Listen I came in for the Blake's Salted Carmel Cider. Stayed for the atmosphere, service (Melanie), and food. The service was amazing (thank you Melanie) the food!!!!! We had the catfish stripe ( on special) with (upgraded sweet potato fries cuz we like 'em) and coleslaw slaw. The coleslaw was SUPERB! Light and NOT fishy. So surprised. In a good way. And the coleslaw (homemade) was really good. Not vinegary. Sweet and creamy but not too creamy. One of the best slaws we've had. We will DEFINITELY be back!

They have an exciting menu with a a lot of unique hamburgers. The service was prompt and friendly. I'm giving it a 4 start because it not an Ale House. Their selection of beer is very small and not unique as you would expect from an Ale House.

Pretty small, but cozy bar. I got the Cubano and it was amazing. The sweet potato fries are incredible. In the warm weather the patios open, but in the colder months I can see it getting pretty full pretty quick.

Stopped by on a Monday, was not busy. Service was great, ordered elotes corn dip, very good, nice twist on nachos. Grilled catfish was great, Texas grilled cheese also was very good. Burger was pretty good! Good selection on menu with some items different from traditional bar food. Place was clean and nice inside.

Randomly chose this place driving across country. One of the best ribeye sandwiches I've ever had. They are not afraid of seasoning and flavor here. Very friendly as well.

We went for dinner today and saw all if the reviews. The food was awesome. I had the ribeye grinder. It was perfectly cooked on a garlic bread hoagie roll with carmelized onions..the meat was tender and seasoned perfectly, in my opinion. My brother and I also had the elote dip, which was so good you can eat it without the chips. I didnt get the bartenders name, but she was so friendly and funny also...all and all a great experience...oh yeah we were sitting at the bar

Stopped by here after visiting Next Picture Show for their photo exhibit. Wifey & I each ordered a beer; mine was a kettle sour & I enjoyed it! She got the pork sandwich & I got the patty melt; we both rly liked our sandwiches & the sweet potato fries. Service got a bit slow at the end but our waitress was the only one working for a bit, so it happens!

Went to River City Ale House for dinner and the Cosmopolitan was delicious and the steak quesadilla was equally awesome! The cheese curds were so good too! Great staff, very friendly and attentive!
