The burger was very well cooked and juicy! The fries were a little plain, but I like the size and the texture of them. The blackberry mocktail was very good, but I wish there was less ice The old fashioned wasn't bad The pumpkin ale sycamore was good! It barely tasted like alcohol read more

Can't believe this, x small wings We ask the server if that's the regular size and her answer was depends of where they came from. And we totally agree but there is a common sense to not sell this kind of food to the clients! We ask in a really nice way to show the wings to the manager she never show up and just give us 10off This is not about money is about costumer service read more

If there's one beer on draft that isn't available, my husband will always order it! We did that again here, reliably well. Service was prompt enough after we were seated but our server wasn't very certain of what was available on draft and what was not. It took a few trips to the bar to land on available selections. Drink specials and better options were note recommended, but our server was very friendly. Menu is the same as it has been for years, could use a revamp honestly. The nachos were good, but not a standout in any way. The fried chicken salad had plentiful toppings but the chicken was overcooked and hard to cut through with a butter knife. We'd go back for beers and likely eat elsewhere in the area with more memorable menu options of better quality. It's a sports bar, and lots of TVs were on but we were not there during any major games. It was a mix of sport highlights and news. Weather was not good enough for the outdoor sections to even be considered for opening. read more

Tried this place more then once because we like the open air bar in the nice weather. Food was very mediocre to terrible and wait forever. By all the bad reviews, can't believe this place is still open. Never again. Sorry we really wanted to like it. Needs a complete overhaul. read more

Thought the food was mediocre-- until my husband got severe food poisoning after eating the 30 day aged steak. Also, the beers just don't taste right. After reading that they don't clean their taps, it makes sense now. Such a shame considering their great location and beautiful views. read more

Hannah at the outside bar was amazing! One of the best bartender experiences! Friendly, attentive and always smiling!

Slow night, plenty of workers standing around on their phones but nobody came to our table. I tried to order from the bar but ran into the same issue. Bartender was more involved in her phone than the customers. A guy I sat next to said he was having terrible service so he was leaving and wished me luck. Bartender didn't even open my beer, just left it on the mix tray and walked off. One and done for me. read more

Food wasn't great. Service was slow. It felt like a waste of money. Also the drinks were too sweet.

The front desk staff at our hotel recommended this place for lunch and we weren't disappointed. I had the fish and chips and my companion had the burger. Everything came out hot and fresh. Our drinks were strong and our server was nice. No complaints! read more

Bartender Mckayla not sure how she spells her name is adorable. She got a couple of drinks for my husband but then she was off work. Ricky started to wait on us. He was great. My wings were over cooked I ate 1 then gave up. He offered to take them off our bill. We're not from here so won't be back of course. Thankfully hotel serves food so I'll eat there. read more

Just ok sports bar that does serve food late. Service and availability of drinks needs improvement. The chili was extremely spicy and I like spice but the worst part was it was just barely warm. I told the server and she laughed. My husband had wings which were not bad but nothing to get excited about. read more

A roadtrip headed north trying to get ahead of that nasty hurricane. But we had to stop to get a bite to eat. Unfortunately, it was pretty late an a lot of places were either closed or closing soon. Food was decent with large portions. Typical fare of this type of establishment. Service was good as our waitress checked on us periodically. Lots of TVs to stay up on the games. Definite sports bar feel. read more

When there are not a lot of places to have food after 900pm other than fast food,we decided this would be a good choice since we just arrived in the Charlotte area. Located in the Kingsley area,the Carolina Ale House is basically glorified bar food without any local brews ! Having never been to the Carolinas I wanted to try some local beers . My wife wanted a gluten free beer which was listed on their drink menu but the server said they did not have any. She then ordered a cider and they didn't have that either. The server said their menu was out of date...what? She settled on a Carolina Hurricane which was ok but a lot of ice. We ordered their house made chili and Carolina BBQ wings. The chili was a good portion but extremely hot as in Spicey not temperature. Maybe a few crackers on the side would have been nice. The wings were small but crispy and juicy but they tasted like regular store brought BBQ sauce..nothing special. The server (Elizabeth ) never came back to ask us if we wanted more drinks or how our food was. We did flag her down to pay our bill and for some reason she gave us 2 bills..one for drinks and one for food. Very odd plus they charge a 2pct. Fee to use a credit card. Not a lot but would have been nice to know. If you want bar food late at night or watch a sports event..give them a try but don't expect anything special. read more

Typed out a nasty 3 paragraph review on this place and it was removed instantly,I'll keep it short then I would highly suggest going somewhere else this place is not good, ordered 1 bowl of French onion soup and received 2 bowls of the worst tasting soup I have ever had, however I was informed the female bathroom handy cap stall is missing the handy cap door which is absolutely terrible I should contact the ada maybe I will maybe I won't, all food was not so Bueno, see ya never read more

Waitress was very nice, but that's about it. Bunch of beer was out on tap, food was inedible. Never again.

