This is as good an eatery and bar as one can find. The ambiance is chill, the food is very good, and the service flexes. Had the steak broccolini tonight and it was delicious. Washed it down with an arnold Palmer. Both were fantastic. Also the giant pretzel is amazing too. read more

Ashland Hill's Fish and Chips are fantastic crispy, golden batter with flaky, fresh fish inside. The fries are perfectly cooked and not greasy, and the tartar sauce adds just the right tang. Portions are generous, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. A go-to spot if you're craving classic, well-done fish and chips. read more

Surprisingly has the best pretzel I've ever had and I've tried many. The other food items are really tasty too. They have great happy hour deals and kind service. Would highly recommend if you're on Main Street! Ambiance is hit or miss - meaning it could be a lively place with great people watching if you sit outside..or it could be pretty quiet and dead - but both can be positive experiences depending on your wants. ;) read more

Right off of a main road in Santa Monica with lots of shopping and other things to do, this spot is situated perfectly for a quick break to eat and have a drink (or a few). Very walk-able area and much people watching. I don't think I saw an option to eat inside but there's plenty space out on the sidewalk and parking lot with tables set up. The service was good. I ordered the chicken wings which were tasty. I find it rare that wings are cooked to perfection and this was no exception. Under-cooking chicken is a real risk so I understand over-cooking but it wasn't so overcooked that it was lacking in flavor or taste. read more

Got one of each flavor of the Tacos Tacos Tacos and the fish was definitely the best one. Did not love the falafel taco and the bulgogi was a bit chewy. Fries were sooo good, loved the seasoning and it came with so much. The employees were very nice and there is plenty of seating read more

Decent spot for a burger! Not my favorite I've had but it's good if you're in the area and want a quick burger. I think mine was a little overcooked on how I'd prefer it but it was still good. I really liked the fries. The ahi tuna tacos were really good just a tad bit salty. The drinks here are okay. It's a nice vibe to sit and chill. read more

Nice brunch spot, enjoyed their sunny patio. It's very casual and a wide selection of food items. You order at the counter and they bring food/drinks to your table. I had the ashland hash, it was good but a bit heavy on the potatoes, I wish there was more meat instead read more

I was looking for a salad and my partner wanted a burger and Sunday Night football so dropping in to this place was right on point. I added chicken to the generously portioned avocado Caesar salad and enjoyed the oversized onion rings as well. Service is quick casual, order at the sidewalk window and walk back into the dog friendly covered heated patio with TV and/or playlist. Paired our meals with local beers on draft, but the wines by the glass would have been a good choice too. read more

Walking Main Street on a Sunday afternoon we finally decided to give this place a try. We were actually planning on eating at The Galley but it wasn't open yet and we were craving Fish and Chips. Glad we found Ashland Hill! Their Fish and Chips were so tasty. The battered fish was really good, albeit slightly greasy (could have been left to drain another minute before serving). The Parmesan Fries were perfect. We had the Bloody Mary's which were some of the best we've found in a long time. Artfully garnished and flavorful. Years ago we used to eat here when it was Wildflour Pizza. We loved that Ashland Hill retained the same casual, comfortable atmosphere that we had enjoyed so many years ago. They have a full bar and and extensive menu that should satisfy everyone. I recommend giving them a try. read more

Love love the staff here! So chill and always helpful. The spot is easy to find and fairly easy to get a table/seated. Most seating is outside but there's a few tables in the back that are more covered if that's your vibe. I've gotten so many things from here lol, but some favorites are: chicken and waffles, fish and chips, their burger, the pretzel, and their breakfast burrito! read more

Recently stumbled across this place while taking an after dinner stroll on Main St. I love how we were able to casually walk up to the window and order a good glass of wine. Plenty of outdoor seating on the sidewalk and patio. Friendly service. Great for a date or time with friends. read more

6:30pm on a saturday night, no lines. Order at the front counter, pay, grab your number and find a seat. My BF and I ordered 2 burgers (one beef and one turkey... hold the fries). The beef was juicy and perfectly red, medium rare, with the right amount of sharp cheese, tomato, caramelized onions and their special sauce. Turkey burger seemed like a defrosted turkey patty, but the toppings made up for any shortcomings with coleslaw, pickled onions, peppers and cheese, the menu said goat cheese but I swore it tasted like feta...no matter what it was.. it was great burger on a drizzly saturday night. read more

I live near this place but I only eat here every couple of months. The reason being I keep hoping the food will start having some flavor, but I'm always disappointed. It's prepared well, the staff is friendly, but the food tastes like what I imagine astronauts food tastes like. Completely devoid of any flavor. I only write this because I'm hoping they'll change, as it is a good neighborhood spot. read more

