AERO Ale House Reviews
One of my favorite spots! The vibe inside is just the right mix of cozy and cool—like if your stylish friend with great taste in beer opened a pub. Their salads make me feel responsible, their burgers make me forget I was trying to be, and the fries? Let’s just say they disappear faster than my willpower. Add in great drinks, and it’s basically my happy place. Highly recommend!
Please bring back the cuban sandwich!

AERO Ale House is a lively and fun restaurant with an aviation theme that creates a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The decor features real airplane seats used as booths, hangar-style decorations, props, and signs from different airports, giving it a pilot-friendly vibe. The restaurant offers a menu full of comfort foods with a creative twist, served in a laid-back setting suitable for families, date nights, or casual outings with friends.
Recent updates include the addition of a separate gluten-free fryer and gluten-free seasonings, allowing those with Celiac disease to enjoy the homemade fries and other dishes without worry. Guests are encouraged to inquire about the menu since it is not yet updated online.
The beer selection is impressive with rotating craft taps, including favorites like Pipeworks, complemented by handcrafted cocktails and a variety of local craft beers. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Popular dishes include the Chipotle Herb-Glazed Pork Chop, which is juicy and well-seasoned, and the Fried Pickle Burger loaded with bacon, cheese, and tangy sauce, served with crispy hand-cut fries. The fish sandwich and chicken pita are also highly recommended, alongside veggie lettuce wraps that are flavorful and worth the messy challenge.
Service at AERO Ale House is friendly, attentive, and quick, even during busy times. The energetic environment, especially during peak hours, adds to its lively charm. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for enjoying great comfort food, craft beers, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere.
