Reviews for Straight to Ale in Huntsville, AL
Had the bar b q smokestack two weeks ago and it was great except for one strip of overcooked bacon. Today, one server was... trying to wait on 11 at the bar plus 4 tables. Two groups left from the tables before being served. Maybe it was shift time? Mysandwich today had half the pork as the one last time, a piece of burned bacon and a big pile of fun yums or onion flavoredfried dough on top. The fries were mostly little gibbles. A pint of beer is double the cost of their canned at the grocerystore. My $21 (before tip) beer and bar b q was just not worth the time or money it cost me today. It makes me hesitant to goback.

4 in our group. We went to sit at a long high top table to play tabletop games while we sat and ate, and the server asked us to... relocate even though there was absolutely no demand for tables (see picture). Shortly after a party of two took the table. Thenthey were out of pretzels. As a previous restaurant manager that ordered product, it?s not that hard to order an appropriateamount to not run out of food but also not run food costs up. Lastly, one of our party members ordered the Inventory IPA and itwas awful. We smartly ordered nothing else and got out of there. Very disappointed in our experience. Read more
The place is great! I love to see the creativity of making a school gym into a brewery. Food was good. I had the Asian Salad... with chicken and my husband had the wings and fries. I enjoyed both ????????. He didn't care much for the flavor he added tothe wings. It was their own version of Buffalo sauce and it tasted very garlicky and had some spice. Which I like both but hedoesn't so he ate the salad and I ate the wings ????????. The have lots of beers to choose from and maybe next time I won't beon the clock and I'll be able to try a few. You definitely have to stop and try this place and give yourself time to walkaround, it's pretty cool! Read more
The foods I've tried have been hit or miss. The beers are good if you like trying odd combinations. Most worth trying once but... not a regular drinker yet... Usually busy and service varies based on how busy it is. Read more
The cheese curds were so good! The bistro burger was disappointing. It really didn't have a lot of flavor. It needed more sauce... or more onions. The home made fries were really good. Our server was very attentive. Read more
We tried the bacon wrapped pretzel bites and these are a must!! It was such a unique combination and the cheese dip really... topped off the whole experience. You must give this appetizer a try. I had the Bistro Burger this burger was tasty and cookedexactly how I asked. I loved the crunchy onion straws and the signature Bistro Sauce took this burger to the next level. Theirfries are really crispy and seem to be cut in house and you must try them. My partner had the Hamburghini, he loved it! It was abig burger and could not be finished in one sitting. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed which made foran enjoyable experience. I will say they do not have a hostess seating tables and as a party of 2 there was only an 8 topavailable for us to sit at. I think they could really benefit from a hostess as we ended up splitting our table with a party of12 or so. Even at a neighboring 6 stop table a couple had sat there and a man tried to ensure he got the table after them forhis party of 6. Everyone seemed friendly about the whole awkward seating situation, but the restaurant should be heading up thatduty not the customer. Read more
HSV MUST! Best selection/variety. Excellent quality & flavor. Great prices & portions on everything. Indoor, outdoor, & covered... seating. Back bar & our server were both perfect on date night. Very cool to be able to go inside brewing area. Read more
The beers are good and really good. The food is excellent (The Smokehouse, pictured), the fries are old school, cut here and... well done. The combination makes a 5 star experience. Read more
