    Jack was a great server and he was in training by Brooke, who also asked me how everything went! It was really good! My eggs were done the way I like them, extract crispy bacon 3 slices, marble rye toast, and a nice creamy bowl of grits! Food arrived quick and got! I wasn't nuts about the black plates and cups, but a minor detail and preference. This place is big! Booths lines both walls, high tops in the front and low 4 tops in the middle. Plus a really nice patio with outdoor seating and umbrellas! The price was great! $10 for breakfast is a good deal! And the restrooms were clean! Sooo, yes, checked all the boxes and I'll be back!! Can't wait to try the pancakes and others items on the menu!

    What can I say about this cute foodie spot nestled in Ashland, Cafe 54 Breakfast and Lunch! The staff was very welcoming and the venue was modern, nicely decorated and well maintained. The menu is small but offers some pretty tasty food. My niece ordered the French toast with eggs and sausage (4/5 very tasty and served hot). Mimi ordered the tuna sandwich with chips (we swapped halves and the tuna was really good 4/5 and paired well with the kettle chips) and I ordered the chicken salad and fruit (I'm a bit biased with chicken salad but theirs was pretty good 3/5 and the fruit was freshly cut and sweet 5/5). Overall a lovely experience and we highly recommend you checking them out! Can't wait to go back!

    I had the loaded avocado toast on gluten free toast. It's nice to have a breakfast spot in Ashland. Food was good and Brooke was awesome! I recommend this place if you're in downtown Ashland.

    Completed a morning walk on Saturday and made it to the restaurant just in time for the end of their soft opening. We were greeted right away and seated immediately. Our waitress stopped and acknowledged us and returned quickly to start our order. We ordered drinks which were promptly brought to the table by a young man helping the wait staff. We noticed that this young man was also delivering food out to the tables but was also busy picking up dishes once meals were complete. The restaurant space has been updated nicely. Bathrooms were clean as was the rest of the restaurant; even after a full morning of serving breakfast! We shared the avocado toast topped with greens and bacon and the veggie omelette - 10 out of 10 for both! Very impressed with the hostess, and presume owner "Dom", when 2 young ladies walked in just after closing. While they did not seat them for dining in they did give them a menu and allowed them to place a take out order. This level of service definitely deserves an A+ and we hope it will define this restaurant for a long time to come. Lastly appreciate the option of saving a little bit of $$$ when paying with cash. We will definitely be back to try the lunch menu - keeping our fingers crossed that the experience will be the same!!!

It was a bit hidden but great location next to an actual train track. Interestingly enough, a train passed through while we dinned. I'm sure the outside experience it better than indoors. However, the outside tables is more limited. They feature a small menu, but you can tell they focus on fresh ingredients. Quality over quantity. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich, and it was easily one of the best I have ever had! What really elevates it is the inclusion of thinly sliced apples; they provide a fantastic crunch and a perfect sweet-tart balance. You have to try it! We stopped by during a busy Tuesday lunch rush, and despite the place being packed, the staff was very attentive. Everyone was kind and clearly working hard, doing their absolute best to check in on us and keep things moving. Highly recommend this local spot for a fresh, high-quality lunch!

I had a side salad which was simple but really delicious! It was a great first experience and I'm looking forward to going back! My kind of place for sure!

First, I checked out the menu that is posted on the wall, and tried to make the right decision. EVERYTHING is homemade. Ok, I decided on the Tuna Salad on a white homemade yeast roll. You can select one side, so I had cucumber, tomato and onion salad. I couldn't pass up on fresh lemonade and a slice of one of the most delicious coconut pie I've ever had. The lady that took my order was soooo sweet and of course knowledgeable of the menu. I didn't feel rushed, just relaxed. Soooo we had the most interesting conversation that concluded her parents knew my mother back in the day. I didn't expect tears of joy at lunch. It was lovely! I didn't get her name, but I'll never forget her until I return with friends and family to experience this "small town" treasure. Ok, the food. The roll was golden brown, soft and screamed HomeMade. It was filled with a white flaky and well seasoned tuna salad, topped with fresh crunchy shredded lettuce. YUM ! The cucumber, grape tomato and onion salad had a lite vinaigrette dressing. Fresh !! There is freshly made strawberry lemonade, lemonade, Iced tea and the Pepsi fountain drink products. Ok, the star of the show. That slice of coconut pie was Perfect. The crust was brown, very flaky and filled with a thick creamy coconut filling. This little cute old town restaurant is next to the railroad track and train station that's across from Randolph Macon College. It's popular to the students and residents of Ashland. If you would like A DELICIOUS Lunch in a warm and cute small town restaurant, come to Homemade's by Suzanne!!!! Thank you

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.

It was so simple and so good!! Now I'm back and I want the full Southern experience. The deli lunch special was pimento grilled sandwich, and I added VA ham! It was FABULOUS! Ordered Cherrwine soda, a bag of chips and a double chocolate ice cream sandwich all for $16! What an experience!! I didn't get any of their meats or other gourmet products, but this would be my go-to place if I lived nearby. I ate this on a picnic table outside the public library and got to take in the quiet downtown area. I very much enjoyed Ashland Meat Market and everything the town has to offer.

I went to pick it up today and this is a cured and ALREADY smoked ham. When I called to address the issue, the manager laughed at me and said "oh, well I guess we dont have what you wanted then" I now have to entirely change my plans AND disappoint my family on Christmas eve because I promised them all a home smoked ham for dinner. I wouldn't recommend ordering from here unless you want incompetence.
