All my years living in Raleigh I never came to this ale house before. We came for lunch and I got the buffalo chicken nachos and my mom gave me her onion rings. The nachos were fresh and crispy, the chicken was cooked perfectly and I love the chipotle ranch or buffalo ranch they had on it. The jalapeños added a nice spice to it. The onion rings were fresh and crispy, and I loved the sauce that went with it . I was surprised how good the food was. I'd come back again. read more

First off, I did not know this place was in the mall lol. Shoutout to Google! But I'm glad we still went because the experience was wonderful! Our waitress was super friendly & kept calling me love it was a Friday afternoon so it was not crowded at all. We were seated right away & the food came out quick. We ordered food based off recommendations on yelp. The buffalo wings were great. I could tell they were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Since we already had chicken, I decided to get the beef cheesesteak wrap. Great decision because it was fireeeeee. So fresh, so good. I only ate half because it was a great portion. The fries that came with it were delicious, crunchy and fresh. Both of the pizzas were very cheesy and tasty. I thought it was going to be a personal pizza but they were huge and enough for the table. Overall great experience and will go back for that wrap if I'm ever in Raleigh again! read more

I am not sure if this is a family run business or not - but it sure has the warmth of one. Everyone is very friendly and the food very good.

Very large menu. Enjoyed the lamb burger. Great place to eat when shopping in the mall.

Service was quick. Food was delicious. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. We got to go. Waitress was very nice. read more

This was our first visit after an afternoon at the mall. We were pleasant surprised with the variety on the menu and the quality of the meals prepared. Service was great too. Only giving it 4 stars this time because I don't feel we had a full opportunity to judge the restaurant, we had to rush back home. Would definitely go back and hopefully give them 5 stars. read more

I had been craving a good burger and this is the first place I think of. I went for an early dinner so it was not crowded. I was greeted quickly and my waitress came over quickly and took my drink order...water no ice. I ordered the burger and asked for extra seasoning on the fries and burger . That's what makes the difference here, plus a good quality meat. The burger came out quickly and was hot, as were the fries. Yum I noticed the plate was a lot smaller, not as many fries as before. The burger was as good as I expected. However, I will not be able to come back here again, as the prices have gone up and I just can't afford it anymore. I didn't get a drink, so for just the burger and fries it was over $21. I do recommend this place for the good service, clean atmosphere and good burger....but I just can't do it anymore. Very sad....good memories here.... read more

We had to run by the mall and decided to stop here for lunch. Our server forgot my partner's beer and we had to find her to remind her. Overall she was friendly though and fixed the issues quickly. We weren't impressed with the drinks (local beer for him/local cider for me) that they had on draft but the food was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the kabob special and my partner got the cheesesteak and said it was great. We enjoyed the Christmas decor they had as well. I don't think we would seek this place out to eat at again but if we were on the Raleigh side of town and happened to be close, we would consider dropping by again. read more

Came here for lunch recently and had an OK time. We were seated immediately and our server did a decent job throughout the meal checking on us. I thought the prices were a little steep for the food - $18 for a burger and fries, and then an extra $2.50 to sub in a side Caesar salad. The salad was mediocre but the burger was pretty decent (but nothing crazy good). The beer selection wasn't bad. I'm not sure I would come back here again, but maybe I'd consider it if a game was on that I wanted to watch? Not sure. read more

Best food in the whole mall and probably the area around the mall. I feel like everytime I'm at the mall I end up here. Great burgers, great wings, great Mediterranean food. Try the lamb chops and thank me later. Best selection of beer in the mall. read more

Really enjoyed the food. Bartender was very personable. Would definitely go again should we be back in Raleigh

The food was okay but not a lot of flavor. Traditional pub food. If you like pub feel, then it was okay. Liked the apps but the meal was not as flavorful as other places. read more

Great food and beer. Really liked the baked potato. Service was a little slow. Would recommend they wipe the menus down.

Overpriced mediocre food and the draft beer was...really off. Not to mention the $1 up charges for every little condiment. Sour cream for the baked potato, an extra ranch for the salad...everything! read more

Stopped at Crabtree for a quick lunch while watching the game and pleasantly enjoyed the meal. We got mozzarella sticks and a Buffalo chicken sandwich. Montreal sticks were a bit expensive for only three, but we're not too bad little heavy, but to be expected by that type of mozzarella sticks. The sandwich was very good, but definitely bring a mint after and wash your hands thoroughly as the garlic taste is a bit overpowering. Sandwich three flavorful and good. read more

10/10 Maritza was the best!!!!! Service was great, the ambiance was amazing!!! Definitely recommend the wings!

