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!

Ambience was good and easy to talk when in a booth. LOVE the NEW Silverware!!!! Ordered the Meat Lovers and it was good pizza . Crust could have been a little crispier but all 4 of us agreed we would have ordered it again as the flavor of the toppings were very very good. Large was Ok for 4 people but nicer if XLarge was offered. It's small so I'm glad NO SMOKING ALLOWED. We will be back as their menu has a lot of options.

Outside isn't the greatest and the strip mall location attached to a gas station is probably the reason why. My son said that the food is great and we really should give it a try. Well we're glad we did. The food is great (cheese calzone) was fantastic and inside is quaint. Beer selection is hard to match.

My mom had the crab cakes and added a side of beans, which she loved. She also had a slice of pie and said it was okay. Considering the day's events, service was great.

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.

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.

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.