My partner lives near Ashland Hill and we love the energy, food, drink, and social happy hour here. The regular bartender (owner?) is really friendly without being overbearing. If I can recommend one thing, it's the chicken shawarma wrap -- it's delicious, huge, fresh, and keeps me coming back. Dog and kid friendly but also great for social drinks. read more

For the price of the dish the food was absolutely not worth it. I got chicken and waffles and the chicken was rubbery and the serving size was incredibly small as well. read more

Lovely ambiance, kindest most attentive staff and awesome location! The bartenders are exceptionally friendly and hospitable read more

Got the eggs Benedict and the eggs came out hard boiled. After looking at the pictures here, seems like they regularly hard poach their eggs. If you like poached eggs done correctly on your Benedict, I'd suggest don't run the risk. read more

I love Ashland Hill and have been here a number of times. It is a great place to bring friends and family visiting the Santa Monica area. The drinks are great, the food is all delicious, and the extended seating options always make for a great time! Food - I have tried the fish tacos and the Caesar salad, as well as the burger. All delicious options! I really enjoy the fish tacos and tend to gravitate towards those every time I visit. Portion size is very good and you will definitely feel full going there for lunch! Drinks are great, I have tried a number of the different cocktails and there are also beer options as well. Service - You order at the counter and then take a number to your table of choice. Everyone who works here has always been very friendly and accommodating! Ambiance - The patio seating in the back is great for large groups. TVs allow for a great spot to grab a bite and watch a game! There is additional seating along Main St. Sometimes there is music as well but not too loud! The location is perfect if you are spending the day at the beach or anywhere in the West LA area. read more

Just had a couple drinks here with friends. Cool place, the back patio is a lot larger than it appears from the front. I just had a couple beers the server did bring me the wrong one the second time but it wasn't bad so I didn't send it back. Nothing spectacular but cool spot for a couple drinks with friends. read more

When it says "locals only" I think they mean it. We walked by and saw it had outside seating. And it was a nice day. We got a salad and the chicken and waffles. Both were ok food wise. Not amazing but not bad. The service wasn't great though. Overall the person that took our order and who brought out the food were unfriendly. Wouldn't go again. It kinda of seems like they didn't want out of town people. read more

I'm met a friend there yesterday. I walked by the front where their staff could see me to the back patio. There was a full bar back there and a bunch of people. Staff came and went. My friend met me. No one ever came over to see if we wanted anything or told us that we had to go upfront to order or anything. So two stars for location and a nice patio. Kind of crazy that we weren't asked to order anything and we just sat there and talked for about an hour and then left. You'd think someone that worked there would've asked us if we wanted anything or told us to go upfront to order. Very strange. read more

My friend and I came here and really loved the ambience and food here! The food is delicious and we ordered the chicken and waffles and the churro style french toast as well as mimosas and coffee. The place is set up like a brewery that serves drink and brunch which is really cool concept. You order your food at the counter then go sit and they bring out your food. The reason I'm giving 3/5 stars is due to cleanliness. We picked a table but all the tables were dirty and not cleaned off between guests so we ended up having to wipe it down ourselves. Additionally I found dog hair on the table we were at. I get this place is pet friendly which is amazing but definitely need to clean in between guests! The other downside is the parking. Since it's in Santa Monica there was no parking lot and we had to pay for parking. All of this aside I will return at some point to give the place another chance and try more delicious food! read more

Great service and good vibe to grab drinks and some pub food with some friends. Super friendly staff and good selection on tap.

Cute little place to stop by when walking around Santa Monica! It's right next to some shops & a great place for a quick bite to eat It's all outdoor seating & has heat lamps Nashville spicy chicken sandwich 7/10: was not spicy at all! Not too sure if maybe they gave me the wrong sandwich, but they said they soak their chicken in the hot sauce, I also felt like it needed more coleslaw/lettuce! Chicken was beautifully breaded & crusted though! Grilled Chicken Sandwich 8/10: was lacking some flavor, the sauce it came with didn't compliment the sandwich all too well. Chicken was cooked great! Service was kind & attentive! The ambiance was date friendly/small gatherings/ small party friendly. You walk up to order food & drinks & they are brought to you read more

