Probably one of my favorite chain restaurants when I'm in Orlando. The food is not gourmet, but there's something for everyone. There are TV's everywhere so it's great to watch a game. I really like the outdoor seating. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. The servers are friendly.
Review Source:Great pick for a Friday night dinner, I was visiting in town and a family member suggested we all go try this place, no one had been before! The pitches of beer were so reasonably priced! I got a Cobb salad and it was really good! The TVs all over are a nice touch, we asked for the one near our table to be turned to the hockey game and within minutes it was! The outside patio really adds a lot! I love sitting outside for dinner on vacation. My one complaint is that people can smoke anywhere, I guess in Florida there are no smoking rules. I'm used to going out to eat and not worrying about having smoke in your face. Maybe offering two different areas on the patio would be nice so non smokers can enjoy the patio!
Review Source:Average - right down the middle. I hadn't been here for a long time - long enough for them to put in a patio area and increase the number of menu items including their "zingers" (strips of fried chicken tossed in your choice of several sauces - generally buffalo type sauces).
We went for a lunch with friends. I had the zinger salad and was treated to exactly what I expected. My companions enjoyed the grilled mahi sandwich, a tossed salad, and a cheeseburger. No one complained but no one raved. The service was pretty good.
It's a decent option for drinks and appetizers or a casual, no surprises, meal. I imagine the patio is for smokers which means it's pretty much off limits for non-smokers.
Parking can get difficult in the evening.
I suppose it's my own fault, but still disappointing. First I should say that the hostess and the bartender were both very friendly and the ambiance was nice. I ordered a Cobb salad without chicken/extra shrimp instead. I'm a pescetarian (I don't eat meat except for fish). The salad came and was covered in crumbled bacon. I am not super picky, so I picked most of the bacon off and ate the rest. I was already back at my hotel otherwise I'd have asked for them to remake it for me. I guess I just figure people should kind of assume you might be a vegetarian if you say "no chicken". But you know what assuming does... I'll just have to be more careful in the future.
Review Source:In my time as a Yelper, I have given as many positive reviews as I can, but I feel like this review is finally necessary. Â Ale House is one of my husband's favorite places to eat, but unfortunately I have had several bad experiences with this location.
I personally have been to the Ale House on Kirkman and Vineland several times for work lunches. Â I don't think we've had less than a two hour lunch. Â I will cut them some slack - the party size is usually between 6-12 people, but I have been to plenty of other restaurants in the area that have gotten us in and out in under an hour. Â My assumption is this is a function of them not having enough staff.
In addition to the slow service, this location also strikes out on getting the orders right. Â We have sent food back to the kitchen because it is the wrong order completely or is over or under cooked. Â I recall two separate occasions where someone's order took exceptionally long to come out of the kitchen. Â We do enjoy the food when they get it right, but when your entire party has finished eating and you still haven't received your food, that is a problem.
It's probably a good thing that they serve you waters in a gigantic cup because I'm not so sure the staff would be able to refill a normal sized cup fast enough.
We will visit other Ale House's in the future, just not this location.
Decent service is about all I can say that is positive about this ren of the mill barfood place. I had chicken wings that tasted fatty an could have cooked about 5 minutes longer so that thy wouldn't have been so chewed. The onion rings rerelease big mushy and terrible. Edible only when drowned in a the reasonable sauce they were served with. My wife
characterized the fish taco's as mediocre. Â Maybe some of this chain's locations serve better food, but I'll never know myself.
Average food and very busy on a Saturday night. My rib-eye steak was over cooked to well done when I ordered it as med. rare. The waitress did take this off the bill and did offer to have another cooked. The menu is extensive and offers a wide variety of choices according to your desires. The waitress was very friendly and did check on the table regularly.
Review Source:I love this place especially my girl,Connie! I brought my friends from out town and this was their first time Orlando. they enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The best part was the service Connie was very prompt ,she suggested some drink special that my friends love , she suggested great dishes for all us to try and she very funny and got everything we needed even we were a little demanding. I will definitely recommend this place and everybody ask for Connie. She will take really good care of you.
