As the name implies, Squire Ale House will be something of a departure from his traditional Village Squire locations. While retaining many of the elements that have made the original brand so successful (“Yes, we will have smores!!” Karas insists), the new location will be what Karas describes as “a tavern,” with a combination of home-grown, standard and craft brews and a menu including burgers, ribs and the Village Squire’s famous broasted chicken. Bringing back The Lodge’s popular rotisseire chicken is also part of the plan.

The front entry was packed with people and there was confusion with who had checked in at front desk & were still waiting to be seated vs who was still waiting to check in at desk. The gal running the front desk was very young and while trying her best, it would be best a far more seasoned staff member control this area for now and keep things moving rapidly and organized.
We were seated readily after the 3 parties totaling 21 people were seated. The left side of the restaurant where the bar is located is comprised of a few booths – high tops and primarily what I’d call counter height tables.
Took quite a while before our server stopped by.
Decided to try a menu item not offered at Village Squire – the ahi tuna salad. It was FANTASTIC ! I subbed out the dressing for the Greek feta dressing as it’s my FAV. Broasted chicken is only offered Sunday thru Tuesday so we also chose that item which was yummy.
I had a Squire Red ale which was delicious.
Price points for menu entrees for higher tier items in common with Village Squire (salmon – prime rib etc) are definitely 10% or more higher price. Guessing the restaurants costs have risen quite a bit but it’s not warranted increasing the prices yet at VILLAGE Squire.
$75 for two before tip for a casual Sunday afternoon meal (calamari / broasted chicken / ahi tuna salad / 1 red squire beer / 1 iced tea) – no regrets – but no desire to return to dine there. We will stick with Village Squire.
My only complaint was that the manager on duty was less than accommodating, and her people skills were extremely sub-par. It’s pretty sad when the hostess has to apologize for the managers behavior.
We started with the Baked French Onion Soup (7/10 due to lack of seasoning) and Caesar Salad (7/10) that were mediocre at best. The fresh baked bread was good but nothing special (7/10). We ordered the Cajun Chicken Alfredo & Filet Stroganoff. The Alfredo was more of just a plain cream sauce with zero flavor and little to no parmesan cheese flavor. Luckily I ordered the Cajun Chicken which added a bit of flavor but overall nasty (4/10). The Filet Stroganoff was even worse (2/10). Absolutely no flavor whatsoever and the sauce was extremely watered down by the pasta water. Even adding salt and pepper didn’t help.
Maybe the other menu items have better flavor but I doubt it based on how bad these simple dishes were. We probably won’t come back to try anything else because after spending $84 on what was mentioned above we feel a bit ripped off. You getter better flavor at lower quality places like Noodles or Olive Garden if that tells you anything. And no I do not really care for Noodles or Olive Garden either just a comparison to show how bad this place is. I really do not understand how they have multiple locations, unless they are serving other stuff at those.
