Reviews for Ale Works in Bismarck, ND
Had a nice visit on the patio where the music was more quiet than inside. It was a Saturday afternoon and there was only one... other table and me. (Perfect, in my book.) Great food and efficient, friendly staff. I had the Dazy, which is a solid IPA. Read more

I go to breweries all over the country and I thoroughly enjoy craft beer especially sours and IPAs. I was thrilled with the... drinks here - I love BLU from New Ulm, MN and they had it on tap. I went upstairs to where the tap room was and tried some ofthe beers they make in-house - fantastic! The sours were really crisp and delicious with an ABV of 7.3%. That is terrific for asour. Downstairs where my Dad and I ate was pleasant with great wood tones throughout. The meatloaf sandwich was creative and SOgood. It was a sandwich that had to be eaten with a fork - that is how good it was. Beer cheese soup was world class and my Dadthoroughly enjoyed his prime rib sandwich. Great local spot to go. Read more
On a busy night, or big group got lucky and was accommodated. There were four adults, two teenagers, and two toddlers in our... group. The place?s vibe was amazing (see pictures). Our server, Brandi/y was amazing and was very much in control of everythingand everyone?s order. My bf and I ordered truffle fries as appetizer and shared it with everyone - it was delicious andflavorful and perfect temperature when served although the serving of the holandaise sauce that came with it was so small (weended up ordering extra but was charged extra). For our main orders, we had The Southerner (with BBQ sauce) and pickles on theside, Jaeger Schnitzel, and beer cheese. Beer cheese was alright but the side bread served with it was too small and again whenwe requested if we may ask for just an extra (additional charge again to which we just declined). The Jaeger Schnitzel wasamazing and perfectly cooked. We didn?t finish it but not because we didn?t want to, just full from fries. The Southerner was abit disappointing overall - the pork cutlet will remind you of Japanese pork tonkatsu especially if you choose BBQ sauce (whichwe did) between toasted loaf bread. Cutlet was cooked well and tasted awesome but partnered with bread and everything else, itwas too greasy. Service was better than average. Ambiance was amazing. Overall, food and experience was above average but theminor requests being turned down was kind of a bit disappointing. Would still probably be back and/or recommend to others. Totalof our order including drinks (2 ginger beers for me) and one beer is about 79$. Read more
During our visit to Bismarck this was maybe our favorite place. We visited for lunch on a Thursday. It wasn't super busy. The... atmosphere is really nice and upscale for the area but very comfortable. The food was excellent. I have Celiac Disease sogluten free options are always appreciated. I had the AW Cheeseburger with a GF bun and a salad. The GF bun was THE BEST I haveever had. It was soft, fresh and delicious. In most restaurants, GF busn are so chewy or hard they are inedible. The greens onthe salad were amazingly fresh. My husband got the Meatloaf Sandwich. It was delicious. We shared a side of fries and I'm soglad we ordered them because they were amazing!! Aaron was our server and I can't say enough good things about the serviceprovided by this young man. It only added to a fantastic dining experience. Read more
A very enjoyable visit! The building is very inviting and welcoming, and the service is exemplary! My wife and I found this... place on google and decided to try it, and we?re glad we did. I had the Jaeger Schnitzel, and it was one of the best I have everhad! The red cabbage was perfect, sweet yet tart in the way it should be. The Spätzle was great, not too dry, and not too wet,and seasoned expertly. The Walleye fish and chips was amazing Crispy on the outside and moist and tender inside. The fish wasseasoned great as was the breading, A Party in Your Mouth! I also want to thank our waitress Brandi, We never wanted foranything! A great experience! Read more
We finally were in Bismarck when they were open! The food selection was diverse with both spicy and just flavorful options. They... have a nice variety of beer selections to choose from that pares well with the food. The atmosphere was inviting. The servicewas slow as they are struggling to hire enough d/t Covid-19 but they posted a sign relivant to this before we were seated. Ourserver was pleasant though she was obviously busy. We plan to go again sometime. Read more
Alma was our waitress and was excellent! We had the smoked wings with buffalo sauce, the Hanger Meat meal, the stuffed... spinach/artichoke chicken and the apple hand pie. The Hanger Meat was excellent and cooked to perfection. The stuffed chickenwas a little dry and salty. The smoked wings were good and the apple hand pie was excellent. Could?ve warned us about a 4% extracharge for using a credit card to pay. Very nice atmosphere. Overall, we?d recommend and would come back. Read more
