I had a wonderful time at Carolina Ale House Brier Creek on Sunday. Everyone that works there was very friendly. The food was perfect! Got the spinach and cheese dip, grouper fingers with lemon pepper seasoning, a buffalo chicken wrap, fries and donut holes for dessert. The grouper fingers were amazing! Our server, Ken, was so accommodating and attentive. My friend and I stayed 5 or 6 hours and Ken took great care of use the entire time. When I go back I’m definitely asking...

The food review has 0 to do with my waiter, Preston. He was attentive to me and my friend and he even talked us into a dessert. He has a good sense of humor too! Highly recommend him. Hope you win this time around Preston! ¨̮

The best local sports bar! I always get the Carolina nachos even tho it's just an appetizer it's HUGE and so yummy.

Full of screens and sounds, as a sports bar should be. Buuuut they have a DJ now (at least when I went today) which is why I have to give the atmosphere 4 stars, it was a bit much for me personally but maybe that's because I was right next to his speakers 😅

Shoutout to Lesha!
