    Half eaten loaded potato soup on a Saturday night.
    Cheryl S.

    Great spot for some filling and good food. I was very impressed that the wings were not over-cooked. They were actually juicy, and I don't find that very often. The fully loaded potato soup was excellent and truly loaded with the bacon, etc. Loved it. And the pizza was good and very filling. With the other food, I probably should have gotten the thin crust pizza in retrospect, but the pizza was great! Had plenty to take home. The place is busy, but we were seated with the 3 of us right away. A band was to play - played a couple songs and stopped. Not sure why. But we had been there long enough and left.

    Brian was phenomenal! Waited 30 minutes to be seated, was seated way in the back, it's a big place with indoor and a patio as well. I ordered the hellyah chicken with French fries which by the way are $3 more, the fries she be included for a $15 sandwich,big disappointment on the sandwich , the menu said spicy it had ABSOLUTELY NO spice whatsoever it was just a plain chicken with a chipotle ranch at best . Although the chicken was a descent portion size sandwich. Also ordered the tenderloin with chips, also disappointed that the chips are just plain lays potato chips I can buy from Kroger, the tenderloin was also nothing special but it was big and they should add mayo on the side to be included. Overall not sure what the hype is as there are just as good if not better food options on Rockville rd.

    Host said 45 min wait and to find seat in bar area. There were no seats, so we walked back to the front and the other host said it'd be a 10 minute wait. Server nice, food good, no desserts, loud and busy. Got their famous wings

    With this place just opening in Avon, I wasn't surprised there was a wait when we arrived on Friday just before 6pm. We actually had a little over an hour wait before we were seated. It is huge inside with plenty of tables and TVs. Because it was so crowded, it was very difficult to have a conversation. And when the live band started at 8pm, it was even more challenging. Our server was good. She came to our table regularly and was quick to provide us with anything we needed. I had the Ale Panini and I subbed with fries which was a $3 charge... It was good, a little on the dry side. My friend got the Ale Hot Chicken sandwich which was huge! I will check out this place again in a month or two when the newness has died down a bit.

    Food: I was treated to an early birthday lunch today at the new location! I had the boneless Hermanaki wings and they were fresh and flavorful. I also had the loaded french fries. The portion size was more than I expected, but who's complaining?? I had enough wings and fries to bring home. Service: Our servers were attentive to our needs! Easygoing to speak with and our male server was getting trained and did a phenomenal job checking on us and if we needed anything without being overbearing. Ambiance: I loved the lunch hour traffic. Not too loud and not too crazy busy. Plenty of tvs to watch and I was able to enjoy my food and have great conversation. Looking forward to my next visit soon!

    Ale Emporium is amazing! It's the PERFECT addition to Avon! Just what we needed. The restaurant is huge and it's great that the bar/over 21 area is seat yourself. The menu has so many options for any tastebuds. The wings are the best! The pizza is tasty and love all the crust choices. The servers are friendly and do a great job! It's the perfect place to watch the big game. I love that the carry out area has its own entrance and exit different from the restaurant main entrance. The appetizers are perfect to share or eat by yourself and have leftovers! Portion sizes for other entrees or sandwiches are huge and most of the time we need to-go boxes. We have only heard the live band once and it was fun.

    I met some friends here for an early dinner last week after work, about 4:30 PM. It was the perfect time to be seated with no wait! Even though the Ale's newest location is MASSIVE, everyone has been flocking to here to try out Avon's newest restaurant and it has been non-stop busy. They have been open a few weeks now, but later on as we were leaving there were lots of people waiting in the lobby to be seated. The parking lot is huge, with extra parking throughout the nearby businesses. Emmy's Pancake House is next door, so once they close for the day that opens up an additional section for parking. The bathrooms inside are spacious and clean. They also have a ton of large screens for watching sports, like all of the other locations. And just likr Greenwood and Fishers, Avon's location is family-friendly. They didn't have any drink specials while we were there, but our server told us that once it slows down a little bit (after Final Four) they'll start some drinks specials. I will preface this that I already love Ale Emporium and their hermanaki wings and have visited every location. My husband and I have been patiently waiting for the Avon to open the last few years and we tried stopping in the week prior and were told it was an hour and a half wait around peak dinner time, so I'll still be back again with him soon. Our server, Mandy, was so sweet and accommodating (one of my friends just had a baby and she brought over a holder for her car seat so she didn't have to be on the table, what this contraption is called I don't know because I don't have kids lol). She went over the menu with everyone who hadn't been there before, cocktails, liquor preferences, wing sizes, etc. Later on she even removed an appetizer off the bill of one of my friends who hadn't liked it. I ordered 2 tequila sodas, a small house salad with blue cheese, and a regular sized boneless hermanaki wing. Everything was absolutely delicious and a great price point. My friends all loved their food (besides that one appetizer) and drinks as well. It was really fun to catch up with everyone and the new Avon location was so convenient to meet at. Can't wait to come back and get some wings and drinks with my husband.

