My sister and I were looking for a cool place to eat before going to see Practical Magic 2 and…read moreHuntington Ale House was the top pick!!! We came on the best night evidently because we were greeted with the vision of prime rib through the window and it looked and smelled delish!!!!! I love the atmosphere....its cozy, small hometown feel and I'm all for it. The staff was so nice and friendly. They have a wide variety of items on the menu. We wanted some good comfort food so we both settled for different varieties of the Mac & cheese. I ordered Chicken & Broccoli and my sister ordered the Cajun Chicken. This isn't your run of the mill Mac & Cheese. It's silky, savory and scrumptious. Don't let the outer appearance fool ya....this food was top notch & I'm kinda of a food snob. So if I had to describe the Huntington Ale House I would say it's like you're favorite pair of jeans, a little worn but hugs your body the best and fits just right. I will definitely be back for the Peanut Butter Chicken & Waffles.

As always the Ale House hits it out of the park. Excellent food and great service!…read moreThis time I had the black n blue burger and it's by far my favorite burger in the TriState. My husband loves the pulled pork Mac n cheese.

It's really hard for me to write a bad review, but here we go. We walked in, the doors were wide…read moreopen and the entire dining room was filled with smoke. There was a family in front of us that was seated promptly. We stepped forward to the host stand where 3 women stood. Not one of them looked at us or in any way acknowledged us for nearly a minute. Other than the smoke, the ambiance was neat. Our sever was nice. I ordered the Korean bowl, and the tin cup traveller. My husband ordered the steak sandwich and fries. His fries arrived before anything else. Then my drink. Then my dish. I'm taking pictures, the fries are sitting there. After 5-6 bites of my "Korean" bowl, I bite into an ice cold piece of broccoli. The previous bites had been warm. Not hot, but warm. They microwaved my bowl and returned it. Another server asked me if I wanted the sauce that was supposed to come with my bowl. The beef in my bowl was supposed to be bul-go-gi, it wasn't. The sauce was an American barbecue sauce, nothing like bul-go-gi, the kimchi didn't have any flavor. The entire dish was rather bland without the barbecue sauce. It was very disappointing from a Korean food perspective, but not horrible, I ate it. My husband's steak sandwich never came. We watched several steak sandwiches be delivered to other tables, tables that came in after us. Our server acknowledged that was happening and apologized but had no explanation, other than the oven wasn't hot enough. Such a disappointment.

I ordered the brisket tacos and hubby got the 3 meat platter with ribs, brisket and chopped pork. The brisket was very good, but I suspect we received brisket from 2 different batches because one of my tacos was salty and the other two were fine. Hubby said ribs were a bit overcooked and a tad dry. My tacos came with one side so I chose broccoli salad. However it arrived with coleslaw instead. Upon mentioning it to Cameron he apologized and brought the correct side. Was planning to order bread pudding for dessert but was completely stuffed after our meals. Considering it was a Tuesday, the place was hopping. Servers were moving around at a brisk pace. We will return again!

Situated in the old Frederick Hotel, this eatery is a magical throwback to the early 60's with red leather, dark paneling and a chair rail featuring an elephant walk! Our dinner choices were relatively straightforward, but the food was outstanding. We started with a nice side Caesar salad with fresh Romain lettuce, fresh croutons, shaved Parmesan and a perfect amount to dressing. My entree was the Fried Shrimp platter. The shrimp were absolutely fresh, huge and butterflied perfectly. A light but tasty breading with a side of spicy cocktail sauce made it even better. French fries and glazed sliced carrots made for perfect sides. My dining partner opted for fresh grilled salmon, perfectly seasoned and done to perfection. Fresh broccoli and risotto were just the right compliments. Dessert was an in-house prepared chocolate gnash mousse - dense, rich and velvety, and served as the perfect was to finish the meal. Finally, the service was excellent. And we had a chance to chat with owner Mark Cross, who has presided over this establishment for 23 years. Mark was a delight to meet, and takes great care and pride in providing a top notch experience. If your travels bring you to Huntington, do yourself a favor and dine mat this historic gem!!

