We were on a road trip and saw the sign for Jackie Ray's. We love to support small businesses, so decided to give it a try. My phone was dead so I couldn't check reviews etc. We pulled up to a cool historic building in a bedroom community of Central Ohio. This is a gem! Great food, and great people! We were warmly welcomed, and on our way out the owner asked us how our dinner was. He told us the story of the restaurant, and we became fast friends! Wish it was closer to home! read more

The ambiance of the old brick building was great! The owner stopped by to see how our meal was and told us some history of the building. I had the meatloaf that had bbq sauce on it, just the way I like it. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. The meal was very good. My wife had the burger and fries and said the burger was very good and the bun was nicely toasted. We will definitely be back to try the other dinners and the desert. read more

Let me tell you we came in to eat on a Sunday afternoon, it was packed because of all the basketball games happening. Abby our server was wonderful she didn't skip a beat, made sure the drinks were refilled and our food was to our likening. The owner was also out, bussing tables, getting drinks and placing orders as again they were slammed. Food was cooked to perfection and so amazing, everything from the pizza, to fish to dessert. This place deserves so much recognition just alone for their Sunday service. Thanks so much for a great time! read more

The food seems to be inconsistent. It's been good and not-so-good. The entrées sound and look good, but the prices are a bit high, imho. Good service. The ambience is dated and old fashioned, which kinda matches its typical customer. They used to offer appetizer specials during happy hour, and that was better than overpaying for an entrée. read more

Great night of taste explosion! Vance and Kelly our server hit a home run with Valentines dinner! The fillet and lobster for 2 was amazing! Great job, read more

They had great food & great service!! The manager showed us pictures of the building & told us the history of it over the years. We looking forward to our next visit! read more

Best food in the area! If you want a well rounded excellent dinner this is the place to go!

Worst service and margaritas ever. Kelli was extremely rude and definitely ignored us. We left before order bc she was yelling at someone we know!! read more

Best Buffalo chicken pizza in Ohio! Worth the drive from Columbus, convenient pickup window as well. They must use high quality ingredients, the food is really great, and never disappointing. read more

Jackie Ray's Grill - Buffalo chicken pizza, taste is incredible! - Pubs Near Me - Ashville, Ohio

Honestly I really wanted to like this place. My husband and I try to eat local but this was just overall disappointing. If I wanted to spend $70 bucks for 2 adults and 2 children whose meals were $5 each, I would have gone to Grove City or Chillicothe. It took over an hour and a half to get our meals. We ended up boxing it up and leaving. Food was good. If you are going to order from here, pick up the pizza to go. read more

This restaurant has completely went down hill. The time before last I was there the owner was doing shots and wasted behind the bar, drunk and being super loud. The last time, today, I ordered Chicken parm and the chicken was a half of a chicken breast. I should have taken a picture. The waitress was inattentive - took almost a half hour to take our order. When I asked about the portion size the waitress said yeah, that is not normal, I'll just give you a discount. I just said forget it I haven't touched it please take it off my bill. Never going back. I never write reviews either that's how disappointing this was. read more

I would give it zero stars but not an option. They weren't busy and the service was slow. I paid with my debit card, didn't put the tip on my card but paid the tip with cash. I always keep my receipts until the charge clears my bank account; I've had problems in the past. My charge just cleared the bank and they decided to add an extra tip. My suggestion, if you go, pay by cash! read more

Poor service... bad food. Was getting food made incorrectly and was not fixed after telling the server it was was horrible.

Absolutely nothing to complain about! Atmosphere is great, service was wonderful, food was satisfying! The garlic Parmesan wings were fully loaded with meat & sauce & were just amazing! The two pizzas we picked were well done & different! All was very very yummy! read more

I visited Jackie Ray's for the second time this past week, and it was pretty good. My friend lives in South Bloomfield, and there aren't many decent restaurants in the immediate area, so this has become our default when at his place. Jackie Rays is easy to find and has lots of parking. The inside is cozy, if not a bit dark and claustrophobic. They also have a patio area out back that's is decent too. As for the food, I had an Italian sub the last time, and it was well executed with the right amount of meats and toppings, and toasty from the oven. This time I had the pulled pork mac-n-cheese. This is kind of a stress test for a restaurant, because most places like this resort to microwaving everything. Not the case here. The mac was actually penne, the sauce was pretty good and probably made to order in the pan, and the pork was hot and moist without tasting old or reheated. The bar is great, with a beer selection to match, and our waitress was a sweetheart. Everyone in the place, employees and customers, were very friendly. A nice local joint. read more

I love this place. Great food, even better staff. Located in a historic building. The owner, Vince, does a wonderful job making customers feel welcome. read more

Misty was our server for my daughter's baby shower. She was amazing. Also the facility was super nice and food was amazing.

