Located in a small shopping center. The aesthetics of the restaurant is amazing the decor puts you in a happy mood. Some of the booths have a long white pillow to support your lower back. The hostess was very informative of the specials and hours. The waitress was so pleasant and helpful. The food was hot and delicious I definitely will be going back. We were celebrating my coworkers birthday. The crab and artichoke dip with baguette bread was amazing. The calamari was crispy and the peppers were fried as well. read more

Really, really good food. I am looking forward to visiting again. Had the gumbo & fried green tomato, both were very tasty.

I have been coming to Ashling since they opened....We bring people who visit from out of town to Ashling. My previous dozen or so reviews have been 5 stars, but Im not sure whats going on and I will be calling tomorrow as well, since the manager was busy being the bartender tonight as well to discuss..... We had a reservation and were seated promptly, it was middle of the road busy...nothing crazy but not empty. Once we were seated it took about 13 minutes until i got up to go to the bar and get our table waters and cocktails. Once I got up to the bar a server came and asked me if I had a table and I said yeah, but im just getting drinks, we havent seen a server yet. She took my order and said someone would be over to get us waters. The bar was super backed up and when the drinks came out they were all the wrong drinks. Server informed me they were out of their special collab with Pherm and the cocktails were regular mojito/margarita and not the holiday version....ok cool, we will drink the regular ones for the first round, one sip in and the mojito was just seltzer water and lime....stir drink, sip again and the same!!! No sugar, not muddled mint, no rum to be detected. Server comes back by and we explain, she apologizes and we try again....Holiday mojito is good, holiday margarita was so-so. Apps: we got the brussel sprouts, french onion soup and crab dip....Crab dip was really good, fresh bread that came with it was also crisp outside and soft inside!! Brussel sprouts are terrible and I loved the old brussel sprouts!!!! The new once have no sauce, are burned to a crisp and topped with some feta. Im not sure where the balsamic glaze went, but it didnt make it in our sprouts. French Onion, we have had before and something was different...Almost like a cumin or chili powder in it!!? Not sure, but not good!! Mains: Order the Turkey leg special....They are out of it! Cool, meatloaf is old faithful and good as usual. At least no one tried to change this one! Two others got the chicken pot pie and said it was pretty good, they would have liked a pie crust topping as opposed to puff pastry topper, but still pretty good. During the meal, drinks took forever to get and we all switched to beers, hoping to help....Its coming from a can and you pour into the glass yourself! lol....It still took forever! Our server frequently checked on us throughout the meal and made sure we had waters, but said the bar situation just isnt good tonight and the manager is working the bar...... Bottom line, if this was my first visit, I would not go back!! Im not sure what the disconnect is and they will get one more try, but it was concerning and if I owned this place, I would want to know!! Main: read more

Chicly attractive and cozy ambiance. Charming and gregarious server and manager. The level of hospitality that my party received was definitely a plus. I did not partake in any libations this go round so I do not have any insight to share regarding the cocktails. I chose the fish and chips entrée. The potatoes were certainly uniquely sliced, perhaps, a bit thin for my taste. The fish was satisfactory and the sauces served with it were definitely a saving grace. My friends each had the shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles. They were well pleased with their meals. I would return to try another dish and to sip a little. ;-) read more

Went to Ashling for a family birthday with 12 people. Contacted the restaurant and they responded within 24 hours to set the reservation. When we arrived we were sat immediately in the Star Room which served several parties and was spacious. Our waitress was very attentive and offered her favorite meals and knew the menu well. Everyone enjoyed their food and agreed each plate was well seasoned with large filling portions. The drinks were made special for each guest and hit the spot. Since it was a birthday we saved room for dessert. I highly recommend the warm banana bread pudding. It was the tables favorite. read more

It is a very nicely decorated place, and the staff is very nice, however, I was not truly convinced about the food, even though they receive some high ratings. My hubby had fish and chips, however, it was not well seasoned to our liking. I come on the other hand, had the gravy burger, and it was actually very good. ...I need to come again to see if my review needs higher rating read more

