About Arooga’s
Arooga’s in Patchogue was very pleasant. The atmosphere gave me BWW at home and was more than inviting and welcoming. The staff was friendly and typical for a sports bar. What our meal consisted of: Amish Pirogues. Traditional cheese & potato dumplings with a house-made sweet chili sour cream dip. The pierogies themselves were great! Very hot when we got them and a flaky soft outer shell. The chili-sour cream dipping sauce being a tad too sweet is what kind of took away from such a great appetizer. Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Which consisted of Hand-breaded chicken breast, Nashville hot infused oil, a sliced dill pickle, on a buttered brioche. Talk about a mouthful.. this sandwich was delicious. Never have I ever had to cut a sandwich in half like I would a burger. Twas very large! But aside from size, what a bar set for future chicken sandwiches! I absolutely fell in love with the breading and the flavor of the chicken! Although the “hot infused oil” was far from hot (flavor).. or oil? It was a delight to have a new twist on such a staple idea that is the chicken sandwich. Then last but definitely not least was the Impossible Burger which consisted of a Plant-based burger patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle, burger sauce, all on a brioche bun with the option to sub for vegan if desired. My girlfriend had this and she was pleasantly delighted with how it turned out. She didn’t say much more due to her mouth being full of delicious food! No gripes from me! Was a very sterile and clean environment! Although we went at lunch and the place was slightly empty but it was definitely crowding up as the night progressed! Also, LOTS of beer on tap. More than I’ve ever seen! 10/10!
I've had a great experience with Arooga's and dealing with Charlie. He is always willing to work with me to collaborate on events for my establishment. Thank you! Me and my co-worker went for lunch and sat at the bar. The staff was friendly, accommodating and the food and drinks were great. :)
The server was super friendly. I wish I remembered names better. We got 2 drinks and an app sampler while waiting for a show at 89 north to start. Locations, food, drink, price, everything pretty much standard for the area. No complaints.
Flynn and Ryan were absolutely amazing will be back soon to see them and only them!! Charlie the manager what the sweetest person!! Definitely will recommend to friends and family
Terrible service. The waiter seemed confused about whether I wanted to be seated, and I had to ask for a table myself. There was no silverware set, and no one checked in to see how my meal was or if I needed anything. When I was clearly finished, having pushed my plate away, I still had to ask for the check. Overall, a disappointing experience.
