The Ale House - Cobourg

Nice chill spot, prices are good but food could use a bit more

Fantastic fish tacos!! Delicious flavor! You've got a winner from the folks who stopped in from Connecticut:

We had the Ale house burgers . They were delicious and well done just the way we like them.We sat outside so not sure about the atmosphere.Best burger I have had in a very long time ?

This is the place to come and relax! Tasty treats, picnic tables, and beers. Worth the visit!

Welp, here we go...The older gentlemen, whom I assume is the owner, seemed like it was a burden to have customers. He was the only one serving at 3 pm when they opened, but maybe he was having an off day. He looked angry, was short and provided monosyllabic responses to questions related to the menu. This continued throughout our stay.We started off with three strongbows that were flat. An order of deep fried pickles, (only 5 spears to an order that 's supposed to be a sharable which were surprisingly well battered.The menu listed additional charges for various toppings, but no indication as to what these charges would be. We all ordered burgers with various toppings.The burgers were bland. The fries were bland, but we 'll cooked. The peppercorn ranch was watered down mayo with stale peppercorns.Oh, did I mention a slice of marble cheese added to a burger was $3!? Or to substitute a sauce was a mayo charge of $2?All in all a $25 burger that was bland and unappetizing served by an owner who hates his customers in a rusty cake pan.Only positive is that is was well kept, no grease on any of the food items and looked extremely sanitary.Just avoid this place... Head to the El or the Leguan Food Truck down by beach for real flavour.
