Great place with an outdoor patio that you can bring your pup too! I had 1/2 crab melt and Caesar salad. My husband had the Prime Rib Dip (Saturday only). Staff is friendly & place had a good vibe. read more

I'll just say this in general. Since the last chef left, the place has gone down hill. I used to come here at least once a week. The food was always consistent and good. Now? It's hardly seasoned. The bar area used to be fun and packed with locals. Now there's no one to be found. The bar tenders seem to care less. When there's three customers in the bar? Why would it take 20 minutes to approach you? Take your order? I haven't seen the owner in quite some time. She might want to consider visiting once in a while. I think they had a nice bar manager for a while, but I haven't seen him. And, who I'm assuming is the new chef? Long beard that's held up by a net? ICK. He's ALWAYS outside smoking. Now his arm is broken? On TOP of the hair net? ‍ I'm just gonna take a break and hope someone figures it out..... read more

In the quaint little town of Kingston there are a handful of eateries. We decided to try the Kingston Ale House. There is a small bar area when you first walk in and a very small indoor dining area in the back. There is also a nice outdoor patio seating area in the back but unfortunately there were no tables available when we arrived so we opted to sit in the dining room section. I ordered the half crab melt sandwich and a cup of their clam and mussel chowder and my husband ordered the crab melt. Both were very delicious and hit the spot. read more

Came here solo on a Sunday evening and couldn't recommend more! The vibe is chill, the service is great, the food is perfect. The bacon cheeseburger on a gluten free bun was super yummy and the fries are done WELL, could kill any craving! The bun didn't crumble at all - gluten free friends know the height of this compliment. I also got a Ghostfish grapefruit IPA - would recommend anywhere (a delicious WA gluten free brewery). And Adam was so attentive and made me feel special referring to me by name the whole night. Thanks KAH!! read more

Fish and chips were decent, although the chips were a bit soggy and not crispy like I was expecting. The other dishes were just ok too. I did like the sesame ginger slaw that came with the fish and chips, that was a unique touch. Portion sizes were unfortunately small for what you're paying ($22 for 2pc, $28 for 3pc at time of writing). Be warned that they also charge a 3% credit card fee which can add up to quite a bit if you rack up a large bill. The young lady with the blue/purple hair is very friendly and made our experience better. Decent option if you're in a rush to grab dinner before catching the ferry but we'd likely try somewhere else next time we're in Kingston. read more

Took the ferry over to see what was there not much but found this little "ale house" was cute had a 90's theme going on while we were there. Ate at the bar asked for a local blonde/light beer and they gave us 805 (that's not local) but the food was good. read more

Fresh reasonable dolewhip with fun flavors and toppings. I tried the orange pineapple swirl which was so good. Reminded me of a cactus cooler. If you like dole whip, run here! It's legit! read more

Best restaurant in Kingston. Very friendly service. Easy to walk to from the dock and cozy atmosphere.

We had dinner with family after coming across on the ferry on a Sunday at noon. The Ale House was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. We called for a reservation and sat right down. Although it was pretty full, the service was first rate, and food was very good. I enjoyed the Halibut sadwich and Smoked Salmon Chowder--delicious! Our whole family enjoyed the lunch. Will definitely go again! read more

Fast service (which is great if you're catching a ferry). Friendly staff. Cozy ambiance. The clam chowder was amazing. Crab sandwich was tasty, but could have been warmer. read more

Can't say enough positive about this restaurant. The food is delicious, the service excellent. A shout out to Michael.

Portions and quality of food were lacking. Also did not feel very welcome. My friend ordered the beet salad which came out with only 3 slices of beets. The prices did not match the food. read more

Had lunch on the patio with my daughter and granddaughters 4 and 7. It was sunny and really nice out and once again this place did not disappoint! Friendly efficient service and great food including the kids meals served with lovely fresh fruit. I had the steak skewers with chimichurri sauce and it was cooked perfectly! Everyone was happy. It's a really nice spot to land and an easy walk from the Edmonds ferry. read more

I read the reviews and had high hopes. Ordered was the halibut n chips and salmon chowder. Although not terrible, the salmon chatter tasted a bit imbalanced with more potatoes than salmon taste. The first piece of halibut was a touch dry, but acceptable. The second was not. It was overcooked with a matte texture; not the glossy appearance of a fresh, well cooked piece of fish. Fries were soggy. Disappointing. read more