Service was absolutely terrible! I had to ask the host for service after my boyfriend and I sat for over 15 minutes waiting to be served. The hostess was very apologetic and helped as much as she could. Our server then brought our drinks out and mine was half full. The food was okay. I definitely wouldn't recommend this location. read more

Worst Experience ever. My husband and I both worked in F&B for over 10 years. This was hands down the worst service we've ever had. We called ahead for a soccer team reservation of 25. Not only did it take over 2 hours for our girls to get their food, it was all wrong. All of that would have been forgiven if anyone seemed to care at all to make it right. We were told by several employees that they've been dead all winter and this was their first busy night. One employee told us she'd been there all day, as if that was justification. We asked several times for a manager...never saw one. I could go on, but it's just too much. I would not dine here. Ever. read more

The food was delicious; the service provided by Cat was superb; and the outside seating area offered a beautiful view of the water! I plan to return to this location! read more

Ale House is a miss for me! We were greeted and seated with no problems. We waited at the table for 30mins and no server came to take our order. The restaurant wasn't chaotic where one could compromise with the lack of service, and the table in front of us had service. The host that seated us kept walking by, but never paused to let us know what was going on. TERRIBLE SERVICE AND DEFINITELY NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS. My husband wanted to leave after 15mins of NO acknowledgment, but I wanted to give them the benefit of doubt that someone would show up, but after 30mins NO ONE ever did. WE LEFT. I would definitely not recommend Carolina Ale House in FM. read more

It was only a 3 because the bartender was great. The manager was leaning against the bar eating a cup cake with her hands and licking her fingers. By the time I left she was biting her nails behind the bar. I dont know any trailer trash but I wouldn't be surprised if she was leaving a trail of trash behind her. read more

Honestly probably one of the most pleasant experiences I've had in a fort mill restaurant in quite some time. Beginning with the service from our server Carley! The food came out promptly and answered every question I had. Her energy and demeanor felt like it made the food even taste better. After our dinner I decided to stay back and have a couple drinks at the bar. Best decision thus far. The bartender was named Alexis and an absolutely mesmerizing individual with the hospitality and spunk that makes me never want to visit another bar again. The drinks were on point. She constantly checked on not only myself but everyone around me. Not once did I see an empty glass in any of the at least 25 other customers at the bar. Not only was she an absolute dream to look at but to be as personable as she was is unreal. This is someone who I'd specifically come back to this bar religiously just because she's working. And lastly the most impressive was the management constantly checking in on our experience tonight. I think her name was Ciara. What a great team of individuals to make this one of my most desirable places to eat and drink in all of South Carolina! read more

Jordan was great, fast service and efficient! Love their happy hour as well, can't beat it.

This must be a money-laundering business as the food IMHO has always been so-so, service poor and most of the best staff has left for better establishments. A mystery to me how they stay in business. Never see anybody there. Location is phenomenal and sad to not have a better run sports bar in this great area. Praying new owners some day take over and fix this! read more

We there Friday with family. My patty melt burger was good. The French onion soup was probably the worst I have ever had. The broth was simply water. It had no flavor whatsoever. I don't think we will go back. read more

We figured out after being seated that a/c wasn't working ~ 90+ temp today! I feel we should have been informed as soon as we walked in the door so could decide to stay or leave. (When leaving, I mentioned this to a waitress who said they were hot too!). Seated at a table that eventually the sun came streaming in the window, and soon discovered the shade we were trying to pull down was missing from the roller. Salmon was undercooked, the rest of our group was pretty much done eating by the time that salmon was replaced, yet the place was pretty empty. Waiter was serving tables on opposite sides of the room, didn't come by often enough, & said he also had to wash dishes! Took forever to pay as we each had to wait our turn with the handheld device. Only positive was the food ~ except for the salmon, other dinners were correct & served hot. Also not informed of additional fee to use credit card. I see now why the 2.4 rating and promise we won't be back. Too bad as this place used to be good. read more