Service was consistent from the moment we arrived. Chef James Hillen rivals some of the top Chefs that we have dined with. The food was FANTASTIC! Our steaks were flavorful and cooked to perfection with an exceptional sear. The garlic mashed potatoes were perfectly seasoned and prepared. The homemade mac and cheese was creamy with the perfect crust on top. The salad was a good portion size and tasted like it was freshly chopped and prepared. The asparagus was cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. The crème brûlée was balanced and creamy with a delicious hardened caramelized sugar layer. We can't brag on this place enough and definitely recommend this restaurant. This is a place we will dine at again!

I really enjoyed my visit to Bask Smokehouse…read more Big shout out to the bartender that waited on me. She gave me her name right out of the gate, but I'm horrible with names, so I don't recall for sure... Ashley l think. But if I'm wrong, I'm sorry. She took such good care of me the entire visit. Thanks!!! Love the vibe of this place. Was made to feel at home right away. Food was seriously good. I had the pork belly burnt ends as a starter. Them were top shelf. Fat rendered, lean tender, and the sauce was tangy and a little spicy. Scatter of fresh Fresno peppers sliced thin were a nice touch. My main was a 3n3 with pork ribs, pulled pork and Tri tip. All smoked perfectly. Tender still juicy. The only minor adjustment I might make is lightly reasoning the pulled pork after the pull. But that's it. Sauces made up for that though. Sides were good too. Braised kale, green beans and Mac and cheese. All wonderfully prepared. Kale was so good I bought a quart to carry out. They kill that kale l. It is so good. All around good experience.

We decided to hit the patio because it was a gorgeous evening and there was better live music taking place down the street that we could enjoy at a comfortable volume. That's when Jessica welcomes us. What a shinning star of an employee. We were unsure on the cocktails to order and she broke down the flavor profiles beautifully and gave top notch recommendations for the liquor choices. Then we mentioned we were looking at apps. We were very up front about this being our first experience and asked what she suggested of the two we were debating on. She then told us about a special that was more an entree but also would be a great app; the wonton nachos with pulled pork. Wow. Those were a shining star. We then got the 2&2, tried the smoked Turkey and Beef Tri Tip with sides of the Deviled Egg Potato Salad and fresh green beans. Did we forget to choose sauces like the menu said? Heck yeah we did, but Jessica came through clutch and picked the sauces she thought paired best with each meat and upon delivery, made sure we knew what was the best pairing. My god, was it perfect. The apple butter based sauce *was* perfect with the Turkey (and now i think it needs to be tried with the pork but i digress) and the Smokey hot bbq gave just the nicest spice for the tri tip. Was it the best barbecue we've ever had? I'm not gonna blow smoke, pun not intended. It was pretty good. I legitimately was so engrossed in the food i forgot i had a cocktail beside me. But what made it amazing is the care to the experience Jessica gave. She listened to our interests from the menu and helped make it an unforgettable dining experience that is going to bring us back again. So go in, grab a patio seat, and ask for Jessica, you won't regret it.

It was a little dark in here, but I feel like a lot of steakhouses are dark inside. They were also playing music the whole time. Our server was nice and friendly. The second we were seated, the waitress brought us bread and butter. For the appetizer we got Cheese Fondue. That was really good. There was a good variety of items to dip in the hot cheese. We ordered Filet Mignon with loaded baked potato and salad. It was really good. The sauce on top of the steak had a good flavor. We also had the Ribeye with baked potato and salad. The Ribeye was fine. Our one complaint was that the salad came out at the same time as the cheese fondue. The steaks came out not long later. This made everything really rushed. Usually even if you order everything at the same time, they at least have some space between each course. They also had a lot of good dessert options but we were full and tired so in the end we didn't order any dessert. I recommend The Grill on Third. It was a good night.
