All things considered it's a great bar. I've been here a few times and the food has aways been decent but never blew me away but it's not supposed to. It's a bar vibe and the drinks are great and big and the apps are incredible. Service here unfortunately tends to be a bit lacking. It has been very slow and unattentive every time I've been here. But all in all a very solid place for a bite read more

Great Food & service wood really recommend going there with the family. The difference areas are pretty nice and great

This was my second time at Ashland Ale House! The first time I came during trivia on a Tuesday night, which was a lot of fun! I also had the fig pizza which was also pretty good. My boyfriend's steak tips, however, were not cooked-like rarer than rare, but he got new cooked ones and it was taken off the bill. I was able to convince my boyfriend to come back for the Festa Italiana deal! It's a dinner for two (or more really!) that includes 2 glasses of wine (or a bottle for $10 more), a shareable salad, a one-topping flatbread (either as an appetizer or to go!), and 2 pasta entrees. All for $38! That can't be beat! It was so much food- the salad was great and fresh, I liked the diced tomatoes in lieu of cherry! And the pizza was really good. I had mushrooms on it, and I'm really excited to eat my leftovers later. The pizza was the highlight! I had the linguine and meatballs as my entree as I was craving marinara. While it was a very light covering of marinara, it was good marinara. The garlic bread was very soft and butter as well! The meatballs looked eh but they tasted fine! I had so much food to take home, so that's an added bonus. Our waitress was also very nice and was sure to warn us about the sloped table edges- many a drink has slipped off the table! I'm glad I was made aware of that. The service was also fast- I barely had time to finish the salad before the pizza was brought out, or finish the pizza before the pasta was brought out! I also really like the vibe of the place- local pub! They really hit it home. The decor is movie posters and old timey relics and school logos, and there were plenty of shamrocks and festive banners around for St. Patrick's Day. I'd definitely come again- and this is almost an hour out of my way! Festa Italiana!! read more

The food is very solid. I don't think any particular dish is amazing, but they cover a wide span of categories (including orange chicken, randomly) and do a good job with everything we've tried. The service has been pretty good- attentive and friendly overall. Ale House gets five stars for the overall value, consistency, and the vibe in there. It's simply nice to be there and we've enjoyed each visit. I like the Wednesday night Italian dinner for two and the themes they do, as well as Trivia night. It's nice to see a place show some effort and execute on specials and theme nights etc. and they clearly have a loyal following as a result. We're now a part of that following. read more

We encountered a true 10/10 family dining experience tonight at Ashland Ale House. We were greeted by a friendly and accommodating hostess. The restaurant was spotless despite all of the nooks and crannies in between the varied treasures and memorabilia plastering the walls. The ambiance all around was cheerful and pleasant. We were served by a knowledgeable, courteous and friendly server named Carl. He was attentive and offered suggestions and was engaged in our children enjoying themselves. The menu has everything and anything that you may desire from Fig & goat cheese flatbread to what I had... the Short Rib risotto. My dinner was so rich and flavorful. The quality was impeccable. My husband had their signature chicken sandwich which was unbelievable, the perfect balance between crunchy and juicy. Both of my children had burgers which they devoured with no issues (quite rare for 5 & 8 year olds). Just when we thought our meal was complete we were greeted by Carl with two hoodsie cups for the kids and to let us know that their resident "celebrity" had arrived and he would be coming to visit it us. Shortly thereafter, we were greeted and entertained by their house Magician Scott. Our kids were floored. What an experience. Ashland ale house has my vote! Thank you for creating the best ever dining experience for our family. read more

Food was excellent, price was good and atmosphere ok. We had the family and it was 8 pm on a weeknight so kind of loud and busy as right before Christmas weekend. Will be going back, had good choices for kids menu too. read more

Food service ambience the onion rings are bomb Very reasonable pricing Friendly staff fast service read more

My girlfriend and I go there at least once a month. The food is fantastic takes pub food to a whole new level. The service is average but better than most always a smile on the servers face. The place is well seated always a Barstool to sit , but my girlfriend and I always sit at a booth. A lot sports memorabilia and plenty of tv's so you won't miss a game. read more

Great local spot. Great beer list and variety. Friendly staff and a large and varied menu.

