    Pulled up to Ale's Kitchen on a Sunday morning, line out the door, so we took that as a good sign. Only waited ~20 mins, which wasn't bad at all. Super casual vibe, tables kinda close, and a random full bar for a place that closes at 3pm. But hey, it's 5 o'clock somewhere ‍ I had the Ranchero skillet: spicy, kinda chilaquiles vibes, with a tasty homemade salsa. 4/5, would get again. Hubs went with the chicken fried chicken breakfast: 5/5, he was impressed. Biscuits seemed homemade and were solid too. Grits were just...grits. 3/5. We also split a pancake -- fluffy, good, nothing crazy. 3.5/5. Friendly service, homestyle feel. Would definitely go back and recommend if you're in the area.

    Walked in on a Sunday morning for a late breakfast to be immediately greeted and the door held open for us to walk in. Seating was immediate too! The server was so sweet and wiped up a tiny spill on the floor before I even saw it, to prevent me from stepping in it. Restaurant is clean and offers a bar as well. Moderately noisy so you can have the kids and be able to chat as much as you want in a casual setting. Ordered an Ale's chicken and the chicken fried chicken breakfast for our party of two. Coffee is delicious and smooth! Food wise, pretty good overall. The gravy wasn't as flavorful as I like but the eggs were cooked perfectly. The chicken was delicious. Getting boxes and a check took a bit longer than it should've. I had my card in my hand to pay and asked for boxes and check. My thing is, I don't like to be held up when I need to leave. I watched the server bring food and drinks to other tables over several minutes when she could've just dropped off the check easily at the same time and saved some steps. Once she did finally come back with it, it was quick to pay and leave. Overall 4 stars. We started out strong but kind of dropped off at the end on the service side.

    My gracious they were busy.... But service was still top notch and they had plenty of staff to service and turn tables. My boyfriend had the traditional breakfast. He realllly enjoyed the bacon and the pancake. I have the croissant breakfast sandwich, which I ate for two meals. It was reallllly yummy. I also like their coffee!!!

    Midlothian is SO lucky to have this establishment. I remember the restaurant that was here before, and Ale's is such a huge upgrade for this community. I definitely want to thank the owners that have kept the food quality and service and pricing consistent for the several years that they have been open now. They recently added a back patio to their spot, because they fill up! I particularly like breakfast on the weekends, but their chicken fried steak is excellent. Nothing tastes like it came out of a can or the freezer. This is a restaurant we can take visitors and everyone goes home happy. The service is high schoolers as is typical in the area, but they do a great job here.

    Great menu.

    Oh yummy, we were meetings friends at Ale's for breakfast on a recent Saturday morning. The place was hopping. Fortunately, our friends arrived first and secured a table. We had to park WAY back behind the restaurant. There's isn't much available parking. We were greeted warmly as we came through the door. Ale's has an extensive menu, everything looked SO good. Our friend's ordered a breakfast burrito and Ale's Pancake Breakfast. my wife ordered a bacon and cheese omelet and I opted for the Florentino Benedict. Of course, we had coffee for all of us. Watching the trays of delectable breakfasts coming out of the kitchen we knew we were in for a treat. Even though the restaurant was almost full to capacity, service wasn't rushed. We had plenty of time to chat and get caught up on what's been going on. Our food was so delicious. That's one huge pancake on the Ale's Pancake Breakfast platter. My Florentino Benedict was very good. It could have used a bit more sauce but overall, it was a good breakfast entree. We had a great time and will return again soon when we're in the area.

    Chicken fettuccini Alfredo with Garlic bread

    Delicious! Everything I've ever tried there. I'm fond of the chicken Alfredo. Pictured. Large portion with garlic toast. Highly recommend.

    Asparagus, mashed potatoes, salmon and roll.

    The food is delicious cooked fresh and a large size portion. The mimosas are delicious made the way you like them. The service is great! Me and my daughter go here quite a lot! The place is clean and friendly environment. We do recommend this spot.

    Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. The place was pretty busy but we were seated promptly upon arrival. Our server was pleasant and our food came out quickly. For drinks, I ordered a mimosa and the hubby had a margarita. No complaints there. Hubby had never had fried pork chops so he ordered the breakfast option which came with 2 nice size chops plus eggs, home potatoes, and toast. He enjoyed his food and was knocked out when he got home from the heaviness of his meal. Lol. I wasn't as pleased with my French toast with berries, turkey bacon, home potatoes, and eggs. The French toast was burnt so I could taste the char in every bit. Also I should have opted out of the berries because they were drenched in a sauce that made the entire dish overly sweet. Syrup wasn't needed at all. Overall the place seems to be a local hangout spot. They have a bar plus tvs playing. There were a lot of flies in the place likely from the door opening and closing. Not sure if I'd go back here since I have experienced better brunch and breakfast at other places but we'll see.

    Stopped into The District in Midlothian after a long afternoon of house shopping with my husband…read moreand sister because nothing fuels real estate decisions like hunger, dreams and hope. The place was fully booked, but the hostess saved the day and offered us lounge seating on the sofas. Honestly, it felt a little VIP...like we'd accidentally wandered into the cool kids' corner. I halfway considered putting on my sunglasses indoors just to commit to the moment, maybe even asking if they offered bottle service in the lounge. Within 10 minutes we were settled in and already getting excellent service. And as if the vibe wasn't good enough, there was a one‑man show crooning jazzy tunes in the background. He was smooth, talented, and added just the right soundtrack for an early dinner. Think "speakeasy energy," but suburban‑friendly. Now, the food. My husband ordered the Crunchy Pig sandwich, my sister went for the half rack of ribs, and I claimed the smoked turkey BLT. Everything hit the table about 20 minutes later, hot, fresh, and so lip‑smacking tasty that we inhaled every bite before remembering we meant to take pictures. My apologies to the food‑photo purists; trust me, the plates were camera‑ready before we destroyed them. If you find yourself wandering around The District in Midlothian, do yourself a righteous favor and grab a memorable meal here. Great food, great service, great music, and apparently great sofas.

    4 Stars? I'll tell ya why…read more Good old country cooking just like grandma used to make. I was genuinely impressed that a small town like Godley, Texas is home to a restaurant with this level of comfort, charm, and quality. The hometown feel greets you the moment you walk through the door, and the aroma of chicken fried steak, gravy, biscuits, and brisket makes it clear you are in for a hearty, satisfying meal. Pros: Location - It is tucked just off the main road which makes it easy to find and convenient to access whether you are a local or simply passing through Price - The pricing is more than fair, especially considering the portion sizes and the scratch made quality of the food. You get a true value driven dining experience rather than inflated big city prices Quantity - Portions are generous without feeling overdone. Plates are filled with enough food to leave you satisfied, and in many cases you will have leftovers to take home Cons: Flies - The country setting brings a challenge with flies occasionally making their way into the dining area. Staff does their best to manage it but it is something to be aware of, especially during warmer months Parking - Street parking is limited and can become difficult when the restaurant is busy. You may need to walk a bit depending on the time of day Groups - While cozy and inviting, the dining space is not ideal for large parties. Anything over eight guests may find it a challenge to sit together comfortably Despite these minor drawbacks, I will absolutely be returning. This restaurant is a gem for anyone who appreciates authentic country cooking and a welcoming small town atmosphere. If you find yourself anywhere near Godley, it is definitely worth stopping in.
