Carolina Ale House is a great restaurant to pop in for food or to spend a couple of hours there watching the game. The food & drink menus have a large variety of delicious options. There's plenty of seating and even pool tables available to enjoy.

We were in TN for a few days and decided to stop here. The food was great and our waitress was so friendly! I'd recommend stopping here if you're in town.

This place was great! We went on Monday night for the singo around 7 and it was so fun. I would highly recommend checking this place out. On top of that, the food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

I was visiting my grandmother from out of town when I had heard great things from the neighbors about this place, so me and my boyfriend had decided to stop by. AND MY GOD! Was I blown away. As soon as we sat down we were greeted promptly by a server named Lauren. She was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable And even though she was a little busy she never never made us feel neglected but instead gave us a memorable experience! She recommended the pub burger and the fries and the burger was cooked to perfection! And blue moon which was on special. Me and my boyfriend will be back!

Carolina ale house has become a regular place for me and my hubby to pop into, everyone is always so nice and attentive. But last week I had an interaction with Anneliese as our server and she quickly became our favorite. She was on point with giving suggestions from the menu, attentive and really sweet/fun to talk to! I even asked her what days she normally works so she can always be our server!

This is one of our favorite places to eat. Never been disappointed with the food and we have always had excellent service. Very friendly staff everything is always fresh and hot. Plus they are open till 2:00 a.m. if you can't get out till late. Most excellent ribs. And I really hope they bring their jalapeno Chipotle burger back. My stepdad and I agree best burger with ever had.

Review is based off of service. We received excellent service from Tony as we sat at the bar. Great atmosphere and any game you want to watch on. The spinach dip is to die for, so delicious. However, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich is not it. It 100% is not a “Nashville” style…. More like a buffalo. The fried chicken Alfredo does not have any flavor, very bland, but filled with onions and the taste of onions overpowers the entree.

This is my go to spot for good food and a cold beer! Tara is hands down one of the best bartenders in Knoxville! She takes time to answer any questions I might have about a new beer and makes sure any special requests I have are taken care of. Cannot recommend this place enough—make sure and see Tara!
