    All I have to say is ABSOLUTELY and YES!!! That's for the food, the service and the ambiance!!! You first walk in, you're greeting like a known, returning customer - even though it was my first time here. Everyone is nice and friendly!!! Service was just as great with honest recommendations. There is plenty of seating available. The food was DELICIOUS!!! I don't normally eat pork chops but that was recommended and I'm glad I did it. Tender, seasoned and enough food for 2 people or 3 meals (that's what it ended up for me).

    The laughter from cousins, the smells of granny in the kitchen cooking, hugging your favorite aunt that makes the best Mac and Cheese and leaving with your belly and heart full from good food and family. This is Around the Table. A family owned restaurant where everyone who walks in becomes family. I came in to get food to go after church which is probably their busiest day. The dining room was full of families eating after church or just enjoying a Sunday together. reservations are suggested. I went to the register and was met by one of the owners Ms Kelly with a warm smile. She made suggestions to my daughter and I and quickly got our orders in. They have everything from pork chops to catfish. From Mac and cheese to corn pudding and cabbage. And talk about Homemade desserts! Whew. While we waited for our food and we could watch the football game that was on the tv. We also met the other owner Ms Amie! They have an event space in the space next door and they were hosting a birthday party and catering the entire event. Every staff member I came in contact with had A1 customer service and with a smile. Our food was ready pretty fast and when it came up they went thru our whole bag with us to show our pipping hot order was correct. We barely made it to the car before we had sleeves rolled up and forks in. I highly suggest the Catfish with Cabbage, Yams and Corn Pudding. My daughter had cabbage and Mac and cheese and we shared some pound cake that was perfection. If you need a good home cooked meal and wanna feel the warmth of family I recommend you hurry to Around the table.

    I've been to Around the Table several times. I ordered the catfish fried hard with mac and cheese, yams and cabbage. The food was ready when I arrived. Let me start by saying I am a very tough food critic, especially when it comes to soul food. Let's get into it.... Fish- 2/5 the texture was soft for catfish and not seasoned. Not sure if they understand what fried hard/crispy means because it was not. It could have been the breader they used? but I couldn't pick the fish up without falling apart. Mac and cheese 3/5 looked good but no taste. Cabbage 3/5. Seasoned a bit, but big chunks of core which was almost half of my serving. Yams 4/5- it looks like they use whole potatoes which is cool. Sweet, but missing a bit of depth. The corn muffin was basic. Total was $26. I got to my car and realized they charge 10% for to go orders. Not sure if this is listed on their website. It also looks like they included taxes in the price before the actual taxes were added. Not sure, but I don't agree with this practice. The service is pretty good, but I don't know if I will return. I've definitely had better soul food but I do appreciate that the place is clean and friendly.

    Homemade. Check! Welcoming. Check! Amazing food. Triple check! We just moved to the area and I really wanted some good ole home cooking and something different than the usual. This place is so close to our house-10 minutes! This place is hidden in the corner of a shopping center that looks almost abandoned. But don't let the looks deceive you. This place is amazing! The food is hands down a 10! We had the crabcakes which had hardly any fillers, the fried chicken which was seasoned and fried to perfection and all the sides- Mac n cheese, coleslaw, sweet bread, potato salad, and corn bread. Yummy! We loved it and will definitely be back!

    This place is soul food personified. While it looks small on the outside it's quite spacious inside. The wait staff was super nice and accommodating. This was our first time trying this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised for our meals my mom opted for fried fish (whiting) her two sides of choice were coleslaw and sweet potatoes but she got an extra side of corn pudding my meal I opted for the smothered chicken livers and added a crab cake my sides were spoon bread and collard greens with an extra side of cabbage. Everything I tasted was delicious my mom didn't care for the coleslaw but she said it wasn't bad just wasn't for her. We had to eat kind of fast because the flies started coming in I also took a piece of apple cobbler home but I should've eaten it inside. All in all my only critique was I wish the food was a tad bit hotter I wanted to see smoke but the flavors were on point. I will be back on a Friday for turkey wings! They really make you feel like family there! Almost forgot the cornbread with each meal melts in your mouth!

