After shopping at Crabtree Mall this place was a hidden gem. Crabtree Ale House is literally located right down the stairs from the food court. They have a full bar with a great selection if beers. They have a decent menu they offered gyros, large baked potatoes stuffed with different meats, cheeses, or vegetables something like that. I am definitely ordering one the next time I come here. Instead I had their fish and chips. Fresh cod fish battered perfectly. It was really crispy crunchy plus the fish was meaty it was so obvious that it didn't just come out of the freezer. Their chicken sandwich was also delicious. It's perfect if you like a soft hero bread with fresh perfectly grilled juicy chicken topped with cheese. Their burgers were fantastic. Their food was really fresh. Everything was delicious. read more

Me and my mother came to eat today it had a nice atmosphere but terrible food and weak drinks we got the bottom of the fry bag and the "lamb" gyro was dry and overcooked and probably days old the fire house burger had way to much jalapeños on it and the raw onions burned and hurt my mouth and the food is over priced me and my mother left in discussed of what we just encountered and the service was kinda odd but nothing more. -Semaj read more

I was very surprised and impressed with food. This was my 1st visit, the smell of wood fired grill drew me in for lunch. You know me always ready for good food surprise. The meal was cooked and seasoned very well, moist breast and sides were very complimentary. The atmosphere is welcoming, great conversations at bar and its minutes from home its will become tops on my quick local spots. read more

Relaxed atmosphere, bartender made two delicious cosmopolitans. Shrimp and fries were good but not outstanding. The restaurant needs to update their closing times on Yelp. read more

$20 for a salad that was a side salad at best is ridiculous. Wouldn't go back there again.

Service was great !!! Food was amazing and huge portions! Highly recommend checking this place out ! And cold draft craft beers!

Outstanding burgers ! Decent wings and a fabulous lamb burger . Nice selection of beers .

If you are looking for lunch or dinner to take a break from shopping with a good beer selection and bar food Crabtree Ale House is your spot! This is also fantastic if you were forced to visit the mall, you can watch sports and drink beer while you wait. We enjoyed both the food and service. I recommend both menu items that we ordered, the chicken philly wrap and lamb gyro sandwich. My only complaint was that the draft beers were a tad overpriced with most pints ranging from $6-$7. Make sure you check out the specials though. Everyday there is $3 mystery bottles and $5 select drafts. read more

I went there today and was treated so terribly by the hostess - she was unfriendly, unsmiling, and looked like she just rolled out of bed to get to work. I needed to use the restroom. She told me it was for customers only. It wasn't just that I couldn't use their restroom (the place was empty, btw) -it was her rude attitude about it. As she let me know I couldn't use it, she moved from behind the hostess desk to stand in front of me like she was going to physically block me from entering! SO. WEIRD. I told her that I know it's not her rule and that she's just doing her job but the policy is off putting and could she pass that along to her manager. She literally stared at me and didn't respond. Her look was pretty much "F-you, lady". So rude. The world has enough mean people in it. And the mall is filled with good places to eat. Why take your business somewhere where the meanies work? read more

Very glad they are able to operate during Covid. The bartender Chris was able to choose our beers and chose wonderfully! The cheese burger fries were amazing! Wish they had these back home. read more

This place is surprisingly good! The burgers had great taste, service was prompt and courteous and food reasonably priced. I'll be back to try something else. Lots of variety on the menu too. read more

Saturday afternoon at the mall with my daughter and we didn't want to eat at the food court. We decided to try the Ale House. I ordered the ale house burger and it was tasty but average.Y daughter liked her Gyro. My drink tasted watered down and as if they forgot to add alcohol. All in all I think I would eat there again if at the mall. read more

Disappointed. Order accuracy is goin to be their downfall I believe. If you can not get the order correct at a time when restaurants are struggling to stay afloat...good luck. Ordered a pizza with pepperoni jalapeños and mushrooms. No jalapeños on the pizza when it was delivered. Not the worst thing, but they were kind enough to come back and bring an extra side to my job. So I was then fairly happy. Also ordered a Caesar salad and decided to add olives. Never checked this until many hours later when I was ready to eat it. But of course, no olives either. Tasted good, but will not be a repeat customer. The small things do matter read more

Went for the trivia which is ok could be shorter time wise started to get a little board. If you are there to drink beer for a few hours then it's perfect for you. Food was good I had the chicken wrap tasted great up charge to change the fries they do tell you that so if you are looking for a healthy replacement you pay extra. My husband had the gyro platter it was not enough food he then ordered a pizza which was very good especially if you like garlic. Service was very good. read more

Lunch outside on a warm sunny day, perfect spot! Had the Buffalo Chicken Salad. The chicken was grilled then tossed in buffalo sauce, a top mixed lettuce. Cherry tomatoes, red onions and cucumbers for garnish. The husband got a burger. Oops, don't recall the name, but he said it was better than he expected. He really liked the garlic aioli on the burger, came with fries. Never been here, but would return when we're in Raleigh. read more

Pretty happy with with this place overall. Our server was on point and very attentive. I ordered the lamb gyro, it was definitely one of the better ones I have had in the area. I'm always looking for a good gyro. read more

COVID-19. So...support local and support small. Not sure how local or small this place is, cuz I think it's in the mall, lol. But i ordered delivery via DoorDash. Order was on time and still warm. I ordered the lamb gyro and that was a good ass gyro. It came with fries, but to be honest, they were over salted. Other than that, I enjoyed my sandwich. read more

Great food! Wonderful service.... horrible owners unfortunately. If you can't treat your staff with at lest simple curacy and respect you should not run a business. Boycott... which sucks cause the food is good, oh well read more

