Best place for oysters. Incredible menu. Head chef really knows how to mix it up. Great atmosphere and well decorated.

Generally, a great place to eat. Food is 90% consistent from visit to visit. A favorite on the first Tuesday of the month for modern big band jazz with a 16-piece group of local and regional musicians. Staff always friendly--well worth good tips. The steam bar is exclusive to the area with dishes like jambalaya, pan roast, cioppino, and gumbo, with steamed seafood including shrimp, clams, and mussels. A recent addition is an oyster bar with several varietals available. Can be busy and crowded and loud. But you may enjoy the energy. Comfy seats in the dining room with views of an open kitchen. A good choice.

American Ale House. We walked in to an empty, yet very fun environment early in the day, greeted by kind hosts who allowed us to choose our own table. The space felt like a playground with a sense of comfort and fun (Be sure to notice the amusing posters on the wall by the piano). This place has potential for crowds of all sizes and for various functions. It was a superb environment to relax and revisit memories as you ponder your existence while gazing at your reflection through the large-mouthed tea cups.

Great scallop, arugula and roasted beet salad. Was catching up with an old college friend who enjoyed her three cheese and asparagus sandwich as well. Only complaint was that we were chatting awhile and after we got our check our server stopped refilling our water. We weren't holding up her table bc the place was pretty clear given the hour. Otherwise all good.

While basically every meal we've had at the American Ale House is excellent, I was really pleased with the flavors and seafood-stuffed heaven of the cioppino from the Really Swell steam bar.
Our favorites from the regular menu include the oyster nachos and the prime rib sandwich. I also love the lobster roll.
There is a great selection of beers on tap, with a variety of seasonal options. If you can't make up your mind they offer flights.
I love how the decor was redone in recent years. It feels extremely cozy in each room, and we loved the holiday decorations. We will continue to frequent the Ale House because we enjoy the food and we love the atmosphere.

Everything was delicious. The waiter gave us a little too much time to think, but overall it was a good service and we didn't have to wait too long on a busy Saturday afternoon. The Blistered Shishito Peppers were delicious, but none of them were spicy at all. The cowboy steak sandwich was wonderful, as was the sweet potato waffle fries that came with the New England Lobster Roll. The only complaint I have is that there was very little lobster in the new england lobster roll. There were four shrimp that were delightful, but only two small pieces of lobster in the two toasted rolls I received.

Always great food and beer! Definitely a southern vibe, with dishes like po boys and jumbo. Great date spot!

Atmosphere is very pleasant and I like the live music. The hostess was abrupt and dismissive, unfortunately. I also think the menu is a bit pricey for what is being offered.

The food was good. Nice atmosphere and they have seating indoors and outdoors. The menu items are a little pricey.

The American Ale House has a lot going for it!

The beer selection is always solid, with a variety of styles and regional and national craft breweries represented. Happy hour deals can be great, especially if you're used to urban prices. $3.25 for a glass of fine double IPA? Can't beat that.

The food is a mix of bar food and more upscale bistro type meals, and I have almost exclusively eaten the former. They make a great hamburger, and the other sandwiches I've had (pulled pork, roast beef, etc.) have also been solid. Good fries, too, and prices are typical, $10-12 for a sandwich. Their house burger and fries at $10 strikes me as a good deal. I've also been to brunch once, and enjoyed it a lot (steak and eggs and coffee).

I also enjoy the ambiance of this place; it's a large space, and tables are nicely separated from one another. There's a piano bar, with performances several nights a week that make for good listening but are not too intrusive if you want to eat and converse. Additionally, the patio area is a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal any time of day, though don't forget the sunblock if you'll be there a while.

Ordered the oyster nachos (sounds strange but was super tasty) and the cowboy steak sandwich- which was also very good. We had a great waiter, so I'm not sure why previous reviews are commenting on poor servers. Overall, I really enjoyed my time, food was good, and the atmosphere is unique.

Visited this place on 03/25/17 and ordered a steak. However the steak was so tough that my son hurt his jaws trying to chew it!. Even with a knife that meat could only be cut with a great effort! I requested to speak with the manager but the person did not come to our table. Also they refused to provide any replacement for the main course. On a separate note our waiter refused to take our order of mussels despite the fact we always were able to get them in our past visits. Also the waiter brought no bread. Overall, we were extremely dissatisfied and will never ever visit this restaurant again.
