Ale House Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Shamokin

I gave the Ale House 3 stars because it was a pleasure in most ways... we sat at the table outside, the one in the posted picture outside on the sidewalk and the weather was perfect for an early dinner... the interior has been updated, the bathrooms were clean and modern... the whole place seemed clean... we had the pulled pork app and the pork was smoky delicious... had the blue bacon burger on pretzel roll and it was very tasty... she had the brisket sandwich and enjoyed it, but noted that the brisket wasn't as smoky as the pulled pork... now, be careful at this place... we were offered the choice of sides of chips, fries or salad, I got the fries and she got the salad... come to find out they charged us for those two ($3 for the salad and $2.25 for the fries) and they charged me an extra $1 for asking for lettuce and tomatoe on my burger... up charge, eh, ok, but at least tell us... the wait staff was the biggest disappointment... orders were mixed up... it took 45 minutes to get our food, which she never addressed with us... once, when we were asking about our food, she told us it was ready as she got "buzzed" and then came from the kitchen empty handed and ignored us again... my girlfriend had a 2nd drink brought to her without asking our being asked... they really didn't have their act together... next time, I think I'll eat at the Italian joint across the street from...

Was out on the motorcycle and found this little gem by luck. I was promptly welcomed in by a sweet gal named Amber. She was super friendly and engaging and offered me the history of the Ale House which is a pretty neat story and I love that kind of history.

Unbelievable selection of local and not so local beers which is nice because I only have one when on the bike. My wings came out really fast. While I was put off at first that they weren't tossed in sauce as I prefer, it ended up being a non-issue. They included lots of extra sauce and I doused them immediately. They were EXPERTLY cooked. Really crispy without being over done. Best wings I've had in a while and I'm a bit of a wing addict.

All in all, this place is clean, affordable with a really diverse menu and great service. While it's around 150 miles away from my home,...

I ordered steak fries. When they came out they were fries with gravy and pieces of meat. The waitress took them back and returned a few minutes later with the thing stating this is what I ordered. We asked to speak to a manager. She came out with the same plate and said that’s what you ordered. She said she would send an owner out to speak with us. We finished our dinner and the waitress brought the check as well as a bag that had the gravy fries in a container. Our check also showed a charge of $13.00 for the gravy fries. We asked to see an owner. The co owners came out and gave us a hard time. I said we would pay for everything except the fries. The one owner agreed and took it off our bill. My Chicken fingers were terrible. They were fried or something that they were hard. I suggest you think twice before eating at this...
