I hate having to write a bad review. But I'm writing this review based on my most recent experience at this establishment. I'm familiar with the Ale House and have been coming here for many years, for many different occasions. It's a local favorite, and they have great events. However, my family and i like to attend their Sunday Buffet and was in the area on this most recent Sunday. We stopped in, and learned that the Sunday Buffet was a thing of the past, that they rid of it because of food waste. No problem, we figured we'd try the breakfast anyway. So, after putting our name in with the host, we waited at the door for a table to clear. The host saw a table open up and told us we could go over and sit there (while there was still dirty dishes at the table) I said, we'll wait for a clean table. The table was then cleaned by a young man, and we were told we could walk over and sit. Young Man came over to bring coffee creamers and we misinterpreted him as our server. He told us our server would be with us in a minute, but took our coffee orders anyway. Very polite and very fast, seemed eager to please. Coffee came, and we asked for more creamers (coffee was potent, I loved it, my family found it too strong). We had menus already at the table and we took time to look over and decide what we wanted, and finally a nice waitress come over after a bit of waiting and we placed our order.

We waited 50 minutes to receive our food from the time we put our order in,There were 3 of us, and we ordered pretty simple breakfast dishes.

Each time, the waitress coming over and ensuring us that it would be right out, she was keeping an eye on it.

in the time that i took to receive our food, we witnessed other folks come in, sit at the bar, order food, eat said food and finish up and leave. The table behind us were sending CLEAR body language that they were tired/annoyed of waiting and ready to pay their check and leave. They had been there before we arrived.

When the food did finally arrive, the biscuits and gravy were atrocious. It seriously tasted like the biscuits had been prepared the day before, were burnt black on the bottom, had been stored and then microwaved to get them steaming hot which caused them to dehydrate and get hard. The gravy, tasted really good but they cheaped out on the portion size of gravy. The waitress was nice enough to replace my dish with a new one, however it was the same exact situation. Completely inedible, however I was able to enjoy the eggs. Whoever is serving those biscuits is cooking the heck out of them, and in turn losing the flaky/soft aspect of what a biscuit should be.

Unfortunately this was just not a good Sunday breakfast and with the buffet being gone, we will not be returning.