Easy parking and got seated quickly. Service was attentive and professional. Nice to have servers that know what they are doing AND bussers actually helping them. Manager seemed very involved in serving and managing. Nice to see. Bottom line briefing -- Beer, Service, and Atmosphere were great. Prices reasonable. Appetizers okay--a little overdone. And meals were a mixed bag among us (see my pics of baked haddock. Mildly fishy but still ate it. Was not a thick, flaky, piece of white haddock). If I had to name some bad things, there was no kids menu, at least not one with a hamburger on it. Had to order a $16 adult burger for a 9 yr old. Carpeting should be replaced throughout and replaced with hardwood because it was kind of dingy looking and gives the place a 'dirty' feel, but wasn't dirty really. I would Go back with adults and four drinks/apps. read more

I have been here and sat at the bar.It was fine. Tonight We had a party of five. We sat at a high top. Server was so uninterested. We needed set ups, more water etc. He would walk by with his head down. I had to stop and ask other servers for what we needed. We tried to play keno, waited so long. With the exception of a couple of hostesses, everyone was miserable. Why is a hostess wearing a flannel shirt? Place was hot. It was an extremely unpleasant, Had to ask for everything!!!! Pretty pathetic for a couple of beers and water and soda that were not replenished! read more

Had heard great reviews by locals about the food and ambiance. The food was terrible. Not one person at our table liked their food. None of us are very picky either. There was nothing redeeming for this evening of Trivia. The trivia guy want enunciating as well as other trivia guys in other local bars on Tuesday night. He took too much time tabulating the scores. Seemed like he needed help to keep it running smoother. People starting leaving and then we also left before it was over. The waitress did offer to bring me something different which helped. read more

It actually hurts to say this because I've been going to Ashland Ale house for maybe 10 years. I had never had a bad experience until the last 3 times I've ordered a burger. I've always requested medium rare, until after receiving a completely raw burger, I requested medium, thinking maybe there was a new cook. The medium burger was way over cooked. I tried medium rare one more time, and it was completely raw again. I'm not sure if the burgers are prepared differently when ordering takeout but this was never an issue before and I used to LOVE getting these burgers because they were delicious. But I do not enjoy having to recook the burger at home myself. Or having to order one that's way overcooked. There should be some sort of grey area, between completely raw, and completely gray. A little pink, shouldn't be too much to ask for I don't think. Please, I'd love to be able to enjoy or think ooo I could go for an Ale house burger right now instead of, maybe I'll just get a burger from somewhere else. It's super close, super convenient, and the food is 99% of the time delicious. I just have stopped ordering the burgers cause the last 3 times have been rather terrible. read more

Stunning townie atmosphere. Mini-mall acts as camoflauge. The food is rich but you don't need to be to enjoy the easygoing no-nonsense bartenders. read more

The best spot, I always look forward to coming here when visiting home. Croutons on salads are unreal

Met a pal here for some HUGE salads. Started with the pretzel with beer cheese (yummmm) and the chili (sent back not warm enough). Large and diverse menu with specials - plenty to choose from. Service was lovely and helpful with our questions and suggestions.Plenty of parking out front and the bar stools filled up quickly after we arrived. Solid menu, Good food, Friendly staff and decent prices. Too full for dessert. next time... read more

Awesome food. We went here Saturday night and although it was super busy we were seated immediately and the service was prompt and attentive. I don't go out often so when I do I like to do apps and dessert as well. My boyfriend and I decided to start with the steak and cheese egg rolls. They came with a delicious creamy horseradish and the steak was so tender and flavorful I would have had more as my entree! He got the steak tips I got the short rib French dip, which we both loved. The side of onion rings were nice and thin too, not like the ones where the onion comes out and you have a huge chunk of fry batter left. We both have leftovers and decided to save room for some strawberry shortcake (amazing) Overall a great experience, we have driven by this place so many times I'm glad we decided to try it! read more

Was very skeptical coming here for the first time for a myriad of reasons. Boy was I wrong. Great service. Delicious pub style food. Would certainly return. read more

Love it!!! Food is delicious and staff is friendly! Price is good too!! Generally go there at least twice a month!