Review Source:Let me start out by saying that I frequent the I-Drive store and love Ale House... This store not so much. I've been here a couple times and always get the feeling the bartenders only want to help you of you are a regular.
Tonight was no different. 2 bartenders on the bar when I sat down (older bald white guy and a black guy with dreads). They each walked by me 2 or 3 times before even acknowledging I was there. All this happening while there are maybe 8 people at the bar, the dining rooms half full and 3 managers huddle around the door to where their TV controls are.
I finally get my drink and have to actually flag the bartender down a few minutes later to get an app. Food comes, drinks empty and neither notices until I take the empty glass and push it out in front of me. I dont think if Im tipping someone I should constantly have to ask for things, a good server/bartender knows what their customers need.
Same thing happens for my entree and 2nd drink....
I sit and watch election results for a few then the worst part.... The bartender looks at me with my empty glass and actually asks 'u want another vodka red bull or what?' REALLY?? I'm sorry, I've worked in the industry in the past and if that's your attitude while bar tending maybe you need a new job...
Over all I'd say skip this store and go to one of their others that know how to treat people.
I have gone to three different Miller's Houses and they have all been equally mediocre.
 I have visited the Kirkman Ave House (behind Universal Studios, next to Starbucks), the one by the Florida Mall (on Orange Blossom Trail, near Toys 'R Us), and the one on John Young Pkwy (near Hunter's Creek).
 Three different locations of the same chain, and I've had several different plates as well.  There's not a single thing I can recommend.  Not one.  Well, that's not true.  The ambience is nice, but you are better off not ordering anything and just watching the TVs.
Maybe what one needs to do is to prep up their palates with alcohol to welcome the drastic lack of flavor in everything, but alas I never did try this method. Â I just went for the food. Â
 Why have I gone so much if it's never done anything for me? Well, one is very close to my workplace, so whenever the guys want to go for a quick lunch, unfortunately this restaurant's name comes up.  Then the other times were because of a large-value gift card which I would have preferred far more if it had been for Taco Bell or KFC.
So, these are the lackluster plates I somewhat remember:
- pork medallions...burnt and absolutely average, especially sad 'cause they say it's their house specialty
- fish 'n chips...flavorless fish, might as well be fried bubbles of air
- sweet tea...watered down...sad when I can get a better one for a buck at any McDonald's
- zingers...they are not necessarily bad, but I wouldn't go here just for that, no matter if this was the only place open in the middle of a storm
- pulled zinger sandwich (not pork, it's chicken)...we had to ask for more BBQ and even then it was largely unremarkable
- boiled bag of seafood (has a nicer name but I cannot remember)...I'd trade it whole for a can of spinach...at least that would make Popeye happier.
- I've also had other stuff that has failed to make any sort of pleasant remembrance...
 Listen. I don't have any personal vendetta against this chain, it's not like I have had horrible waiting service or argued with a manager or anything.  It's simply because the food is not good.
 I don't have a problem with the ambiance, or the music, or the TVs, or the staff, and I have never tried their bar (very casual drinker I am), but if you are going for the food, don't bother.  You can go pretty much anywhere and have a pretty good chance of getting better stuff for your money,
If you are around Kirkman's, you can eat healthier and cheaper at Sweet Tomatoes, or go to Applebee's or Friday's, or simply drive on International and go to Bahama Breeze.
If you are around the Hunter's Creek one, you can get cooler fare at Tijuana Flats that's right around there, there's also an Applebee's near or just drive down to The Loop mall and eat at Abuelo's or Chipotle.
If you are by the Florida Mall, you can go to Bucca di Beppo inside the mall or the Chili's facing Sandlake Road.
If not, I wish you better luck.
