Strawberry Alley Ale Works

We went for Brunch on a Saturday mid-morning. It's a really neat place that's plenty spacious for larger groups. The service was excellent from the time we walked in to the time we walked out. My 7-yr old loved the complimentary "buffet" with cookies, fruits, etc. I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary and Shrimp n Grits. I'm from the deep south so I have a great appreciation for those two menu items and hold them to a high standard. I only gave 4 stars there but I'm sure they are both 5-star to most people. I only deducted a star because the bacon in the Bloody Mary was cold and chewy, inedible. And, if the managers are listening, the okra needs to be a spicy okra and the olive was not salty at all. The shrimp n grits were good, just lacked a little salt and instead of cheddar, the cheese should definitely be gouda and the green onions need to be sliced a little thinner. The atmosphere is amazing, especially when you have a 7-year-old and a 9-month-old, it's wide open and just loud enough the kids can make a little noise and not be considered the rowdy kids at a restaurant. Everyone at our table of 6 enjoyed the visit though and we will definitely return.

Had one of the best Cobb Salads I've ever had here. Spacious inside seating plus a patio and an upper deck. Our server was extremely attentive, and the food was delicious. To top it off, the prices were reasonable. Everything you could want in a restaurant choice.

Went here for dinner & drinks with a friend while in the area for a work trip and absolutely love this place. The hostess gave us the option to sit inside or outside, and we opted for sitting on the outdoor patio balcony. The vibe was chill and just what we were looking for. Our server Mya was super nice and friendly and gave great recommendations! Everything on the menu is made from scratch, and the quality and taste of their dishes reflects that. We shared a few appetizers which were pretty filling by themselves. They offer beer flights to sample what they make locally. You can also get beer to take home in cans or a growler. I would definitely come back here!

We went @5:45 on a Thursday night. It wasn't crowded or busy. We did not have to wait to be seated. Our server was very efficient and friendly. We had the blackened fish tacos, stuffed cowboy burger, fish and chips, and kids grilled cheese. Everything was really good with the exception of the roasted vegetables I chose as my side. The server did offer to give me another side for free. We would definitely return.

The food at Strawberry Alley Ale was absolutely delicious—my chicken burrito bowl hit the spot, and the drinks (especially my flight) were just as impressive. I was really looking forward to the full experience, and the kitchen definitely delivered. However, the service left something to be desired. We waited about 20 minutes just to get refills, and there was very little waitress presence throughout our visit. After asking once early on if we were ready to order dinner, no one checked back for a long time—only to later tell us we’d have to order immediately if we still wanted food. It felt rushed and a bit dismissive, which took away from what could’ve been a top-tier visit. Great food and drinks, but I hope the service improves.

Had a fabulous experience with Jaden here! She was so sweet and helpful. She made our dining experience so fun and suggested the best dessert.

Their buffalo wings were tasty and I will definitely go back for more. The pasta??? Uhmm will be more appreciated if it wasn't too salty. All in all, it was a great experience and their servers were very kind.

delicious it was a little too salty but it was very good. Service was also great there was a small mistake but they fixed it very quickly and management took good care of us. Establishment is very clean, 10/10 recommend.

It's great. Service and food were really good very quick in and out on Saturday for brunch

This place is fabulous!!!! And the bartender Olivia Latham she is outstanding!!! My husband said he will go back just to have service from her beautiful spirit!!! Sweet sweet young lady...5 star rating..