I wanted to try Ashling Kitchen again. On our last visit, the food was really good but we left with a sour taste having to pay 75% of the price of a drink sent back because the bartender made it wrong. Anyhoo, let's talk about this visit. We visited on a Friday night at 730. Surprisingly it was a light crowd. Different bartender so no problem with our cocktails this time. The calamari and crab dip appetizers were plentiful and very good. Delivered hot. There's a reason I mention the food temperature....stay tuned. Our server was new and we could tell. We were forgiving in this area as he is learning, but he disappeared after we got our meals. We needed things so had to ask someone else. The real disappointment this go around was with the entrees. The presentation was beautiful - Meatloaf and Jamaican Jerk Chicken. BUT the food was lukewarm, and we're talking closer to the luke than the warm. And taste wise it was just ok. Not terrible but nothing special. We were disappointed in that. So still 3 stars for me. p.s. The manager was really good. Talked to us as we were getting up to leave and asked about our experience. We told him about our server but again we were understanding that he was new. We didn't mention the food temperature. He asked if there was anything he could do for us to make up for the lack of attentiveness, but we declined letting him know we could tell he was new and just offered feedback for improvement because everybody has a first day at some point. We appreciated his offer though. Very customer focused. read more

Date night or drinks type of vibe. Would not recommend for families Ambiance: 10/10, decorated very cute for the holidays! Parking: 6.5/10, multiple businesses in this plaza so the parking lot fills up quickly but we were able to find a parking spot relatively quickly. Noise level: LOUD, would not recommend for kids/families Food: 7/10 (me) I had the 1/2 chicken with broccolini and Parmesan truffle fries. All the food seemed to be lukewarm but especially the broccolini, they were borderline cold. The fries were a bit salty. Everything had good flavor just needed to be hotter, or brought out while it was still hot. 6/10 (date) he had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and broccolini. He said the meatloaf was a little dry but the mashed potatoes were good. His broccolini was also cold but flavorful. One interesting thing that was shared was every month they choose a region of the world and showcase their food. Overall not the greatest first impression (other than the ambiance) but I would be willing to give them another try because atleast the flavor was there. read more

Our first time dining here and we had a wonderful experience. The menu has a nice variety and we ordered the fish n chips and salmon BLT. Nicely prepared and came to the table hot. Wonderful staff greeted us at the door and our server was very attentive. Lived here for over 25 years and I regret not coming here sooner. Local vibe and neighborhood feel is another reason to come back and we will. read more

First timer. Came here for one of my GNO birthday dinner celebrations. Yes I have multiple celebrations lol Food 5 out of 5. Started with the mussels. Delish they serve this with hand cut potato frites. The garlic sauce was superb! I ordered seafood risotto w/ scallops and shrimp. Well seasoned and cooked to perfection! The portion size was enough for lunch/dinner the next day. Service 5 out of 5. Friendly staff. Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. She made great suggestions. Ambiance 5 out of 5. I must admit I wasn't expecting much with a shopping center restaurant, BUT what a PLEASANT SURPRISE to walk in to such a nicely decorated ambiance!!! Love it! Ashling is a nice elevated dining experience. It's local to me, which is a plus, not having to travel far. Check them out. I didn't get pics this time around - too busy talking and enjoying the moment. read more

Service was excellent as well as ambiance. We decided to come here for the first time (party of 2) on a Friday night. No reservation. Walked in and immediately seated, although majority of the restaurant was full. The food What we liked -- wings (ordered the old bay), Cobb salad (huge), calamari (loved it!), Jasmine cocktail (tasty and presented very well), apple cobbler/vanilla ice cream. What fell more on the dislike side -- Sangria (not sure what wine was used but it was more bitter than a sweet red), fish and chips (wanted to love this but it fell short due to too much batter and zero seasoning). We did not taste anything from the "Around the World" menu but very intrigued by it. Would like to try next time depending on the cuisine. I've been to Ledos in the same shopping center many times and honestly never noticed Ashling. Glad we "found it". read more