Crabtree Ale House is seriously a win every time. The food is amazing, super fresh, and there's something for everyone on the menu -- burgers, wings, pizza, Mediterranean, you name it. You will not find this authentic Mediterranean food anywhere else. It is perfect for every taste, every thing is perfectly prepared and nicely displayed. It is Perfect spot whether you're shopping at Crabtree Mall or just hanging out. The drinks and beer selection are solid, and the customer service is top-notch -- friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Great food, great vibe, great people. Definitely a go-to spot read more

They have Smithwicks !!! Great atmosphere and easy to park. Friendly staff. They are on top of their game

Deeeelicious! My second time eating here, and I will definitely be back. Boneless wings are a hit, pair it with their loaded fries and you're golden! Great place to catch a game on TV and tons of on tap options. Add it to your weekend to-do list while you're in the area! read more

This was selected due to location as we were meeting my niece for lunch who currently works in Crabtree mall. This was a good place. It is a typical mall sports bar. Lots of booths and tables. Several TVs up with various sports shows on. There was a good selection of beer, mostly NC beers... which is good. We had burgers and a grilled chicken salad. All were quite good. The service was quick and the prices were very reasonable. I doubt we will be back in that mall in the near future, but if you are... give it a try- even if you just want to sample a few beers. read more

I ordered carry out, service was fast and quick. I got 16 lemon pepper wings, a chicken gyro and fries and while I waited I got a Jamaican Mule. I'm not sure why but the lemon pepper wings had a buffalo spicy undertone. So much so I couldn't eat them because they were too spicy - hence why I got what I thought had no spice. That was a little disappointing. The chicken gyro was really good - so that's worth a try! I didn't get and pics except for the mule. The Caption Morgan was nonexistent so you may want an extra shot if that's your thing...I watched the bartender load up the lime and pineapple juice and ginger beer....he also used the scoop to put my ice in the cup but then he used his bare hand to push my ice further in the cup...weirdest thing I've ever seen...and he did it to multiple customers drinks while wiping his forehead sweat and his hands on his pants. I was a little grossed out about it but my food came out pretty fast so I took a sip and left. All in all if you want to try the food you probably wouldn't be disappointed! read more

Me and my grandmother came here today and we were so impressed! We both tried to stick to the healthier side as much as we could, we knew going anywhere was risky because not all "healthy" food is bound to taste great. But wow- our meal was delicious! We both ordered the salmon which came with grilled vegetables and a side salad. Every bit was so tasty- the vegetables had a nice char, the salmon was cooked perfectly, not dry and with wonderful flavor, and the salad was BOMB- all thanks to the Ranch dressing which somehow tasted 10x better than the bottled stuff (gotta live a little, the healthy dressings just don't do it as good as ranch!). Our server was so polite and attentive, it was truly such a nice experience. So glad we tried this place, we both highly recommend! read more

I came back here with my mom because I was raving to her about the gyro but it seems like it wasn't quite as big but still super delicious! The main reason I love this place so much is actually because of their gyro. If you come here it's a MUST try. This time I also got the Greek pizza with lamb to try and it was good but the balsamic and olives gave it a tangy taste, so I should've considered that before I ordered and got them on the side or not at all. read more

This afternoon we were at the mall and got a little hungry. We stopped in after reading great reviews about their burgers. I ordered the lamb burger and I was very pleased with it. It was so delicious and it overhang the bun quite a bit. The fries that came with it are quite good as well. I should have taken a picture but we were so hungry. Next time! read more

Great food, great portions, never even knew this was here. We wanted a quick bite before leaving the mall. The food was good, the prices were a tad bit high. As someone who cooks at home we tend to be picky about cost when eating out. I'd say this was a fair price for large portion entrees-- $21 burger and fries & $19 massive loaded potatoes not bad Crabtree not bad at all read more

GET THE BURGER We've been here on about 4 different occasions and the burger is cooked to PERFECTION every time we come. It doesn't matter what burger you get, but we get the ale house burger. The burger is always so tender, juicy, and flavorful . So much so, we come here just for the burger! And the servers we have gotten are always so nice and attentive. Hardly ever is it a long wait unless it's a busy day, and even then the service is still expectational. The whole vibe/ambiance of this restaurant is very laid back. Great place for a date night or going out with friends/family. But seriously, RUN don't walk and come get y'all a taste of this burger!! read more