Our kickball team has been going here for a good 9 months now. Â We're always seated quickly & treated very well, especially since our large group has been too much for MANY local restaurants to handle (cough - look at my other reviews - cough). Â The $10.99 baby back ribs on Monday are my favorite! Â The ribs melt in your mouth & fall off the bone as well as any great BBQ you can mention. Â I would have never have expected that, but ordering it 10 times, they've nailed it 10 times. Â The chicken nachos are of course a big draw & yummy! Â The beer specials are spectacular every night & we drink cheap & well!
Review Source:First thing you do is order a captain jack shake. After that you've got a lot of reasonably priced good food options. Nothing is amazing but burgers, nachos, pork ossobuco, and salad are good and large portioned.
The draft beer selection is good for Orlando. I prefer more microbrews, but I didn't really find any period in Orlando so it's ok. Some really good happy hour and late night prices if you like Miller.
Service was good and lots of TVs playing sports is just another of the many pluses this place offers.
I am staying at the Fairfield and didn't want I pay for delivery so I ordered from here b/c it's just across the parking lot.
I got the 8oz filet and was very pleased. Â Of course of u are getting it to go the steam will make your fries go soggy so be careful. Â Fries, broccoli and steak were delicious!!
The only word I can think of that describes this place is...."mediocre".
We ordered the food "to-go" and it was delivered to our hotel room at the Hilton. I'm hoping that maybe the food was as unappealing as it was because we had to get it to-go and couldn't sit down and really enjoy it? False hope, maybe?
I ordered the "loaded cheese fries" as our appetizer and those were awful. No salt. No pepper. No flavoring whatsoever. The cheese was plain shredded cheese and only covered about half of the french fries. They were bland and the french fries were soggy. I was so disappointed.
We then ordered two "french onion soups" for my husband and he said that it was very rich and tasty but that the servings were very small, thus requiring two orders.
I had the chicken Caesar salad with ranch dressing. The salad was fresh but there was something "off" about the chicken. It tasted like it might have had freezer-burn, which makes me wonder...where exactly did those chicken pieces come from?
Delivery waitress was friendly but the prices for this place do NOT match up with the quality of the food. I'd suggest nixing the room service at the Doubletree and hitting up one of the better restaurants at Citywalk.
Oh Miller Ale House, you let me down.
I am totally a long time Ale House Fan... so naturally when deciding where to eat after a disappointing City Walk sunday adventure... we chose the Ale House and oh my.... deeelish!!!!
THE BEST ONION RINGS IVE EVVVVERRR HAD!!! I mean wow! the breading didn't slide off its was crispy and DDEEEELIIIISHOUS!
Friendly staff, reasonable prices... you cant go wrong fro a sports bar with great food!
I like eating outside on the patio at ale house, the bartenders are fun and friendly and do their best to make sure they can take care of everyone. I'm not a big drinker, but I met up with some friends to watch football. I order the seafood mac and cheese and it was great. The bread crumbs added a nice texture to the dish and It was more than I expected from a bar and grill like ale house. Probably one of my favorites from ale house, its just a hit or miss I guess when its a busy night.
Review Source:Mediocrity, thy name is Miller's Ale House.
If you like a good selection of beer, lots of screens showing sports, friendly wait staff, Miller's is the place for you.
If you like good food - or even okay food - stay away. I had... actually, I'm not sure what I had - it was that unforgettable but I remember most everyone at our table being underwhelmed (although burgers were the highly rated and did look really good). Â The manager who stopped by our table to check on our satisfaction seemed genuinely interested as we lied about how good the food was.
Summary: Great to watch sports and drink. Bad if you need to eat anything but a burger.
When something is bad--but the restaurant makes up for it brilliantly--do you chalk it up to a minor error and laud them for their customer service...
...or do you still report that there was an order slip marinated in salad dressing in your co-diner's steak salad?
I watched across the table as a companion discreetly tugged at a piece of offending lettuce, only to find that it was an order slip. Sure, he was comp'd his meal. Sure, he got another dish free... but... who wants to find freakin' paper in their salad?
I would commend their dedication to making our table happy after that (the manager was extraordinarily apologetic) had my own meal not been so awful.
