    Ale's crab house!
    Micael D.

    Absolutely amazing staff!! Quick, attentive, friendly and efficient!! The food? Chef's kiss. A must for anyone who loves seafood. But fear not, my land-loving carnivores -- their burgers are legit too. The drinks? On point. I'm convinced they put magic (and possibly happiness) in their margaritas -- best in town, hands down. The vibe? Laid-back, spacious, and beachy enough that you'll forget the nearest coastline is hundreds of miles away. Close your eyes and you might just hear seagulls... or maybe that's just me after round two of margaritas. In short -- great food, great drinks, great vibes. If you leave here unhappy, you probably ordered water.

    While staying for the night in Ridgecrest, we decided to stop in to Ale's. We came in eyeing the shrimp and lobster fries which was our favorite part of the meal. Kids shared a chicken sandwich, which was ok. Husband and I shared the pastrami burger, which was pretty tasty, loved the pastrami. The restaurant was very clean and had nice hand washing station and some fun decor. Our waitress was not all that friendly, but was very attentive. Overall pretty good food for this small little town.

    The food was so good and super cheap compared to a place I went to in Bakersfield. The waitress was also very nice and attentive! I loved it so much!!

    Can't believe they serve as this pen with lots of dark spot. Not only that it was spoiled. My husband had bad stomachache that night

    Food was good but can't believe they serve as this corn that had lots of discoloration. My husband took a bite then stop eating. My three years old likes corn so she took a bite and also didn't continue. So I took a bite to find it was spoiled. That night my jus had a bad stomachache until the next day. I am not sure where i should come back but tell them when they feed me spoiled food or not to come back here anymore due to the lack of food safety control

    Friends, if you are on your way to Death Valley or find yourself in Ridgecrest, stop here. Amazing friendly service and a fun atmosphere. It is in a very unassuming strip mall but it's bright and cheerful on the inside with wooden tables and plastic bibs! Two of us got the Po' boy and praised the light and airy batter. It wasn't heavy and the shrimp was excellent quality. The bread was a little soggy but who cares when the shrimp was so good. Fries were the standard side. The shrimp tacos were grilled and came with a side of fries or white rice. Interesting. I had the shrimp boil. You could add on rice, corn or sausage and get your choice of seafood, seasoning and spice level. I ordered the combo seasoning but it was a little salty. But somehow the grease and seasoning on the corn in the cob mixed with the steamed rice was epic. Definitely be sure to try any of the boils. I washed all of it down with a Negro modelo draft. All in all, a culinary bright spot of our trip to Death Valley.

    Deep fried Lobster tails

    An unexpected seafood find in the dessert. Nautical industrial decor, clean and comfortable dining area. Staff was friendly, and service was attentive. My only negative on the food was that their catfish fillets were not completely cleaned, and they had some of the dark mud vein still attached. You could get around it, but it leaves an off taste to an otherwise nice piece of fish. Cod and clams were cooked perfectly. Batter was crisp and not greasy, served with slaw, corn and fries. Now let's talk about the Giant score for the night. Deep friend lobster tails. Holy smokes they are delicious!!! 11 out of 10 would make the hour and a half drive for home just for these. Two tails pulled way from shells and then breaded in a season batter and deep fried to crisped perfection. It's on the appetizer menu, served with a pile of fries. Fabulous. I will probably get that for my dinner next trip. Over all a very nice dinner date

    Food was delicious! Truly had lots of flavor and you can tell the chef really cares about each dish. Service was 10/10, very fast and attentive staff! The restaurant itself is very well decorated and fun! I love the cool designs they have :)

    Is there crawfish here?

    I'm pretty sure there was when we went there

    Disappointed. I ordered online to pay at the restaurant…read more 1) The bill was supposed to be $56.77. When I got there i paid with my card and they charged me $67.61, more than $10 different and it wasn't due tip. I know everywhere they charge you 3% more if you pay with card instead of cash, but it was 19% more. 2) I got a burrito and it was 2/3 the size of a burrito from chipotle for the same price and the food was as salty. 3) I got the combo meal but the fajita didn't come with the wrap nor did I get my drink. I won't come here again. If the food is good I won't mind the higher cost, but they need to be transparent about it. But the food was ok (don't like how salty it was) and the unethical regarding the lack of transparency with the charges is making me not wanting to come back.

    We were looking for a place to eat lunch in Ridgecrest. We usually stop at classic burgers but this…read moretime we decided to go for some Mexican food. Wednesdays are the best day to visit this restaurant since they have tacos for $1.49 a piece all day on Wednesdays as they're special. We were just lucky enough to be there on a Wednesday so we swung in and had some tasty tacos I had the Carnitas tacos which were delicious note that these are street tacos so they are a little on the small side but well worth the money great service from the staff there we had the nicest server I think her name is Sylvia. Highly recommended if you find yourself in Ridgecrest any day of the week, but especially on Wednesday.
