The food and service was great and the atmosphere outside was welcoming. Very glad that the new owners took care when reopening this historic venue. We'll definitely be back for other meals in the future.

Cozy and spotless. Extensive, well-chosen beer list ('Alehouse' is part of the name...). I had the Wild Burger, which came a perfect medium rare. They grind their beef daily, apparently having read Mr. Lopez-Alt's Burger Lab, and the result tastes appropriately great

The updated Olney Ale House is warm and inviting. Lemon Tahiti dressing on salad still wonderful. Loved the chili, beer selection, wings.
Patient wait staff.
Suggestion, timing of food service could be improved - main course came out right after appetizers served. (We were not the only ones this happened to)

Today I celebrated my birthday with my dearest friends at the Olney Ale House. What an amazing place! The atmosphere is warm and cozy and decorated like an actual Ale House. The food was outstanding! I had Cream of Crab Soup, which was delicious! Perfectly seasoned, thick, but not too thick, consistency topped with fresh Crab meat. I ordered the Crab Cakes for dinner and they were so good!😋 And the tartar sauce they had on the side was perfect! Large lumps of Crab meat with very little filler. Everything was freshly made in-house and the Turkish Icecream they serve with the Bread Pudding, delicious!! And to top it off, the staff surrounded me and sang happy birthday while the other resteraunt guests joined in. They treated me to a delicious Canoli with a candle on top. YUM!!😋Definitely one of my best birthday dinners. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come back!!! Shout out to our serve Clariser and both Managers Will and Mara.! They were EXCELLENT!!❤️

I have been here three times now for dinner and ordered three different dishes and everything I’ve ordered has been delicious (Can’t wait to have another burger). Every restaurant always has room for improvement, but I think this one is off to an incredible start! It would be great if they had a bit more alcohol in the cocktails, 😉 but that’s not really a complaint, more of a suggestion. Please do add prices to the wines. Beautifully remodeled and I’m so happy to have this as an option again in Olney.

Inconsistent so far... I had a really good burger after they re-opened, but last week I had the same and it was 'okay. Not sure why they changed beef sources, but its not as good ANYMORE. Their fish and chips seems to be the only consistent item.

I am so sad that the new owners of the original Olney Ale House did not continue with the great specials on a weekly basis (happy hours, half price wine nights, half price oysters, etc.).

The portions of food are ridiculous compared to the price and they taste like fast food. I have been there 3 times, and all have been extremely disappointing: EXPENSIVE, BAD SERVICE, and UNINSPIRING FOOD! Who wants to pay for a house salad with a 4 ounce salmon for $28???? And iceberg lettuce with a half tomato? PLEASE!!!!

We are unfortunately not going back even though the restaurant is within walking distance, and WAS one of our favorites.

SKIP IT!!!!!

We drove 40 minutes just to come here and it didn’t disappoint! The renovations, new menu, and attention to detail made our date night away from our three young boys so delightful. The owner Serkan and bartender/ waitress Suzannah and Deniz were so friendly and we will definitely be back! We love to support a family owned business! The chicken scewers were so delicious and one of the best creme brûlée’s I’ve had!

We shared a nice birthday celebration today for lunch. The place was busy even
at 2:30 which is a sign of great success.
Our server, Robert was an awesome young man; polite, professional and kind. He explained the menu and beer choices which helped us make choices. The food was terrific and the menu is plentiful.
We had fish and chips; delicious…the brisket sandwich and Reuben as well.
The sweet potato fries with the sauce was a nice treat. Robert even brought us a complimentary cannoli to celebrate the birthday. That was a sweet surprise!
It’s great to see this restaurant back in the community. They were definitely missed.
The renovations look fantastic! We look forward to returning and will spread the good word. I trust that Robert will be there to welcome us back again…he is an asset to your business.

Great food and drinks, for the of us. Parking was difficult, though. Had to wait for a space. But it was on a Friday night.