What a cool local bar with great food. My friend and I were walking the tiny downtown of Kingston, looking for a place to take a break and have a bite to eat. The Alehouse caught our eye and we stepped in, being greeted by Mike, the manager, who took fine care of us as we had cocktails and dinner. A excellent manhattan, salmon chowder (a house specialty) and crab stuffed mushrooms... everything was perfect. Rounding it all off is the atmosphere. A wooden bar stocked with bottles of liquors from here and gone, mirrors behind, chandelier lights not too dark, not too bright, very comfortable local pub feel. I hear there's karaoke on the weekends... might have to come back for that. A neat spot to stop and chill for a while, enjoy the mood and some really good food. read more

Just generally good food. Great burgers. Everything I've had there has been good. Service was good, too.

Fantastic food and great staff. The food came out in a timely manner and lived up to the recommendations. 10/10 can't recommend it enough! read more

So so food wise. But one of the few places in this town that's open later which I greatly appreciate. Great ambience - exactly what you would expect from an ale house. They also have karaoke and trivia nights which is super cool. Service was good, very friendly. Their award winning chowder was a bit overrated. (Stick with Ivar's smoked salmon chowder!). Also the Caesar dressing tasted like straight up mayo. By far the worst dressing I've ever had which is surprising because Caesar dressings tend to be pretty easy to make and I am not that particular about them. The other dishes people got looked okay but not mind blowing. read more

Great service, lovely setting near harbor. Delicious lemon clams, but a bit sandy in a few. Halibut street tacos good but raw corn tortillas and not much fish. Tasty slaw read more

Food was good, service was friendly, bar drinks were reasonably priced. We go here at least once every time we travel there to see my Daughter. read more

Used to love their food. Something has changed. Paid $18 for a spinach salad that was so small it looked like a side salad, plus $10 (!!!!) extra for 4 oz of chicken. $28 for a tiny salad is just nuts. The server (bartender) messed up my drink with no apology or offer to fix or comp. Really nice people in general but the goofs and prices are over the top. read more

My husband and I came in for a late night bite. We both decided to try different burgers, he did the bacon blue and I did the smoked Beechers. Both were phenomenal! The Beechers was a little greasy I'm thinking from the caramelized onions but it was still fantastic. My husband rated his burger 9.7/10 - we would both order these again. You must get a side of tartar sauce - it is the best tartar sauce either of us have had. read more

This is a great restaurant!!! Incredible service, great cocktails and great food. I had the Ahi Poke bowl - delish!

We were told this was a great place for smoke Ahi but I chose dress local steamed clams and a Bitchen' beer that is also local. It was a good pairing! I like the feel of the place and although John took his time deciding the distinguished derby wearing server was patient and kind. The clams were wonderful and I loved the lemon that had been cooked with them. Nice touch! read more

They have 10$ fries with a bunch of bs on them, I asked if they had a side of fries with non of that a they said yes, my fries cost 10$ naked for clearly from a frozen bag fries, asked for a house red and it 15$ a glass 45$ for a side a of fries a 2 glasses of red wine... nice people but not very clear on their menu and pricing, I'd say go but just very clear on what you want.. happy eating read more

One experience was more than enough. My husband and I ordered meals right at the $18-20 price tag with two cherry cokes no ice, but we still had ice in our drinks. My husband asked for shredded cheese for his salad. It wasn't until we got the receipt and saw the total was over $60. We were legitimately confused. When we asked for the itemized bill to check how that total came to be, we saw that a ramekin of cheese- $3.00. That's just flat out asinine. ONLY THEN was it explained that the grenadine is what made EACH soda $4.00 ($16.00 for two sodas). Equally asinine. The food was almost as good as Panera, which is just a national chain of hospital food. It certainly was not worth the nickel and dime'ing price tag. read more

Heads up, if you show up at 7:30pm and they close at 8:00, they will turn you away. Fortunately the Filling Station let us eat there .

