    My favorite local place for seafood. The food is amazing, best fish tacos I've ever had. Service is always great and the prices are good too. I've tried several items on the menu and everything has been great.

    Ale’s Crab Shack has been a favorite spot for our family to enjoy amazing food. We recently went for Taco Tuesday, and I have to say, I was beyond impressed. The tacos were absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly. They accommodated our requests without hesitation and exceeded our expectations. I also visit Ale’s regularly with corporate executives from work, and they all agree—this place is top-notch, especially for seafood in the desert. Whether it’s for a casual family outing or a business meal, Ale’s Crab Shack never disappoints!

    We had the Halibut and Salmon both were great. Surprised at the large tasty salad that came with it. I substituted the potato for the rice both were good. Great service.

    This was my second trip here. It is located in kind of an out-of-the-way place (a strip mall that does not face the main road), so you won't just see it passing by, but have to know it is there. I was in a party of about six we got everything from seafood boil to hamburgers. Everyone was pleased with their selection. I will make this a regular stop in Ridgecrest when there. By the way, it is pronounced 'Alley's.' There is also and Ale's Steakhouse in Ridgecrest on Norma Street. This is my favorite of the two restaurants.

    Fish tacos came out BIGGER than I thought. Super friendly, chill environment, and good soft music in the background.