Everyone wearing masks and tables spaced out. Tasty soups and dishes. The decor was cute (valentines) and the restaurant is clean. This is a little pricey for the portion size. read more

Worst restaurant I have ever been too. Worst customer service. The manager lady is the rudest person I have ever met and thinks she can touch customers for no reason. Food tasted horrible and was very overpriced. I Got chicken Mac and cheese and it came out with no chicken. I waited 30 extra mins for chicken and my Mac and cheese was cold by the time I got it. Chicken was extremely dry and food was super bland. The manger yelled at me because my server asked if I liked it because I hadn't ate any and I told her not really. So the manager stormed out yelling at me saying she isn't taking it off the bill even tho I never asked. Food is terrible and management is horrible. Save your money! Worst experience ever! read more

When we arrived in the restaurant there were only two other couples there. I ordered a drink and when the waitress brought my drink; she did not take our orders. So we sat there while she waited on a table of 4 who came in after us. I figured someone would come and take our order, but no one came. Then when I saw the table of 4 get their food before us that was the last straw! I told my husband, "let's go." I think they are understaffed and they are very slow. We will not be going back. My husband paid for my drink regardless of her telling us there was no charge. It's sad you cannot get good service anyplace anymore. read more

First time in & not the last. The atmosphere gives such a warm and open feeling from the spacious bar to high and low tables. Wide variety of entertainment with the multiple tvs behind the bar. Their menu was overloaded with so many options on different styles of food and assortment of beverages. Prices may seem high to some but for the quality in the service, it's well worth it! Non the less we will definitely come back. The owners take great care of the establishment and quality control. read more

Amazing service even better food! Pizza was great Pecan salmon is to die for! Will definitely be coming back!

Great Food! Recommend the Chicken Sacramento, it's amazing. The rhubarb brownie and fried ice cream, fuggedaboutit! Brittany was a great server. The owners Vince and Crystal are wonderful! read more

Service is slow and the food tastes as if a novice cook is trying to make a master chef's recipe without the proper training. Poor execution. Nice ambiance and a good idea but it's not there yet. We tried 3 times and gave up. read more

Been coming for years now and the food never disappoints. I love the stuffed mushroom appetizer, wedge salad and Buffalo chicken pizza. Friendly and personable staff. Cozy fireplace by the bar. Good range of food on the menu read more

Went one time and didnt go back. Steak was horrible. Thick and tough. Nothing we had was great to make us want to come back.

Im just visiting, came in at 9pm this establishment is very clean, great atmosphere, and staff. The server Misty is fantastic, the manager was great greeted us and came to talk to us. The soup is FANTASTIC. The food is great too. I'll be back on my next visit to Ohio. Oh and I forgot to mention my drink was amazing. Overall so happy and so thankful I didn't have to eat fast food because they were open till 10. read more

Supposedly partners with DoorDash for delivery, but cancels orders without explanation. Comes across as though that order is just too much of an extra burden and that that customer doesn't matter. Definitely won't be attempting to bring my business back here again read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for quite a while, and I really wanted to love it. The restaurant decor and atmosphere are great, and the food was decent, so one star each for those, but minus three for the BLATANT disregard for the mask mandate. None of the employees wore masks, and the full bar had no social distancing. Our waitress told us we could take our masks off as she walked us to our booth, which made it clear that the business was thumbing its nose at coronavirus prevention measures. Let's hope they're at least washing their hands. read more

We brought our family in to celebrate one of the boys birthdays the owner took care of us great food and wonderful atmosphere we will definitely be back read more

I really love this place in general, but since Logan left, and an older woman is working the bar, I've not been impressed. Tonight I ordered the eggplant from the appetizer menu, as I am not a big eater. I even mentioned that I wanted it as the appetizer, and for it to come out with my husband's meal. She brought me the meal and not the appetizer. It was delicious for sure, just the rest will go to waste, besides spending money on something that I didn't order! If you're wondering, I am one of those who will never return my food, for fear of what happens to what I get when it comes back to me. I mean that for any place that I eat, just my golden rule! read more

I read on website to call ahead, because sometimes they get busy, so I called and was placed on Hold. No one ever came back to the phone, so we drove the 15 minutes to the restaurant. No hostess to take our name, then when she showed up, she says it's going to be awhile.... We asked how long is awhile? She says oh....u don't know, I said are we talking 10 minutes or an hour? She said "yeah,.... Let's go with that" we left and probably won't go back read more

Wonderful place in a small town. Food is great and the atmosphere is very nice. We go frequently and have always had a good experience.

ordered 2 chicken Parms took 30 minutes for deep fried burnt chicken asked for a refund never received read more

This is probably the worst restaurant that have been to in awhile I got the two medallion steaks with potatoes and green beans my wife got mac n cheese with bacon. Both dishes had no seasoning even on the steaks. I tried the kids pizza and it was horrible as well. Save yourself and just drive to grove city. read more

I love the bacon cheeseburger pizza and everything we've had here has been good. Nice place to chill out and have a good meal.

New ownership: I believe they are destroying what was a great restaurant. I have been there 4 times since the new owners. They are loud and obnoxious. They have destroyed a great menu! They are poorly under staffed. The wait time from being seated to taking your order is about 30 minutes. The food is now over priced for the quality has changed. Example my friend ordered a grilled salmon salad. It looked like bagged salad. Not high end quality. She said the salmon was good and was charged nearly $20.00 There you go! 3 of the 4 times I have been there the not funny at all owner brought a dish stating " and you ordered liver and onions " No one laughed. They don't offer liver and onions on the menu. They are pretending now that they expect you to make reservations. Ashville is a little tiny red neck village and we don't need reservations to have dinner. We vowed never to return. The online menu has not been updated. Don't read that before you go as it is false information. read more

Great food! We have only ordered carry out but it has been right each time. The menu has a great variety as well
