★★★★★ 5.0 Amy Smith · Feb 2026

We don’t get thru this way often, but on our way to the airport via Lancaster we made a point to start our vacation off here, and let me say The Ale House 1890 did not disappoint. From the service to the drinks, the appetizer and the main course was amazing. We already are looking forward to our next visit.

I’ve been back to this place three times now, and my initial assessment stands: The Ale House is awesome. Every menu item I’ve tried has been well-prepared, flavorful, and unique. The staff are very friendly. The service speed is average to pretty quick depending on the time of my visit - no complaints. I recommend their burgers and their rotating desserts. Their locally-made cakes are some of the best I’ve tried in my life. Can’t wait to go back!

The food here was phenomenal along with our beverages from the bar. The price for the quality was a solid steal. This has been the best place to eat since visiting the logan/hocking hills area.

A fantastic experience and food was unique, suprising and well presented. Wait staff from the hostess to the server were just fantastic, friendly and engaging! It was New Year's eve and they had a special menu. We left another restaurant when they were an hour behind on reservations, we are so very glad we did.

The food is really good, it’s on the fancy side for my simple tastebuds. I’m a very plain and a pretty picky eater however, my wife has a more sophisticated palate and she loves the food. We prefer to support small businesses and they’re more than willing to let you order however you want. I got the spicy chicken sandwich with pickles and ranch. Service was excellent and I get a ton of refills, they were all over it. We got the carrot cake to go and it was delicious.