We made a 2:00pm reservation for brunch an hour prior to arriving. Upon arriving at the restaurant, my friend jokingly said we had a party of 40, to which neither the host nor the employee even cracked a smile for (awkward much?), we provided our name and the hostess stated our reservation had been cancelled because the reservations needed to be made two hours prior then went on to explain the technicalities of their reservation system. We could clearly see that there were empty tables (about 1/4 of the restaurant) that we simply could have been seated at. The hostess was able to get us seated after a little wait. Our waitress was hospitable from the start and exchanged banter with our group. We asked what the brunch platter was and she explained that because they did not serve appetizers for brunch, there was a complimentary bar with fruits, eggs, etc. After ordering our food, we went over to the brunch platter bar which was completely empty to our dismay. My friend asked if the bar would be restocked and the employee replied "I'll be real with you, probably not". Not a very professional response. We had to return 3/4 of the silverware sets provided to us because they had food stuck on them. We ordered an old fashioned which came out looking like grapefruit juice. It looked terrible and tasted just as bad. We sent it back and asked for water instead. The waitress was nice enough to bring the drink back remade- it tasted better than the first but would not have called it an old fashioned. Now on to the food- SUBPAR. We ate the food because it took forever for the food to come out and we were starving. Chicken and Waffles- The waffles came out cold while the chicken was warm. Breakfast Burger- There was nothing special about it. Probably the best plate out of everything we ordered. Steak Benedict/ Ham Benedict- Our "poached" eggs were fully cooked. The breakfast potatoes were bland. My steak was cooked like a hockey puck. Our hollandaise sauce was drizzled on top as if they had run out of it. I left half my plate uneaten. The best part of my plate was the biscuit. We expressed our extreme disappointment to our waitress and let her know that it had nothing to do with her and thanked her for her great service. She brought it up to the manager who basically knocked off 3/4 of our bill. Even with the reduced bill, we left extremely annoyed at the entire experience. My friends have been to Strawberry Alley multiple times and raved about this establishment. However, after our recent trip, we will not be back.

Really couldn't believe the experience I had here after so many years of being blown away. I brought my partner here because he's never had fried green tomatoes before and hyped this spot up for weeks because when I lived in Clarksville, this was my go to. It use to be a great place to take my family and friends visiting from out of town. From the moment we were sat (there was no wait) the experience had already been tarnished. It took 12 minutes for our waiter to come and greet us. Just as we were about to get up and leave, he came to get us started. He first took our drink orders and we put in the tomato's and egg rolls for the appetizers. Our drinks came out fairly quickly but our appetizers took another 20 minutes. The waiter never came to apologize for the wait or ask us if we were going to order dinner as well. When the appetizers came, I requested regular ranch for the southwest egg rolls and the server never brought it back. Another young man finally came around to take care of the table behind us so we were able to flag him down and ask for the condiment. By the time it came the egg rolls were cold and chewy. The tomatoes were lukewarm as soon as they hit the table and for as long as a wait that we had, it was super disappointing. When we finally got to order our entrees, i asked the waiter if it was going to take 30 minutes for our food to come and he actually said "it might" lol. Thanks for the transparency. My man ordered the steak frites and I ordered the chicken burrito bowl as it's always been one of my favorites. When the entrees finally came, my burrito bowl was skimpy and had NO CHIPS. When I asked the waiter where the chips were, he then let me know they were out and that I could get something else if I wanted to. Of course I was upset because I had just waited an almost an hour to get to this point and I could've ordered something else when I first had the chance had the communication been trickled down from the kitchen to the patrons, but there was no way I could enjoy the pile of mixture that was presented to me even lacking the potato chips. So I opted for the chicken piccata instead. I asked my partner how he felt about his dish as I encouraged him to go ahead and eat without me so his food doesn't get colder. He said it was fine and the fries were good. The steak looked liked it was cooked exactly how he asked for it but the presentation was lacking imo. My chicken piccata came in about 10 minutes after switching it out and it was perfect. Chicken hot and crispy. Seasoned to perfection. No complaints there. Just sucked everything sucked leading up to that. Also want to mention house keeping. There was several Cobb/spider webs with dead flies trapped in them along the window seals. this family restaurant started off strong and I hate to see it decline in this manner. Let's get this fixed guys.

