Best WLM Reviews

Came downtown to one of my regular establishments to watch the games and have some drinks, and their outdated TV systems are barely working.... These guys bust their butts to serve their guests, and corporate can't help by updating the media platform to offer its guests some entertainment... I recommend it to any future patrons if you're coming here to watch your games, find another establishment to enjoy your games... Corporate, please step up your support for your team and guests...Very sad????
We got take out via DoorDash and on the whole the food was good. $14 for ten popcorn chicken pieces that I had to sauce myself being called a boneless wing is freaking robbery.
Pretty uninspiring food, it’s ok for what it is, as reheated frozen food, but this is certainly not made fresh in any kitchen.
Walked into your restaurant at noon today, hoping to grab a quick bite to eat. Sat at the bar and I was the only one in your restaurant at the start of your lunch shift. I then waited over 8 minutes and was never even acknowledged with a customer greeting. The bar tender did make eye contact and she that I sitting there. Two other wait staff were sitting at the bar at the same time near to me. No acknowledgement from anyone. ????
So I left your restaurant. Not good customer relations from your staff, in my opinion.
I have to assume this Arooga's does not need or want business. Lack of customer acknowledgement appears to be the "rule of order". Last Arooga's visit for me.
It's official: Avoid this place at all costs!!!
As a restaurant, this place has gone downhill so far, I'm surprised they stay open.
Its been nearly 2 years since my last horrible takeout experience, and I regretable gave them another chance... HUGE mistake.
I placed an order through their website. Just a simple salad with chicken. I drove home, opened up the bag, and found a beautiful salad... except, no dressing. True, it's a small mistake. However, it's also a 10-15min drive each way, and eating a dry salad is not enjoyable. (And no, I don't have dressing at home).
And I can't forget the delightful experience at the bar while waiting for my food. The bartender got in a loud argument with a customer who ordered a "boil with peperoni," but he was served a salad bowl. The bartender argued that he said, "Bowl." I wasn't there when he ordered, but it seems like a simple misunderstanding. She continued to tell him [what] he said while he tried to calmly repeat, "boil." She eventually took it away and told him to "finish your drink and get out!" Very unprofessional experience for the entire restaurant to witness.
Food - 2 Stars, because WHEN it is actually right, it's pretty good, but it's rarely correct.
Service and Atmosphere - 1 Star.
Try ANYWHERE else, but this location
Previous experience, circa 2022-ish:
Ordered Uber Eats for 3. (Crab pretzel, 3 tacos with chips and salsa, and shrimp and pork Fajitas.)
When it was delivered, there were no Tortillas for the fajitas, only one thing of salsa, (although the fajitas and chips and salsa were each supposed to come with salsa), and the cheese for the fajitas what was just thrown in a large container, (see picture).
Obviously, I can't really enjoy fajitas with no tortillas. And the missing salsa really takes away from the chips and fajitas.
I called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager. I received the typical, "manager isn't available, I'll take you name/number and have him/her call you shortly. " Never received a call back.
I gave 2 stars b/c when they get the order right, it isn't bad... It's just getting harder and harder to have a good experience at this location.
Consider a different location if you have the ability to do so. Especially for delivery service since they can't "make if right" when (not IF), there's a mess up from the kitchen.
The mozzarella triangles tasted like the Friars need changed and the Boneless Wings weren't as good as I expected. It also took a while to get the food there were a group of us and they bought it out like literally one at a time since we had two children this didn't exactly work. One of the kids was practically done with their food before the other kid even got theirs bought out. Some of the items we ordered were off the appetizer menu so you would think that they would have been bought out sooner. However our waitress was the most wonderful person ever she changed our meal for a different meal for one of the kids she was great I definitely recommend her and I felt bad because it's not her fault that the food wasn't the best.
Ordered wings for my fiancée and myself. Sat down to eat the wing, and after taking a bite, it was raw. They told me I had to call Uber since they delivered my order. They said uber would resubmit my order but when i called uber they did no such thing Wouldn't order from here again due to being worried it might happen again and I wouldn't get my money back or getting sick.
This is one of my favorite sports bars. The service and food is always great and consistent. Lots of TVs. Love the Kangarooga sauce so much I always get a bottle to go. Their Arooga Light beer is banging!
