Grafton 3/7/2009
We used to enjoy the steaks and burgers at the Ale House in Boynton Beach, Florida. Perhaps I should have stuck to that part of the menu, because the beef in the stroganoff that I ordered seemed to have been seared in oil and reminded me of the time my mother tried to make me eat liver. The sauce was too thin, weak and meager to save the dish. The piece of the pot roast sandwich that I tasted was very good, though, and the Asian cole slaw was impressive. The gumbo was good and tasted like okra, unlike the cheap imitations one finds elsewhere. Of course one goes to the Ale House for its ale, but I couldn't go sampling all the wares when I had to drive 30 miles back to my house. I did badger my husband into getting one variety, which was very hoppy.
There were quite a few families with small children, so we fit right in. A line was forming as we left around 12:30, not what one would expect on a Saturday afternoon in east central Wisconsin on a cold, rainy day.
Good atmosphere, mostly good food, and a nice location overlooking the Milwaukee River. Too many places up here don't appreciate their rivers.
