Hey so I am at arooga's right now with two friends. The bartenders working are very inattentive to every customer I have watched come up to the bar. I ordered one drink and basically had to beg the bartender to come over to me a second time to order another drink. My other friend was not even approached for another drink during the hour we spent here. I told the bartender I wanted to hold off on food for awhile and was never approached ever again. There is a need for more personable staff and maybe extra bartenders since these cannot pay enough attention to their customers. read more

I've come here a couple times and haven't left a review yet! So, if I go back somewhere, I usually like it (unless someone is forcing my hand obvi). So with Arooga's, it's a big sports bar - which is fantastic when a game is on. TVs EVERYWHERE. The service is super slow, sometimes a little less than attentive, but the drinks are good and the food is really decent. They seem to have made a big commitment to quality ingredients and it tastes like it! Food is priced accordingly. There are no wing specials. I only gave 3 stars because service is important to me - especially when I'm starving. But other than that, go on in! I think the crowd is really made up of those tenants who live above it - who all seem very nice. read more

Never any issues with the food & solllllid trash cans. Will continue to go regardless of the negativity ‍

Theres always a cover. They let people in who are visibly under 21. Drinks are watered down and over priced. The only reason they're not getting 1 star is because they have decent food. Probably wouldn't recommend. read more

Went through DoorDash to order because we want to support local restaurants. I Received the sorriest wings I'd ever seen. You have to be really drunk to ignore the neglect these wings got. That might fly when they have a crowded bar, but won't pass muster with ordering at home. These are supposed to be "world class wings"? Yeah, right, if you like them dry, unchewable, overcooked and tasteless. Just bad. The "tray of fries" were soggy but tasted good. Never again. read more

It was my first time here after hearing everyone rave about it but honestly it's nothing to rave about minus their potato soup with bacon it was great! But I ordered the bacon burger & it was the size of a McDouble from McDonalds I literally was like "what is this?" I could have went to McDonalds at this rate. The burger had no seasoning but the hot peppers & cheese tried to hide the fact that it wasn't but I know my flavors so I wasn't having it. I had to dip my burger in honey mustard to get over the basic taste. I also had the fajita chicken & it was soooo dry & had no flavor. I really HOPE you guys don't think salt & pepper is seasoning lol the cheese & peppers helped the dish & the dipping sauce taste like rubber. It was all trash honestly lol When it comes to service our waiter Jay was ok, he was very informal to us like we were kids so he was rushing saying "are you ready to order yet?" I was like uhuh he tried it lol i get it was a busy night but he vibe was weird, we didn't like how he responded to us. Especially when my friend asked for a coke & he was like "okay a Pepsi" & walked away & came with a Pepsi, how did he know she even wanted one? Lol read more

I've been wanting to try this place for months and I'm glad I did. I went here on a Tuesday evening around 5 with a friend. Our server was Jennifer and she was fantastic! They had just opened a section when we got there so we were the first ones and the music was loud enough to the point where we had to raise our voices to hear each other. I asked Jennifer if she could turn the music down and was so nice and did it so it was more comfortable to talk. I had the black bean burger and fries. I really liked the fries. They're midway between the skinny McDonald's fries and fat steak fries and are really well seasoned. The veggie burger was ok. Not the most amazing thing I've never had but I appreciated the option, especially since it wasn't the dreaded portobello burger (seriously, who wants a giant mutant mushroom as a meal?!). My friend had the "It's So Gouda" burger with tater tots and she really enjoyed it. Like I mentioned before, our server was awesome and attentive without being annoying. We actually were there for about 2.5 hours and she was so incredibly nice and offered to refill our drinks despite having closed our check. While walking out, I passed two workers, both of whom went out of their way to wish me a good night. Something little but much appreciated. They also have TONS of TVs, including individual TVs at each table, with channels and volume that can be adjusted by a little switch on the side. I like this place! Good service and good food, I'll definitely be back! read more

We've given this place a few try's. The food isn't even edible anymore. Will never go back. The management has always tried to have us come back since we live in the town, the food is just horrible. With so many options it's not worth it. read more

Here for mom's day brunch. After ordering we waited an hour, we were told they ran out of eggs and breakfast would be out shorly. Well, it came out. Pancakes were undercooked and falling apart. Egg shells in my eggs and they forgot my beacon. First and last time here. The poor people next to us have a choice of pancakes or pancakes. read more

