I truly find it hard to resist a brewery patio on a nice day. Pair that with a dog friendly attitude, easy access to hiking trails & I've been snared! I stopped by on a Monday. The patio was pretty empty when I arrived at the end of happy hour but quickly started to fill with post-work patrons. My server, Jesse, was great! Super attentive and friendly. I tried the Texas Heat Flatbread ($8 on Mondays) and the Tater Kegs. They were each very tasty. The portion sizes were large enough that I could box half of it up for later. You could easily split a flatbread and an app between two people. **Girlies, I know where you need to be "girl dinner & yapping" on a Monday night** The restaurant's proximity to the White Rock Lake trails is also a perk. I was able to take a quick post dinner walk along the water. I will definitely be coming back for a post-walk "rehydration" break at a later date. read more

Attended a wedding that was held here. Sat in the designated area, was presented a drink menu provided by the hosts. There were only a few items listed so we chose to purchase our own. Never got served one drink, appetizers were not distributed evenly and it was handled very poorly. I could not imagine how a large event booking could have an establishment treat guests so poorly. Avoid at all cost read more

Stopped by to see a band on their patio. Great Dallas weather patio option for those looking in this area. Patio had a nice stage and lots of picnic table seating. Inside had a nice large bar area and TVs. Menu looked to have something for everyone. We just had the pretzel bites. Easy parking is available. read more

We came for lunch before walking the trail around the nearby White Rock Lake trail. The brewery is conveniently located near an access point for the Santa Fe Trail (which then connects to the White Rock Trail). The restaurant gives you both indoor and outdoor options which was perfect on this beautiful sunny Saturday. We enjoyed both the beers and food we tried. My husband started with the Triple A Amber Ale and then had the Bringing Mexi Back. The Triple A was his favorite of the two. I enjoyed the Dreamsicle Kayak. The flavor wasn't overbearing. For food, we started with the Brussel Sprouts. They had a great flavor with a bit of kick (but not too much). My husband had the Light Patty Melt featuring the turkey burger as a great, flavorful option. I enjoyed the Sriracha Chicken Wrap. I really liked the combo of the ingredients and their sweet potato fries are fantastic! We feel like we've found a great place to keep coming back to before more trail walks! read more

Esthetically appealing inside. Lots of seating, inside and out. It wasn't super busy so it was surprising the service was quite slow. Not sure if there just wasn't enough help. In fact, the appetizer came out with the food which was really disappointing. The alehouse salad was really good. My son enjoyed his burger, and my husband drank up the sourdough chili bowl. Other than the slow service, I would try again read more

Something has changed with this restaurant and it's really disappointing. We used to love coming here but the last three times we have come over the course of probably the last 2 years- experience has not been great. The last 2 times we came they were out of normal menu items and service is just so so. This time, the restaurant was not full, we sat in the bar area. Waitress came over took our order and said it would be 45 mins for food. Again, restaurant wasn't full. The only tables inside that were taken were in the bar area. Maybe 2 tables on the patio occupied. The gravel area had a band so maybe that was why but then need to adequately staff. Nice that she told us before hand, but still doesn't make sense when had numerous empty tables. When we got our food, it was overcooked and just mediocre. A friend had also come at 5, sat outside with her kids and waited 45 mins and no one ever took their order or waited on them. They left. This was such a fun little spot, but it is not the same anymore and with so many other options in the area, they aren't giving me a lot of reasons to keep giving them a chance. read more

Ipo beer and parakeet beers are excellent but the burgers aren't fresh with terrible meat quality. The sauce in the pizza is too thick and sweet. Reminds me of the lunchables pizza. Love the patio by the white rick trail. read more

Service was terrible! Yes, there was an important football game on & there was a watch party on the patio... but. 35 minute wait for a menu & then going back to wait station to get one! Then another long wait to have wait person take our order. Wait person didn't seem to know about Thursday specials. Food / drinks took a super long time to arrive. The food was good, but if service had been more efficient, we may have ordered another beverage. read more

Beer: Great! Tried several. Like them all. Location: Great! Patio is comfortable even in summer. Indoor and bar seating as well. Food: Mediocre. It's average bar fare. It's not bad but it's nothing special. Service: Bad! Servers - spend more time with customers and less gossiping amongst yourselves. Manager - stop flirting with your staff - they're not interested... Prices: Over. At least there's plenty of parking... read more