Crab and shrimp quesadillas. Sounds good, right? No. No it's not.
Instead of, you know, just crab and shrimp in the quesadillas, they put some sort of crabby-shrimpy seafood salad with tons of creamy mayo sauce in between my virgin slices of tortilla. It's not that it tasted inedible, it was just *off*.
The seafood mac-and-cheese was okay. My co-diners enjoyed their burger buns...
This just isn't a place I'd ever visit by choice again.
While staying down for the weekend to visit Universal Orlando, my girl and I were looking for a place to grab some dinner and drinks, and we noticed this place right across from our hotel. We had been to a few other Ale House's, and generally have a pretty good time, so we decided to swing on in.
Was pretty surprised to see that this place was full, but not packed on a Friday night. We were able to get seated quickly, and we were off to a good start. Everything pretty much went downhill from there. Our server was a real nice guy, but seemed to be having a pretty bad night.
We ordered a few beers and an appetizer to start off our meal. It took a few minutes to get our beers, as the keg had to be changed. No problem, I will wait to get my delicious Sam Adams draft. After delivering our beers, he took our orders for the main meal.
About 10 minutes later, our food arrived. Unfortunately, our appetizer never did. I was pretty bummed, as I really wanted some cheese sticks, but I was about to dig into my spicy chicken sandwich, when I noticed my girlfriend's order was wrong. We flagged the waiter down, to which he apologized, and went back to the kitchen to right the order. After about 3 minutes (meaning her steak sandwich had been microwaved), he came back and forgot the dipping sauce on the side. Again. After flagging him down again, he quickly got the sauce, and when he came back, asked if we needed more beers, which we did.
We were starving, so we dug into our sandwiches, which turned out were very, very good (even the microwaved one!). The spicy chicken sandwich was very spicy, very tender, and very delicious. Fries were also yummy, and the meal was pretty filling. Our waiter soon returned with our beers, and my delight turned to horror as I discovered I was not drinking Sam Adams, but a Stella, which my girlfriend had ordered. D'oh! I was pretty upset, but figured our poor waiter had just had enough, and decided not to push the issue, and chugged it down.
We decided to end our meal, and head out to the bar area outside, so we could just drink and be taken care of by someone else. The bar area was great- bartenders were awesome, and I drank delicious Sam Adams draft all night long!
Overall- well, our server made NUMEROUS mistakes... however, he was a nice guy, and the managers did stop by our table to apologize and comp us some stuff. The food was pretty tasty, and I had a great time. I would've given this place two stars, but because I did end up having a great time, and a pretty decent meal, I rounded it up to 3. If you're in the area and looking for a place to stop in and have beers, wings, and watch some sports on the TV, the Ale House is a great place to go. Decent crowd with lots of different folks in here, but a great atmosphere, and lots of beers on tap. The service just seems to be sketchy here, so if you're stopping in to eat, good luck to you! Would definitely recommend over some of the other places in the area, however. If I'm staying in the same hotel next time, I probably will stop in again, but it will just be for drinks.
I stumbled on this place just before walking to a concert at nearby Hard Rock Live. Â I sat at the bar and ordered the grilled salmon. Â I got served immediately and the food was delicious. Â The salmon was moist and delicious w/o being overly heavy, salty or seasoned. Â The same with the veggies that came with it. Â They also have a nice selection of beer (probably a good thing for an "ale house") and the service was fast and friendly. Â It was Tuesday night, so it wasn't too insanely crowded. Â I also like the way the different servers kept calling me by name, "Tom, do you want another beer", "does everything taste okay, Tom", etc.
Review Source:Service: 5. Several different wait people came by to check on us throughout the meal, in addition to our friendly and attentive waitress.
Food: 2. Â Grouper sandwich and chicken fajitas were very bland. Â (And we ordered both "blackened"!) Â The pico de gallo that accompanied the fajitas was especially bad - mealy under ripe tomatoes and white onions. No cilantro. No lime. No heat at all. Â Ugh.
