    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

The food is consistent, fresh, & the customer service is excellent at all of their locations. My go to pizza order is always the hand tossed, Garlic sauce, Chicken, & chopped jalapeños. Warning- if you try this pizza you will love it and so will all your friends. The combination is so flavorful, with the garlic sauce it's not spicy at all, even my grandma loves this pizza! Our second favorite is definitely the bbq chicken pizza, plenty of sauce & chicken. All of their pizzas are very filling, evenly spread toppings. Inside the store they have 6-8 tables, always a movie playing, great for families, and feels like home! Lastly, The house made ranch dressing deserves an honorable mention, I think the pizza is great as it is but the ranch is actually quite nice for dipping.

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.

They had the doors open to the outside which gave it a fun, lively atmosphere. There were games like a basketball hoop, scooters for the kids, Connect Four, and cornhole, which added to the experience. TVs were everywhere, and with the Final Four game on, it made the vibe even better with music playing throughout the patio. Our server, Dajiah, was friendly and gave great recommendations, which we appreciated. For a bigger crowd, she was on it. For drinks, I had the Pineapple Smash (crown whiskey and double shot) and it was very good, definitely one of my favorites. I also tried the Blackberry Smash, which was just as good. My husband ordered a Blue Moon since they didn't have Mango Cart. He later tried to order a whiskey sour but ended up with a whiskey bound, which he didn't care for, though I thought it was decent. We started with the garlic knots appetizer with cheese and marinara, and those were good. For my meal, I had the salmon, which normally comes with rice and another side, but I swapped for a side salad and broccoli. I really enjoyed my salmon and broccoli. I got turned off from my salad because of one small issue. There was a hair in my side salad, but they handled it. They took it back immediately after I informed our server, remade it, and our server also offered to remove it from the bill, which I appreciated. My husband got the smash burger and fries, he said it was really good. It was a great time with good food, fun energy, and a lively patio setup. Definitely a spot for good vibes and accommodating to a larger crowd.
