Carolina Ale House

Been here several times. A good place to have drinks, eat appetizers and watch the game. For a full meal, not so much. The food is OK, but not great.  The wait staff is friendly, but have almost always gotten a part of our order wrong.  I don't know if that's our bad luck, or a systemic problem. I'll go there to have a few brews, but I will look elsewhere for lunch or dinner.

Food is okay. Great selection of beer. Restaurant is the loudest I have ever been in. I even had trouble orders g because the waitress couldn't hear me.

I've got to go with the 5 on this...for several reasons.

Was just needing some dinner, I realized as the night was going on. The CAH is right down from my hotel. Came in, and as I sat at the bar, the bar staff was very nice and accommodating right off the bat.

Ordered up some of their dry rub wings...which came recommended here on yelp...and they were a nice departure from the usual dry(and I mean dry) rub wings that I run across every so often. Really good flavor.

The BBQ French dip sandwich creation was good, but I felt that a little side of horseradish mayo or something with a kick was needed.

What really got me, though, was as I sat listening to the conversations that the bartenders were having with the guests. Genuine, caring and accommodating through and through. Willing to make alterations from the menu, thanked and acknowledged at every opportunity. Really took care of the patrons sitting at the bar.

Major, major props to whomever instilled that sense of ownership and pride of service! They really do "get it" and it shows in the service they provide. Thanks to Justin, Courtney and the third bartender.(sorry, didn't catch her name, but she's a brunette with some nice ink on her legs, and a brow peircing or two)

Thanks again! I'm here for a couple nights, and a return visit is definitely on the books!
