Ale's Kitchen

This cozy little spot is a real hidden gem. What makes it stand out is the owners--they're incredibly welcoming and treat everyone like family. You can tell they really care about making sure you have a great time, and that same attitude shows in the staff, who are super friendly and on top of things.The food is really good, too--simple but done well. The space is a bit small, but it actually makes the place feel cozy and relaxed. Overall, it's the kind of place you almost don't want to tell everyone about, but once you go, you'll be back because of how good it feels to be there.

My gracious they were busy.... But service was still top notch and they had plenty of staff to service and turn tables. My boyfriend had the traditional breakfast. He realllly enjoyed the bacon and the pancake. I have the croissant breakfast sandwich, which I ate for two meals. It was reallllly yummy. I also like their coffee!!!

Midlothian is SO lucky to have this establishment. I remember the restaurant that was here before, and Ale's is such a huge upgrade for this community. I definitely want to thank the owners that have kept the food quality and service and pricing consistent for the several years that they have been open now. They recently added a back patio to their spot, because they fill up! I particularly like breakfast on the weekends, but their chicken fried steak is excellent. Nothing tastes like it came out of a can or the freezer. This is a restaurant we can take visitors and everyone goes home happy. The service is high schoolers as is typical in the area, but they do a great job here.

Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. The place was pretty busy but we were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was pleasant and our food came out quickly. For drinks, I ordered a mimosa and the hubby had a margarita. No complaints there.Hubby had never had fried pork chops so he ordered the breakfast option which came with 2 nice size chops plus eggs, home potatoes, and toast. He enjoyed his food and was knocked out when he got home from the heaviness of his meal. Lol.I wasn't as pleased with my French toast with berries, turkey bacon, home potatoes, and eggs. The French toast was burnt so I could taste the char in every bit. Also I should have opted out of the berries because they were drenched in a sauce that made the entire dish overly sweet. Syrup wasn't needed at all.Overall the place seems to be a local hangout spot. They have a bar plus tvs playing. There were a lot of flies in the place likely from the door opening and closing. Not sure if I'd go back here since I have experienced better brunch and breakfast at other places but we'll see.

Food was good and the service was even better. I know nothing about restaurant operations but watching as we sat near the kitchen sure looked like they had it down. Loved how the staff were cheerful and friendly.

Sunday mornings are busy but the service was fast and friendly. This is definitely a full bar & restaurant. They have an open kitchen so the noise level is high and there are TVs for sports. Their homemade biscuits are GREAT and the fried chicken was crispy & delicious too. Understanding they were very busy, the creamer packs for my coffee were given to me empty & used and the bathrooms were more reminiscent of a bar.

Oh yummy, we were meetings friends at Ale's for breakfast on a recent Saturday morning. The place was hopping. Fortunately, our friends arrived first and secured a table. We had to park WAY back behind the restaurant. There's isn't much available parking. We were greeted warmly as we came through the door.Ale's has an extensive menu, everything looked SO good. Our friend's ordered a breakfast burrito and Ale's Pancake Breakfast. my wife ordered a bacon and cheese omelet and I opted for the Florentino Benedict. Of course, we had coffee for all of us.Watching the trays of delectable breakfasts coming out of the kitchen we knew we were in for a treat. Even though the restaurant was almost full to capacity, service wasn't rushed. We had plenty of time to chat and get caught up on what's been going on.Our food was so delicious. That's one huge pancake on the Ale's Pancake Breakfast platter. My Florentino Benedict was very good. It could have used a bit more sauce but overall, it was a good breakfast entree. We had a great time and will return again soon when we're in the area.

We had intended to visit a different place but the line was out the door there (at 11:25 on a Sunday morning), so my daughter suggested Ale's as an alternative. When we arrived we saw a really large group waiting outside and thought we'd be in for a long wait, but they were a single group just waiting for tables to be combined, and the six of us (three adults and three kids) were seated within about five minutes. Our server was incredibly attentive and I am so sorry that I don't remember her name in order to single her out for praise. Between us all, we got migas with scrambled eggs; Eggs Benedict; pancakes/hash browns/bacon; and chicken strips with fries. My grandson's pancakes were huge and he couldn't quite finish the two of them. My migas were delicious and my only complaint was the heat of the jalapenos! Hubby's Eggs Benedict were great, and it was only after we were back home again that he realized that the hollandaise sauce had been omitted - and that's the only reason I didn't give this review five stars. But to be fair to the kitchen staff, they were truly slammed with that huge party seated just before us.The big screens around the interior were showing cute videos of animal encounters, and that entertained our grandkids - and us! - while we waited for our meals.Ale's is 45 minutes from where we live so we aren't likely to be regulars, but they made us very happy on the morning that we visited.

Been here a few times now, and I'd say it's pretty good food. I've had several of their dishes and I haven't had anything I didn't like. The staff are nice and provide good service. Overall I recommend this restaurant. They are good for family, friends, or just a solo diner.

This was my first time here and they did not disappoint. I got the French toast bites. They were definitely not bites but super good and you get more for your buck! I also had their spicy chorizo omelett, and they stuffed that omelett. I'm use to to restaurants being a little stingy when it comes to adding extra meat. My boyfriend had the Three Piggy skillet. lets just say the plate was cleaned in a matter of minute. Also, they do have a full bar as well for all my drinkers. Definitely will bring girls back to partake in the mimosas. The only complaint I have is the water. if you drink water get the bottle of water the water did not taste that great. Service was good and food was tasted fresh!