Atmosphere: Inviting, friendly, medium noise, surrounded by the theme of music. This spot is owned by a catering company that caters to the stars. Service/Staff: Attentive, friendly, fast and caring service. We had Robert as our service, he just might run you the wrong way when you first meet him But Be patient it won't take you long to warm up to him and he is quick and remembers everything. You'll see him and observe him and figure him out quick. He's a good waiter and can recite the entire Coming to America movie by heart...try him. Cleanliness: very clean everywhere that does include the bathrooms. Food: Most Importantly: it's very good, not the best I've ever had of anything they serve but the food is prepared well, flavored right, and comes out at the right temperature every time. My only complaint here is they brought out appetizers without serving utensils but once we brought it to their attention they immediately and quickly fixed it, and the kids meal came out last after six adults were served. This is BAD, you just take care of the little ones first. And in my opinion give kids free drinks. Overall it's a very good place. I plan on going back and trying something new. And I just might request Robert. read more

The pandemic has caused many of us to lower our expectations when it comes to dining out. Supply chain shortages lead to conspicuous modifications to many of the dishes we've come to know and love. Staffing shortages have led to overworked, grossly underpaid, in some cases under trained and in most cases completely frustrated front and back of the house staff... Who sometimes turn into rude and unpleasant customer facing staff. It seems like in many cases we are paying more to get less... And the less we get is often of a much lower quality than we are used to. In short it has become a chore to dine out. I can say definitively that I have not had what I consider a "good meal" since COVID. That all changed during my first visit to this restaurant. I experienced some challenges ordering online. After the third or fourth time I tried to place my order online, I ended up calling the restaurant. Even though they have a policy where they don't take orders over the phone, the hostess, Kaitlin, was nice enough to make an exception.... Especially since I was just about at the deadline to place to-go orders. I was right down the street and pulled into the curbside pickup space. I hadn't even had the opportunity to call and let them know that I arrived, when one of the staff members proactively walked out, confirmed my order, took my payment, and made sure to have my ice cream scooped and brought out to me just before I pulled off so that it would not melt (and I'm happy to report that it survived the 35 minute trip home intact). Now let's talk about this food. I really cannot tell you all the last time I've had anything that was this good. I mean, everything I ordered was fantastic! Here's what I tried: -Heirloom roasted beet and goat cheese salad -Steak poutine -Rasta pasta -White chocolate banana Bread pudding -Quebecer poutine -Jamaican jerk chicken -Side of smoked Gouda cheese grits Honestly, I would go back just for the salad. I hate grapefruit, but it blended so beautifully with the rest salad. And the orange vinaigrette dressing was out of this world! It was a generous portion and everything was so fresh. Absolutely delicious. Both poutines were really good. I would have preferred my steak cooked medium, and the gravy had just a pinch too much salt, but they were still fantastic! The jerk chicken was absolutely delicious. I would happily put it up against what I order at my favorite Jamaican restaurant. It might have deviated a little bit in terms of authenticity, but the flavor was undeniable... Right down to the rice and the sauce. The Rasta Pasta was easily large enough for two people to share comfortably. It was a little bit spicy, the chicken was flavorful, the pasta was cooked al dente... It could have used a pinch more salt in the sauce, but otherwise it was amazing! The smoked gouda and jalapeno cheese grits were out of this world. Easily the best grits I've ever had. And that white chocolate banana bread pudding.... Oh. My. Goodness. I was hooked the moment it touched my tongue. It wasn't mushy like some bread puddings are; it was nice and firm, but also had this chewy and delightful texture. The banana flavor was a pleasant surprise because when I initially tasted it, it tasted exactly like banana pudding... With the texture of bread pudding. Absolutely out of this world! I normally don't eat bread pudding unless it has raisins in it, but I would gladly make an exception here. I can easily say that this was the best bread pudding I've ever had. Five stars for everything; the food, the service, the wait time, everything. read more

