Food is consistently good and great selection. Staff are friendly and attentive. Overall great place.
Great place, great food, great service! We love it at Blue Ale!
Our server was excellent. Very personable and attentive. It was a little cold in the restaurant on this particular night. But overall everything was excellent.
BEST mussels anywhere! Terrific service.
I had never been to the restaurant before. I enjoyed the ambiance with all the sports on the TVs. I also liked that it wasn’t just a loud mix of all the TVs; you could have a conversation with no issues.
Beautiful ambiance, great food, and friendly service. Our waitress was Julia and she did an outstanding job. Will definitely be going back back! Highly recommend the lobster risotto
Great food and atmosphere! A fun local place to take the family!
Food was awesome. Server was nice, polite and professional. However He forgot to bring flatware and napkins. Other than that, we never felt neglected.
My waitress Katie was amazing ! Excellent service , the food was nice and hot and delicious. The wings are amazing and so was the cucumber martini, will definitely revisit.
Great staff and service kitchen needs some improvement
Always a traffic experience. Great food. Wonderful service.
I love Blu Alehouse and used to come once or twice a week when I lived closer. The other night I ordered Short rib and the portion of meat was half of what it used to be and it was also cold. I received more mashed potatoes than meat and have never received room temperature food from here before. I was very disappointed, but it still tasted great.
Food is consistently delicious and service is outstanding.
Food, environment, and service were great. Definitely recommend the nachos. Great place to watch football or any sports.
The restaurant has an open format...not really very interesting. The food was average, nothing special.
It’s not expensive, but not special either
Very solid food and outstanding draft beer list. The nachos were very solid with cheese completely melted (a big pet peeve of mine is cheese not completely melted). The ahi tuna app was outstanding. My daughter’s burger and my bison burger were both very good and the old bay fries are great! Highly recommend for a sports bar atmosphere with very good food. Also, our waiter Zach was extremely friendly and attentive.
1 hour to get food. Forgot appetizers and brought dinners. Management made tons of excuses instead of owning the mistake and blamed us as the customers. Also it was definitely above capacity restrictions due to Covid. Will not be returning.
Less ipa’s on tap. Need more selection of different styles.
Always great service, good food and always nicely greeted by the manager. Love the selection of beers on tap.
Service and food were awesome
Made a reservation just to be told they wouldn’t seat us when we got there, was frustrated Bc I was hungry but besides that great place excellent bar tenders and servers
Everything was Excellent as always!
Can’t wait till the next dinner.
Always a great time. Peach tea lemonade is our favorite.
Table was ready when we arrived. Food and service was excellent.
Little chilly the heater lamp went out and no propane filled for awhile but the server was great and we had a nice time
Solid place to catch up with friends or family. Food was tasty and well priced. A great value for the amount of food. Covid set up was not the best inside but outside seating was available. Will comes again.
Outdoor tent and heaters available! Nice varied menu but was disappointed with substitutions made on my favorite Korean bbq salad.
Our dinners were good but not really special. I had the blu shrimp which is a house specialty. I thought it was a bit bland. The portion size was good. Atmosphere is nice, especially if you like watching sports- we had about 10 screens for our seats.
Great meal, great service! The ahi tuna entree was wonderful, as were the mussels.
While our waitress was great, we waited a long time for things to come out of the kitchen on a not so busy day/time. I loved my shrimp appetizer but hubby felt the egg rolls were chewy and possible microwaved.
Dinner was simple blue salad with steak so I loved it. However son got rack of lamb and felt it was just OK with little to no flavor and he preferred the mashed potatoes it came atop. Hubby said his burger was average
Sadly overall was a but disappointed. Past times were much better with food. The kabobs still are really great and the discounted shrimp and pasta dinner were favorites.
The server was very attentive and polite. The food was delicious. The owner even stopped by to say hello.
Great food and service! Always a pleasure to go there
Blu Alehouse NEVER disappoints! Superb food: Their thick pork chop is juicy and fork tender; their drunken sailor mussels are plump and full (albeit a bit saltier than I'd like); and their sides are outstanding. Service is always attentive - but never intrusive.
Excellent place for Date Night. Fun atmosphere, good food, and excellent service. Also a Great Beer Menu.
veggie burger came out as a tuna burger then had to wait another 15 minutes to get the right order . had to speak to the manager to staighten this out. two other waitresses were of no help . he took the price of the meal off the bill but the we were charged for a full bottle of wine when we got the bill my wife had one glass. then they gave us a around of drinks but this still doesn't make up for the lack of follow up on the original waitresses part . at this point we will not be going back for awhile they need to get their act together . I think they need more comprehensive training maybe write the orders down instead of trying to remember them because thats not working for sure . at this point i will not recommend going
The food was delicious! The muscles were as good as I had anywhere! The 12 oz pork chop was thick and juicy. The fried calamari was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. And the shrimp po boy was one of the best sandwiches we've ever had. Thanks to the outstanding service, the experience was superb.
Always consistent the food is always good but sometimes the drinks are not consistent I guess different bartenders make drinks different ways
Nice place for a relaxing meal. Food and drinks are good and service is terrible
I went there for dinner with my Girlfriend on a Sunday evening at 6:30. The food and service was excellent. I had the 6 oz. filet with mashed potatoes and my girlfriend had the grilled chicken sandwich.
We chose outdoor dining and ate under the White Tent adjacent to the Restaurant. I would definitely recommend Blu Alehouse.
Had a wonderful double date here. The service was fast and food was of good quality.