    Clockwise from the bottom: Meatloaf, cabbage, spoonbread and cornbread.

    We were passing through and found this cute restaurant. They greet you like you are family when you walk in. Kira was our server and she took great care of us. We both had the special of the day - meatloaf. I come from a long line of southern cooks and my grandparents owned a restaurant for years. This was the BEST meatloaf I've ever had. Everything was just delicious. If you find yourself near Ashland, this place is a MUST.

    Smothered pork chops.

    Great food, excellent service and southern hospitality. I'm from the west coast and in my area we do not have access to soul food. Highly recommend the smothered pork chops and fried chicken.

    Southern hospitality on display. The staff wee so laid back, cheerful and helpful. The restaurant has the feel of home and a spot in a small town - very authentic and welcoming feel. The highlight of this dinner was the potato salad. It tasted amazing, creamy and hearty. The gravy with the por chop was so good I slurped it down fast! The plate had 2 big slices of chops that were so tender. The amount of onion was just perfect. The plate may not look appetizing but the food tasted so good and felt like grandma was cooking in the back! Mac and cheese was ok - this is subjective because I am not a mac cheese person. The corn bread would have been beter warm and with soft butter. Good place for families!

The poor cashier was running back and forth taking orders and then helping prepare the food. She was kind enough to offer a free soda and apologize before any wait even happened -- but after hearing that, a large group of travelers decided not to order and walked out. If you're going to advertise with such big claims, you should be staffed properly to deliver on them. There seems to be a serious management issue here. Either hire more people or rethink the signage that keeps attracting more customers than the staff can handle. By the time I started writing this review, I had already been waiting about 20 minutes for a simple order. I hope they address the staffing and improve the overall experience. Spoiler alert: they're not the greatest burgers.

We're talking hard bread. Terrible! However, my shock that the hot dogs themselves could actually be worse surprised me. They appeared to have been on the grill for at least twenty minutes, maybe thirty. They were shriveled, dry, and tough themselves. I was unaware that a place that served food to the public could remain open when their food was so terrible. Maybe their hamburgers are decent, but I'll never know. Despite living in the Ashland area and deciding to try their hotdogs, I will never eat anything from there again. Avoid this place on England Street in Ashland, Virginia.

    Kregger's Tap and Table has ample outdoor seating; about one-third of it is covered. Because it was…read moresuch a hot evening, we spent time surveying the outdoor area. While we found a shaded table with a nice breeze outdoors, the chairs were wet and the table was tilted, so we ultimately opted to dine inside. Inside, a band was setting up for music later in the evening, and they boast a large selection of beers on tap. Despite the indoor area being almost full, we were waited on quickly, and our food arrived promptly. For my main course, I had a classic burger (normally served with cheese). Since I prefer no pink, I ordered it without any pink element, which was great as it kept the flavor clean. The exterior had a nice char that added depth to the flavor. The burger was served with thick slices of tomato, onion, and lettuce, a small amount of mustard, and on the side were jalapeno and hot dill pickles. The seasoned fries were very good, though they were slightly too salty for my taste (I'm not a big salt person). If you need to limit your sodium intake, I suggest skipping the seasoned fries. My wife ordered the Ahi Tuna Tacos, which were delicious and beautifully encrested. While she found the coating flavor was unusual with tuna initially, adding lime juice made it perfect. When I tried a piece, we noticed that the tuna might have been cooked on the same surface as my burger, picking up some of the char, which added an interesting element. Overall, the service was excellent throughout, and both our meals were enjoyable and served hot and quickly. The atmosphere is lively, filled with customers enjoying the music. We didn't stay for the band (which I'm sure would have enhanced the mood), but we noted that the outdoor tables are quieter and suitable for families--though this might change later in the evening. This spot is perfect whether you're looking for a quick meal or an enjoyable evening with live music.

They have a good lunch special menu- i went with the brisket tacos which were two large tacos loaded with meat and corn salsa plus a pepper sauce. They had a great kick to them. The spicy chips on the side were also great, and much better than the standard fries that seem to come with everything at these types of places. Its a good option right off the highway for a stop.