White Rock Alehouse never disappoints. I've been here a few times and I will say -- the service is always prompt and friendly, the food is always fresh, and they have an amazing collection of beers. It's always very clean and with an appropriate temperature to match the weather!! WRAB, is definitely a neighborhood gem!! and i often stop here after I've had a really long walk on the santa fe trail. If you need a snack while on the trail, don't hesitate pop in, the staff will definitely take care of you!! read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant is very chill and laidback. I would make sure you check in with the host when seating on the patio so they are aware to send out a server. If not, you'll be sitting a while before anyone notices you're waiting for service. Once our server did come out, he was very nice and make good beer recommendations. He also let us know they are about to open another location in Trinity Groves. We including my dog enjoyed our visit to ale house. If we come back, definitely for the beer and environment. Their menu options were just okay. read more

White Rock has quickly become one of my favorite spots to get a beer and something to eat. They have some good happy hour deals, and the bartenders are always helpful and friendly. I usually sit inside, so I haven't been able to enjoy the outdoor patio yet but plan to at some point. My only complaint is sometimes the selection of beers change frequently. I was there recently and discovered that the GDP was no longer on the menu due to being a seasonal beer. It had become a favorite and I was shocked that it was no longer available. Love the flight options and the pretzel bites are always my go to appetizer. read more

Friendly service, owners are caring, food is great and atmosphere is good. Very spacious place with a lot of outdoor seating.

I came here for a dinner with a large group and was blown away by the fantastic service and excellent food. The server was with us as soon as we sat down to get orders and checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. He handled a group of around 20 without any problems at all. The creamsicle beer was interesting, but also refreshing. However the fish and chips really stole the show. I would order that again any day. I would definitely recommend White Rock Alehouse! read more

Used to love this place for years, but the last 3 times my roommate and I have come, we have sat for 15-20 min without being served and ended up having to leave. Very sad because I love the food, location and atmosphere. read more

We enjoy coming to White Rock Alehouse but this visit, sadly, wasn't the greatest experience. The chicken sliders had a sweet and slightly spicy sauce on them, were topped with coleslaw on brioche buns. They flavor was pretty good but there were a couple of tough, dried out edges of the chicken which did not make for a pleasant bite. Their homemade chips would've been much better if there were made fresh to order, most were pretty crisp but there were a few, tough and soggy ones that again, really took away from the flavor and overall dinner experience. It's not very far from our house and we definitely love visiting locally owned restaurants in the area so I would go back and order something else as we've eaten here before and everything else had been excellent prior to this visit. read more

Their beers are good/interesting and the patio is nice but the food is very meh. Nashville hot chicken which was recommended by the server. The bun was hard like hockey puck like they forgot about it in the toaster for 10 min. I've never experienced such a thing in 30years of eating out. It was so bad that had to ask for a replacement bun which I don't like to do. The chicken breast was small and over-cooked and there was not much Nashville hot flavor. 1/5 stars. I honestly wanted to send it back for a refund. I hate to be negative but the chicken sandwiches at most fast food places are better. The Brewben sandwich was better than the Nashville hot but my two friends both complained that the meat was chewy. The chips on both our plates was 80% crumbs. I mean is 50cents worth of fresh chips from a bag too much to ask? Our server was friendly and did a great job taking care of everyone so bonus points for that. This is the first new restaurant I've been to since getting vaccinated and it was very disappointed. I'd come back for a beer but *never* ordering food here again. 4/5 stars for the beer. 2/5 stars for the food. read more

Great, friendly service, patient with our kids- beer was awesome and so was food. Our new go to spot in this area.

After a typical Saturday afternoon gym workout, I am both thirsty and starving. This place definitely satiated both. There is plenty of comfortable seating, at the bar, inside dining, and both patio areas on the side and back. The crowd was diverse and very laid back, and the staff was very friendly. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced. The Big Thicket and White Rock IPA were great selections with distinct hop flavors, and the alehouse burger with the bacon jam and brioche bun was delicious and very well balanced. For the summer months, I recommend the dreamsicle as the go to desert drink that provides all the yumminess of orange vanilla cream bliss. read more

After walking around all morning at The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, we were ready for some food! This place is about a mile away and we received a 15% off coupon while we were at the gardens. I was a bit skeptical coming here because of all the poor reviews on Yelp. However, I was also too lazy to go search around when my brain is hangry. Anyway, the food turned out good! I ordered the chicken sandwich. It was not spicy at all and ended up being better than I expected from the reviews. They have a nice patio at the back. The service was alright. Our food took a little long to come out, and you serve yourself water (despite being a sit down restaurant) at the cooler. read more