A little pricey with not the best service quality, but I've never had a bad meal here. The food is typically very fresh and their menu changes frequently enough that I can try something new every time I come in. As someone with stomach issues and food sensitivities/allergies there is always an option available here for me! The atmosphere is pretty cool too if you enjoy dining outdoors or in their upstairs section

Another town, and another brew pub on our annual trip to somewhere. This year we were returning home from NOLA and decided to stop for the night in Clarksville. As I always do, I fired up my trusty Yelp App and the Strawberry Alley Ale Works looked promising so we decided to give it a try. I neglected to add a note in my travel log saying exactly what kind of beer I ordered -- but as I recall it was a perfectly acceptable, brewed in-house, brew pub, beer. Definitely better than a can of mega-brewer's swill. For my dinner I ordered Jägerschnitzel and I was quite pleased with the dish. The nicely breaded pork cutlet was served with apple kraut, braised red cabbage, and mushroom gravy. I'm kind of particular about red cabbage -- it's something I grew up loving in our German heritage household -- and though their preparation was different from my recipe, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The chef hit the sweet and sour notes perfectly -- almost like Grandma's. All in all, the dish was a nice alternative to a burger and fries. Though nothing sets the Strawberry Alley Ale Works apart from thousands of similar establishments across the county, it is good for its genre and I'd definitely stop for dinner if my travels ever land us in Clarksville again.

Strawberry Alley Ale Works is a very nice place with welcoming staff. Miranda is an awesome Person who handles all customers needs at the bar. Weather you're sitting at the bar or at one of the tables I'm sure you'll enjoy your meal.

The food was amazing! We went during brunch. I think my friend and I were super hungry because we ended up cleaning out plates and the resting the breakfast tacos to share! It was delicious.

Server was attentive and kept the refills coming. Food was above average but not fantastic. I had fish and chips. Fries were undercooked and a bit greasy, tartar sauce was bland and would've like more Cole slaw and less fries. All that said, it was good and I'm nitpicking a little to justify the four stars.

Finally got to try this spot out after living here in Clarksville since October. Really good spot! The food is delicious, it's an expansive building, so even though they pack a lot of people in, you still feel like you have enough elbow room. Service was great, we were greeted and given plenty of suggestions to work with. Definitely a good date outing, group meetup, or family gathering. Wait times can get long if you go anytime after 12pm.

Go. You won't be disappointed. Visited here on a Wednesday evening for dinner and there were a few people dining in, but not many. Good for us because we had a large party and we're seated immediately. Service was very quick & waitress went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Here's what we ordered: -Potato Chip Nachos: my least favorite but everyone else devoured them, including my toddler. Loved the change from soggy tortilla nachos and fries. The chips were homemade and very crunchy. -southwest egg rolls: nothing special, but again, everyone devoured them. Good flavor. -fried green tomatoes: yum! Love the sauce that was on top. The appetizer was sweet yet savory. -fried chicken sliders: very delicious. The chicken had the perfect crunch to it and the bun was amazing. Simple, yet effective. -Cheeseburger: Melted in my mouth! The bun is phenomenal and the tender, juicy meat just complimented it so well. I opted for no pickles but all the other toppings were fabulous. Will definitely get again. Fries were SUPER hot and delicious. -Burbon Burger: I didn't taste it but my dad wanted to order a 2nd one to go after taking his first bite. He said it was absolutely wonderful & the best Burbon burgers he's ever tasted. My kids ordered Mac and cheese & grilled cheese sandwiches. They were too full to eat all of their meals because they loved the appetizers so much. We loved all the alcoholic beverages ordered. I had the peach mojito and loved that it wasn't too much of anything, just right. Overall perfect experience, I don't have a negative thing to say. Will be back!

OMG! The burger was so good, juicy and very tasty! The fries were yummy dipped in their own ranch. Phil was amazing, so damn kind and polite. I highly recommend this place! It's now one of my all time favorites!

The waitress Corinne made the experience wonderful!!! She had a warm smile, was so attentive, gave us impeccable service!!! Will go back again & again!!!

