    Meaty pizza
    Lita G.

    What can I say besides I have always enjoyed all the food I have ordered here. I was surprised to even enjoy their pizza, considering how picky I am about pizza. I've been here with friends who have also been very pleased with their meal, so in all they are very consistent. Sometimes the kitchen can take a bit longer so be patient, because the food will be delicious. Can't go wrong with a brewery that actually serves good food.

    Southern poutine
    Rhett B.

    I had a dream about this place once upon a time as a junior high boy who wanted to turn his school into a fun place. Huntsville granted my wish! Ale's Kitchen is in a gym of a shut down middle school. Besides having a brewery at this middle school it also has: an arcade, art gallery, coffee shop, pool hall, saloon, Mexican restaurant, an ax throwing bar, and even a church. This was quite an innovative idea! My food choices were Southern poutine, wings and fries, and sweet tea. The Southern Poutine are home-cut fries topped with cheese, slaw, pulled pork, banana peppers, ranch, and BBQ sauce. Overall, I liked it but it had a drop of BBQ sauce, little pork, and a lot of slaw. I ordered 8 wings and were able to split them into 2 sauces - tangy BBQ and sriracha Buffalo. I ordered them extra wet and well, there was a lack of communication somewhere between the waitress and cook. These wings had probably the normal amount of sauce on them. I liked the tangy BBQ better the sriracha Buffalo. The Sriracha Buffalo tasted like Buffalo sauce but the tangy BBQ was not sweet at all. It was like Shane's Rib Shack spicy BBQ sauce. The ranch had dill in it and seemed to be homemade. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Ale's kitchen is definitely a novel place to visit if you ever had dreams and visions of what a cool school looks like. I did some nit-picking about the food but overall, the food was good.

    Wings and fries.

    While having a beer at Straight to Ale, I decided to grab a late dinner at the attached kitchen, Ale's Kitchen. Since it was after 8:00, they only offered the late night menu, which was relatively limited. I chose the wings and fries with their hottest sauce. The dish came out pretty quick and in a to go container. The wings were meaty and big and the sauce, while not super hot, had a good taste. The tarragon blue cheese, well, in my opinion, why try to make something fancy for the sake of fancy. The tarragon if anything diminished from the overall taste profile. The service was friendly and they were easy to converse with. Overall, a good experience. I have had better wings, but if I find myself in that brewery, there is no need to flee those wells and the beers that is within to sate my hunger.

    Kimchi Tacos
    Jason P.

    Amazing food! I decided to follow other reviews and try the bacon wrapped pretzels. De-li-cious! Amazing! 100% lives up to the reviews. For dinner I had the kimchi tacos - awesome! You don't get, in my opinion, any flavor profile of kimchi, but was still amazing. Their fries are perfect. Do yourself a favor and give these folks a try - you mouth/stomach will thank you!

    We split the veggie pizza. The pizza was tasty with a crunchy crust, thick layer of cheese, and unique drizzle of balsamic dressing. The pizza costs $14 and can easily feed two people. The overall ambience of the restaurant is somewhat lacking, but maybe this is due to its appeal to be more of a bar then a restaurant. We did not try the beer, but there was an extensive number of options.

    The bacon appetizer - $8.50.

    Ale's Kitchen offers upscale bar food, often with a slightly international or gourmet twist. I was hoping for a bit more from my first visit, but I'd return just to try the poutine, as I didn't get a chance this time. Located inside Straight to Ale, the seating process can be crowded and confusing. Grab a table and hope a waiter or waitress notices you soon; luckily, ours did. She was very pleasant and our food and drinks came out quickly. My companions enjoyed all the beers they tried. I know they tried the Pilsner as well as Monkeynaut, but I can't remember the others. I had the fromage a trois - a grilled cheese sandwich with two types of cheeses on cheddar FredBread. It was a decent sandwich, but very simple. I was really hoping for a more adult flavor profile, but it tasted pretty much like a grilled cheese you'd make at home with slightly fancier bread. Probably should have added bacon. The fries that came with it were very good. One of my companions had the kimchi pork tacos. I only sampled a piece of the pork, and found that very, very underwhelming. Soggy and vinegary with no smoke taste. He claimed that it was very good when all mixed together with the kimchi and the spicy sauce and the tortilla. I remain unconvinced; I'd probably only order something with pulled pork on it from there with a great deal of suspicion. As a barbecue snob, I may be a bit too critical here. Lastly, my boyfriend ordered the bacon appetizer. It was two strips of very tasty bacon in a sweet glaze with a small dish of pickled vegetables. The bacon WAS very tasty, but the appetizer cost $8.50. My grilled cheese and fries were $8. We both felt the price for the size of the appetizer was pretty unreasonable. It's not really an appetizer you can share, unless there's only two people eating. I dunno. This place might have earned 4 stars from me if I hadn't gotten quite so hyped up off other reviews. I'm definitely willing to try again, as Straight to Ale/Campus 805 is a really cool area that's great for meeting friends. I'll consider this first experience a learning experience and will update accordingly after I return.

