We stopped in for drinks after a night at a dry wedding. We sat at the bar and Mike was our bartender. He was very attentive and cracking jokes with us all night. If you've been to one Carolina ale house, you've been to them all in my opinion. They all look the same in my opinion. It wasn't very busy but I'm sure it gets that way when school is in and sports are going on. read more

Stopped in for a bit. Great parking with indoor/ outdoor bars with tvs. Food was so so ... kind of like an Applebees. Drinks were mediocre really but fairly priced. Has two full size pool tables and darts/ pinball. Tables need maintenance they kept swallowing the cue balls and needed opening by staff. The dumped a lot of water on the floor during kitchen clean up which could be dangerous toward the end of the night. read more

Service was very welcoming and friendly! The food was great too! Their spinach, artichoke, and cheese dip was a perfect 10/10. The ambiance was just right as well. As someone looking for a place to eat out late at night, this spot was perfect, and if you're lucky, you'll find some lady on the aux cord who knows how to set the vibe just right. read more

Carolina Ale House - Hibachi Steak & Shrimp Bowl: Just Steak - American Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

You can't really go wrong with any Carolina Ale House bc you have plenty to choose from. Upon arriving we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server, Ella came over soon after and was very pleasant, knowledgeable and willing to help us. Ella was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. I wanted a blueberry lemonade mocktail and she didn't waste any time speaking with the bartender and made it happen. Food was delicious and fresh. The only minor complaint was the nachos. Although they were good, they were lacking chicken and cheese. Chicken nachos is our go to bc the portions are plentiful and we have plenty to go around. Other than that we had a very pleasant experience and Ella made it possible. She made sure to check on us every opportunity she had. If you're dining at this location, ask for Ella!! read more

Carolina Ale House - Chipotle Bacon Gravy Meatloaf with fried onions. - American Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

We stopped in to have some apps and a drink. We love that we can watch the game(s) and still have a conversation. I got the strawberry basil drink which was good but very sweet. He got a bottled beer. I ordered the bowl of chili with a side of sour cream. Unfortunately my chili was cold. Eli was our waitress and was very accommodating. She took it back no question. My guy got the French onion soup and the chicken nachos. Both were adequate but not something we'd order again. The chicken did not look fresh or appetizing. We would definitely go back because Eli was excellent and the drinks were good. And it's a fun place to watch the games. read more

A girlfriend and I decided to use our Attractions Book coupons here one sunny warm day. We ate out on the patio which was great. We had the canjun shrimp pasta which was a huge dish (my friend took leftovers home), and I had the steak frites. Both were well cooked and filling. The service was great- our waitress made sure our waters were refilled and that we everything we needed. Good experience. read more

What a fantastic experience! My cousin and I decided to pop in around 11pm and were promptly shown to our table. Our server, Eli, was absolutely wonderful. To start off, we tried the Chicken Quesadilla which we rated a 7 out of 10, followed by the 12 Wings with half garlic Parmesan and half hot honey also rated a 7 out of 10, and the 10 Zingers with the same sauce combination which we rated an 8 out of 10. The hot honey sauce was definitely the superior choice, and the zingers provided better value as well. read more

We stopped in again at Carolina Ale House, 317 College Rd, Wilmington, for dinner this weekend. The battered Chicken Breast Tenders served with BBQ sauce, and the beer-battered fries superb as always. The Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad with avocado, roasted corn salad, tomatos, hard-boiled egg, smoked bacon, blue cheese crumbles, fresh and delicious per usual. The beer list always has national favorites with several locals too. I went with another Bill's Brewing dark this time. But what always elevates this CAH is Eli. Our server yet again this go round, she is always warm, expert at the menu, attentive, and supports those around her. Eli makes the visit everytime memorable. We'll be back. For sure. And we'll be asking for Eli. read more

We ordered online through the website for delivery which apparently goes through door dash. The delivery driver kept us updated that he was waiting on our food when he got there which was over 30 minutes after we ordered and then he waited another 30 which threw off other deliveries. Then when food finally arrived 2 hours later (part of this was the on delivery drivers part) everything was cold and there wasn't any chicken on the grilled chicken salad and the sauce was missing on my daughter's order. Can not comment on whether the hot food was good or not since it was all cold and soggy by the time it got to us. read more

