Carolina Ale House – Summerville

We stopped in for dinner on our way to our hotel & the food was so good! Our server Chloe was awesome, she did a really good job! We did have to wait to for a bit for our food but they were probably short staffed. The wait was worth it for how good the food was.

I'm being generous with 3 stars. First time ordering from here and I placed a to go order for the blue cheese buffalo chips. There's no photo of what they look like on the online menu so I wasn't sure what to expect but I definitely think something was missing. The description says a blue cheese sauce along with blue cheese crumbles and there was definitely no sauce and there wasn't much blue cheese crumbles. I'm a big cheese fan so that's the reason why I ordered this - was disappointed as far as not a lot of blue cheese - no blue cheese sauce, not even like a blue cheese dressing and I waited upfront for a little while for the host to come back and then she told me to go to the bar to pick up my to go order. I actually came about 10 minutes earlier than the online order said they would be ready and it was sitting there cold - I didn't get a "your food os ready" alert. The ambience inside was very cool, perfect sports bar vibe. Unfortunately the appetizer was disappointing - they didn't even chop the chicken well so the chicken to chip ratio was way off. Tasted OK.

I went to Carolina Ale House a while back when my son was in school. I enjoyed it, so while in Summerville Saturday, I decided to try them again. I’m happy I went. Even though it has a sports bar feel, it also has a family friendly vibe. I went alone and enjoyed the experience. The football game kept me occupied. My server’s name was Taylor. She was very attentive and accommodating. As a former server, I always appreciate great service! I selected the try 2 combo - 1/2 rack of ribs with fried shrimp. It comes with Cole slaw and fries, but I substituted a Caesar salad for the slaw for a $2 up charge. I also had a domestic beer (Miller Lite). My bill without the tip was less than $30. I will definitely be going back with and without company. Sometimes you need some “me” time!

This was my first time to Carolina Ale House! I must say that I was very pleased with my experience here! Our waitress was really nice and optimistic! Then the food was amazing! The fried wings, cheesburger, and fries tasted so good!

Our male waiter was so nice and attentive to our needs. The food was excellent as usual. I had the cheese curds (love them) broccoli, pub friends, (hot and crispy, aged ribeye (med. rare) was cooked perfect and seasoned well! Keep up the great service and preparation of the food. Consistency in food and service is valuable to returning customers. I did not take pictures unfortunately.