My fiancé and I have been to Arooga's quite a bit but after today's experience, we will never go there ever again! Two of our friends were in town for the holidays, one from NJ and the other from MD. We wanted to have a few apps, beers and watch football. Arooga's wasn't packed, so we went in and sat at a high-top by the bar. We were immediately approached by the bouncer and were demanded to present our IDs, which was of course not a problem since all of us are well over the age of 21. He asked for a second form of ID from our two friends who were visiting and they complied and gave another form. Unfortunately, their credit card was not accepted. Both of our friends embarrassingly dumped out their wallets for the bouncer and nothing was acceptable. They showed him things with their full name, another photo ID, etc., but he would not accept anything unless it showed that they were from NJ and MD. After a ridiculous amount of back-and-forth, my fiancé asked to speak with a manager. The manager was just as rude and unprofessional as the bouncer (and not to mention, looked younger than we did). The manager said, whatever the bouncer says goes. From there, we left. On the way out I asked the bouncer, "what kind of identification are you expecting to see that states their home address or state of residency?" He said, "I've had plenty of people show me their boaters license." This was LAUGHABLE. Is this place serious? A NYC club on a Saturday night does not even go as far as asking for this sort of identification. Our group left and went to the Village Idiot where they happily accepted our business. We will never go to Arooga's again. read more

Lack of customer service on multiple occasions. Bartender saw us sitting there for at least 20 minutes and didn't even acknowledge us. Not even a "hey I'll get to you in a minute". I get it if you're busy but the bar wasn't even a quarter full. Had to walk out and even the TWO hostesses seemed to not even know we existed. There are plenty of bars in Patchogue that you don't need to deal with this nonsense. read more

I've been here a few times and all I can say is the crab pretzel is really good. After that the food goes downhill. the only reason I come here now is for a drink and the pretzel but that doesn't call me all that often. read more

Wow, what can I say. I just met Meagan for the first time and she is so sweet. Greeted me and my family with a smile. She was an awesome bartender and although it was busy she never stopped working hard. She introduced us to the manager Michelle who had us all laughing. The food was really good and I strongly recommend the Impossible burger as well as the Pirogies. read more

Went to Arooga's this past weekend. Always great service at the bar. Nice to see familiar bartender faces there. Sarah served me. She's always super nice and friendly. Food was good. Have to start coming in more. read more

Nice vibe. You are eating at a sports bar. The restaurant area in the back is pretty spacious. The menu offers typical sports bar food (think burgers, sandwiches, wings). I ordered wings Arooga style, meaning they were bathed in the sauce of my choice over a Paul Bunyan sized portion of thick cut fries. Pretty decent. Great bear selection, both tap and bottles. read more

So many places in Patchogue and I guess this would be the one true sports bar of them all. Ton of TVs and nice atmosphere but food and service is just very average at best (and I was there on a Monday afternoon when it wasn't very busy). Average burger, old French fries, beer that lacked carbonation and was served to me looking like urine in a pint glass with no head. Three stars for all the big screens above the bar so in that sense definitely not a bad spot to watch some games. read more

Bar food. Nothing more. Its serviceable for the price. The pictures in the menu look better than what is served. My service was pretty annoying tonight. read more

The food is good and decently priced. The atmosphere is great up until you realize they have the world's worst bartenders. It's twice I've been there and they literally pay no attention to you. Today my friend and I sat down for 15 minutes and the bartender did not seem to care to serve us at all. He didn't even wanna give us a drink menu when we asked. He was some chubby bearded brown haired dude. Anyway I'd rather walk out and tip a bartender that actually deserves it. Also they only allow a certain amount of alcohol in their drinks so good luck wasting your money. read more

Stopped by sunday night for a quick meal before going to a show downtown. After seeing some of the reviews, I was worried that about the service. Not a problem. Backroom was about 3/4 full and service was excellent. The wait staff was right there and the food runners were spot on. There were TV's every where you looked and a great selection of games. Now the food. Had fried pickles, burger, and loaded fries. All were good. My wife had a philly cheese steak. Great sandwich and good cole slaw. Amazing selection of beers. It's a chain, but a great chain. Will return. read more

Where do I start... My wife and I were were so excited for a new sports bar in Patchogue. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in with the set up. Plenty of TVs and what seemed to be the perfect Sunday football location. Here's were the problem started. Sat at a high top table, there was a neon bud light sign located above our heads which attracted every genre of flying insects known to man. The problem was these insects were falling on to the table and on to me. I'm not one to complain much due to the fact I was so excited I tried to not let it bother me. The food... I was convinced that they could have served me spicy brown mustard on a cardboard box and I still would've been optimistic about this place. That was until my wife got her sliders. Undersized and bland. Our waitress had no personality. She never asked my wife if she wanted a drink, only me. After asking if I wanted another jack and Coke, My wife had to flag her down to tell her to order another bud light and the waitress's response "wow you drank that fast" meanwhile it was 20 mins since we got our drinks. ***update*** We started to write this review a few weeks ago and never posted it. We decided to give it another shot. We are currently here sitting in a booth in the back for Sunday football. (We are pat fans and it wasn't on reg tv) The only thing that is good about this place is the TVs. The food was absolutely horrendous once again. Our waitress this time around is very nice and attentive. We will never come back to this place. read more