I'm a huge football fan and trying to find a televised Miami Dolphins game in Orlando can be a little bit of hassle. Since we usually get bumped for the Bucs and the Jaguars the Orlando Ale became my Knight in shining armor. Unfortunately the armor is starting to rust.
I live close to two different Ale Houses but my experiences are always the same. The upside: There's at least one television on for every major pro/college game during football and basketball season. And because the Ale House is so well known there's always a wide variety of patrons for people watching. The down side: considering a true fan stays for an entire game (3-4hrs) they don't offer great drink specials. Secondly, with as large as a menu as they offer I've never had the same thing twice. Not really a good thing when your favorite item on the menu is the French Onion soup.
Bottom like if you're looking for a hangout to root on your favorite team with friends the Ale House is a great pick but make sure you don't come hungry.
I was in ORL for a business trip and decided to give this place a try. Â Anything with "Ale" in its name must be good, right?
Well, it was. Â Great atmosphere and good food. Â I had the HOT wings with some garlic for an appetizer and they were decent. Â Not as hot as I'd like but they did the job. Â Then for the main dish; One time I had the fish tacos and the other time I had the cajun pasta. Â Both were decent.
Overall, I'd come here again to eat and drink some good beer. Â I could see this place getting a little wild on Football Sundays. Â It has a lot of TVs and they are always on sports.
Lakers vs Magic game was going on and we decided to have some wangs at the Ale House on this fine Sunday afternoon. What a great selection!
This was my first time eating here and I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I start craving their wings - back in ATL. Anyways, we ordered 50 wangs, half breaded and half naked with various dipping sauce. Sweet chili sauce, ranch dressing, garlic butter (straight to the heart) and some hot sauce.
The wangs came out sooo fresh and non greasy I was amazed! I usually don't like breaded wangs as much as the naked wings. I like to be able to taste the meat with the sauce, the bread sorta gets in the way of the two. But their breaded wangs were delicious!
I thought the sweet tea was a bit tooo sweet so we used alot of lemons that day since their cup size was like a 32 oz... Our waitress kept bringing out extra teas for everyone and we couldn't even finish the first cup! But that was very thoughtful of her. Â
The service was decent, the game was going on so it was a bit rowdy and maybe a bit chaotic since there was a guy running around the restaurant waving the Magic's flag... I'm assuming that they're not too fond of the Lakers...
Have you ever seen that movie "Waiting"?
I suddenly got paranoid after I ordered the steak and began thinking of that movie.
I mean, that scene where the guys in the kitchen did their thing on that bitchy customer's steak and let her eat it.
Gross.
I was cool to the sassy blonde waitress and all but...damn. I was paranoid.
My steak was not bad nevertheless. No pubes, spit or dandruff on it.
We also loved the HUGE chicken nachos. Pretty tasty.
My SWEET tea was always full.
Being here, I started to really dig Orlando. :)
I wouldn't mind coming back.
I love my Ale House. Â Any bar that's only a mile from my house can't be bad, but Ale House adds more happiness to my life with great drink specials (M-Th - 6.95 Miller Lite buckets anyone?) and cheap good food. Â They also have 5$ double Skyy vodka drinks. Â It's not my Grey Goose, but for 5$ I can deal.
The shrimp and crab quesadilla is off the hook and the southwest bistro steak salad is almost equally delish. Â Their tuna salad sandwich, while not quite perfect is the best I've found in Orlando thus far.
Bartender, I'll have one more!
At the suggestion of an Orlando-native friend, I've eaten here twice. Â It's definitely the local "hot spot" - the place is huge, and it's packed every night of the week. Â As the name implies, this sports bar has a wide variety of beers available.
They claim to be known for their "Zingers" - breaded boneless chicken wings with a variety of sauces. Â These are pretty good, but the concept isn't that unique any more.
Great place to catch up with a group of people or to watch the game. Â I was there yesterday (early October) and they had already sold about 25% of the bar stools for their Super Bowl party!
