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. read more

We enjoyed a perfect early Valentine's Day dinner at Anson's! The scenic country ride out there is beautiful, and the staff greeted us with genuine friendliness the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious--we highly recommend the pepper jack cheese appetizer, their pizza, and the cheesecake for dessert. It's clearly a local favorite; even arriving early, almost every table was filled by the time we finished. The atmosphere is great, too--it feels like the kind of spot where you'd see a row of snowmobiles parked out front after a fresh snowfall. We're already planning our next trip back to try more of the 'house favorites' marked with the fork icon on the menu! read more

Pizza is excellent with a great sauce. Staff are always super nice. Entryway stairs are tricky if you have someone who is not steady on their feet with you. read more

keep driving... you will find it. when you pass a few farms, some tractors, and some more farms and think your GPS is broken, you will finally arrive. it is not where you would think a thriving pizza joint would be. We got the basic peperoni and WOW, it was some much better that expected. read more

Our group all tried different dinners. All in our group were delighted. Our server was attentive and very kind. Anson's is in a rural area and surely needed for the community. read more

Excellent menu! A bit of everything. Great pizza and wings. Staff is always friendly and the owners are great people!! Don't forget dessert

Been here twice, once to eat and once toe just have a couple drinks. Both times were really quite good. We had their pizza and it was pretty tasty and the boys really enjoyed it as well. This last time was just for drinks and the High Life's were cold and went down smooth. My wife had a chocolate Martini that was super yummy. The waitress was super nice to talk to and quick with service and a smile. Enjoy! read more

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. read more

Good food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Definitely will be back. Features many pizza options I had a different selection but friends with me said their pizza was excellent. read more

What a great place!!! We went for the first time, yesterday, for supper. Hunter took care of us and we had a great time. Everything we had was very, very good and they sure do make some great onion rings! For fun, I asked for a vodka martini, dry, up, with olives. The Bartender did a GREAT job with it and when I complemented her on it, she said she worked before at a martini bar and that it was fun to make one :-D We were a group of five and everyone enjoyed what they ordered and what we could not finish, we took home. The menu is HUGE and varied. Will have to come back and try more things, including the Chicken Cordon Bleu pizza on the special board... wow. What a great, fun place! read more

Been here several times. Always seem to have delicious food. A little long on the wait but it was super busy when we went. Will definitely go again but at a slower time. read more

We have been meaning to get dinner here and I'm so glad we did! The kitchen closed at 9 but you could still order pizza and fried appetizers so we had the hand dipped mushrooms and a taco pizza. Everything was delicious! Our waitress was super friendly and on her game as well! Such a hometown rustic feel inside too! Very clean and quaint place. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Have been here twice.... amazing. The BBQ chicken pizza paired with Jalapeno Popper pie as an appetizer...deelish. read more

Cheese bread and bread sticks as an appetizer were very good ...pizza was a bit above average. Watch the beer prices

Hands down best pizza pie in Michigan! The frickles are also amazing. Always a friendly atmosphere and staff. Nicely stocked bar for the adult crowd. Great selection of food from pizza to traditional burgers read more

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. read more

The Restaraunt is called Anson's and it's been remodeled recently. Since the Grafton closed several months ago, there hasn't been a very good place for lunch until now. Staff is friendly enough. Food was good and the bathrooms were clean. The Fries were'nt very crispy. read more

Awesome little pizza (and more) spot. Nothing fancy but VERY comfortable place with great food and service. Ask about the "hidden" pizza menu! read more

