Hypothetically speaking, the Angry Elephant did not feel safe for Covid standards. Aside from that great bar

The manager is the sweetest and the Philly steak fries were so delish. Burgers were juicy and their toasted buns made it the best. Great place for food and drinks.

Always a great time here. I had the bison burger on a portabello mushroom cap, absolutely amazing! Bartenders always friendly with great service. Great art and political banter on the walls. Definitely worth a visit!

My husband and I are regulars here but tonight we got ignored for some reason. We were extremely disappointed. I sat at a table and no one came for quite some time. Then my husband got up to order at the bar and I watched him get ignored for 15–20 minutes. The bar was not busy at all and there were two people tending bar. Not sure what the problem was but when Tessa is bartending it’s never an issue.

The place was really great! I didnt eat any food but the mango margarita was amazing! They have more cool things here than in a traditional bar because they have giant tv projections of the sports you wanna watch along with a game room that has pool, darts, corn hole and arcade games! My favorite thing though was a jukebox machine thing that you could go to their website and request a song and it starts playing in the bar! Its a pretty cool place, its a little hidden though.

Love this place, my co-workers and I have been meeting up here after work and enjoy some good chats and some good food and of course the spirits are the best in a great atmosphere.

My husband thought this would be a great spot for a date night, but it quickly went south within 10 minutes of being there. While sitting at the bar looking at the menu and waiting on drinks, I felt something on my arm and noticed it was a roach. When I jumped back my husband had to keep another, different roach, from crawling on me. Needless to say we didnt stay, he paid for what drinks we did order (and not drink) and we left as quickly as possible. It seemed like a cool spot, but we wont be trying this spot ever again.

We have ordered delivery from here 3 times. Wings and burgers and salad and the fried egg things. The first 2 times we thought the will gs were very good. Tonight the sauce was cold and in the side. I called and was told that is how it always is to prevent them getting sogg . I explained that the first 2 times it was not that way but he wasnt having it. Told me I was wrong. The fried deviled eggs were literally like fried plastic, even the dog couldnt chew it! The onion rings are huge but hard as a rock. Burger is excellent, fries are good. Wings were good when tossed in the sauce. We order early because the restaurant nor Door Dash are busy so the food is fresh. Third time was not a charm. I am afraid there will not be a fourth

Second time tried coming here. First time they changed servers on us and didnt tell us or the new server.Second time I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich with onion rings. Chicken was supposed to be a half pound breast. It MIGHT have been a half pound before it was cut in half. Also only got 4 onion rings Sent it back and got back the other half of the breast and the same 4 onion rings and was told thats the best they can do.Will not return

Fairly disappointed today. The Roo is typically awesome vibe, great food, and great service. Stopped in for a New Years treat and was greeted promptly at the bar. I told the bartender I needed a menu for a carry out order. She didnt introduce herself so, when I was ready to order, rather than say, Hey, you! I waited for her and her coworker to stop staring at their phones to place my order. Mind you, there were fewer than 10 people in the entire facility at the time, but at least I did learn about the wedding the coworker attended until 2AM, as did everyone in the bar. I ultimately received my order, slightly undercooked, but manageable. The kicker to this minor service-related irritation was the handwritten signs taped to the above-bar screens saying, and Im paraphrasing, what is on the TV is what is on the TV, and it literally says, dont ask to change. What? This is a sports bar. When I was there, there were two bowl games occurring simultaneously (New Years Day) and they only had 2 of 3 screens on. And they were both showing...wait for it...the SAME GAME on the two screens! But, dont ask to change the TV. The staff is busy on their phones and the TV is very, very complicated. Maybe its no surprise they had such a low turnout today. I truly love the Roo and wont hesitate to return, thus the 4 stars for today, but come on, yall! I hope this is an isolated incident. Staff retraining appears to be a wise idea. I wouldnt hesitate to tell others to give you a try!

Since the construction on 281 its been really hard to find a good spot, but I like this place a lot. Its super chill on Sunday nights. Julia was great the entire night! Thank you so much for making the night fun!

How do you under cook French fries? Please, whoever is working your fryers tell them to cook the fries longer. I’ve had loads of fries, you can’t pass this for some “that’s the way it’s..” mess either. Fries were horrible. Lol who messes up fries. THE EASIEST THING TO COOK IN A FRYER. Lol

Nice place. Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon after the 4th of July so it wasnt very busy. Bartender was very nice. They dont have pool tables there but the restaurant/bar next door is owned by the same person & it has a game room in the back. And you can take your drinks with you.

The bartenders did a good job making the drinks but theres not much to the place otherwise. If youre looking for a laid back place where its kinda quiet and the location is off of the highway then you might like this place.

29 patrons and 1 woman who was bartender / waitress / food runner / bus for the entire place.After 14 minutes (yes, I counted) I was acknowledged. I ordered a beer and asked for a towel because the bar top was wet. Never got a towel.When she came with my can of beer, she gave me a glass with lip prints. I paid cash and left.Sad part is that I was scouting the bar for a work group of 7 who will be in SA next week. I told them that Roo isnt a good fit if you have any expectations.

Good place to grab a drink. Their hot dogs are amazing. Never been to a place that has the selection they do...I recommend the Ben Franklin dog. Its basically a Philly cheese steak on top of a hot dog.

Love this place! We live down the street so were regulars partially for that reason but the food is really good and has a decent selection for a bar. Beer/alcohol specials are pretty solid and selection is great. Outdoor patio for smokers, indoor games (bags, darts, etc.) and more space than has ever been filled. Good for kids during the day and great for adults at night! All around excellent place.

Decent beer selection. Average service. Horrible food. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich, the chicken was chewy and burnt (part of it was actually black). My wife got the pulled pork sandwich, the pork was way over cooked and nearly inedible. Seemed like it had been heated and reheated a few times. Good place to watch a game and have a beer but eat before coming here.

Disappointed. Burger was bland. Lettuce tasted rotten. Onion rings tasted and looked like they had been fried in old oil.You know what everyone? I’m still mad!! I’m upset!!! My husband and I and I took about two bites and threw our burgers away! I literally threw my burger in disgust.

Review №82

This place has a lot of potential: historical decor, creative menu, and a fun ambiance. However, the follow through wasnt there as the service was lacking. It took about 15 minutes for someone to take our order, and from what we could tell, they were greatly under-staffed. The food was warm in some places and cold in others, so it was obviously made in a rush and wasnt heated thoroughly. Its worth a try because if its uniqueness, but dont expect it to be a quick trip.We also tried ordering from here through Uber Eats and we found out our order was rejected an hour later.

Review №85

99% of the food was good - had Philly fries, a patty melt, the fried burger with sausage gravy, and an Aussie pie. Unfortunately the Aussie pie was the weak link, waitress took it off our bill and said shes only had one order of the pie that wasnt burnt, cold, or both (ours was both). Other than that the food was amazing, the service very attentive, and its a comfortable casual spot.
