Notice the giant stump to the right?

We ordered two Caesar salads and split a tuna melt. My friends salad had a giant lettuce head stump right in the top, and the tuna melt was made with what seemed like half mayonnaise and tuna. Im a normal guy that can find joy in a simple can of chef boy RD, but this was nasty even for me. Why on earth would you serve a salad with an obvious stump on it unless you just give zero Fs about the quality of your food? This place is in a great location and the service was great. Its had a history of great food from previous owners. I really hope the new owners can pull it together soon, I'll come back in 6 months and give it one more chance and review it accordingly.

The Ashfield Lake House is a trendy, dive bar which has recently upgraded its menu since I was growing up. This used to be the only restaurant in Ashfield, and still kind of is for dinner. I've come here many times over the past 25 years, and it overlooks the gorgeous Ashfield Lake. They have a deck area and indoor seating, as well as live music and events, and they're great for groups, or just an evening at the bar solo. All of the locals come here to have a drink, eat or play pool. (Yes there's a pool table!) The food is absolutely delicious, and the bar has a decent amount of beers on tap, if that's your thing. They're willing to go above and beyond with drink & food preferences. We've tried just about everything on the menu, and there's nothing I haven't enjoyed. Check the pictures. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area, you won't regret it!

Nice "dive". Not fancy at all, but the service was good and the food was decent. My wife and I both had the fried haddock and enjoyed it.

The place is out of business up for sale. Best thing that could have happened. Hopefully new owners will bring it back with quality

Food and service were wonderful. Arrived at a busy dinner time on a Saturday early evening 6pm…read morewith no tables available so we decided to eat at the bar. Although the bar is small, seating about 10 people it was a great experience for all of us. Matt the bartender was one of kindest and most patient attentive bartender we have ever met. The food was delicious. All of us who sat and the bar were strangers but left as friends. We made a date to meet up again at the bar for dinner in exactly one year. How fun! We are looking forward to it. Great place great food and atmosphere. See you all soon You won't ever regret trying this place out. Menu photos to follow.

We were back in the area for our yearly visit and remembered we enjoyed our last meal and decided…read moreto come again. We were not disappointed at all. The two women tending to the busy tables were like a pro tag team in helping each other to seat the tables , placemats etc... a well oiled team they were indeed. The chalkboard with the dessert specials they were promptly checking off what was selling out, I really like that because you right away what's available or isn't. I chose the nachos for my meal, I'm sorta a nacho snob but was craving them. I wasn't disappointed. Perfectly topped and cooked with some crispy cheesy chips which I like. I chose pasta & meatballs for my Granddaughter and tried a bite, those balls and sauce were wicked good also! I'd order a plate for myself next time. Bathrooms were clean also. Thank you!

Great service and better food!…read more We stoped in here for lunch and as a first time visitor I was extremely pleased and impressed. It is a classic no fuss diner that has an old fashioned milkshake machine! I had the turkey bacon melt with added lettuce and the toast on it was perfection. 10/10 coffee was good too!

foxtown diner is a must visit every time i come to the hilltowns! i came here often as a kid, and…read morenow it still has the same cozy, diner ambiance with better quality food options. whether you come for breakfast, brunch or lunch, your palate will be satisfied! i stopped in for lunch at noon on a sunday during ashfield fall festival weekend, and while they were pretty busy, i felt right at home as they made sure i was being taken care of. i ordered their cheeseburger, no chips & extra pickles, and it came out in about 15-20 minutes, even though they had a full house. it was delicious, presented on a thick bulky roll with plenty of lettuce, tomatoes, onions & mayo. even better than i remember. hannah & maya were especially friendly & helpful. great old-school, american diner with great quality food, plenty of menu options, and service that makes you feel at home, no matter where you're from. although i came for lunch, they have amazing breakfasts with the best omelettes, fluffiest pancakes, local real maple syrup & delicious corned beef hash, and rich pies too! i will always return here when i'm in the area. thank you tom & staff! ambiance: 4.8/5 food: 5/5 drinks: n/a service: 5/5 foxtown diner: 5/5

It's great that you pay your staff a livable wage however, the service sucks hence why chips are…read moreinvented in. It's based on service/quality and is EARNED.. every place that I've gone where gratuity is automatically added The service has been terrible however, when I've eaten that places where that doesn't happen, service is great because people know they have to work for their tips. I walked in a little after they opened. Nobody was there in terms of customers... I wasn't greeted. I sat at the counter. The staff continued to just chat. I felt like the staff had no interest in having a customer. I had to go over get a menu. I was looking at it. They looked at me as I was reading said menu never offering a coffee nothing I waited about 10 minutes and then I walked out put the menu back and said I gotta go. I consider myself very knowledgeable about the restaurant industry as my family has been in it for over 50 years and I have worked in it for 30 years

The food is great and I love the "no tipping" rule because staff is paid a living wage…read more Unfortunately, the noise can be deafening, which ruins any restaurant experience for me. Leo's seems to always be busy, and sometimes there are no available tables. So many people make it quite noisy, and on top of that, the din from the kitchen is overwhelming. It sounds like they are literally throwing the dishes and pots as hard as they can into metal sinks! Not a peaceful place to eat and converse.
