Waterfront Ale House may not be your restaurant of choice just from passing by, but stop by. The food is incredible. If you’re looking for some good Kansas City BBQ or something resembling a hearty, home cooked meal - this is the place! The staff is so nice and relaxed. They’ll accommodate you with whatever you need. It’s a really good neighborhood spot and goes a bit unnoticed because of its old-school street-corner vibe. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover!

I liked this restaurant. They had a delicious cheese burger. The staff was very helpful. They got me a new chair when mine was broken. Also the atmosphere was great. No one told me to be quiet. Nor did they tell me to use my inside voice. We had a very nice time and had a lot of fun. The desert was delicious. A lot of people enjoyed the alcohol. Also, they had cool posters.

I've been going here at least once a year for close to 25 years now. This is what a friendly neighborhood bar should be. Strong beer and libations list, excellent amazing food (the Texas Dip is easily worth the drive from Philly alone!) and reasonable prices.

I like the fact that they have the popcorn machine that you can grav while waiting for your food. Food was nice, staff was very attentive. Love love love their condiment baskets. They even had mayonnaise in it! Just wish it is a little bit roomier because it was very tight and very less space for servers to walk around.

Like this place a lot. Today was the first day in years that I have been there and the menu has changed somewhat. But it's ok. What is on the menu as far as food goes is good to go. My father and I sat at the bar and the bartender was great. She was focused on locals but that ok with me. I never felt neglected. The food was good. I don't believe you'll be disappointed. Bar looks old. Full bar. It feels old school. I gave it 4 stars because my grandfather taught me that nothing in life is perfect. Maybe I'll find it in Valhalla. 😂👌😉
