I was excited to try this place out after seeing it on instagram. I was disappointed with the menu selection for brunch. The portion size and price for the french toast without a meat included was disappointing. I ordered a salad because I didn't see anything I was interested in trying. The drinks were good.
It was our first time there and the food was good but the hype that everyone was talking about I didn't see all that. We ordered two different breakfast meals, one lunch, and a fruity pebbles French toast plate to share between the three of us. The French toast was not that great, it was dry and no syrup was even offered. I would like to try it one more time maybe go during the weekday. We shall see. Thanks!
The 2nd worst management and service is royal oak, which is saying something (mesa next door was still way worse). My gf and I watched every table BUT OURS get service. But for some reason our server took 30mins just get us fork, waited until the food was cold and soggy to eat. The one drink we got was stale tasting and highly over priced. And the food was a little bland for my taste. We got french toast and once again had beg and wait another 20min just to get syrup. Then it was cold and stale, so we decided to just get the bil and boxes, but unfortunately STILL HAD TO WAIT 15MINS JUST TO GET THE BILL. (he forgot our boxes and we left.) We did not get to finish out food atp we spent 2hrs there and paid $95. Dont go here. Ever. (This was my 4th bad experience. FOURTH!!!!!)
Well let's start with finding the place. I met 2 of my girls there on Saturday 7/26 at 1pm. I drove down the street 3 times because I couldn't see the sign from the road. Which then lead me to calling the restaurant asking them where they were. Once to the door of the restaurant & entering it's very small &close space. Definitely make a reservation because walk ins were long waits. Seated at the door & main picture window. All the tables & chairs are within arms reach. There is no space or table conversation privacy. It's almost like you're dining with every one. Menu had variety from carnivore to vegan to vegetarian. Prices were pretty decent. I ordered the surf & turf Benedict with a side of red potatoes. Let's just say the potatoes were on point. The Benedict was good with the sauce however a filet should never be overcooked to the point of not being able to cut through with a knife. There was very little lobster. I would have sent it back but we were short on time as 1 of my girls had to get back to work. Overall if this was prepared better I would probably give it a 10. My friend ordered the chicken fried steak and she said it was pretty good. She liked the gravy. Would I return? Yes I would to try something else. Would I go on Saturday again? No, too busy.
Thank you to the restaurant for seating us outdoors, and to our server for being so attentive and willing to mask when coming to our table. My friend and I loved the vegan house salad and vegan quesarrito that we shared! The former was very fresh, and the latter was packed with a variety of flavors that complemented one another very well. We are eager to return!
Always a favorite. The food and drinks are excellent. We ate on the patio which was a bit noisy with the traffic but worth being outside.
The staff here is always friendly and phenomenal! We love their beverage options and the food is great too!
As always, food and beverages hit the mark. Our server however for table of 4, struggled at times. Not the normal for Ale Marys! Not sure if he had more tables than he could handle or what. Drinks ordered first, those appeared well after our starters. Main courses for 4 took exceptionally long. Server rarely to never came back to check in, more water, more drinks etc.
Food and drinks were good and service was great. Although our waitress said they did not take Yiftee (they do). The worst part was the volume of the music. We couldn't hear each other talk and decided to go to condados to have a drink and be able to hear each other.
Have not been here in a few years and was absolutely amazed at the food! Both traditional and vegan options were extensive our party each ordered something different and shared, and every single thing we ate was absolutely fantastic. Best cocktails I've had in a while. Whoever put the playlist together deserves five stars because the music was awesome all night long. Can't wait to go back.

Arrived shortly after opening on Mother's Day (without a reservation) for brunch and got seated immediately. Our server was very friendly, (service was a bit slow, but we weren't in much of a hurry so it wasn't an issue). The espresso martini and pineapple mule were unexpectedly delicious. Half of the menu is vegan. Got the vegan breakfast burrito --- it was tasty and just the right amount of food. Vegan cookie milkshake to go for the win! Glad we made this the final stop on our road trip to Michigan!
Was dining with a Vegan friend lots of great vegan options and mocktails. Perch was delicious and beverage menu was great.
Very good drinks, but food is very limited. It was nothing really to eat there besides burgers and chicken. I’m not a vegan so didn’t really suit my taste.

We went to Ale Mary’s for weekend brunch especially because of the vegan options.
The vibe is good, lots of beer options and helpful servers.
However the food was a little underwhelming compared to what we expected considering it had a separate vegan brunch menu.
Things we got:
Nashville Hot Chicken: Although the taste was pretty decent, it was so oily that the bread was soaked with oil and by the time we started eating there was oil collected on the plate
Breakfast burrito: It was steaming hot, came with a side of potatoes and the aioli was very good
Death by chocolate cake: Nothing like the name suggested, it was a very basic cold cake (not bad per se but definitely nothing like the description)

Food was good service was good! Ale Mary's just has gotten expensive for what it is. $17 cocktails $32 entrees. Don't know if I would go back