    As a city, Huntsville has a lot of fun hotspots, and Ale's Kitchen is near the top of that list! Campus 805 is so fun, and inside you can find Ale's Kitchen, with a speakeasy hidden behind locker doors. They have great food, cocktail, and beer options for all. Across the hall is a game room if you're interested in playing gameboards with some friends. Overall, my friend and I had a good time sitting at the bar, trying out some of their specialty cocktails. I highly recommend checking this place out the next time you are in Huntsville.

    Chicken jerk tacos

    We had a bit of a hard time finding it as it is in Straight to Ale. We sat ourselves and ordered right quickly. We ordered Fruit My lips which was different but very good. We also had Pubbington Ale which was ok. For dinner we had Poutine with roast beef which I did not like at all but my daughter and husband did. We also had teriyaki lime wings and fries. The wings again were liked by two of us but I thought ok. We also had jerk chicken tacos which were delicious. The coleslaw was way to sour for all of us. The bathrooms were bar bathrooms. We would come back

    Classic American Burger (with an extra patty) and a side of fries.

    Nestled inside my favorite brewery in Huntsville is Ale's Kitchen, Straight to Ale's dining option at their new location. My wife and I are very frequent visitors to the brewery, but had yet to try the food. The menu has a good selection of bar food including appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, wings, ribs, salads, and poutines. My wife and I opted for the burgers. Despite the chaos on a Saturday night, our waitress promptly took our order and the food came out quicker than we expected. The burgers were awesome. We both got the Classic American Burger, and I added an extra patty to mine for only $3 making it a monster. Both burgers were cooked perfectly, crazy juicy, and had great flavor. For sides, the fries and side of ranch were awesome and my wife's side salad was a good size (btw their ranch dressing is sooooo good). For the quality of the food, I'd say the prices of the food is good. I'd love to come back and try the wings ASAP. Just another reason to flock to the Campus 805 area and Straight to Ale.

They were super busy (and seemingly short staffed) however, that didn't stop them from being Johnny-on-the-spot greeting us, taking our order, and getting our drinks, apps, and entrees to us in a timely matter. Our waitress even kept apologizing for how busy she was, but that sweet lady was HUSTLING!! We got build your own burgers and fries for sides, and everything was hot, flavorful, and the fries were crispy and seasoned, burgers were juicy and perfectly cooked! It's your typical scene when it comes to sit-down burger places, nothing extraordinary, but it was comfy and accessible! Getting 4 stars ONLY because of the price. Our family of 3 getting an entree each, one appetizer to share, and 2 sodas 1 water walked out paying $91 after tip, so, don't go here if you're looking for budget friendly! Aside from the cost, which is comparable to just about everywhere these days, it's definitely worth a try! Lots of options aside from burgers, including salads, grilled and fried chicken AND meatless burger options! So yes, vegetarians, you can dine too! Pretty sure I saw a Vegan option as well! 100% will go again!

I started out with a Bacon Bloody Mary and told her to make it spicy and the drink didn't disappoint because it was so tasty. I also started out with some fried pickles and I didn't expect the appetizer to be so much food because I ended up taking the rest to go. I ordered a Heat Wave burger and I asked for the condiments on the side and I'm so glad I did because the ketchup and mustard had a heat of spiciest that would've made my burger really hot to not be able to eat. The only reason for the 4 stars is because you have to purchase your side items separately which doesn't include on the burger, but I would definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants a good burger.

We were served a giant grilled chicken sandwich. It looked delish. That was our bad too. The chicken looked like it had seasoning on it, maybe it was just crud from the grill, but this was definitely an unseasoned piece of chicken. We both ordered grilled mushrooms and onions. Those didn't even help the flavor. We moved on to honey mustard, trying to save the sandwich. Unfortunately, the sauce did nothing but make the bun fall apart. We now had a flavorless mess to deal with - eat it or trash it. My husband chose "eat it" because he hates to see food wasted. He complained with almost every bite. I chose "trash it" - I'm too old to eat things I don't like. There were numerous sides available - fries, tots, o-rings, cheese curds and fried pickles. We opted for the rings to share. For just over $4, we received 6 onion rings. They weren't anything special at all - just a rip-off. My husband and I have gotten into the habit of rating every meal - luckily he's generous with the stars when I'm cooking! We had waffled a little but decided on a three. That's until we went to the restroom to wash our hands. The woman's room obviously hadn't had a good, deep cleaning in quite some time. It's beyond the point of a couple paper towels and a bottle of windex. My husband said the men's room wasn't the best either. That three stars suddenly became a hard 2. Wayback Burgers is convenient for us, their loyalty program is pretty straightforward and coupons are not too difficult to find. Unfortunately, the food and cleanliness just made all of those positives nill.