The best sweet potato fries and a yummy burger. Great location, great environment, and nice staff. The special sauce on the burger was yum-o. I'm very particular with my fries. I only like them a couple different ways. When she told me they had sweet potato fries I thought I'd probably get stick fries that are chunky. When she came out with waffle fries AND they were THIN I was so excited. Lightly seasoned as well the fries were delish. If you're new visiting this area beware of the California hills. I literally about died I was terrified driving up it. Had my friend direct me another way down lol. SN: they have an upstairs which is separate on Yelp that has a game hall. Perfect for friends, first date, or date in general. Go, enjoy!!

1st time here was on my bday January 4th. I had lunch here. Kids were at school and husband was at work so why not?!? I ordered the cheeseburger with fries, crab and grit fritters and sangria. I took the burger to go cause I had gotten full off of fries and drinks. The crab fritters were delicious. I ran outside to refill my parking meter because the attendant was on the prowl and writing tickets. A man brought me a mimosa since it was my birthday. The food was delicious. The staff were extremely sweet. If I'm not mistaken the bartender name was Olivia. Super Sweet person! The restaurant was clean and quiet. It was around 11:30am when I went. I like it so much the 1st time I brought my husband 9 days later. He had the bourbon burger and fries in which he enjoyed. I had the chicken burrito bowl. It was ok. It was missing some seasoning somewhere and I would've like some chips or pita bread with it. We also had some crab and grit fritters but they were mostly grits not really any crab in them. I'll definitely try them again.

We were visiting Clarksville and locals recommended this place. We all LOVED our food. Our server, Tyler, was attentive and so helpful. The salmon was amazing! We enjoyed the brunch platter included on a Sunday afternoon. We would love to come back and have Tyler serve us again!

This place was good, very interesting menu. My tacos were delicious however the rice was either over cooked or left out for too long because it was crunchy and very hard to eat. Our waitress max was awesome and got me a side of fries. The dessert trio was also delicious, my personal favorite was the strawberry cheesecake.

The food was amazing. Went for brunch. Had a shrimp and cheese grits platter. Couldn't eat it all. Also a mimosa. Friend had traditional breakfast. Had to take some of hers home as well. Service was great. Highly recommended.

Ambiance is great, the service is excellent, the food was okay, not the best. Our burgers really didn't have any flavor. We wouldn't see ourselves coming back. My husband and I got the bourbon burger with sweet potato fries, and my brother ordered the chicken bowl. My brother said it was good only because he was really hungry after work but it would have been trash any other day. One major problem we had was the straws weren't wrapped. Sanitary issue.

Our server was amazing! She was attentative, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist.

The food was good! Service was very welcoming and friendly. Lots of space and the upstairs was fun! The beer was tasty! Jesse was a great server! Would recommend!!

The food was great and the service was awesome! Camryn was very attentive to are needs and had an answer for every question we had. The scenery is comfortable and cozy, and not too noisy. Will be going back for sure!

Sweet little get-a-way spot, with hometown hospitality, food was very good! Nice area to walk.

Great location but moderate food and drink. The menu needs a revamp and the food quality itself is sub par. We go here when people are new to the area because of the great spot. The ambiance is nice too.

Recommended by a local during our recent visit to Clarksville. We enjoyed a taste of southern flavors with the fried green tomatoes to start. The waitress recommended the shrimp and avocado bowl for a lighter option and it was delicious! Healthy and tasty. I snuck a few bites of the mac and cheese, which was loved by all at the table. Good food in a cute location.