My husband and I are veterans. We went to Carolina Ale House today for their Veterans Day special - the half rack of ribs meal. We like Carolina Ale House and have had good meals in the past. Of course it was very busy, so service could have been better. But the ribs - inedible! BBQ ribs should be pull apart tender. We couldn't even cut the bones apart to eat them. It was like they hadn't been smoked at all, just threw them in the oven and slapped some BBQ sauce on them. The fries and Cole slaw were good. We paid for our drinks and left. Went to Mission BBQ and had a sandwich. Never again. read more

Disappointed and disgusted Carolina ale has gone sooooo down hill. I spend over $35 on a chicken wrap and 12 count wing and I found two not one piece of hair in my food and the wing size was smaller than a hamster you would think that what they were frying up. Used to be my favorite thing now I will NEVER come here again read more

Carolina Ale House - Not only was there MULTIPLE HAIRS in our Togo food, the wings were half the size a normal size. l NEVER eat here again. - American Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

The older guy bartender was on the spot. Quick to get a new drink while keeping the atmosphere happy with the customers. Even though he was rooting for the opposite team from many of the patrons. The food was not that great though. Burger was supposed to be medium rare. As you can see from the picture it was more well done then medium, let alone medium rare. I hate having to send food back. But the cooks need to work on there doneness of a burger. If they'd like I can order multiple burgers for free until they get it right! read more

We love the food- normally do DoorDash Dash. Stopped in for an Eagles game as we heard it was a local Eagles fan bar and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere! Big place and nice outside area. Good service. Good and drinks are good. read more

Brittney S is an AMAZING bartender! I've been coming here for years and shes always attentive and super friendly!

While the food and ambiance have Always been great, I want to give a shout out on service to their Management team. Especially their Newbie, Kyle. They always make time to check in with their customers, Especially later at night when most places, their Managers are MIA. KUDOS! read more

I've been here a few times and it seems like the service here is severely slow. It takes an awhile for a server to get to our table and whenever we needed anything we would have to wait at least 10 minutes. I got the 1/2 ribs and chicken and my food was fantastic, but the food of who else was at my table seemed to be sitting at the window for a bit and was cold. Our server was very nice and responded well to requests, but just took awhile to get service. read more

My wife's ribs were great. But my soup had definitely been frozen and then thawed the cream of broccoli was grainy. My house salad was loaded with brown and rotting lettuce. Service was slow we order and it took 30 minutes to get our food. It was 5:00 and the place was empty. This was our third and last attempt here. read more

Great server, Abby. Had grilled chicken Cobb salad. It was huge and delicious. Played sporting events on television.

Went today and had chicken tenders. Everything was very good and the service was excellent. The chicken tenders and french fries were very good as well as the slaw. All the food coming out to other tables looked good too, and I look forward to going back there soon. read more

Best Cobb Salad around!!! The chicken always tastes incredible, ranch is always top-notch. Bartender was attentive and friendly. read more

Oh man. The first time I went here was clearly a fluke. We went yesterday to watch the Canes game, and the service and the food and the atmosphere was so bad! Unlike a lot places right now, there wasn't a shortage of staff here, the issue seemed to be that none of them seemed to know how to do their job. The wings had the potential to be really good as they were fried perfectly but had no heat and no warmth. At all. And the four little carrot sticks were just useless. Why are places so stingy with the celery and the carrots???m Can bars please get rid of the projectors??? They are such bad quality that it's not even fun to watch the games on them. There are way better options now. I do like their huge outdoor area. They've done a great job creating that space. I also appreciate that they had the sound on during the game rather than music. It really makes a difference. read more

The place reminded me of like a college bar. Like the good old varsity jerseys have a place of their own here. The food is good and not that bad on price either. The bartenders this night were a good team . Very sharp read more

I was so disappointed tonight. My husband and I ordered wings (delivery via DoorDash). They are so tiny I cannot believe they serve these to their customers. I had to take a few pics to compare them against my hand and also a carrot we got in the same order. It's just sad. You pay good money to somewhere and you end up disappointed, it's not worth it. I'm just really disgusted and disappointed right now. Please stop serving people these. read more

The flounder fingers were very tasty and waaaay too much! Who knew flounders had fingers? Yummy! The fried wings - great. Waitstaff very friendly and helpful on the orders. Oh, the beer selection very broad. Glad we could taste a few before deciding. Nice to watch a baseball game that I can't see at home. Definitely recommend to all ages. read more

We love eating here! The food is always delicious and the staff is great! Sydney was our server and she made our experience so much fun!!