I was alerted to Ashling's Kitchen through a check-in from a favorite Yelp friend, Lita B., thank you Lita. So stopped in to check them out. Upon arrival the hostess opened the door to greet us; nice touch. The restaurant is split into two sections, the bar area to the left and the dinning room to the right. There is a walled off private room in the back. The menu has an African-Cuisine flair and there is something for all tastes. We had the Irish Whiskey-Glazed Salmon and the English Pot Roast. The Whiskey salmon was excellent and was served with broccoli and cauliflower mix and I requested the creamy pea parmesan risotto. Risotto had great flavor but was a bit dry, possible the parmesan was the cause, and the veggies were cold. The pot roast was a good 2" thick slab of meat. Large and looked good. Only drawback was the thick fat cap left on the top. Some might like the fat cap being left on while others might find it unusual and takes away from the look of the food. Doesn't matter to me so long as the roast and gravy taste good. And it was good! My only compliant is the noise level. IT WAS LOUD and the restaurant was only 1/2 full. Most of the decibels were coming from the two tables in the bar. Ashling's could use some sound baffles in the ceiling. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for awhile! I had a coworker recommend this place so we had to try it. It's a bit of noisy atmosphere but the service and food are good! I like decor because it gives the restaurant a cozy feel. I had the fried green tomatoes and crab cake sandwich. I really liked the fried green tomatoes but the crab cake sandwich was okay. I do appreciate the big portion sizes though! I would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu. read more

We are here a couple of months ago, eight or ten of us. The decor is well appointed, trendy. The staff, the hostess and servers were professional and personable. The food, excellent!

5 stars for the amazing food and service - overall we had a great time celebrating my friends birthday here. The casual, clean, covid-safe ambiance is great. At first glance I would not expect this great experience judging from the outside of the shopping center. I was expecting a larger, stand-alone location but Ashling definitely shows out upon entry. We were promptly welcomed and the birthday menu was a nice touch for my friend. Our server Daniel was attentive and made wonderful recommendations for us. The bar is a decent size and I was able to see a variety of drinks being ordered from the view of my table. I decided to try the Ashling and the old fashioned was made well. My friend had the Jasmine cocktail and Lola lemonade and enjoyed both. We started with the Ashling Naked Wings and tried their mango rum sauce and sweet ginger chili sauce - both are good. I enjoyed the brussel sprouts but my friend was not a fan because they were tossed with the same sweet ginger chili sauce - I didn't mind it. It was different to have such a sweet sauce when I usually get them roasted or with some sort of fish sauce and maybe parmesan cheese. The truffle fries were amazing with the right hint of parmesan and truffle, definitely the stand out appetizer for us. As for entrees, I thoroughly enjoyed the Irish Whiskey Glazed Salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the parmesan risotto was flavorful and definitely complimentary to the salmon. The veggies were seasoned well and delicious. My friend had the Southern Style Seafood Gumbo and could not stop raving about the amount of seafood and veggies. It was a hearty, flavorful base and she appreciated the boldness of the gumbo. Extra points for the chef coming out to speak with all the guests. He was kind and fun to chat with and share our appreciation for the good food. For dessert, I was not a fan of the key lime pie. It was entirely too sour and the raspberry sorbet was somewhat melted and running into my slice. It looked like a sloppy, small cut as well, but presentation aside, the flavor wasn't to my liking to make me want to try it again. I've had their Smith Island Cake from their food truck in the past which was pretty good (preferably the original over the Oreo - best served chilled). She had the birthday ice cream and Smith Island cake which was enjoyed. I look forward to coming back and enjoying more of the specialties here at Ashling. It was a welcoming place to dine in and enjoy a casual atmosphere and good food and drinks. read more

I don't know why we've never come here. It's not like Crofton is a long drive. Very unassuming from the front. Wedged in a small shopping center. FYI parking can be tight. Only taking reservations at the moment. So promptly seated. They do check temps and other covid things. Jeff was our server and was awesome! On it with drinks and meal advice. Drinks: hubby had the goose island and I had the cucumber and lemonade cocktails. The cucumber is probably my favorite. Could easily get toasted on that one. Very fresh but not overly veggie is flavor. App: fried green tomatoes were huge and tasty. It's one of my markers for a good meal. If you can do this right you are good. And they did. Crispy tomatoes. Gooey pimento cheese. Dinner: Irish whiskey glazed salmon for me and southern burger for the hubby. I had every intention of saving him a bite then I had a bite and that went out the window. Sweet fancy Moses. And the risotto was creamy perfection. Hubby powered thru his burger. Had a nice spicy kick. The fried cheese could be an app all it's own in his opinion. Dessert: ended up with the key lime pie. Tart and refreshing. The sorbet was especially nice. Very cool vibe inside. Will absolutely be back. read more