This brew pub should be an unrivaled success with its heart of Lakewood location, right on the Santa Fe trail and mere steps away from White Rock...who doesn't want a cold beer and bar food after a ride or run (or in my case, walk) around the lake? What a great place to share a patio afternoon drinking with friends or to meet a fellow mom for a midweek lunch? Who doesn't long for a reliable restaurant where you can take out a smorgasbord of fried meat and starch that will satisfy the myriad of cravings, food aversions and downright eating disorders that have made you despise the thought of cooking dinner? If the order isn't ready when you arrive to pick it up, there is beer! How could it fail? But fail it does, on almost every level imaginable. The menu is uninspired and falls short of even the most modest standards of variety. It appears to be driven by last year's food fads, with little intention put in to offering dishes what people actually want to eat. Yes, they have three versions of flatbread, but none that a preteen would be interested in ordering. They also have three versions of burger...beef, turkey and bean-based patty, and chicken sandos in both fried and grilled varieties. All of the above are described on the menu without an ounce of inspiration. Your remaining entree options are either salad, or fish and chips. The single dessert offering is fried brownie bites. No thank you. Even the most I'll-conceived menu can find redemption in well-executed and tasty food, but White Rock Ale House misses the mark here as well. The fish and chips were heavy on batter and light on fish and the accompanying fries were on the cold side and tasted as if they'd been cooked in overused oil. The salad we ordered was over-dressed. While we didn't try them, we watched two other patrons leave the ahi tuna nachos they were sharing practically untouched. Some may question the motivation behind this dismal review, and trust me, I am getting there. Putting aside the crappy menu and the poor quality of the food, the ultimate reason I (and I suspect others) won't return is the obnoxious employee attempting to hold court at the bar, distracting the bartenders from serving patrons with jokes and comments that were consistently in poor taste. I'm not sure if he is a manager or a cook, but whoever he is, he wasn't doing his job, was keeping others from doing theirs, and seemed to be taking delight in offending the customers. I can't guarantee that he was drinking, but it would surprise me if he wasn't. For a business that has so much going for it, White Rock Ale House is squandering opportunity on a monumental level. read more

Our server, Stephanie, this evening was great! She was so friendly and nice and made our experience great! The food was good and the margaritas are some of the best I've ever had! Great atmosphere and will definitely be back! read more

I love the food at White Rock Ale House, but my recent experience was frustrating. We arrived at 9 PM, not knowing the kitchen closed at 9:15, and no one informed us. We waited until 9:30 just to get someone's attention, only to be told we had to order at the bar--where we found out the kitchen was already closed. It felt like a complete waste of time. Better communication from the staff would have made a huge difference. read more

A very good flatbread pizza. The Margherita has a crispy, flakey and flavorful crust. I usually prefer cherry tomatoes to tomato slices but it worked very well here due to its freshness. Creamy and tasty mozzarella. I look for to coming back! read more

We like to stop in for a drink and bite after our bike ride. The service is spotty, at best, but always friendly. The food is good.

I was first introduced to this place after riding bikes with my fiancé. What a fun hang out and patio situation for friends and family! We've been here at least three times in the last six months and I have to say my favorite menu item is the Caesar grilled chicken salad. It is the best Caesar grilled chicken salad I have found in DFW! We love stopping here when we ride to / back from white rock lake. I give it a four instead of a five because the service could be a little faster and more attentive. I highly recommend it to everyone in the area! read more

Great food, got sat immediately! Burgers were amazing! Greta vibe for a warm summer or spring day, especially on the weekend!

Cool brewery on the south tip of White Rock Lake. A local watering hole for bikers and walkers on the lake. Super laid back vibe. We had a great experience swinging by after our walk on the lake. They offer a wide variety of delicious local and US domestic brews and the service is great! They have a nice outdoor covered patio and the beer garden in the back is hip and a great place to bring a group of friends. All the beers are great and I especially loved the Texas pilsner which came served super chilled. Can't wait to go back and try their food! read more

The food and service here are ok. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again if I had to, but it won't be at the top of my list.

Updated Review (March 23, 2019) Thank you Greg & Aaron for inviting my husband and I back to White Rock to sample some of your delicious food. My husband and I started with their delicious Tater Kegs and OMG they are good. They came out nice and hot with a side of ranch. Next we ordered the Fish & Chips, and the Filet Tip Pasta. Our food looked and tasted so good, that I didn't even think about taking a picture until my last bite. read more

This place is pretty busy for Saturday afternoon. It's at the end of a strip center with lots of seating. Enjoyed my ice cold and really smooth Big Thicket blonde Ale. It was light and had a nice finish. Good service. Sad that the only place i could smoke my cigar was out on the unshaded, windy, and cold back patio rather than on the side patio too. read more
