Amazing pepperoni pizza
Kristine U.

I was shocked to hear that the Red Horse Inn is now an awesome pizza joint and bar called Ansons!! I haven't been here since I was a kid. It's in the middle of rural Carleton and brought back a lot of memories. I was in town for work and family and I dined here 3 times during my visit. The pizza and breadsticks are excellent!! They have a good beer selection and mixed drinks. For dessert the cinnamon roll breadsticks will not disappoint. Service was great every visit, everyone is very friendly. I love the laid back atmosphere too. I can't wait to return next time I'm back in town.

Gin/tonic

We had a FANTASTIC JALAPEÑO Pizza and CLUB wrap. Both were awesome!!! We also had a Gin and Tonic, that was mix right and tasted great. Our waitress was FANTASTIC also. **Only down side, A/C wasn't working well, and we were sweating , while sitting inside . Building is old and Updates need to be made.

Frickles all fried up, what waits inside is a surprise!

Had a fine time at Anson's playing Name That Tune, which is apparently a big deal because the place was packed with lots of big teams! The beer was cheap and the food was roadhouse good. Big portions of midwestern favorites, burgers, salads (not the healthy kind), fajita wraps, and on and on. Everyone's food was great and everyone took about half their order home. Far and away the most interesting thing on the menu to me and my favorite item was the house made "Frickle." It's some bizarre and insane form of pizza, I suppose. The Frickle lives somewhere between an appetizer, a meal, a snack, and junk food. It is a crispy, quality dill pickle spear wrapped in salty deli ham and then cheddar cheese and then wrapped in billowy pizza dough and DEEP FRIED?! What? Yes! Served with an obligatory side of Michigan Ranch Dressing it's a crispy, chewy salty, cheesy, savory delight that's way better than you'd guess it'd be. Good on ya, Anson's. For those less adventurous, Anson's is know for their pizza on this long-time middle of nowhere roadside staple. It feels like the kind of place back in the day where you'd pull your buggy over to wet your whistle and get directions to the next town. I like that. Be sure to pop into the bar area and check out the vintage psychedelic multi-textured faux-velvet wallpaper. Worth it.

See all

DropTop Pizza - Joey's Favorite

DropTop Pizza

(68 reviews)

DropTop is one of those small local spots that surprises you with how well developed and…read morethoughtfully run it is. The burgers are easily the standout!! juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The shakes are AMAZING, and the pizza is different and big size, making it great for sharing. The fries are another win: crispy, well‑seasoned, and addictive. The environment is nice and cozy, which adds to the charm, though I do wish they had more tables. That said, they've optimized the experience by offering a separate pickup door, which makes takeout incredibly smooth and efficient... a smart move for a small business. What really elevates DropTop is the staff. They're super friendly, genuinely welcoming, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations were spot on, and you can tell they care about the food and the customers. Overall, I'd absolutely come back. The burgers were my favorite, but honestly, everything I tried was solid.

The Detroit style pizza at Droptop is some of the best I've had. Generous toppings, amazing crust…read morethat's not too thick, and a sauce that has just the right amount of spiciness. I had the Super Sport Pizza and it was outstanding. The rest of my family did the BYO pizza options due to gluten and dairy sensitivities and said the crust was the best GF crust they've had, and were stoked to be able to have it Detroit style! We also tried the Motor Oil Wings and they were excellent! Nicely sized wings and a good portion. The sauce was rich and umami just as described on the menu. I loved the dedicated "To Go" area in the alley behind the restaurant, close to the parking lot; not having to go inside the main area to fight through the people (it was crowded the night we ordered), was a big bonus. The staff working the to-go counter was friendly, fast, and helpful. We ordered online and everything was ready exactly at the promised time. We will 100% be back!
