Sunday lunchtime, empty. Took 30 min for food. Extra charge to have ranch or blue cheese with a full wing order. Keep giving this place a second chance but Bottoms up is far superior. Server was great, bartender was outside doing something so drinks took forever.

It's been a few years since we last visited, and overall, it was okay. They have a decent beer selection, but I expected a bit more variety for a place called an Ale House. I ordered the salmon, but the portion was very small and overcooked. My wife, on the other hand, got the chicken picante, which was a large portion and tasted great. The music was pretty loud, and our server had trouble hearing and taking our order.

Great Atmosphere and Service at Up North Ale House
I visited Up North Ale House while on a business trip with a large party of 14. The restaurant accommodated us well, placing us in a separate room, which made for a comfortable dining experience despite the trivia night crowd. The atmosphere was casual and lively.
The service was fantastic—attentive and friendly. We ordered several appetizers, including Calamari, Seared Tuna, Brussels Sprouts, Buffalo Cauliflower, and Mozzarella Sticks, and they were all fantastic. I personally ordered the Chicken Piccata, which was well-presented and tasted great.
While some in our party had mixed feelings about their meals, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would happily return to Up North Ale House. It’s a solid choice for good food and a fun, laid-back atmosphere.

Today was my first time here. I drive by this place all the time, so I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere was open and airy. I went early to avoid the crowd so I could get a good feel for the restaurant. We were greeted quickly and seated at a table immediately. The server was prompt and polite. I did ask her questions about the menu to see how well she knew the items, and she was very helpful. Both of our dishes were really good and cooked perfectly. We ended up ordering burgers, and they did not disappoint. The menu had a ton of tasty sounding items, so I will need to go back to try more selections. I would definitely recommend you give this place a try as it was very good.

Very good food, wide selection on the menu. My friends really liked the salmon with a side of asparagus. I got the prime strip steak with spinach and a baked potato, which was excellent. Excellent beer and cider list. Was a bit loud and the atmosphere was just okay. Server was very good.
