Arooga's - Howell

As I sat down, Dawn looked at me as if I'd just woken her up. I said thank you, but she didn’t respond at all! Dawn and the other blonde bartender clearly don’t want to be in customer service. If that's the case, they should find a different job. I will definitely not be returning to Aruba's in Howell.

Surprising amount of vegan options! I love going somewhere and having more choices than a veggie burger or salad.

The best restaurant in town! The food is consistently hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious.

Food was buttcheeks. my sons play doh tasted better than that burger. not even gordon ramsey could save this place. 0/3 yummies will NOT be returning and do not recommend.

Went to go there for lunch today at around 1:15. There was not a worker to be found. The couple in front of us were chatting with my elderly mother, they were saying how there should at least be a chime on the door to alert staff that people are coming in. Waited about 6-7 minutes...Then a third group comes in. So my mom yells out. Hello?! Anyone here? Okay, a tiny bit obnoxious, but she 's almost 80 so what can you do? A woman suddenly comes to the front and doesn 't apologize for the wait or anything, no smile...just looks at the first couple and says, Two? So my mom (who isn 't playing with a full deck these day) says, no, there are more of us. This woman, who left us all waiting way too long in the first place, who hadn 't actually bothered to greet or even acknowledge us, looks up at my 77 year old 5 foot tall 90 pound white haired mother AND ROLLS HER EYES DIRECTLY AT HER. My entire family have ordered from here regularly since they opened the Howell location, but they just lost us as customers. There 's rude and then there 's ridiculous...that was ridiculous.Applebees sat us right away and everyone greeted us with smiles.