You can find Strawberry Alley Ale Works at 103 Strawberry Aly, Clarksville, TN 37040 - this is on the riverside of downtown Clarksville. There's parking along the streets and in various lots but you'll probably need to pay - just an FYI. The building is a refurbished manufacturing or warehouse style commercial brick with a storefront - looks like much of the original shell is still standing but the inside has been gutted and updated for a much more open space and expansive feel. When we arrived there was a line out the door and along the side waiting for the opening for Brunch. I'm not sure if it's always offered but on this day there had various salads (including a cucumber salad and deviled eggs) along with some muffins that you could gnosh on while waiting for your food and drinks. I tried the chicken and waffles which I though good if a bit heavy - these were boneless cutlets pretty much covering a waffle. I also had a flight of beer: * Strawberry Alley Hefeweizen 4/5 - Well executed hefe, lightweight with typical Belgian banana nose, a touch sweet and fruity, finishes dry and crisp. * Class A IPA 3.5/5 - Fairly dark for a west coast IPA, extravagant creamy sweet malt notes obliterated by the piney bitter finish. Raspberry Berlinerweiss 3.7/5 - Fairly tasty, fruity with tart raspberry notes, finishes somewhat bright, could use a bit more sweetness on the finish. Belgian Dubbel 3.8/5 - Competently made with a typical Belgian banana nose, roasty malt backbone with little sweetness, finishes full and slightly bitter. Service was very good, even with the initial rush with the server coming by on several occasions to check on things. In all, I liked the food more than the beer but I have high hopes for the place and plan to return my next trip to Clarksville.

Been here twice now menu is good the wait staff could be a little more forthcoming on when things are available or not I understand last night being New Years Eve but the restaurant when we got there wasn't that busy and we had to wait 5+min for someone to even notice is sitting there (not good) as i said we had the southwest egg-rolls and appetizer tacos are good would definitely order the again also need a menu with al drink options available didn't know you had white-claw drinks the decor is nice and you can actually talk and have a conversation which I like.

Not worth it, food was blah and staff was rude. They allow reservations online 2 hours before but they don't honor them at the restaurant. Just don't allow us to make them online if you don't want to honor them.

Completely unsatisfied. Warm food was cold. Portions were not made as listed on the menu. Do not recommend

Definitely recommend!! The Chicken was tender and moist. Would order again. Service was great and waitress was sweet.

Decent food and drinks. The draft beer there upset my stomach, but the atmosphere was nice.

Oh my heavens, we were SUPER hungry, but I promise the food was still 100% yummy. A couple of beers, a couple of fantastic burgers and absolutely to die for house-made potato chip nachos later and our bellies were delighted. Our server was great (though quite busy!) and even though they were busy we could still hear ourselves think which was nice.

Absolutely wonderful food! We had the potato chips nacho and they were delicious! Then husband had jaegerschnitzel and it was excellent!

Food was just ok! Service was good but wine selection was subpar. Need to expand your selection to include at least one sparkling wine. Ambiance was ok.

The atmosphere is great. The food is very delicious and different. They also have good craft beers on hand. The service is friendly and quick.

My husband and I went to Strawberry Alley twice. Once for brunch, the second time for lunch. For brunch I had the breakfast bowl and a mocktail, he had the breakfast burger, and our daughter had the grill cheese. I really enjoyed all the elements of my breakfast bowl and all the textures together danced on my pallet. My husband enjoyed the burger, but not the fries. The second time we went we got the remaining items, the egg rolls, burger, chicken, two cocktails, and the dessert. We really loved the southwest egg rolls and would recommend for sure. My husband's burger this time was a bit on the drier side. We've sat both outside and inside each time and scenery was beautiful. We were able to see the River from where we sat. Each time our waitresses were attentive, but not overbearing. They were able to effectively and efficiently answer all questions we had.

Visited on Tuesday lunch with extended family, all of us from out of town. Service was decent, but a tad slow. We had a table of 8. Kids meals are great quality, size and value. You MUST try the fried green tomatoes!!! Visited again on Saturday for lunch around 1:00, but didn't get a table until about 1:45 (There were 10 of us.) By 2:15, our orders had not been taken and they were switching from the brunch menu to dinner, so we asked to switch to the dinner menus. Fish tacos, burgers, and kids meals were the highlights. The beer batter fish was disappointing as it was small, tough and over cooked. We sent back one of those meals and they remade it a little less done. Tartar sauce was fresh and well made. Everyone was kind, but nothing was fast.

