Arooga's Grille House - Harrisburg

Went here 2 weeks ago and absolutely loved it! The people and the staff were very friendly. Me?

It's like any other sports bar. There's a regular bartender, Amber, who's one of the nicest bartenders I've ever treated. But again. Just a regular place with mediocre food.

So... listen... I'm from Florida, I was here for a family holiday. No other choice than to go there and the season opener vs. Utah. This place not only made me welcome (in all my Gator gears), but gave us sound and the best service. I can't say enough positive. I have to go!

The food came as we ordered. Really good onion rings. The Peach Sangria was delicious. The service was fast.

I'll start off strong saying that the food was really good. EXTREMELY pricey, but good nonetheless. $16 for a few slices of chicken and grilled veggies. But again, good. However, the reason for my 2 star review is the service. I was sat in the back by the bar, just before dinner staff showed up. No host/hostess, so I walked to the back. The bartender had me sit in the back at a table. The bartender was extremely busy and took our order. Another waitress served us our food, and just dropped the food off and left without saying hardly a word. We sat and ate for probably 30 minutes give or take. Not a single time did someone come to check up on us. The bartender refused to make eye contact, the waitress that served us vanished, and eventually we had to go the bar to fill up our drinks. In summary. I get that the bartender was swamped, but with (what seemed like at least) other staff in the store walking passed and disregarding eye contact was infuriating. I would never stiff a server, but man, I was tempted to this time. I still tipped her. Food was good, I got what I paid for. But the service was terrible.
