Ale House Columbia

A couple weeks ago, we dropped in for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised. When we got to the parking lot, we saw a small-ish looking place that looked like it belongs on a pier somewhere. Korean tacos were really good, fish and chips were fantastic, beer selections were good. Our waitress was friendly, didn't complain about some modification requests, and checked on us enough without hovering. The place was much bigger inside than it appeared from the outside, and the layout leaves space between the tables, so you are not cramped together with people bu.ping the backs of your seats. Nice place, friendly people, if I am in the area again I will certainly stop back in.

I came here the other night for an event and the whole evening was overshadowed by a rude aggressive manager with a Napoleon complex.After eating my house salad and some of my main course, I started not feeling well and realized I should try to find a bathroom as soon as possible. I went to the restroom I had washed my hands at earlier and noticed it was taped off. I was informed it was closed. I stood there in shock wondering what I was supposed to do because I was not feeling well. A guy, who I later found out was one of the managers came and said that he could take me to their employee bathroom although it wasn't what he was supposed to do. I was gracious and quickly started to follow him as another joined us. I asked what were they going to do and how could they stay open and he informed me they actually had to close because they could not. When it was my turn to use the bathroom, I tried to wait it out because I felt like my stomach was uneasy. Soon after there was incessive banging on the door and loud shouting telling me to get out and being threatened that they were going to come in. I heard a female's voice who I later found out, was someone within my party telling the manager you're not going to go in there. The banging continued and I quickly started washing my hands and yelled such hoping all the commotion outside of the door would end. I exited the bathroom and saw two ladies who were with my group standing there waiting for me.I couldn't believe how rude the manager was being but knew I still was not feeling great so quickly went back to my seat. If I had been feeling better I would have advocated for myself but I was happy to know they were there stopping him from breaking in the bathroom while I was in there. How ridiculous!After being forced out of the bathroom I went to sit down at the table and realized that I still was not feeling good. I quickly got up and looked for a trash can at the bar and motioned to the bartender who then quickly threw me one. I didn't want to ruin anyone else's night just because I was feeling bad but being forced out of the bathroom and having to throw up in a trash can was highly insensitive and demeaning. I was so embarrassed to see staff come around and clean the floor up as well. Wow just wow!

Went to Ale House for brunch on a Saturday. Seating was quick and customer service was pretty good. Honestly, it's a good spot. If the food was hot, it would have been better. The food was decent but the drinks were terrible. Our party had iced tea with Lemon, along with the unlimited mimosas and bellinis to drink. A word... you have to remember that cold tea can be hard to sweeten, so pack your patience! Lol Also, the prosecco or champagne for the Mimosa was flat. That should be enough to say. If you know, you know. The early riser was decent. Food wasn't exactly hot, but everything was fine except the bacon. The bacon was so hard that it was almost inedible. I literally had the other party taste it just to confirm I wasn't crazy. When in doubt, choose the sausage. The Pancakes were also good. All in all, the place shows promise. Definitely worth a re-try.

Went here Saturday morning for brunch with my Sister. The atmosphere was nice. When we got there it had not gotten crowded. the restaurant was clean customer service was excellent. our waiter was a young man who was in training gave us excellent customer service he check in with us several times. I forgot his name but his trainer was Chelsea. The food was amazing I had the Banana Praline French Toast with a side of Sausage my sister had the Shrimp and Grits. everything was delicious. I do not have one complaint. if you are looking for a nice Brunch Spot on a Saturday or Sunday from 10-3 try them out the menu prices are very reasonable. Make a reservation I did the day before.

Had a great time at the Al House in Columbia , our server Brett was great. He was kind , patient, and attentive. He did get one of our orders wrong at first but he quickly fixed it and brought out the correct order right away. We were able to sit out on the patio which made our experience wonderful. Their patio is nice. Comfortable seating, nice bar area with huge tv screens . I love the yellow umbrella, it gives a signature appeal. The food was tasty, everyone enjoyed their meal, we laughed all night . It was truly a great time. I order the Thai Chili Shrimp as my meal. It comes fried but I asked for it grilled and they were able to accommodate me which was a plus. We will definitely keep this spot in our rotation.

I was off work. It was a Sunday. There was only one logical thing to do.... HEAD TO BRUNCH. I texted my friend Lavender and she recommended Ale House. When you come in, it gives family friendly, chill vibes. I was greeted immediately by the hosts (very welcoming). We decided to sit at the bar and watch football. The bartender was great... attentive but not too over baring. They have unlimited Mimosas for only $20!! So that's rust we got lol. For food I tried the Fried Green Tomatoes and the BABEC and my friend got the BLT. Both meals were pretty big portions and taste delicious. We ended up chatting with other bar guests and doing shots before calling it a day. If you're looking for a place that's not too crazy but a good time, I definitely recommend coming here

I won't really comment too much on the service, because the server seemed in the newer side. So it won't be included in my review. The ambiance of the restaurant is SO cute. Especially the outdoor dining, it felt like I was on vacation. There were a lot of bugs, but that's the thing about outdoor seating. Overall the decor was so nice.Now for the food. Oh my goodness. From the French Toast Bites, to the Apple Cider Donut Crush (which is a seasonal drink!!!) All was so good. I can't exactly remember how much I spent, but it was all very affordable. Especially the drinks. They offer bottomless mimosas FYI. I'll definitely be back for more on a solo date.

Two stars for the fish and Lager. Everything else is mediocre and over priced. I wouldn't return - way too many restaurants with flavorful menus.

We went with a large lax team competing in the area. They were able to accommodate our hungry crew after our last game. From the service, food & ambiance it was top notched. The waiter was swift and attentive with our orders. My dirty martini after a long day hit the spot! I ordered the salmon BLT and got a side salad instead of fries. The side salad was so large I had to take the rest home. My salmon BLT had a great balance of salmon to sandwich and the bacon was thick and crispy. My son was satisfied with his burger but felt his mac and cheese fell short. Overall we would come back again, they did a great job handling this large group!

Absolutely amazing bartender. I work at a bar and have never had such a great bartender. I unfortunately can remember his name. But he was awesome,.