My husband surprised us with wings while we were at home watching football. He ordered both bone-in and boneless wings in garlic Parmesan, teriyaki, and BBQ flavors. Unfortunately, the bone-in wings were tiny, dry, and over-fried, with very little garlic Parmesan flavor. The boneless wings were overly sauced and, again, over-fried. We might give this restaurant another try, but for now, we'll stick with Lynnwood Grill--they still have the best wings in town. read more

The Buffalo chicken baked potato was so good. I asked for light buffalo sauce because I wasn't sure how it would taste. It was perfect. The flavor, the chicken, veggies, etc. I love their menu. So many choices. My daughter ordered the steak baked potato. It was full of steak and cheese. Looked delicious. The server was a little slack but it was an hour before closing & she was cleaning. I understand when you're ready to go home but customer service comes first. We had to wait a few times for her to return to our table or ask another server for something. I'd definitely return for the food. read more

Ok so boom! It's Thanksgiving weekend and the mall is packed. Wait at Cheesecake Factory is 5 hours ! It's a group of 15 of us though so to be expected! This little gem is tucked away at one of the mall entrances. Only about a 15 min wait and that was for them to put the tables together and get everything situated. Sat down and our drink order was taken. 1. Ordered half sweet tea, half lemonade! I call it a Tiger Woods ! This was A1, perfect mix of pink lemonade and tea. 2. Ordered Seven Seas Martini. Standard martini drink nothing super spectacular. Drinks came out swiftly! Apps and food order was taken. 3. Ordered 8 Buffalo wings, hot lemon pepper with blue cheese! Bayyybeee these wings were IT! Cooked perfectly, sauced perfectly and just some good af wings. Blue cheese wasn't too chunky but paired with the wings well. BLUE CHEESE GOES WITH BUFFALO WINGS, BUT we're not ready for that conversation. 4. Ordered Southern Alehoise Burger I believe. Had BBQ sauce, aioli, bacon, cheese, LTO. The burger was cooked well and seasoned well. I opted to add an egg to my burger. This was the ONLY downfall of my meal. The egg is that of such you would get on an egg McMuffin. Not my style personally. Would have preferred an actual fried egg over med! However would return, hold the egg please! read more

The menu had very few choices if you don't like Greek and who goes to an ale house for Greek. Service was extremely slow ,especially considering how few people were there 20 minutes for a beer to be delivered after we ordered, 45 minutes for wings which we ended up getting to go since I was starving. Thank god for the food court. $35 for an order of wings and two drafts. Ambiance? Ha. read more

Excellent beer selection. Really good margarita pizza. Bartender is great! Good suggestions and friendly. I really enjoyed myself.

Food, drinks and service are great! Chris served us at the bar and he was absolutely amazing! Drinks were made strong and delicious and he made sure my water was always full since we were grubbing on very hot wings! We will be back! read more

Plenty of parking. Wonderful service. Great food and lots of drink choices. Will be back for sure.

I went to Crabtree Ale House at the advice of one of the sales associates in the mall. I was waiting to have a gift engraved and went downstairs to the Ale House to enjoy a drink while I waited. I seated myself at the bar and was waited on by the bartender immediately. I got a strawberry agave margarita, which was refreshing, sweet, and kind of on the small side, but packed a punch, so I nursed it along with a glass of ice water. I ordered the fried shrimp basket, which served as my meal, and I could barely get past a couple of the massive prawns they offered. They and the fries were perfection. The service was friendly, the ambience was typical sports bar, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'll definitely be back. read more

Good food and friendly staff! Their pizza oven does a great crunchy pizza and their burgers are always good!

The food was abysmal couldn't finish anything hard to even look at and the fact that I had to my whole dinner was terrible because there was no service what so ever to come and take our appetizers every plate was on the table after 3 corses we were served by everyone in there *at least 5 people I thought I would give this place a try because it has a similar name to one of my favorite restaurants Carolina ale house but no my experience was awful I strongly DO NOT RECOMMEND this restaurant and would stay as far away as possible also my meal was $70 and I barely even ate because the food was so bad. I strongly recommend CAROLINA ale house and not this knock off bs. read more

The place is great. Although in COVID times the seats were separate enough to enjoy the experience. The wings are crunchy and hot to order. My wife had the lamb shawarma and I took a few bites.

Great choice here. read more

Came here after work when in town on business. Average set up you would expect from a chain. Bartender was nice and after a slight wait brought me a beer. After looking at the menu which was nothing special, I decided to pass and go find something better for happy hour and dinner. Place may be ok as YMMV. I won't be back. read more