This is one of the best sports bars you can go to too they have the best food and best service and boii can the cook cook. Everything tastes homemade. Give this place a try. You will not regret it at all. If I can give them a 10 star, I will.. read more

Solid place to stop at Crabtree Valley Mall for a sit-down meal if you don't have the time for the production that is Kanki Steak and Sushi House but want something a little more than a quick trip to the food court. Took my Mom here after an evening spent at Macy's picking up some Lancome products. The servers were super friendly as well and she was impressed with them. :) read more

Awesome place to eels and watch the games. The staff recommended the lamb gyro and it did not disappoint. Home made tzatziki sauce opinion and tomato and the pitaa bread was soft and gooey!!! The fries were perfect. The waitstaff was extra friendly and they also have a bar with plenty of beer on tap! Bonus: deep fried cheesecake! read more

Went here for dinner last night with a friend...wow! This is a hidden gem. First off, Jordan our waitress is a rockstar, ask to sit in her section if she's working. Second, the food was awesome! Best burger I've had in a while. Could have only been better if they came with tater tots, but the onion rings made up for it. Finally, the owner is active both on the restaurant floor and in the kitchen. Have to take care of both sides of the house to have a good business. Eat here, you won't be disappointed. read more

Buffalo chicken nachos were fantastic. Pretty much licked the plate clean. Service was great, our waitress came often with refills..solid quick and painless date night! read more

would rate much better, but last few times experience, I have to say the food is way too salty. my entire family was finding this same experience. if they could fix the oversalting issue, I would eat there frequently! read more

I've passed by this restaurant many times while going the Panera across the hall and never thought about trying it out. It always seems to be pretty empty but the reviews made me want to go in today and I was very pleased. The staff was really nice and accommodating and the food was awesome. We got a half margarita and half pepperoni/basil pizza that was amazing - their sauce had the perfect amount of sweetness and the pepperoni and basil tasted so fresh. Their boneless chicken wings have a really nice breading as well. I definitely want to go back and try more things on the menu. It was way better than Carolina Ale House in my opinion. It is kind of hidden so hopefully the location isn't too much of an issue for them in the future like it has been for restaurants that have been there in the past. If you're at Crabtree definitely try this place! read more

First time here today for my football game. Plenty of big screens for the games, great service (Danielle, I think her name was - sorry if I'm mistaken), she was super friendly & on point. She made a great margarita, and the burger was amazing. I'll be back! read more

We had a great time at Crabtree Ale House this week. We decided to attend their Thursday night Trivia (7 pm). The trivia was run by an enthusiastic, friendly host and was very fun. We would prefer if it was run a little faster but overall the questions were good and the host was amazing! During trivia, we ordered several drinks and entrees. I especially enjoyed their lamb gyro and flavorful roasted vegetables. I also tried their $3 mystery beer which ended up being a tasty amber ale. They have numerous other menu items and beers to choose from as well. I loved how we were able to try a small sample of some of the beers before we purchased them to ensure we would like them. We would want to return just for this aspect. Our server (I believe her name was Sabrina) was amazing! She was friendly, attentive and always smiling. It seemed like she had a lot of tables to cover but she was always visiting our table to remove empty dishes, refill our drinks, or see if we needed anything. read more

Had a experience at this ale house. The first was great, the food was good, and the drinks were on point. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly. The salad was delicious and hit the spot. Had the Bloody Mary and it was made with the right ingredients and spices to make me coming back for more! read more

We have only been here twice but both times we were served pretty quickly as it was not super busy. They have a decent drink selection, which the drinks are very good. We ordered an assortment of their wings and they were delicious! read more

It's tough for places to do delivery wings well for some reason. Ale house has done the second best job of the places I've tried. They would get 5 stars if they followed the directions on the orders better, but when on occasion, I go to pick them up they usually seem slammed, so i imagine they may be rushed. The best wings award goes to Heavenly Buffaloes. Good for ale house that they are close by so I choose them more often. read more

It's always a gamble to eat at a restaurant in a shopping area, usually too commercial, but we were shopping and starving. I absolutely loved the gyro platter! The staff was quick and efficient, fun sports bar atmosphere, and food was fresh and super tasty. Will visit again! Should have taken a picture. read more

I was part of a group having a luncheon meeting and our server handled everyone exceptionally well. Lots of salads but I had the lamb gyro with a small Greek salad--very good. They have a huge draft beer list covering all style choices. I would definitely go back. read more

Nice spot to grab a quick bite when your completely over drive-through food. Boy do they make a great Greek Pizza!! It was fresh, filling, and super tasty! My wife pushed her burger to the side and ate my pizza instead lol. The cheeseburger was not bad, but the fries were bland. We tossed them. Just have a beer and share the Greek Pizza with a friend or loved one..It's sure to please. read more

Horrible service. Incompetent wait staff. She was pleasant enough but because we arrived about an hour to close everything was rushed, our order was wrong, and more than 30 minutes before the place closed we were asked to pay the bill. Wasn't a pleasant experience at all- and we were accused of shorting the bill when she just didn't count properly. Decent food, albeit cold. I get wanting to go home, but service shouldn't lack because of it. read more

My family had a great meal here! The wings were terrific, and my kids enjoyed cheeseburgers and fries they ordered off the kids menu. Great beer selection. But the thing that really made our evening was the outstanding service. Our server, Caitlyn, was amazing -- she was friendly, fun, attentive, and she completely charmed our kids. Would happily go back again anytime! read more
