Really enjoyed our dinner! We came in on the 4th of July, and appreciate that the place was open and staff provided great service when downtown Geneva was essentially closed and deserted. Our food was tasty and the music was set at a good level. Prices are fair. Looking forward to returning another time. read more

Ordered a Kentucky Burger, mid rare, which should be burger with cheese, smoked bacon, onions, and O asked for a side of BBQ sauce. Received a mid-well, dry , mushroom burger. No bacon, soggy fries. See pic. Called to get a correct order sent and was told they can't answer the phone. Hard pass to come back and order from this place. What has happened to this place? Too many other great options in St Charles/Geneva area read more

The best smoked foods in Geneva. Service is always great. The brisket and pulled pork are the best in Geneva. Great hand shaked cocktails. Nice beer selection including many local beers. read more

Geneva Ale House - Quality Has Really Dropped I've had this burger before and was impressed, but not this time. It said it came with bacon, yet there wasn't a trace of it anywhere. The bun was stale, the whole thing felt thrown together, and after already sending it back once, I wasn't about to wait again. The sweet potato fries were honestly the best part of the meal -- which says a lot. It's disappointing because Geneva Ale House used to be solid, but quality has definitely taken a dive. I'd skip this place and go to Barrel + Rye, Burger and Sushi, or Burger Social instead -- all much better options for a good burger in Geneva. read more

Wow I can't believe I hadn't been here yet! The staff were absolutely incredible - just genuine and kind. The beer selection is pretty solid with a good variety and an emphasis on local brews. I loved love the food!! The stuffed potato balls were very creative and the quesadilla will hands down bring me back. Can't wait till next time! read more

Stopped by for lunch. Ordered their Ribeye Steak Sandwich and the Ale House Burger. Both were very good and cooked perfectly. Inside you find dark wood trimmings and traditional bar interior. Service was good and attentive. I'd stopped by for a bite again if I'm in the area. read more

Ordered take out of chipotle BBQ chicken. Description "Chipotle BBQ grilled chicken breast served with fried brussel sprouts and house made slaw." What I received as the side was just French fries. The chicken and bbq sauce was at least really tasty. Also ordered a pressed Cubano sandwich and received a sandwich not pressed and little meat. Called immediately and was told a manager would call me tomorrow... That was days ago and still no call. read more

Service was good, food was not. There are plenty of other places to choose from to get lunch or dinner. I recommend picking some where else. Not trying to be harsh or negative, the food is really just not good. We had a party of 8 and not one person liked their food. Which I felt terrible because I picked the spot. We came here because Nemec Brothers was packed so I said let's try next door. They really need to make some adjustments to the menu and quality of food. read more

Tried this place, it's between 3.5 - 4. It was a bit hard to find, in front of Aurelio's and close to Gather Bakery. Stopped by for lunch, there were only a handful of other people there. The menu was reasonable but seemed pricey for what it was. Tried the Cuban and cheese curds. The cheese curds were a bit over fried and under cheesed. The bacon aioli was interesting! The sandwich was fresh, the ham was so so, but the pork was good. The garlic potato soup I wasn't crazy about but it was interesting. Parking in front of the restaurant. The interior was a bit dated, bar like. read more

The view over the river is amazing - it was too cold to sit outside but they do have outdoor seating

This place was wonderful, nice place to enjoy a game on tv or hang out with friends. The service was excellent and they were quick to get suggestions for those of us out of town. Nestled right in downtown Geneva, near many historic structures this place an excellent addition to the community. Good beer selection, even some traditional Monk inspired beers, food is good, all the burgers our group ordered a pretzel bun which was a nice touch. Will come back next time we are in town. Stay hunger folks! read more

I like their apple and brie grilled cheese! This is a great overflow spot if you get crowded out of Nobel or Stockholm's, but it's not my go-to. Definitely family friend but also has a solid beer list and full bar. read more

Had the ale burger, so great! Best burger in the area and service was great. Server was on top of it and took good care of me. read more

I'd say theyre either some of the best burgers I've had or very mediocre, there's no in between. That's the one thing I'd say against them. Sometimes I'm tempted to send it back, but it's just enough to eat, so it's a tough one. The prices have gone up. I think I have seen the great 4 star service that they have done and are able to do. The ambiance is great. They have an excellent selection of beer - most times! read more

Dined on Nov 10 and had the Reuben w tator tots. Delicious and very tender corned beef! Lots on the menu to try next time too!

If you're looking for Keto/clean and fresh options, order from the salad menu. Absolutely delicious with perfect portions! Service was fantastic, thanks Rosie! Highly recommend! read more

Went here yesterday for lunch. Great service. Very friendly. Relaxing environment. The burger was phenomenal. Cold beers. Parking was pretty easy. I'll definitely be back. read more

Service was zero of 10 and food was subpar because it took forever to get even a drink! I don't know why people rate it so high unless they're employees or owners. It's mediocre at best! We had a bartender who was responsible for all of the tables and we were overlooked most of the time we were there. She spent more time laughing and conversating with the people at the bar and gave zero attention to those of us at tables. read more

Service was good, but I didn't care for the food. I ordered a Shrimp Po' Boy with cajun fries. If you like dijon mustard, this sandwich is for you. For me, the amount of mustard was excessive and overpowered the sandwich. The cajun fries were not tossed properly. The kitchen placed a pile of standard fries on the plate and sprinkled dry seasoning on top of the fries so that only the top side of the top layer of fries had seasoning. My friend ordered the Ale House grilled cheese. There was not enough cheese on the sandwich to call it a grilled cheese; it was a bacon sandwich on toasted white bread with a bit of cheese. read more