This place is now called Anson's- I submitted for an edit. It doens't look like anything special from the oustide (I mean come on, it's literally in the middle of nowhere as far as businesses go) We were quite excited when we came in for lunch and they had such an extensive menu. They have their appetizer sectioned off- so they list seperately what they make in house vs what is pre-packaged. They batter and fry pickles, onion rings, mushrooms, etc. and something called a "Frickle".A frickle is a pickle spear wrapped in deli ham and cheddar cheese that is put inside pizza dough and is deep fried. It is served with ranch and it is suprisingly tasty! My husband and I both selected from the special menu. I had a chicken salad sandiwch on cranberry bread that came with homemade chips. Tony got a Wrangler burger which he also enjoyed. Their draft beer selection is pretty standard (Bud, But Light, Miller, Sam Adams, and Fat Tire) but the server said it changes often. They have tons of wing sauce flavors, pizza, calzones, sandwiches, stuffed burgers, and dinners. I can't wait to go there again and try something new! read more

My friend recently moved to this area, and my wife and I decided to stop here in passing. I've been to the area many times (Stony Creek Auto is right around the corner) and never even knew Anson's was there since it's in the middle of nowhere. We stopped in on a weekday night on a whim, and it was well worth it. My friend suggested the pizza, but my wife and I got burgers (and a few beers) and it was less than $30. It was kind of slow (I couldn't imagine a night where it's packed), and our server was quick and friendly. The burgers were good, and the atmosphere was great. We were in and out in an hour, and next time I'm in the area, I might stop by again. They have a very expansive menu. Also, we had no cell phone signal (Verizon), and they don't have public WiFi, so it was nice to put the phones aside and enjoy a good meal. read more

Best stuffed burgers! They also have really good pizza too. Great place to go for lunch/dinner and to grab a drink with friends and family. Definitely worth the drive out there! read more

Have bad luck here food gives me diarrhea food worker seen no groves making salads , eating in kitchen and keep working without washing hand

My Boss recommended this place, My husband and I decided to give it a try. We absolutely loved it!! I ordered a mini pizza hubby ordered ham & cheese with sweet potato fries. The sauce for his sweet potatoes was homemade and was delicious it tasted like frosting. My pizza was delicious and was truly homemade and the ingredients were fresh. I also tried a cup of green pepper soup and that was also wonderful. We honestly liked everything! The server Steve was very friendly and gave us great attention he is very attentive and has a great personality! This place is worth the drive and the only thing I would recommend to management is to replace the carpet. We will be back. Thanks! read more

A hidden gem. Anson's has the best pizza. The Jalapeno popper pizza...Chicken Parm pizza...BBQ chicken pizza...Taco pizza....all amazing. Their burgers are also amazing. Also...the Long Island Ice Teas are good and strong. Veronica...a great waitress. Check this place out. read more

Food was okay. I got the Lindsay, I wasn't impressed with the size of the chicken. It was TINY and the side options could be improved. I also went to the bar area The bartender could have been a little more professional. She wasn't measuring the shots and I don't think she charged me for a couple drinks either. read more

Had dinner there tonight husband ordered perch which he loved I ordered the turkey Reuben which was nothing more than a grilled turkey and cheese there was no coleslaw or thousand island dressing the plus side was that the service was much faster than in the past. My husband told I should have said something about my sandwich but what difference would have it of made read more

Very delicious food. I had a stuffed pizza burger with fries. And my wife had burger sliders with sweet potato fries. The food took a little while to come out but the waitress informed us that the stuffed burgers takes a little longer too cook. But overall great visit and we will definitely be back. read more

Good pizza. If you like jalapeno poppers...then there jalapeno popper pizza is a must try. U can order a personal size. Very good.

Not a bad spot to have a beer and some pizza! The food is bar style and they have some interesting friend options. Not a bad spot for dinner if you in the mood for pizza! Salads are not the best. read more

Love this place. Pizza is mine and my wife's favorite. Deep dish with pepperoni. But we also like their special pizza like the coney pizza or the taco pizza. This isn't just a place for pizza. Their other menu items are very good. read more

Best pizza in the area have ate there a few times and tried other items on the menu all have been very good will be back again

Service was horrible, 3 of 4 orders were wrong..took forever to get food. Food was good but not worth the wait.

This place is delicious. The food is great and the beer/liquor selection is incredible. They now have breakfast on Sundays from 8am- noon and I recommend you try it. I have never been disappointed yet! read more
