    Hellyah chicken with ff
    Roxanne B.

    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!

    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Patricia N.

    Krista was our waitress and she was perfect with the ordering and waitressing. We tried the smoked Gouda pizza at a friend's suggestion on our pepperoni and mushroom pizza and it was so great. The wings were a tad overcooked but still edible. Overall it was a good dining experience.

    Additional seating in a patio type area that windows can be closed or open.

    3-13-26: first time dining at Ale Emporium. So many vehicles, knew it was full but IT's HUGE! Seated immediately, friendly server (Katy). Katy was very personable and efficient. Received our order, Chile appetizer was to die for, Fiesta Salad was superb. Great experience and will definitely be back. Expensive menu!

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!

They have their original location on 38th street that I think the dad still runs, but the Avon location that the son runs is a tad bit closer to us (and also the one that we can do delivery from), so we almost always order from the Avon location. The owner is almost always working when we go in and is so friendly. Always remembers your name/order and makes you feel welcomed. We have been going here for years and I always rave about them to my co-workers and friends. We discovered early on that you can do half red, half garlic sauce on the pizza, so we always order a supreme that way with 2 cups of ranch. The ranch is house-made and worth the extra $1 per cup. And that is coming from a girl whose family was a blue cheese household growing up.

    Everything was fine. I can't believe all of the one star reviews…read more I ordered ahead of time on the app and our food was ready when we got there. We ordered the meal for 2 I think. 20 boneless wing in up to four sauces, large fries and two dips. Plus there was an email coupon for 10 free wings. There wasn't much sauce on the wings, a bit dry. The fries were a bit overcooked. The restrooms were closed so that sucked when I needed to wash my hands after eating wings. Most of their business seemed to be Doordashers picking up food. We were the only customers eating in restaurant. At dinner time. We prefer this location over 10th Street. Maybe next time we should try the Plainfield location.

When I arrived, the location had no drinks available at all. i even compromised and was going to take a sweet tea, but the sweet tea was watered down. Despite this, they still gave me my order without the drink that I already paid for. What made this experience worse is that no solution was offered. I wasn't given a substitute, a partial refund, or any real assistance. I was essentially expected to accept less than what I paid for, which is unacceptable. When a business can't provide an item included in a combo, they should automatically refund or adjust the price. that didn't happen here; so i was scammed. This also felt careless and VERY unprofessional, and it left me feeling taken advantage of. this business scammed me. If you're ordering from this Wingstop, be aware that you may not receive everything you pay for, and customer service may not help resolve it. I wouldn't recommend coming to this location based on this experience.

It was delicious and nicely fruity and not too sweet. I've never drank before, but my boyfriend said it tasted like the original kind. They have a pretty extensive beer list here, and many of them are local choices. For appetizer, we got the couscous Mac and cheese balls. These are pretty close in nature to arancini, but with more cheese. My main course was their weekend dinner special, with prime rib accompanied by white cheddar mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. The prime rib was absolutely amazing, nice and tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were also great and are a very smooth consistency. For dessert, of course we had to get a pizookie! The triple chocolate delivers on its name. Served hot, it is well worth the wait after two courses of deliciousness. They have TVs around the bar area that have sports on. At the time, basketball and nascar had the most coverage. I wish they had the closed captioning on, since that makes it easier to tell what goes on if you're not right at the bar. The bathroom is kept clean there. My boyfriend and I are sure to come back on the weekday special going on, with select entrees and pizookies for $13 - what a deal! Hopefully this is sooner rather than later!
