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.

I've ordered takeout from Ale House in the past, so this was my first eat-in there. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, which isn't spoiled by the too-loud din caused by a lack of ceilings that seems to be trendy these days.
That made having conversations much more pleasant. We showed up for weekend brunch and it was delicious. The wait staff helpfully split our orders in half, and served them that way so we could each try both. We split the Banana praline French toast and Breakfast BLT. The only complaint was that the sausage had no crisp to the outside at all.
The place is definitely busier during the week, but it was a great choice for weekend breakfast. Try the fried green tomatoes!

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.

I stopped by this place by chance because the place I wanted to go, Texas Roadhouse, had over an hour long wait. this place was close by with no wait, so I ended up going here instead. The food was pretty good, but it was priced too high, in my opinion. Ambiance wise, they have a great sports bar setting with huge screens and a large bar area. Service was also good. I'd say this is a high-end bar with good food. Just be prepared to pay higher for that high-end experience.
