One week wasn’t enough. 🔥 By popular demand, the Panko-Crusted Hot Honey Chicken Caesar Sandwich is back for another week.

In-house panko-crusted chicken breast coated in hot honey, topped with our house Caesar salad and shredded Parmesan, all on a buttery brioche bun finished with our Parmesan-parsley shake.

If you missed it last week, this is your second chance. If you already had it…well, you know exactly why it’s back. 👀

Taco Tuesday just found its perfect plus-one. 🌮🍹Tonight’s feature is our Blackened Cod Tacos: blackened cod tucked into warm corn tortillas with red pepper & corn salsa, avocado crema, crumbly cotija, crisp lettuce and microgreens. Fresh, a little smoky, a little creamy, and very easy to pair with a margarita. Or two. 👀 Who is your margarita partner tonight??

Caesar salad had no business becoming a sandwich this good. 🔥 Meet this week’s Panko-Crusted Hot Honey Chicken Caesar Sandwich: an in-house panko-crusted chicken breast coated in hot honey, piled high with our house Caesar salad and shredded Parmesan, all tucked into a buttery brioche bun finished with a Parmesan-parsley shake.

Crispy. Sweet heat. Creamy Caesar. And just messy enough to know it’s going to be good. 🤤 Served with your choice of side and available this week at lunch. Who are you sending this to for a lunch date? 👇

This is what Ale House is all about. ❤️ Good food on the table. Drinks being poured. A full dining room. And the people you actually want to spend your time with. We love sharing what’s coming out of our kitchen and what’s happening behind the bar, but at the end of the day, this place has always been about the people around the table. So consider this your Wednesday reminder to call the friends, get the family together and make some plans downtown.

This is one seriously good catch. 🐟 Meet the Creole Catfish Sandwich: Creole seasoned fried catfish piled onto toasted rye with Dijon aioli, bayou coleslaw, arugula, tomato and pickle. Crispy. Creamy. A little kick. And absolutely stacked. Served with your choice of side and available this week at lunch. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to switch up your usual lunch order…this is it. 👀 Who are you sending this to for a lunch date? 👇
