We tried this place through the recommendation of my sister-in-law and were really pleased. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and assisted by a great team of staff members. The place was busy and bustling, and had a cool, comfortable, warm vibe.
We definitely enjoyed our food which came out in no time, were sizable portions, and delicious. This included the eggplant tower, cheeseburger and fries, margherita pizza, fish and chips, pulled pork sandwich, and brussel sprouts. The beer (Angry Orchard) my husband ordered to accompany his meal was only $5!
A place to add to your list if you happen to be in the area.

Very delicious food in a nice atmosphere! Red Brick Ale House was a nice place to grab a bite later in the night. The bar area was large and packed. The dining area was huge and packed but the tables were nicely spaced apart so it wasn’t cramped. The lady that was signing in the restaurant on the night we visited had the place rocking and was enjoyable listening to her beautiful voice. The service was attentive and friendly and the food was fantastic! I would definitely recommend stopping in this place at night!

I have eaten here over a dozen times and every time its great. I have sat at a table and the bar. Service is great no matter where you sit. I have ordered my way through most of the entrees and not once was I disappointed. The food is top tier and come out quickly. If you order an entree that comes with a side salad make sure you specify what dressing you want because they really want to bring you balsamic.

We enjoyed our dinner here, and would come back. The Brussel prouts was mostly the loose leaves, like not a lot of the actual entire Brussel sprout but tasted good. The burger was cooked to order , the fries were perfect, and the pizza was good as well. I’d come back, but I think I’d order the pizza well done so that the bottom has some char to it.

Got a $13 dollar container of buffalo chicken dip it was HALF FULL never has it been half full. I go and talk to the “supervisor” calmly and said this isn’t right yes it is I don’t know if you have a job but there are rules and yelling at me. Says that they put it in a serving dish and put it in the container I’ve eaten in and the serving container is about the same size as to go container and then she slams the register open and goes you want your money back ? I advise you go here and drink to get through that disrespect in my job I’m pretty sure there is rules about being professional and respectful to absolutely disgusted $13!!! For this is insane!!!

Had just left the Cape May Ferry heading home. First time @ the Ale House, nice atmosphere, the waitress i believe her name was Megan, was very nice. Ordered the Pulled Pork Special and my wife had the salad bowl. The pulled pork sandwich was very good, just the right amount of BBQ sauce not too much not too dry. homemade potatochips were good just right, wife said the bowl was very good. Overall good stop. Recommend for good food, and good service.

I ordered a Chicken Caesar salad for pick up, spent $18 and it was the size of side salad with 3 small pieces of chicken. Wasn't the best either. Very disappointed. It is normally a very good restaurant with good food. It wasn't busy at the time either which is shocking. No excuse for the size and quality of this salad.

This is a really great atmosphere and awesome menu choices! We went for supper and really enjoyed our time there. There was a great Valentine’s drink menu - which had a delicious selection. We enjoyed the calamari and spinach artichoke dip while we waited for our entrees. The meal choices can range from handhelds to a nice plated meal. Highly recommend.