It was a great experience, my waiter Jordan was so sweet! Even with her having some tables, she balanced well between them all. She advocated VERY well about the cheesecake desert, and also my spinach dip and Cajun shrimp pasta was delishhhh! Thank you again Jordan!! read more

Beer lines need cleaned. 3 of us ordered beers that tasted nothing like a Sierra Nevada pale ale or even a Coors light and a bud light: no carbonation at all. Expresso martini way too sweet no alcohol hardly. Really is a bad place to order any kind of drinks. Waitress was very pleasant though but when you are set up for failure you cannot please. read more

We got stuck in the CLT airport due to storms. We got a hotel nearby and were happy Carolinas was still open and delivering. We soon regretted it. We ordered the chicken breast tenders and that is what they looked like when I opened the box. We also ordered a buffalo chicken wrap which we did not receive a greasy soggy inedible "chicken" quesadilla that had no chicken and a diet Dr Pepper...for which we received a regular Dr. Pepper. Be careful from ordering delivery from here as nothing was on point that night after an extremely exhausting day. read more

Super clean and great atmosphere! Also we had a great server Kristin who was very attentive!

Someone in our group picked this place, this was on a early Saturday afternoon and the parking situation was awful. Once parked we all walked in. We had a party of 18. We sat outside which overlooks the pond. Our waitress had to deal with us and she took it on the chin. Absolutely she was on point. The appetizers to the food were delicious. The ambiance was cool, bunch of televisions inside and out. read more

I've lost count of how many times I swore I'd never come back -- but every few years I try again hoping it's improved. It hasn't. Management is awful, the beer always tastes off, and the food or bill is never right. Don't waste your time or your money here. read more

I was shocked at the amount of people out on a random Wednesday night. Maybe that means I need to get out more? We were seated quickly near the bar area. Maggie, our server, was attentive and super kind. The Southern LIT is a must! I'm not sure how I downed two but I did. We ordered fried pickles but cancelled the order when they hadn't arrived before our meal. I chose the burrito and substituted the chicken for shrimp. Another excellent choice. The shrimp were large and flavorful; I wish there had been a few more in there. The vegetable rice was surprisingly very good. My first chip was stale so I got worried. Thankfully, it was just that one. read more

This was the first time in my life where I ate at a Pub and my food made it out before my drinks. We were half way through eating when our appetizer showed up and to make things worse the food was cold. read more

They need to work in their food presentation, portion balance for each item that is included in the serving and cleanliness.

I was definitely skeptical about going here. We started with the fired trickles and they were good and the pickles were also thick. The drink were good but STRONG. I was only able to drink two. I had a Moscow mule and strawberry basil drink without the basil. The philly was good but I also wished that the peppers and onions were cooked more. The description said caramelized and the veggies were not. They were more raw than anything. The service was okay not the best. The area I was in was where the servers "ate" while on the clock and multiple times our server visited the table while he probably could have been dealing with his guest. read more

My wife and I were looking for a place to stop for lunch on our trip from St. George South Carolina to Princeton West Virginia. We had some family to see in Charlotte so we decided to stop here for a quick lunch. Let's break it down into the good and the not so good. The good, food and beverage! Southern fried chicken salad and chicken tacos were absolutely delicious! The two beers I had were terrific both being local. Not so good, it took over an hour. So much for a quick lunch. Another not so good was their beer list and the menu had absolutely nothing to do with the beers actually on tap! 60% correlation? Not really sure all I know is I asked for a couple of different beers and the bartender cut me to the chase and let us know that the beer menu was not reflective in the least. That said the restaurant was clean and well decorated. We were driving a Class C RV and towing a car. Our 50 foot length made finding a parking spot rather difficult. But we overcame! read more

Ok food for a bar. I had the general tso bowl....not bad. 3 stars The service is bad though, attitude and not attentive. Don't let them leave because they won't come back. Late taking the order, slap down food, slap down the check. Bummer Btw, the tv over the bar goes out about every 60 seconds which isn't great during the playoffs. Luckily there are tons of others if you turn around ( while eating). read more

They surprisingly have great salmon. I didn't expect a crispy skinned, grilled/roasted to perfection salmon. I honestly thought it'd be basic and like it had been baked. Very nice! My husband always gets burgers/sandwiches. I think the first time we went in Kingsley, he had a burger called the Epic Burger. He asked the waiter, "is it epic?!?" and he assured him it was. He loved it. It was almost too big but he finished it like a champ. There's a patio and a huge bar. Tons of tvs like BWW. We like to walk around before and after. I personally only like this location. read more
