We love Portland ale house. My kids love drawing on the paper table covers. Free popcorn and an ice cream sandwich with their meal. I love that they have a great rotating draft list and all the food ive had is great. My favorite are rhe burgers.

We had Hunter as our server, and he was a charming young man who made our experience even better. His service was excellent from start to finish—attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. The food was delicious and came out promptly, and everything was prepared just right. The atmosphere was welcoming and enjoyable, making it a great place to relax and have a meal. The restaurant itself was very clean and well maintained, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and we will definitely be back again.

We encountered great decor, great beer, fabulous food, and the amazing Wendy who took care of all our needs! We thoroughly enjoyed the Shepherd's pie and French dip sandwich. I can't wait to go back to try more from the menu and hang out!

Sunday evening for dinner with friends. Nice atmosphere. Able to have a conversation at the table. Good service. Server is able to talk about the menu, answer questions, friendly yet professional. Attentive. Food is cooked fresh so a slight wait because we didn't order apps. BUT cooked to order so it's hot and what you ordered and flavorful. Hamburger salad is a great choice. The patty is 10oz, plenty for a meal with a nice fresh salad. We would return and recommend.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Mike S · Jan 2026

Good number of beers on tap. Friendly atmosphere. Homey decor. I had a wrap which was pretty good. On another occasion I had the nachos, which were - by far - the worst I've ever had in my sorry life. Paying good money for those awful nachos made me feel violated. I guess I'll get over it eventually. Will probably go back and try something else because, in general, I like the place.