Went to Aroogas the other day and ordered a burger medium-well done. Waiter comes over looking like Zangief from Streetfighter and throws down a burger which was pretty damn good but I just didn't like the Mets hat he was wearing, so I asked for another waiter and in comes in this stunning gentleman with tattoos and ear Guages. Without even telling the new waiter my order he knows what I want and need in life, like he's reading my mind. Not even 5 minutes go by and he effortlessly moonwalks the food to my table like Michael Jackson in the flesh, and even lets out a "hehe" as he struts on back to the kitchen. I would like to add that on the way back to the kitchen he decided to punch one of the barbacks in the face and screamed "stop flexing Tom ur not big!" In his direction. Quite a bizarre experience i must say, but very fulfilling. Will eat here again. That guy for president!! read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would- and I RARELY post any reviews on yelp. We have ordered this several times on DoorDash and each time it has been terrible. First of all, they can't even get the order right. Incorrect orders, extremely poor food quality (our mozzarella triangles were BARELY cooked) and I am a vegetarian and specifically asked for ONLY AMERICAN CHEESE on a grilled cheese and they added BACON. Now my meal was contaminated by the meat because they can't get an order right. The food quality was absolutely horrible- the chicken fingers my boyfriend ordered were cold and extremely unsatisfying. Please DO NOT GO and DO NOT ORDER from this establishment. They CLEARLY do not hold themselves to high standards. read more

This is the kinda place that is hard to review.... It's like they strive to be middle of the road and take pride in it! We've eaten here a few times now, they have a HUGE menu and a lot of interesting drink options, if you like SPORTS there are a bazillion TV's everywhere. Definitely great for a group, an office outing, place to bring a picky family and everyone will be satisfied. That's also my biggest critique with this place, it just doesn't fit in Patchogue with so many other fantastic choices... If Aroogas opened up in a central PA mall it'd be a great destination. If you are looking to bring the kids somewhere, impress your bro's by ~signing the waver~ to even sample their hottest wing sauce, do a girls night out at a place with YUGE novelty drink glasses, Aroogas is a solid choice. For anything else, the entirety of Patchogue is a better bet. read more

Great place to go to watch the game with buddies, massive bar with plenty of TVs. The menu is tremendous but the food is pretty good from what I have tried (wings and burger). Everything is reasonably priced. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant since they opened. Generally the service and food is very good. Today I ordered delivery and it was so very terrible. I ordered an appetizer platter with bone dry sliders, mac and cheese tasteless. Tacos mediocre tater tots tasted like they were made in old grease, so disgusting. I'm so disappointed. 60 bucks wasted read more

This morning we decided to give Arooga's a shot for super bowl brunch since we have been to the other brunch spots in town. We were a party of 8 and the first (and for a bit the only ones) there. Everything started off well, but then went downhill from there. What seemed to be the problem is not having the staff there to properly take care of more than one table. While the menu is expansive, it took forever to get our food. There were two tables, including us, at this point. Our second round of drinks were sitting at the bar right in front of us, and the bartender clearly knew they belonged to our table. Eventually we just got up and got them ourselves. Most of our food was cold, which was surprising considering how long it took to get. The manager realized this and comped us some extra snacks, but needless to say we won't be back. read more

It's a nice location with a nice sized bar with a lot of beer options. The food they serve, is garbage. It's all premade food they buy prepared and heat up. Menu is way too big, and they do nothing well. I strongly suggest not getting any food. It's all gimmicks and trying to be fancy, but they just buy it and heat it up. read more

So far so good. Have been here once for lunch. Service was quick. Good beer selection. Food was on par with what you'd expect for a sports bar, maybe a little more to the plus side hence the higher than OK rating. LOTS of flat screen TV's. I don't live in the area so I doubt I'll ever be around to see what the place is like at night with a few games on but I'm sure they'll do just fine. read more

I have been to Arooga's before in person and it was okay. I decided to order through Door Dash. After waiting an hour and a half I called my dasher and I found out that Arooga didn't realize that their system wasn't turned on. The Dasher had to manually import the order and was told it would take 15 minutes. I find it surprising that on a Saturday night Arooga's wouldn't check to see that their system wasn't available? We ordered at 4:30pm and received the order at 6:40pm. We order a burger, fish and chips and pick 2 fajita's. When we finally got the order we realized they got the order wrong. We asked for Chicken and steak Fajita and we were sent the Shrimp and Chicken. I do no suggest doing take out from Arooga's. This is the second time ordering take out and both times were wrong. Very disappointing. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in patchogue. Being a vegetarian I am thrilled will all of the options they have. Their faux wings are amazing (ask for the sauce on the side to get the best crispy chix). I have no complaints the food always comes out fresh, the wait staff is friendly & accessible. Definitely a place you should try out read more