This was the worst experience I have ever had, we didn't even get our drinks for an hour after we entered the place. We got our checks before we even got our food, I would never recommend anyone go here read more

Completely dissatisfied with this establishment. They lie to your face I came in early to watch a Lions game with Baltimore. Two major first place teams for possible Super Bowl implications. I was told it would be in the main screen then it was NOWHERE. Then they put it on a small TV I have no doubt the manager is a Bills or Patriots fan. But they lied to me and will never get another F'ing dime from me. read more

We sat at the bar. Mike was our bartender. He is REAL, and he cared about the product. He was proactive in his service and he was very impressive. I compliment the kitchen for the PERFECT medium rare steak they cooked in which 99% was edible and amazing. In fact, I've never had a steak that had so little fat in my entire life! I recommend 100 percent for their interest in their customers as well as the quality of food. read more

The worst meal I have ever gotten in my entire MF life. It was so bad I had to throw it out to the feral cats and even they wouldn't touch it. I will never ever in my entire life. Go to this restaurant again if you go here you're in for some horrible, horrible, terrible disastrous food. read more

The service was very horrible waited nearly 30 minutes for our phone and the pasta was cold the fries was cold on all the plates total of three the server Ella never came back to see if we needed any refill till it was time for us to go so they need better customer service read more

Food has really gone down. The club sandwich had a odd taste. Bacon on the sandwich was raw. Really the cook could not tell the difference between cooked and raw bacon??!! Not sure I'll go back. read more

Went to this restaurant on a Sunday and the place was dirty. My wife ended up getting Salmonella from the food and was taken to the ER the next day. Folks at the restaurant and the district management were informed and we were pushed off to a Claims Agent who did nothing as well. Totally unsatisfactory and unprofessional with a lack of accountability. We will NEVER go to one of these again. read more

This place was ok. I had high hopes because the place smelled really good from the parking lot. We were seated and I asked for a high chair for my toddler. The hostess never came back. My husband has to track one down. Our waitress rushed us to order before we were ready. When we did order, it took our food forever to come out. Our waitress was also very absent. We saw the other tables get their food and the food did look very good. We got our food and once again it was just ok. I had the taco bowl salad and my husband had the cheeseburger. He was happy with his and my salad was nice and fresh. I ordered my kids a cheese pizza and received a pepperoni pizza that tasted just like a lunchable that was heated up. All in all, we stopped in here to have a quick lunch with my husband on his lunch break and it took a whole hour and it wasn't that busy and we got simple entrees. read more

I had an enjoyable time at Carolina Ale House. They have a sports bar vibe with lots of TVs that have various games on. The college crowd was definitely present, but my friend and I kept to ourselves in booth area and had a quiet dinner. I had the Frickles (fried pickles) and French Onion Soup. If I were a strictly practicing vegetarian, I would have had a really hard time finding something to eat here. The Frickles were good, but the breaded coating wasn't crispy. The soup was kinda watery and barely had any bread in it. I asked for more croutons, and the server brought me seasoned croutons, which made it weird. They did have some rotating drafts, but were out of the one that I wanted. The $4 draft and import deal on Wednesday nights is great. Overall, it was good and not great. read more

We had the server named Brady, the worst one here! If you come here make sure to ask to not have her as your server! All she does is touch her hair and give food out she never checked on us at all and she was not friendly when we had to ask for things. Then all of a sudden the manager Sherry came over and was very rude and acted as if we were the problem when all we wanted was a water refill and maybe a sauce or two. Brady clearly told everyone some crazy story so we got stares for the rest of meal we got many glares! Then we had a new server Abbie and she was very nice a very good server who deserved the whole tip! Brady doesn't deserve even 1 dollar. The food was good except the meals were brought out separately and took a long time for each one to come out. Also one meal looked like the chef just through like a lil bowl of rice in and a tiny chicken on top. The salad took longest for some reason. read more

This place is great for groups and sports lovers. I came here with a group of friends to watch the championship game and surprisingly it wasn't too crowded. I order the lemon raspberry sangria which was very light and slightly sweet. I also tried the chicken sliders as an appetizer which includes 3 sliders with pickles and ranch. I opted for the chipotle ranch it really set them off! When we visited, we were served by Taylor and she provided phenomenal service. Even though she was busy with other tables, she checked in regularly and provided items as needed. It's always great when you get good food AND good service. read more
