Carolina Ale House is a great restaurant to pop in for food or to spend a couple of hours there watching the game. The food & drink menus have a large variety of delicious options. There's plenty of seating and even pool tables available to enjoy.

I recently went to this location for the first time, to host a comedy show there. They have a separate, enclosed patio area with its own bar, along with an open dining room and bar there, too. Our show was in the patio area, so we wouldn't disturb diners who weren't attending the show. The servers were very attentive and helpful. The food and drink I had was all served at exactly the right temperature. I enjoyed fried cheese curds, with an excellent sweet/sour sauce, along with fried pickles. I also had some of the soft pretzel, it was delicious. This is a reliable spot to stop and have a quick lunch, or enjoy dinner and a show.

This place was great! We went on Monday night for the singo around 7 and it was so fun. I would highly recommend checking this place out. On top of that, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

I've visited this restaurant 3 times in the last month while being in town for a work project. The food was good (best pretzel sticks I've ever had), the beer was great, but the servers were truly excellent! Personable, attentive, fun; they made us feel right at home.. Carolina Ale House is lucky to have them. Tara S, Jacqueline, and Maddie are the best!

Review is based off of service. We received excellent service from Tony as we sat at the bar. Great atmosphere and any game you want to watch on. The spinach dip is to die for, so delicious. However, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich is not it. It 100% is not a “Nashville” style.... More like a buffalo. The fried chicken Alfredo does not have any flavor, very bland, but filled with onions and the taste of onions overpowers the entree.

Great ribs! Friendly staff and wonderful management. Great place for a really nice meal or have the whole club show up for a special event or football party. This location and management is very open and accommodating for many events. The food is Really good

We were in TN for a few days and decided to stop here. The food was great and our waitress was so friendly! I'd recommend stopping here if you're in town.

The girls and I met for dinner and had a great time! Arya did a fantastic job! He was fun and took great care of us. Drinks filled, food was good, and he checked back just the right amount. Made our dinner better and we'll definitely be back.