    I have only been here once sofar but it was a pretty good expierence. My group sat on the side closer to the Bar Proper. TV's galore everywhere including some that use the meshing tech so multiple TV's can be like a stadium screen. In the winter time thats probably great to add some heat. In the beginning of summer man it adds heat! So you might get a little sticky to your chair fyi. Super wide variety of beers on tap, bottle or can which is nice in an area with such diverse breweries. Our group just got a handful of appetizers all of which came out looking and tasting good. Staff was super nice and polite even in the chaos they were having to deal with. It was a pretty busy night and i think everyone in the tri-city area decided to show up ( right around Sat 6pm ) Also on the Bar side ( even tho there is not a true wall between sides ) they have live bands which i did not know cuz it suddenly got even louder than it already was. That was around 8pm. Would love to come back again and get a seat at the bar and chill half the night away.

    The service here was awesome, she was very attentive and quick to bring us our drinks and food. Also we loved the environment here - it's the perfect sports bar and overall spot to hang out. The wings were 10/10 as always. The key lime martini fell short - it wasn't as sweet as I thought, there were ice chunks in it (needed to be double strained), and could have had more Graham cracker on the rim. Would definitely come back and try some other drinks soon. I'm hoping they perfect this drink for summertime because it definitely has potential!

    Went there for the first time today. Pizza was good but the (to go) wings weren't the way we ordered so we were disappointed. Interior is nice and having a 21+ bar and side for families will be good for the area.

    I can't atest to the dining in options because I had a Carry out order. But the carry out service was good and reasonably quick. And their pizza is awesome as well as the potato skins. If you have never had it you should give it a try.

    This has always been my favorite sports bar in the Indy Metro area....the only problem was I had to drive all the way over to Castleton to get there. But Now I have one in my zipcode ! I was expecting there to be alot of hiccups since it was opening week but everything went smooth. I sat down - gave them my order - and received my order promptly and accurately. Food is standard bar fare except they really elevate the quality with good ingredients. Lots of beers and cocktails to choose from. Lots of TV's. Lots of space. They know how to handle big crowds. THose little chain sports bars in the area just got a big kick in the pants.

    Four stars. First time visitor. Arrived at 6pm and place and parking lot were packed. Greeter was friendly and said 50 minute wait or we could check our seats and tables at bars. We saw a high top table for four in bar area which worked great. Tons of tvs with sports and lots of neon signs. Great atmosphere! Place was packed but not loud good ambiance. Our waitress greeted us quickly and did a great job. I had the buffalo chicken wrap with grilled chicken and French fries as the said. Had ice tea to drink. Server was attentive and refilled our drinks. The buffalo chicken wrap www delicious and filling even though it wasn't huge. The fries were ho him and made me wish I had ordered a different item. Overall a good experience and we will be back. I felt the server did a great job and they were very busy but attentive. Left her a 25% tip.

I also dont think the exterior pictures on yelp are current since this location had 2 garage doors up front and there was smoking possible inside. If you are a smoker thats great for you! I am not but my wife is so finding this by accident was fun since they could smoke @ the table while watching football and not disappearing all the time to go outside haha! Overall it is pretty open inside with some dart machines i have never seen before by a different vendor which looked cool but also a couple normal Bullshooter ones. The appetizer we got were really good and great quanity for the price. Our waitress/bartender who was running the whole front did an excellent job keeping on top of everything. If you like sports and smoke you should go here. Hopefully that parking lot stuff gets taken care of. Ride share with a friend that has a small sedan!

A gob bunch in leaps with lots of bountiful interesting food choices here in 2026. I won't lie, the traffic is living in someone else's nightmare or a ground hog's day of a horror flick. Big YIKES. Very very congested. If only the Greenwood IN (USA) engineers would say heya fellas, how's about doing it this way, k?!?Tho the roundabout on Smith Valley/Old Merdian is a literal question mark octopus whatever as you approach it. All with zero ways out beforehand, Upon facing multiple options in a you know what show once you arrive for those options isn't as fun as one might think. Why folks become illiterate behind the wheel of a car is a thing I do try to avoid ;). Anywho...back to Ford's Garage in Avon. To suggest it was great is quite the understatement. I ordered not with DoorDash but called this establishment for my own peace of mindfulness. Bison Burger with fries. Ready in 15 minutes is what was told to me. WOW to Ford. I see now why Ford's are built FORD tough. It is toughfanfabulousawesome inside. Chevy who? For REAL. The ladies' room is where I'd love to camp. Seriously, the design/deco should be in all campsites. The recycling alone is where I felt the true grit of Ford's vision. Use what is available to stay feasible, why waste is how I felt while being in this restaurant. Thank you to you Yelp for being my go to & a bunches more to Ford. Back to the meal...since it was my lunch before a yoga class, I took my lunch to Carmel, IN (USA). As I'm trying my best to depict how juicy, tender, & zero what's that I'm chewing on in a typical hamburger wasn't a thing for me, simply won't suffice. It was still warm & freaking delicious. TBH, the standard of bison reminded me of a restaurant in Custard Park. SD (USA), Ford's prolly better. Why? Bc I ate this burger yesterday, Custard Park was last year ;). The fixings is what I found most delightful. Ford's bison burger is a perfect blend of deliciousness. Exactly crafted by a staple of our beautiful country, America...became inspiring to this Hoosier. I have the other half to look forward for today's lunch. Yippee! When you're in town or near mb Avon IN (ISA) to want something different...plus want a high protein meal, this place is worth the drive. Just watch your surroundings as construction is all over this area. Enjoy, Amy
