Where do I start? It's always crowded because the food is excellent. Not merely good, or…read moreflavorful, it is, but Ainsley's takes cuisine to the next level. That's why it's crowded. And very much worth the wait. I wanted to recommend a dish, but to be truthful, all their entrees are delicious. I will add that their wait staff are excellent. They do yeoman's duty filling orders. Please leave generous tips. They earn it. Please visit Ainsley's. I'm just a Hermann native fortunate enough to eat there every chance he gets. I promise you'll thank me.

Our group of 5 arrived at 1:20 p.m. One table occupied outside, one table occupied inside. It was…read more96 degrees outside, with a heat index of 107. We had walked from Hermanhoff winery, specifically because we have loved Ainsley's in the past. Our fifth member was joining us from our second-street rental as soon as he dropped off our purchases. We were not allowed to sit until our fifth member arrived. Fine. We stood in the entrance. But my sister is in her late '50s and was overcome by heat from the walk. She sat down briefly so she wouldn't throw up and so she could catch her breath. The young woman running the restaurant immediately ordered all of us out. We appealed to her compassion, but she kept quoting The Rules, and insisted we leave. This had been one of our favorite restaurants in Hermann until today. My sister left in tears, humiliated, and struggled to get back to our rental. She is still crying. And thankfully did not collapse on the sidewalk from heat stroke. I will never forgive the young woman or Ainsley's for treating my sister badly. Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on you.

It's been a while since I've eaten here, but yelp wants reviews and I'm just sitting in the bathroom, so - the infamous White Rose. It's exactly what you would expect it be. Whatever it is you'd expect, go ahead and take a look at some pics of the inside or the outside or the menu or food or whatever to start forming some sort of impression of this place, and whatever it is you would expect, I think it will meet your expectations. Except somehow much more crowded than you would expect - maybe it's much better than I experienced, maybe there are a lot more gross people out there than I thought, maybe it's some sort of mass mind-control device summoning people to it, perhaps as a distraction for some sort of secret society performing rituals of questionable morality and legality in the building next door, I dunno.... Kinda doubt that last one, it's pretty far out there. read more

A nice place. Over the years ownership has changed, but the food has always been pretty good. I think I liked it a bit more years ago when it was more plain and the tables weren't full of advertisements and the walls weren't overly decorated. But that aside, I can't fault the food. Good service has always been my experience when visiting. I have always enjoyed coming in for lunch and homemade pie! Prices are reasonable and the environment is clean. A nice alternative to fast food! read more