Went there just out of curiosity. The service can not be compared! Food is simple but delicious. In one month I have been back four times . It's that good . If you stop for lunch let me recommend the hot chicken sandwich . It's sooooo good

Fun atmosphere! Lots of large booths to accommodate 6. With a very broad ale menu offering flights or individual glasses. We tried a couple of dark beers and they were delicious. Our party had the pretzels to start And they didn't disappoint then we enjoyed our black bean burger, regular burger and salads all were very good. Although being a large restaurant The acoustics are still very good with booths to dine you can enjoy your company and conversation. The service is also very good our server came back several times to check on us and made recommendations on the menu easily. Located in downtown Clarkesville in the hip urban historic area offering an excellent place to stroll after your meal. Street parking only and we did have to walk a distance as there was no close parking.

Not much of an eat out place. More of a drinks and hang out spot. It seems classer than it truly is. Good lively energy. I love going on the weekends. Good place to meet people in the local area

Looking for a place to take our family for great food and to enjoy our evening. We hit pay dirt! I tried the Kolsh on our server Maggie's suggestion. Between her suggestion on the locally made beer and the Jagerschnitzel...I was very happy. Please understand that I travel and I eat, so I know what I'm talking about when I say this is a wonderful place to come and try when you are in Clarksville. Ask for Maggie.

Here I am reviewing again and truly hope management sees this. What on earth did you do to your chicken picatta?? Once upon a time it was great, pan fried with lots of yummy buttery, lemony sauce over the farro. It soaked in and was great. Different due to the farro and veg. Now, you deep fry the chicken. There is zero lemony, buttery sauce. You legit ruined this dish. I had it a few months ago and was appalled. I was hoping it was a fluke. Nope. Last night you did it like this again and truly from the bottom of my heart - it's horrible. You can't call this a picatta. Call it southern fried chicken over farro and root veg cause that's what it is. I'll never order this dish again unless you publicly announce a return to the original method and recipe. Why?? Why?? I love a good picatta. Why did you take that from us?

The foood is incredible! First place I went to in clarksville and definitely didn't disappoint! Everything on their menu is a winner.... Don't forget the fried green tomatoes to start you will not regret it! The beer is delicious and the staff is so friendly! You are going to want to save room for dessert the mini mason jar desserts are to die for!!! Key Lime pie you won't regret it!

Food here was delicious. Service was also attentive and quick. They get busy pretty quick so I suggest being an early bird so you can get tables. The grits was delicious and I loved their fried green tomatoes. Definitely will be coming back.

The best part about this place are the potato chip nachos, the bourbon burger, and the bartender Olivia L. who makes the most amazing drinks with a smile!!

Being an "ambassador" (one time keychain purchase that entitles the bearer to a larger glass for beer), we go here pretty often and guests always like it. Easy-going atmosphere and the back outdoor 2d story deck makes for nice sunsets while dining. Service is generally excellent and pretty quick. My go to's are the burgers (any are great), fried green tomatoes for an app, and the BBQ chicken salad is awesome. I usually sit with a Hefeweizen or an IPA but they have some of the better local craft beers around.

Had a great time here tonight with friends . This is a great little place to hang out, eat, and have drinks

Great food! Great service! Strawberry Alley Ale Works is a scratch made kitchen and microbrewery with great beers. Good portions but not too much food. Try the Bourbon burger with fries. The southwest egg rolls are legit!! Good pricing on the menu.

Went for a buddy's birthday, & Got something as simple as a chicken bacon ranch pizza, and let me tell you what. I'd 1000% rather eat a pizza from little ceasers. We got 3 pizzas and they all were atrocious, shout out to the server/bartender for at least making the drinks strong in hopes we'd just get drunk and not notice.

Wonderful food, service, and ambience! Highly recommend for lunch or dinner. Dixie is a fabulous server! :)
