Ale's Steakhouse & Bar, Ridgecrest CA

Hits the spot…. As long as you want a margarita and large portions.

Cheese curds saved the day

First time visiting Ale's Steakhouse & Bar, it was for a company dinner. They were able to accommodate the large party. As an appetizer we had the calamari and corn nuggets. I highly recommend trying the corn nuggets, the jalapeño ranch is spicy so ranch is a good substitute for those with spicy tolerance. Got a western style bacon burger. It was epic in size and delicious. The servers were attractive but not overwhelming. I will definitely visit this establishment again soon.

When you routinely run out of Prime Rib by 6: 15 p.m. Every Friday evening, maybe you should consider making more Prime Rib? ‍️ Obviously, the demand exceeds your current supply. Just a suggestion.

Delicious! I'm always pleased when we go out to dinner at ales steak house. They never disappoint!

Awesome ribeyes here. This place gets loud and crowded but our service is always excellent!

I’ve been here several times and it’s pretty grim every time unfortunately. Tonight just took the cake though. The menu is so confusing with its weirdly repetitive ingredients and “unique takes” on dishes such as the “club” sandwich. Which apparently is just a grilled chicken sandwich on a bun? Mind you, the other sandwiches that come on buns are specified in the menu. Felt like I had to unhinge my jaw to eat it when I looked at it. But that’s when I realized that the photo of a club on the menu looked nothing like what I received. After some convincing on my boyfriends part, our waitress agreed to have it made into something that more resembled a club sandwich. And also to make sure that my fries were warm this time around; since they weren’t the first time they arrived. My new club arrived looking more like that I expected, although it was missing the avocado it was supposed to come with, and came with onions -for the 2nd time- which I said I didn’t want. After the 15 or so minute wait to have it remade, I was just disappointed so I asked for a box and took it home. I’m not even sure it’s gonna get eaten, it was just sad looking and tasting and the chicken is dry. So that on top of the overpriced-partially empty $11 jalapeño poppers, made us decide to stop giving this place anymore chances. I don’t blame the waitstaff and honestly I don’t even blame the cooks, this feels very much like an issue with the management and how kitchen staff is trained to do things. Also an issue with the owners and their choices to make this place so abysmal and the food options so tasteless. $70+ meals shouldn’t be this disappointing.

This is our favorite place to go here in Ridgecrest and only 2 minutes away! I can't help myself when we go, but to order their Steak Salad to go.and their Rib Eye Steak Dinner ️*see, I know I won't be able to finish all of this as it's just so very much food, and for such a minimal amount! You've got to go there!

The food was delicious, the chicken sandwich was a full checken breast, the service was fair. It was a unique place to visit in Ridgecrest and recommend stopping g in. It may have been an off night for our servers.

Great restaurant. I left my phone tho. Would there be any way for you to help me? I am leaving to San Diego today and the restaurant is closed.

We had a really nice meal. Affordable prices, neighborhood grill + bar feel. Clean and the service was quick and efficient. We got exactly what we ordered and it was very tasty. I had the ribeye and it was tender and cooked slightly up from the ordered med rare. Everyone was pleased & the cheesecake dessert was a hit.

Filet and lobster were both cooked perfectly with very good flavor. Server was attentive and polite. Oysters were fresh and good quality. Fairly priced.

Every staff member I met was absolutely great. Very helpful and courteous. From the hostess that greeted me to the person taking my order and even the bartender was extremely friendly. This was on a fairly busy night as well.
The food was on point. My steak had a perfect, exactly the temperature I asked for.
They have excellent, homemade mashed potatoes and even the salad was perfect and crispy.
I will definitely be visiting again.

Very popular locally owned and operated eatery!

We were here recently for a lunch with some other local church leaders. I usually stick with a burger or sandwich, which are always good. But this time the Fajita Trio - steak, chicken, & shrimp - looked like a good choice to try.
I was not disappointed! It was cooked to perfection and there was enough for take home and a second meal.
Food is good, atmosphere is ok, staff is friendly and accommodating.

They don't care about the quality of the food they serve as long as they get your money. Letters to management about problems are ignored

Excellent food and service as always. The vegetables in my salad were so fresh and tasty.
The steak and breaded shrimp were excellent. Tender flavorful steak and shrimp were not overcooked. This is probably the best place in town to eat.

Worst experience ever! Sandy the interim manager was so rude she ripped our receipt when we requested it. We tried to share with her our disappointment in the meal and service and she said “nothing seems to please you tonight”. WOW. I was so dumbfounded I had to leave. Our service was poor, three of the dinners were delivered while we waited 15 minutes for the fourth. The steak was tough even though it was ordered rare. The baked potatoes were microwaved and we really expected more, Sandy, was a greater disappointment with her attitude. I would have tipped our waitress but Sandi was so insulting I zeroed out the tip.

Common guys, my Philly Cheesesteak and Chicken were just medium quality food, that belongs to a foodchain not a steakhouse, sorry.
The server made a good job!

Their open and very busy.
Still fairly easy seating.
Got my prime rib,?