What more can I say this place looks great. The food that was recommended by the highly efficient waitress, Gabby, was delicious. It's a combination of the attentive staff as well as the superb food that will make me come back. Thank you very much for making me feel comfortable in a new environment Gabby. read more

Went there this evening with family and friends. We're seated right away. For a sports bar it was actually very quiet and tv's were silent so we could talk and have fun. Everything we ordered was delicious (crab pretzel smelled a little too much like seafood). Waiter was attentive and funny and pleasant. Potato soup was delicious and cheesy. With so many restaurants in that area will need to try them but will definitely go there again. read more

Rainy Sunday afternoon... excited to watch the Steelers... back of the bar... socially distanced... we ordered garlic parmesan wings... they were small dry and flavorless... sprinkle of Kraft parmesan at the bottom of the wax paper basket the wings came in... two sticks of celery that have seen better days... two baby carrots... baby carrots?!... are we not even deserving of fresh cut carrot sticks?... meatball sub was supposed to be a hangover cure... should have held the meatballs... Costco Kirkland meatballs would have been better than the three dry hard meatballs nestled in Prego marinara sauce and two slabs of government cheese... the bread was the only salvageable part... the house chips... you envision that you'd get golden crispy salty homemade chips... not these limpy wet undercooked potatoes soaked in oil... at least the server was nice... never again and highly not recommended... no option for 0 stars... which was what was deserved read more

Sooooo, you're apparently not allowed to wear a hoodie at aroogas? We literally got kicked out because my friend was wearing a sweatshirt, we just wanted to grab some food in the DINE IN section not even the bar, I understand a dress code for the bar but not for dine in. That's just disgusting. Made him put on another jacket then told him nevermind because he was wearing sweats. I'm so saddened considering I've been here about 2-3 times this past 2 weeks. Highly disappointed. read more

I haven't had a bad meal in here as of yet. Their sliders are so juicy and their wings are unforgettable.

Decent food but the service is consistently poor. It's not uncommon to first be asked for drink orders 15 min after sitting at the bar even when it's empty. You will also wait another 15 before they ask if you want to order food. After you get your drinks and food, you're pretty much on your own. They rarely ask if you would like refills. The food/drinks are solid, but the service is very spotty. You should not have to beg for their attention. Servers are usually too busy avoiding you or flirting with customers. read more

So I stopped by Aroogas the other day, first time hearing of the place. Food was great as was the service. Me and my friends ordered a wide variety of their large menu, lots of good comfort food, burgers, cheese steaks (so damn good), good quality big tender wings with a great original variety of sauces etc. great beer selection with a full bar. TV's everywhere, will be an awesome place to catch games on those football Sunday's coming up. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

I placed a takeout catering order from them on their website over a week in advance. Called 4 days before the order (to modify it) was supposed to be delivered and they didn't have my order. After dealing with a rude manager saying "I don't want to be blamed for this you probably put the wrong location in" I sent him my order confirmation number and location. (the location was right) He then said I don't know why we didn't get the order. Fast forward to the day of delivery they were on time and delivered everything but the food was not good. Everything was pretty much cold and the mac and cheese had no flavor. The taco bar was pathetic. Wings were cold and flavorless. Pretzel bites were burnt. Way overpriced food and the service I had was horrible. No discounts for the inconvenience. Very disappointing from the start. read more

This place is barely worth a review. The service was mediocre and the wings that I expected to be amazing since I was in a wing place were probably the worst wings I ever had. I ordered the kangarooga flavored wings and they tasted like NOTHING. My friend ordered the "almost everything" wings which also had little flavor. Along with all of them being over cooked, and not in the good crispy wing kind of over cooked. They're receiving two stars from me only because their friend banana peppers were delicious. That was their saving grace. The Arooga light beer they brew was also below average. I won't be back, not for the wings atleast! read more

Bouncer was an ass. I had friends visiting from out of state and even though they were over 21 he continued to act rude and asked for a second proof which we willingly provided. These second proofs were apparently insufficient. After briefly encountering a manager who seemed to care less about the situation, his response was "what the bouncer says goes". I understand the process of checking Id's, but when you're whole group is over 21 and you feel like you're being harassed that is not a place I want to watch football on a Sunday. After the bouncer tried to instigate something further we left Aroogas disgusted. read more