Our first time visiting this little gem in Kingston. We arrived with a party of 5 and were added to the list. The hostess took our number and said she would call when our table was ready. We took the opportunity to visit some other shops in Kingston while we waited Unfortunately, they forgot to call us. This is the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars. After a bit we walked back to see what was up and were promptly seated with apologies for the oversight. Our food was quite tasty. We had fish and chips, crab cakes, a lovely salad and one of the daily specials with scallops. The scallops were excellent and everything else was quite tasty. When left to get dessert down the road and then went back after our friends caught the ferry back to Edmond's. The highlight of the evening was being welcomed back into the Ale House to finish watching the Mariners win the American League West division title. Everyone in the restaurant were rooting for the home team. It was a positive and exciting vibe all around. They were happy to just get us some water and let us watch history in the making. It was a great night all around. read more

Great food, friendly service, casual and comfortable atmosphere. Has that "locals dine here" vibe which is ALWAYS a good sign. We have dined here twice, first time I ordered the scallops which were seared to perfection and tonight I ordered the street tacos with Halibut and they were amazing. Eat here you wont be disappointed. If you sit on the outside patio and happen to get the middle table there a bit of a view of downtown Seattle and Mt Rainier. read more

Good tap list. Lots of seating. Decent bar food. The wait staff were all helpful. What more do you need?

We stopped in here this summer on a backpacking trip while waiting for the ferry and found it to be the perfect spot to wait and nom. We were able to get seated on their nice outdoor patio and enjoyed the summer weather and the view of the water. Our server was really helpful and addressed my questions on the menu. Their menu has gluten free designations making it pretty easy to find delicious noms sans gluten. We started with the nachos which were ok but probably wouldn't get them again. I had the stuffed mushrooms which were quite delicious and the husband was in love when he saw they had French dip sandwiches. He enjoyed his lunch immensely. We finished up with a flourless gluten free chocolate cake cause hey we were going backpacking and calories don't count on those weekends. All in all it was a nice little place. We had some things we loved and a couple we wouldn't get again, but there are so many delicious sounding items to choose from on the menu we look forward to returning and trying new things! read more

We've been here several times. The food is OK. It's not great, it's not terrible. It's just OK. The kitchen is loud with lots of banging, calling orders and the chef calling for help. What really catches my attention is the lack of cleanliness. From our table, I could see the kitchen. The overhead vents were greasy and fuzzy. It looks like they haven't been cleaned in a long time. The dining room smelled of fried food. While waiting in line for the restroom, I could see part of the kitchen from the open doorway. Onions were being stored on the floor. EWW. If this is what customers can see, just think what we can't see. Thanks, but no thanks. read more

My family has eaten here dozens of times, and usually it's a good experience. The food is good, and the location is convenient. However, I've noticed every time I come alone, I'm greeted and leave feeling as if providing an enjoyable dining experience for a solitary human is the last thing on the staff's priority list. For an establishment I've supported for over 8 years, today's service was the bare minimum of human courtesy and a tragic, but familiar, disappointment. read more

Ate here in July, just after getting off the Edmonds/Kingston Ferry. We were able to get a table by being one of the first off the ferry. SO worth it. I had the crab cakes, and my daughter had the 1/2 soup 1/2 crab melt combo. So, so good. A gem, def worth it!! read more

I definitely recommend The Kingston Ale House for a perfect lunch! I walked onto the ferry from Edmonds to enjoy a few hours in Kingston and stopped here to try. Their service is fast, so it's also a great option if you have a longer wait for the Kingston ferry. Their food is great and they have a lovely selection of cocktails. I HIGHLY recommend their fish and chips. It was a perfect portion, the coleslaw was amazing, and their fries have a nice salt to them. Ask to sit outside for the breezy seaside setting. read more

Love the Kingston Ale House! They have a lovely shaded deck for the summer, and a nice interior dining area for the rest of the year. The menu is extensive enough to please a variety of friends and guests, and we don't get tired of it with repeat visits. The food is consistently tasty and prepared as ordered. They have a great beer menu and a sold wine selection. The staff can get busy (which speaks to the KAH's success), but they always remain pleasant and helpful. It is walking distance from the ferry, the waterfront, and nestled in the midst of downtown Kingston. For all those reasons and more, KAH is a favorite of ours!! read more

The food here when we eat in is always delicious and well made and has solid portions sizes but I give it 3/5 stars because the last few times we've ordered take out it feels like we were scammed with the portion size and I'm honestly tired of restaurants doing that because they know it's much harder for someone to come back and complain. I ordered a mushroom burger which was delicious but also a $14 beet salad that looked like it barely cost them $2 to make! I didn't even get a full beet on the salad. Last time I had this same salad in my take out order it was also smaller compared to the times I've had it in house but this particular order was straight up unacceptable. Really disappointed in Ale House for selling this as a $14 salad (apple for scale!) read more
