Having suffered through the nuances of the previous owner, I was excited to hear about the change in ownership! Almost immediately the kitchen staff was replaced and the quality of the food reflects it. Looking for a quick snack? YOU GOTTA GET THE WINGS!!! Something a little lighter maybe? Go for the Club salad, Its delicious and HUGE - be prepared to take half of it home. Something you don't find at the local Chain's or the mom & pop watering holes... The entertainment has improved with more quality live bands and DJ's as well as a new Karaoke DJ on Wednesdays. The new owners also upgraded the ventilation system so no more "wall of smoke" when you walk through the door. In addition, they also expanded the No Smoking section in the dining area so you and your family can enjoy your meal with out it tasting like an ashtray... I only recognize a few of the employees that were around before the new owners so it seems that the wait and bar staff have been overhauled as well. Long waits for food and/or drinks are a thing of the past. (I can't help be think that some of the negative reviews here are by former employees) All-in-all, the place has undergone huge improvements! If your looking for a great place to hang out, meet some friends, grab a quick bite, have a couple cocktails, OD's is the place to go.
Pros: Friendly, courteous staff, great food, prices are extremely reasonable,
Cons: Would like to see more microbrews/specialty beers

I personally think that the new owners have made a difference. Putting ventilation in the bar was a great improvement!!!!! Adding Brian Pate as the DJ on Friday nights another great move! Putting exxit doors off of the resturant side also a good idea! The service at Carolina Ale House really isn't better...... some people just prefer the chain type of bar and I do not.....only on occassion. Give them a try.
Pros: Better ventilation in the bar area which was a turn off to many under the previous ownership
