Carolina Ale House - Durham

Either one of the descriptions mentions capers,tomatoe based sauce with the shrimp pasta or how small my portion were going to be for the price that I just paid. Very disappointing!! None of what was described on the shrimp pasta is correct!!

Pasta was cold uncooked untasted never seen spinach in Alfredo pasta taste pure green shrimp to many paper and salt added was old nasty smell horrible regretted.... chicken wing salty cold old just horrible

Service was ok considering they just opened. My only complaint was I ordered a shrimp po boy and it was way too much bread and lettuce. The sandwich had only 6 shrimp so either more shrimp or smaller hoagie roll. I attached a pic of how much bread I had left from the po boy.

Mediocre at best in all regards. Service pretty bad, food kind of poor. Yes, it was 2 pm on Sunday, but they are also open for business and ready to serve. Sat at the bar and the bartender was in charge of the handful of people at the bar (3 parties including my own) as well as 2 tables that were sat for her. Had to ask several times for water to accompany the beer ordered and it wasn't until halfway through our meal and second beer that she audibly remembered to get them for us. I ordered the sourdough patty melt. Wish I had taken a picture. Presentation was an attempt to be fancy, but unnecessary and entirely dysfunctional. The sandwich was cut in half and skewered with a foot long skewer and the pickles on top. The burger had slid out of the top half which all in all didn't matter since I had to take the patty melt apart to apply the pickles that come with it. Inconvenient since it includes melted cheese on both sides. Bread was hardly toasted, no color at all. By the end, it was just soggy with the burgers juices and the butter it was soaked in. Would recommend pretty much anywhere else if looking for a burger and beer while sports are playing on a few dozen TVs.

I am a more frequent visitor of this facility, as it is very convenient for my secular work. I never had a problem with the personal or restaurant. I usually return because of the resistance of food and personal. in particular the head-bartender (heather,) which helps to monitor dinge, keeps definitiw dinge moving like a well-oiled machine. her service is top notch! the fact that she is attentive while she is still busy is a remarkable advantage for a great bartender! good beer, good wing and great service. what more can they demand?