We started our night with the Potato Kegs and Soft Pretzel bites as our appetizers. Kegs were flat out amazing, pretzel bites were like biting into little buttery, salty pillows of delight. Both were 10/10. My Campfire burger wasn't too bad; had way too much bbq sauce but was still enjoyable. Chili was bomb, with spice strong enough to punch you in the throat and scald your eyebrows clean off. read more

Friendly, quaint restaurant/bar with excellent food. Our party of 4 enjoyed fresh fried onion rings along with wine and craft beer. The onion rings were Delicious! The batter was light and onions very sweet! And served with a lovely sauce. We also enjoyed the chicken quesadilla, southwest chicken salad with jalapeño vinaigrette, Rueben Cobb salad with cucumber vinaigrette , and the steak sandwich with fries. Salads were so fresh and chicken is marinated for 36 hours! And the taste reflects the lengthy process! The quesadilla was loaded with fresh vegetables and chicken and so very good. All so delicious and generous portions. We had such an enjoyable meal. Chrissy, the owner, was so nice and friendly. We will be back on our next trip up to the area! read more

Great food and deep list of beers. Service is friendly and prompt. Usually the worst part of the visit is deciding which thing to get off the menu and which beers you want to try. read more

My husband and I were pretty disappointed with this restaurant. We were not impressed with the menu, and the food we ordered was just okay. I had the bruschetta and French onion soup. I thought there was too much balsamic dressing in the topping mixture. It was drowning out the fresh mozzarella and tomato. I also thought that the French onion soup had too many onions and bread and not enough broth. My husband had the Cubano sandwich with fries. He thought it was good, but wouldn't order again. We LOVE to support local restaurants, but most likely won't be back here unless it's only to try their drinks. read more

I can't speak highly enough about this place. I have been twice in the last week or so. The first time we arrive right after two giant parties so we were told food is taking way longer than usual. We stayed and were still given attentive service. The wait time was a non issue. The second we went, we also had our toddler with us. She was in a mood. We were that family. The server took it all in stride and even made a kiddy flight of milk and lemonade because our daughter was DISTRAUGHT over my husband having a beer flight. I only hope we weren't too disruptive to those around us. We did take her outside for a bit and she came back for her "flight" and Mac n cheese. We are new in town and look forward to many more meals shared. read more

Their seasonal ghost pepper chili is so good! I went in to try it based off someone sharing a photo of it. This chili is flavorful and has a nice smoked slow build up heat to it. I ordered a cup because I was going for dinner so I still had my Brie grilled cheese sandwich. However I plan to come in again soon and just order a bowl of this chili for my meal. Great service here, as always and good came out pretty quick too. My husband appreciated they had the Sunday night football games on too. read more

WHERE DO I BEGIN? OMG! OMG, where do I begin? We came here based on the Yelp reviews. My husband ordered the Po' Boy shrimp sandwich with fried thin crispy onion strings. He said it was very very very good. He wolfed it down in record time! I had the brisket sandwich with brie cheese. It was like chewing on a piece of leather. This was the toughest brisket sandwich I ever tasted. In fact, I took a bite and chewed, chewed and chewed and could not even break it down with my teeth. I spit it out into a napkin. I took a 2nd bite. It was the same thing. Our server was polite, kind and professional. He asked me if I wanted something else or did I want them to redo my sandwich. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and requested another brisket sandwich. There was no difference and the meat was still extremely tough. I could easily tell this brisket was not cooked in the oven for 12 hours. The brisket was still very difficult to break down. I gave it a shot in the hopes I would receive a tender melt-in-your mouth brisket. This was not the case, and it was a huge disappointment. My husband insisted on taking the other half of the sandwich home. I didn't want to take it, but he was persistent. He ate the sandwich when we arrived home. He said, "This meat is very, very tough." We live in the city. We have thousands of choices in terms fantastic restaurants. I have had many briskets in my lifetime, but I've never had a brisket as bland and tough as this one. It was pretty bad. My husband had the day off from work. He read the Yelp reviews. He said "let's take a drive to Geneva and try out this restaurant." We did. Never again. Thank you to our wonderful, kind and polite server. He was excellent and attentive but not overly attentive. read more

Tasty black forest turkey sandwich $10.99! The turkey, the pretzel bun, the bacon, melted cheese, and honey mustard were a delightful treat for my tummy! They have good ranch which I enjoyed on my salad. My husband enjoyed his campfire burger $14.99 as well. It's nice to be able to order grass fed beef, an additional $3.00! He also enjoyed a Melvin IPA $8.00 & Tyranena Oktober for $5.00 We'd return if in the area and heck yeah I'd order that turkey again- gobble gobble The restroom is a one-seater and was clean. read more

Really disappointed with the customer service. We waited for 20 minutes at our table without acknowledgement from a waiter. The hostess came to refill water twice but couldn't get anyone to take out order, despite there being several open tables on a moderately busy evening. Ended up walking out and choosing to take our business to a dining location in Batavia. read more

We have been here many times. The food is excellent. I can't speak to the booze, I'm not much of a drinker. The potato kegs are amazing. As are the pretzel bites and the cheese curds. Their French fries are the best I've ever had. They are salty and perfect. They have the best honey mustard too. I have had the turkey sandwich and the filet on sourdough. They are open later at night and now it's our go to. Service is great and the ambiance is awesome. It's a bar but it dosent feel bar-ish. It's great. 10/10! read more