This is one of those "hidden gems" that I've been meaning to write a review on for some time. This was my third visit to Ashling over the past year. Each time, the food and drink are consistently high quality, delicious, and flavorful. The calamari is a staple anytime I visit. Yesterday, I devoured two perfectly crafted raspberry Bellinis. I'll be going back for one (or three more) of those. My boyfriend and I said we plan to Lyft or Uber the next time we visit so we can truly enjoy the drink menu. At any rate, we both are excited to go back! New date night spot. read more

Seriously forgot I was in a strip mall the moment I walked in. This place was a hidden gem for me. I'm suckered for ambiance & Ashling definitely passed the vibe check. I went for the first time for Brunch on a Sunday in a group of three. And we were all pleasantly surprised. The staff greeted us with the smile, and our server addressed us like we were life long friends. We all ordered entrees, split an appetizer & dessert, a mocktail, and a mimosa, and the bill came up to less than $100. The portions were good. I ordered the banana foster French toast which was delicious if you like sugar. The Buffalo Cauliflower was *chefs kiss*.... perfectly crisp, and the sauce comes on the side as to not soggy the "wings". We ended by sharing the Banana Bread Pudding, & it did not disappoint. I'll definitely be back to check out the happy hour, the bar looked top tier. Ashling is like the perfect mix between your local comfort spot, and your favorite posh spot. read more

Service was nice and place is good with decent ambiance. We reserved the place for 6:30 about 2 hours before. We were seated almost as soon as we walked in at 6:30 although the place was crowded on the Friday evening. Food was decent. Calamari was really good. Broccoli grill was not that great. I ordered vegan burger with sweet potato fries and found it pretty good. My wife ordered fish and chips....and that was well, without much flavor! Overall, we liked it.

The ambiance is awesome! Food is fresh, menu is creative! I had the salmon Benedict & my friend had the pancakes banana foster-style. Hers was good but the turkey links came out cold for some reason. The Salmon Benedict came with a choice of home fries or Gouda grits - so I chose the later. They were good, but I'm more used to a more yellow cheese in my grits, if they have to be cheesy. Server was on point, food came out quickly, just down know why the links would be cold (my friend didn't want to complain). The bar looked nice, I'll be back to watch a game and/or just hit HH!________________________________________________________ read more

Food Truck visits from July, September, October, November 2020: The first visit to their restaurant (within weeks of opening) didn't go so well. I vowed not to return for a long time. I'm elated to say I gave their food truck a chance, and I'm glad I did! This is what we've ordered from them: - Chicken Quesadilla (chicken, cheese, peppers, onions) with lettuce and sour cream: Quesadillas were pretty full. It was a little heavy on the peppers and onions for my taste but they were soft and tasted good with the chicken and cheese. The lettuce was fresh. - Chicken Tender Basket with fries and honey mustard dip: One of my favorites from them. The chicken tenders are a decent size. They're crispy and juicy (a must!) and have a great taste to them. The fries were good and tasted even better dipped in honey mustard. - Philly Cheese Steak with fries: This is my dad's favorite. He even went as far to say it's his favorite steak and cheese in the area. That is a huge compliment coming from him. The steak is high quality and flavorful. He also enjoyed the fries. - Greek Chicken Pita: The pita was toasted perfectly. There were 4 huge chunks of chicken and onion and tomatoes on top. It had the right amount of tzatziki sauce. Another one of my favorites. - Breakfast Burrito (scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, sausage, potato hash, cheddar cheese) with ranchero sauce on top and fixings on the side: There is no way you'll be hungry after eating this bad boy! This burrito is huge. It's stuffed with eggs, bacon, sausage, potato, and cheese... what's not to like? It was really good. The ranchero has a bit of a kick to it. - Potato Hash: SO. DANG. GOOD! Honestly, what fried potato isn't? But they crisp them up perfectly. I have to stop myself from shoveling them in mouth. - Ashling's Breakfast Sandwich (scrambled eggs, sausage, potato hash, cheddar cheese, toasted English muffin) with potato hash: My dad really loved this sandwich. Instead of bacon, my dad asked for sausage. They halved two sausages and stuck them on the sandwich. The English muffin was fresh and soft. Everything was cooked perfectly. The sandwich was pretty big, so he only ate half that day. He thought the potato hash was excellent as well. Overall, I am very happy to report how much we enjoyed their food truck. I'm happy (and so are my taste buds) that we gave them another chance. This makes me hopeful to go back to their restaurant. I believe their menu has changed a bit, so I'm curious to see what they're offering. read more