Exceeded all expectations! All breakfast items were super delicious! I love a good Benedict but it's hard to find the right sauce in it... AH nicely surprised with it! It was a great Benedict, nice sauce and the sis rod the portion is everything! Also Breakfast Burito tasted amazing, and the best part was that it had rice!! Loved it! April Sprits was nice and strong. Moreover, service was fast and friendly, despite the long line. If you are planning to breakfast there- it's a great choice! Also, sit in the patio, it's the cutest. Music also had some nice jams! I enjoyed AH and would definitely come back! read more

Today gave it another try since I was last there years ago, not long after they opened. It's a nice layout lots of outdoor dining space. Service was fine enough. Unfortunately the food was not prepared well or tasty today. We were looking for brunch and they had a few items to choose from. My friend enjoyed her chilaquiles (admittedly she likes her food very basic) but my Benedict was not good. The eggs were undercooked, the muffin soggy and untoasted and the hollandaise sauce was served chilled. I couldn't figure what the heck was going on. The salad it came with was lacking dressing and tasteless, but by this point I just gave up. If I ever had to go back I'd just get the burger - that looked good passing by. read more

LOVE it here. Always clean (even the bathrooms) and the servers/bus boys are always so attentive and friendly. Food is great too for a good price. Love happy hour also. 11/10 read more

This place is so good that I literally went here for three days straight this weekend and brought other people two of those times. Best vibes in the neighborhood. I LOVE their tuna poke bowl! Nachos are excellent and they come with chicken or beef. Love their burger too. Honestly, I've loved everything I've tried on their menu. They also have a happy hour during the week. This is a place where the vibes are so good and you can come here alone or with a huge group of friends and still feel welcome. The people that work here are so nice and friendly and make you feel welcome! This is my favorite spot on Main Street and every time I come to visit Santa Monica or Venice, I make sure to come here first! read more

The chicken and waffles here are the best I've ever had without exaggeration. The waffles are very fluffy and anything else I've gotten on the menu never disappoints. If you're on main st or anywhere in Santa Monica this should be a place you try if you haven't. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! I've been here twice for drinks. I love sitting outside. You just go right up and order whatever food or drinks you want and they'll bring it to you. Can him with my two girlfriends for brunch. I had an iced latte. We all shared a basic caesar salad with avocado and the french toast. Caesar salad was solid but that french toast. I did not expect it to be THAT tasty! It was so crispy and stayed crispy until we finished it. It was THAT good! This is a great place to come with your dog, friends, etc. and peso por watch! Great for brunch, lunch, and dinner. Go for food, coffee, or cocktails! read more

Upbeat small joint to enjoy a casual meal. Ordered two burgers, fries, blonde beer, Diet Coke. The presentation of the burger is great. The taste was good... really meaty and filling. The service is just ok. The servers aren't as attentive. Seem to drop food off and go. You arder your food at the front so seems like they just deliver. Any extras food you have to order at front window not through them. The fries were not warm enough this time. Not sure what happened. But overall great place to go to. read more

Overrated & Overpriced. And over it. Disappointed about this place. They're supposed to be known for their burgers. I specifically asked about how they cook their temperatures, went on their advice and they overcooked and dried it out anyway. No, I didn't give them the opportunity to fix it, was too annoyed paying $26 for a bacon cheeseburger w/ fries. Calamari were the smallest I've ever seen and mainly just the fried bread. Meh. Appetizer which they call a starter didn't come out as an appetizer it came out with the meal. (That's why they call them appetizers). Leaned toward the 2 stars because it says "could've been better" but Indidnt wanna be too harsh.... read more

Dog friendly! We sat out front in the protected patio area. This is not a full service restaurant. You must order and pay for your food at the front window. They will give you a number and you need to find a table. My Cobb salad was delicious! I loved the Crunch of the garbanzo beans. I wou definitely order this salad again. It was very filling. My friend ordered the tuna tacos and she said if one likes spicy, then this might be good. She can't handle spicy foods well, but she was hungry so she ate all three tacos and her mouth was in fire. This place is casual and has a nice vibe for people watching . The restaurant has a full bar and specialty cocktails as well as beer and cider. read more

Stumbled into the back patio for a drink on Saturday night solely based on the good vibes from walking by. Then Michael made me one of the best martinis I've ever had in my life!! Empress gin stirred with a twist. And his secret sauce really made it special. The man clearly knows his stuff, and it makes such a difference! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

Decent neighborhood spot when you need a quick bite. I've eaten here 10+ times and even though it's not my favorite food or favorite cocktails, it hits the spot when you're in a pinch. The burger is solid, the fries are crispy and the other items I've had throughout my visits have all been pretty decent. The line and wait can get longer than they need to be at times. I've also had some duds on friendly service once or twice, but for the most part I like and keep coming back here. read more
