Carolina Ale House Summerville

We dined inside the restaurant, and the noise level was quite high in the bar area, which is typical for this place. The menu consisted of typical bar/pub food such as nachos, fried dishes, sandwiches, salads, and more. There were plenty of TVs to watch in the spacious bar area, and there was also a large covered outdoor seating area.

THE FOOD WAS BURNED THE SALAD WAS MOSTLY STALKS ! IT TOOK 2 HOURS TO GET IT AT 5PM. THEY WERE NOT EVEN CROWDED.WE ORDERED AS SOON AS WE ARRIVED BUT SUPPER TOOK UNTIL 7PM TO GET TO THE TABLE !!THE SALMON WAS BURNED BLACK EVEN THOUGH THE WAITRESS ASKED HOW I'D LIKE IT PREPARED WHICH WAS MEDIUM TO RARE! I LEFT VERY HUNGRY AND TOTALLY UNHAPPY WITH THE AMOUNT I HAD TO PAY FOR NOTHING EDIBLE!! I DON'T MIND PAYING FOR FOOD IF THERE IS ACTUALLY FOOD THERE BUT WHAT I RECEIVED WAS NOT WHAT I ORDERED!! I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!

I ordered the zingers and we shared the fried pickles and pretzel sticks appetizers. Everything was excellent, much better than typical bar food. Our server was fantastic, very attentive. The food arrived quickly and was prepared exactly as we had requested.

Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food is average at most. The beer selection is very good. If you’re looking for a chill atmosphere with good beer this is decent option. Just don’t expect the food to be anything special.

If this place just served appetizers and drinks it would be five stars. Spin dip and all of our drinks were great. The main entree food we got all around was pretty awful. Ribeye was super thin and definitely not cooked to medium rare. Server saw it and ignored it (I got the impression they were pretty aware of how bad the entree food quality was). Mashed potatoes were literally crumbling from how dry they were. Similar issues with the other entrees ordered on quality and taste. For the price it definitely should have been better. Would go here again if passing through for spin dip and drinks but wouldn’t order food unless it’s priced for the microwave quality it appeared to be.
