Emerson's Ale House

As a local resident and business owner I'm happy to visit. Found it on Groupon and the food is tasty and the beers are refreshing. Not Your Father's Root Beer is THE best in town. The food occasionally has some issues (temperature or missing items) but generally it's a good spot. Thanks Emersons!

This is one of favorite little places to go get a beer and a burger.  The groupon is always an excellent money saver that seems to be available often. The beer selection is generally very strong and gives plenty of options for any pallet.  I've enjoyed the 2 burgers I've had there and their appetizers have been solid as well.  

The atmosphere is that of a regular dark bar so don't go looking for ambiance, but for what they advertise vs what you get, I think it was spot on.  Looking forward to my next flight of beers with the ever changing taps.  

A wonderful addition to the growing mt. prospect food culture.

Husband and I went with a Groupon for 2 beer flights and 2 burgers. Having never been here before, we read the reviews on here and were nervous about what kind of service we would receive but we both had a good time! We were greeted when walking in by the bartender and got a booth immediately. There were a few open tables overall and by the time we left the place was pretty full (and we went on a Wednesday evening betweeen 6:45-8ish). The place isn't huge by any means so be prepared for that.

Stephanie was our waitress and was very nice and knowledgable, when a few beers we selected for our flights were unavailable, she had suggestions that were similar to what we wanted to try. My husband was already well aware of the Root-Beer Beer they offer and was excited to try it. It was everything he hoped it would be and the sampler was the perfect size for the beer, a full glass may be too sweet.

We started with Mozzarella sticks which were good, could have been a little warmer but overall fine. We both ordered a Classic burger and I added avocado to mine. The pretzel roll was a great addition to the burgers and both of ours came out cooked correctly. Fries were good but I didn't get too many "whole" fries, more pieces of fries and we each got a nice size dill pickle spear.

Overall Emerson's is a nice place to get away from the chains if you want to grab a quick bite to eat. Not a huge menu but a nice sized one but really come here for their beer selection.
