The food and beer are great, lots of variety and flavors. The service was subpar, don't expect the best from the servers on staff. My server along with 2 others, were more occupied with eating and laughing with each other than earning a tip. While we were waiting for drinks and food (sitting on the warming racks) we could see the staff hanging out in the kitchen.

Came here for Trivia Night last night. I think that’s every Tuesday at 7:30 pm. That was fun, even being close to last place the entire two hours.
The Ale House is really nice. It was packed at least in part due to Trivia Night but we just had a feeling that it’s a popular place to be. TVs everywhere with sports (and trivia) all around you. Not sure if there were any bad seats.
The waitstaff was wonderful. Our food and drinks all came out quickly as we ordered with refills constantly coming our way.
I think our only gripe is the food. Keeping in mind that we only had two things, both the Spinach Artichoke Dip app and the Mac n Cheese dinner were just not that tasty. Not bad but not that good.
We’ll definitely be back as we just liked the atmosphere. And we’ll try other menu items and hope/assume they’re better.

Went in the middle of the day on a wednesday. The food was good and the server came too quickly after we sat down to ask for our orders. After we received our food that was the last time we saw our server. She never came back for water refills and only came around for the check.

This is a very nice and casual place. The ambience is great for most occasions including a girls/guys night, date or family night. The menu has great variety of options to choose from and the choices are not too overwhelming.
I came here for brunch with a friend. We ordered the bottomless mimosas for $20 each, chicken and waffles, and steak and eggs. All the food was delicious and we had decent portions, except I wish I had more potatoes with my steak and eggs. My friend and I sat outside and enjoyed their patio seating. Although it was hot outside, the umbrellas kept us semi-cool. 😅
The service was great; and I would definitely return. I would love to return for happy hour.