I love their wide variety of food choices, but I need gluten free options, and didn't see on the online menu, where that information was given. I know from past experience that the food is excellent! read more

The place is convenient located so I have gone 3 times after food shopping, I never had a good experience and today was not any different. I had a bloody Marie, it was just vodka and mix, no lime or lemon. Tasted bland. Ordered some appetizers and the bartender did not come to check on the food. We needed ketchup but it was too late. They cater to the regulars. The last time I went I had a soup with nothing in it and terrible service. I emailed the manager and no response. I wish there was something better in that plaza. read more

I've love the pub style food as well as the options for dinner and specialty drinks, I wish the beer was colder but i only drink that in the summer, other than that I am completely satisfied. read more

Fun place that serves great portions of food . Service has been excellent. Recommend this place anytime.

Love this place. Food always great as are the drinks. Servers are friendly and they also have great specials. Enjoy !

We always came here in the past and always enjoyed our meal. Tonight was awful! My husband ordered marinated steak tips, baked potatoe and a side salad. The tips were not marinated and roasted potatoes given to him. When he asked the server about the baked potatoe, his response was "oh I'm sorry. It's not on the menu tonight". Nothing was offered in place of the mess up. I ordered turkey tip salad. The turkey tips came out raw so I sent them back. When I finally got my meal, the turkey tips tasted like frozen processed ones. Horrible! I just ate the lettuce. The manager, who was about 12 years old, didn't seem to care or try to offer any solution. He just apologized. We just paid the bill and crossed this place off our list. Like I said we have eaten here plenty of times and never had the experience that we had tonight. read more

They have really transformed the grassy patch outside into a wonderful outdoor seating. They have a really extensive menu with some great food and drink options. I really liked the blackened chicken BLT. Perfect ratio of each layer. The side Caesar salad was also really good. The drink was good but I thought it was a little too strong. The wait staff were really nice and brought the food out quickly. Would definitely recommend going for their new outdoor oasis! read more

We've been loyal patrons of Ashland Ale House since it first opened. As Ashland residents, it's always been a fun spot with great food and reasonable prices. However, after visiting tonight, we were shocked to see that they now allow dogs inside the restaurant. This wasn't a service dog (which, in our opinion, should not be allowed in restaurants at all, but that's another matter) -- this dog was sitting on the booth seat, and the person who brought it in was feeding it from his plate. It was absolutely disgusting. Dogs are pets, not people, and they should not be in restaurants. It's unsanitary and inconsiderate to other diners. Either leave your dog at home or reconsider dining out. We're baffled that the hostess allowed it, the server said nothing, and the manager turned a blind eye. Our next step is to contact the health department. We won't be returning anytime soon and feel it's important to let others know about the unsanitary conditions. read more

Always Great, Very friendly staff, great food and Drink I always enjoy this place fantastic selections of beers, sometimes you have to wait to be seated but that is ok with me, well worth the wait read more

Great place to be around. We couldn't figure out to have dinner so our family came here the waiter was super friendly and was quick I got the carrey grilled cheeseburger chicken parm and steak with onions and mashed potatoes. the food was great read more

We loved the place before we even sat down! Great decor, smiles on everyone's face, the smell of food being cooked, and a VERY full house of patrons having a good time. The menu is terrific, with pub classics and comfort food. Our waitress was excellent and very personable. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. What more could you ask for? We will be back! read more

I really like the Ashland Ale House. The staff is always friendly and the service is great. They have a good draft beer selection and make a good cocktail. The roast prime rib is great and the fried clams can't be beaten this side of of the coast. I love the dinner salads as well but be careful about their "sea scallop" offerings which are only salty pieces of what's left over when you clean a scallop meat before you cook a sea scallop. Chewy scallop jerky pieces are not appetizing. Go for the clams and you won't be disappointed. read more