I recently visited Ashling Kitchen for its 5th Birthday. I was promptly greeted by the hostess. The restaurant was decorated for a birthday party, with #5 balloons all over the place. I took my seat at the bar and checked out the birthday specials. I ended up ordering old bay chicken wings and crab dip. The chicken was seasoned well and the ranch. Tasted like someone was back in the kitchen mixing up mayo, sour cream, dill and whatever else goes in homemade ranch. The dip came out nice, hot and bubbly. It wasn't overloaded with crap but it was enough. I would order each item again. Friendly staff and great food! Put Ashling Kitchen on your must visit list! read more

A must go for the DMV. The location is tucked into a small strip mall in Crofton, just north of Bowie which is probably a lower rent compared to a Laurel or Annapolis. However, the place s always packed and the staff and food are phenomenal. The international portion of the menu changes every week, but the main menu has it's staples and are the go-to's. The restaurant is large enough to have private party in the rea and still have plenty of room in the main dining area and plenty of high chairs at and around the bar. read more

We ate at Ashling kitchen and Bar on Friday night. Our server was lovely - very attentive. The food was delicious! I had the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and carrots and my husband had the rockfish imperial which he really enjoyed! The food was very well prepared- very fresh! For dessert we had a delicious apple cobbler! Amazing! What a way to finish off a meal. We have been to Ashling a handful of times and have never had a bad meal. They always do a fabulous job in the kitchen. One small complaint- though we know it is not on the fault of the restaurant. A family of six was sitting near us. One of the children had his tablet on and the volume was very loud. It was very disruptive to our meal The parents did nothing to turn the volume down. We asked our server if she could talk to the mom. Our server spoke to the server of that table and returned back to us and said that table was getting ready to leave. 20 minutes later that table was still there and very loud tablet was still going. in comparison there was another family of six next to us and the two girls were watching something on their phones. We did not hear their volume at all. Parents need to learn how to parent and/or restaurant managers or someone need to enforce a policy regarding electronics at the table. We will return to Ashling but if this situation occurs again..we will be upset if nothing is done to fix it read more

Okay, the vibe and atmosphere is great! The food? I didn't care for it. I got the crab dip, fries, and blackened shrimp tacos. The crab dip was good, extra extra creamy, I never had crab dip so creamy before. The tacos, were not good. Very basic, not enough sauce, the toppings were skimp, and above all... The tortilla shell was rubby and tough. The fries were below average, no seasoning, crunchy/dried out. My brother got salmon blt and said it was "okay", not good just okay. We got banana bread pudding we didn't like that and also got the brownie sundae. The brownie didn't even fill the whole pan and it was $10! I know I won't be returning. Our waitress Jessica was great though! read more

I can't speak to the restaurant, as we got takeout from the truck when it came to our neighborhood. My daughter picked up the food and said it was quick and easy. As someone else mentioned, the tacos (in this case, lamb) were nestled into a recyclable container just made for tacos. The two other dishes - Cuban panini with fries, and crab pretzel - were in plastic squares that are sturdy enough to reuse. They will be washed and added to our motley collection for leftovers. There were certainly no leftovers today! Between DD, SIL and I, we polished off that food in no time. The lamb tacos were amazing; stuffed with tender, flavorful chunks of meat, tzatziki, feta and a bit of lettuce: perfection. The pretzel was soft and chewy, and the slightly spicy crab and cheese melt over top was so ooey-gooey yummy! The fries were like steak fries, hefty and well-seasoned, slightly crispy on the outside and just soft enough on the inside. And the panini was delish! I'm a fan after one try, so somed itay I'll really enjoy eating in the restaurant. For now, I'll hit up the truck whenever it's close. read more
