies, mild wings (which is the perfect Red Hot/butter sauce that every buffalo sauce should be based on) plus the wings we had were thick and meaty, cheesesteak, and a chopped salad. We were originally delivered wings with mild honey bbq sauce but the mistake was quickly corrected between the food runner, manager, and server and the correct wings were quickly brought out. The pierogies were soft and tasty, the cheesesteak was philly style, which is not that great but predictable in PA (in my opinion, white cheese is better and philly style is missing onions mixed in with the meat and lettuce,tomato, and mayo), and the chopped salad was great with a delicious and unique blue cheese vinaigrette. We could not have asked for a better late night experience at a sports bar. We would definitely return and next time I will try the huge handmade pretzel made in store. It looked perfect going to a nearby table and I had a bit of food envy. read more

Worst chicken wings ever. We ordered through door dash the other day. I was looking forward to some good wings in hot sauce. What I got was the smallest wings I have ever seen. In fact they looked like Cornish hen wings. There was little to no meat on them and the rest was cooked down making them hard and impossible to eat. We ended up just throwing them away. I wish I had taken pictures. My thing is, whoever bought them knew they were inferior, whoever cooked them knew and whoever prepared them knew. Anyone selling such a thing should be embarrassed of the quality they are putting out. Arooga's you lost me forever. Very Very Poor. read more

Showed up on a Thursday. Have been here before. A bit crowded, which is definitely what you want to see. Sat at the bar. One of the best draft beer selections around. Good food. Yes, it's bar food. Great service! When they say they are a sports bar, I must admit, they have more TV's, and game selections, than anywhere I've ever been. I do not live in this area, but will keep coming back, as I travel thru this area. read more

While my boyfriend and I are locals we to the area and frequently go into Aroogas to eat. I will NEVER order take out from them again. They messed up my entire order and then TWO managers tried to argue with me that the order was messed up because I didn't order right. No, my order was messed up because who ever put together our order doesn't know how to do their job! The ticket proved that I ordered certain items and the items in the bag were NOT the items I ordered. Frankly, extremely disappointed in this restaurant. On top of them getting our order completely wrong, OUR FOOD WAS ICE COLD! read more

The carpet had food/trash in several spots the whole time we were there. The food was very tasty but the wings are tiny. Our server was very nice. read more

Menu isn't fancy, but every item I've had thus far is delicious. This place has great drink specials and their drinks are yummy (might want Uber because you can't have just one). Staff, customers and environment is fun. This is my new fav sports bar. If you sit at a table, request Everet, he is hilarious! read more

Your basic arooga's chain wing stop. The wings are always good. The setup is good for sporting events as tv's are plentiful. Have not had many items on their menu other than their wings. read more

Great atmosphere! Awesome place! But our waiter Kayla was horrible. Never did she ask to take anything from our table, so I had to keep piling our dirty dishes at the end of the table. She rolled her eyes when we asked for extra napkins. Out of my 15 years of legally drinking, I've NEVER been attempted to be cut off at 3 drinks. If I ever come back to this place, I'll make sure to never sit in her section again. I was so upset with my service I paid my bill and left without leaving a single tip. read more

Alright listen-- I haven't gone through and read the other reviews but I'm telling you right now: this place is where you want to watch football. My wife and our friends joined Arooga's for Week 1 and had a blast. Chris Mason, their FANTASTIC GM, took care of us and went above and beyond. If you are looking for a sports bar in the Hershey area, Aroogas is the way to go. Can't recommend it enough. read more

All the food was good. Only issue was the wings. The picture looks like the best wings ever. When you get them they are small and leave something to be desired, like my penis. read more

Went here when in Hershey PA and it was good. It's your typical bar grill food. Some items have a twist. Such as a PB&J burger. Or a burger with a donut for the bun. I got a waygu burger with loaded fries and I got onion rings. The flavor in the onion ring breading was fantastic. They use trooges beer in the batter. Burger was good and cooked just the way I asked. Service was great. The waitress was super nice and we were a table of 12 and she handled it perfectly. Pricing is decent and tons of TVs to watch. read more

We called Arooga's bar and grill at the last minute to see if they could accommodate a party of 11. We were told they could. When we arrived the staff were putting tables together and we were seated right away and given menus. The service was excellent along with the food. Tammy was our waitress. She served our drinks and took our food order within a very short period of time. She made sure our drinks were refilled and checked often to see if we needed anything additional. We were impressed with this restaurant and our waitress especially since there were 11 of us. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Was supposed to eat at another restaurant, which we had reservations for but did not work. A person in our group called and was told that they could accommodate us. When we got there staff accommodated us without any issue!!!!! We had an amazing waitress Tammy. She did a great job taking care of our large group. read more

Good local spot, pretty busy but we're seated within 15 min. Bacon cheese fries were great. The beer made there was pretty good. All the food, cheesesteak, burger, chicken fingers were really good and we would go back. read more

PLEASE READ WORST PLACE EVER BEEN TO EATING OUT FOR OVER 40 YEARS. Was here this weekend and remember this place being somewhat decent, so though to bring the family and try it out. Turns out either my memory had been washed or I'm just a complete idiot. This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. I'll keep out the small details but I'll include the funny ones. Just to cover the basis of the story, we arrived around 10:30, and left at 12:45. Seems like a long time, right? Well that's cause our food didn't arrive till 11:30, all at once. This meaning our appetizers came roughly 5 minutes before our entrees. we waited an hour for, wait for it, 20 wings and an order of nachos. we had asked the waitress to bring out the kid food order out as well with the appetizers in belief that the food would come faster so they can eat. it was a disaster. The wings weren't terrible, solid 6/10, but the nachos were basically microwaved together onto the plate with sourcream and lettuce. Now for the entrees and I'll tell you some funny details. I ordered the rib and sliders entree. Looked good on the menu so why not give it a try. Once the food got to the table at 11:40, I was ready to go to pizza hut down the street. The sliders were decent, 7/10, while the ribs were untrimmed, not cooked all the way through, and barely had any sauce or seasoning on it. Looked like something a 12 year old would make at their culinary class at school. now here's some funny details. Once the appetizers came, we realized we had no plates, so my cousin went to go find the waitress cause we couldn't wait any longer!!!! Not able to find the waitress, he asks a man working the phone in the back if he can just take the plates out of the kitchen himself as a joke, and the MAN SAID GO RIGHT AHEAD! WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS !! RIDICULOUS LAZY SERVICE. We also had noticed a couple had been waiting about 15 minutes to be seated, so my cousin gets up, takes one of the menus from our tables, and gladly seats them so they do not wait longer for this terrible service. At this point the 4 other tables in the store have also realized what has gone on, and laugh with us at this point!! the couple was even given our extra plates, napkins, and a fork and knife set we hadn't touched yet, all by my cousin! He deserved the tip ( if they even gave one!!) I can't even go on, ridiculous, terrible, do not go here if you are from out of town or even if you live there because I would rather drink sewer water and I'm a germaphobe! read more

This place is great! There's some different stuff on the menu you don't see at other places. The portions are huge. Service is great. Our server Maddy recommended the glazed donut burger and it was delicious. Everyone with us loved their food. We'll definitely be back. read more

Food is subpar and over priced.Ordered 20 original wings with mildly hot sauce to split with my son. What a disappointment. The wings where the size of a baby's finger and costs over 20 dollars. Spoke with the manger and all he could say was "well that's the size of our wings." Then ordered a burger for my son and it took 30 mins for it to come out at 10:20 at night with the restaurant was 1/4 full. Ridiculous. . read more
