American Restaurants near Ashton

“We dropped in for dinner on a lark - we were looking for someplace new. This place is a few blocks off of Rt 38 in Downtown Ashton. It's a bar-restaurant, and that is how it basically works in many small towns. The walls are adorned with a ton of historic photos and articles - if you haven't been here, try to sit at a table near the wall, so you can soak up some of this ambiance. We were promptly greeted (seat yourself) and provided with menus. They had a rib eye special and a New York Strip special, in addition to some reasonably priced dinners. My wife had their fried shrimp dinner with a baked potato, while I had their New York Strip special ($10) with a baked potato. If you order dinner, you get their salad bar, which is small. With that said, it's full of fresh stuff, and the pasta salad was really, really tasty. I almost went back for seconds. Dinner arrived - the shrimp got my wife's seal of approval, and the baked potatoes were properly baked and done, which I appreciated. You can get butter and or sour cream - I had both. The steak was done as ordered - medium rare. It was a typical New York Strip - a decent cut. It tasted okay, and needed some salt. The bar is a full bar - I had a Samuel Adams Summer Shandy, which went down well. This is a nice, quiet place. It was starting to get busy around 6:30 when we were leaving on a Saturday night.“

“Wonderful food for a good cause! The volunteers make food every Tuesday and Thursday evening for anyone that is hungry and is in need of a nice warm meal. Recently, I got lemon chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy, corn, AND a slice of cinnamon cake and they told me that I could pay any price that I felt was necessary for the food. If you are feeling generous, you can pay extra for the meal and pay it forward. If you are strapped for cash, you can get your food for free. They believe that everyone is equal under their roof and that no one should go hungry as long as their building stands. Also, the food is not to be undermined. The meal felt like I was at my grandma's kitchen table all over again and had me wanting seconds! I will definitely return here again!“

“The first thing I noticed was how clean it was! No weird smells. No loud music, or tvs or gambling machines. Saturday around noon, place only had 2 other families. Waitress was fantastic. Food arrived hot and delicious. Kid was confused because he ordered chocolate chip pancakes but the chips were only on top. He ate them any way. Omelette was good and hashbrowns were perfect. Coffee tasted burnt. I drank anyway. If going through the area, stop and enjoy. We will stop buy again when in area. **Heads up** Cash or local check.“

“Wow, just wow. This place has everything and it’s so good.Special today was tuna on croissant and cauliflower soup. Holy hell over exceeds all expectations.Kids got chicken strips and we got some shrimp, corned beef and cabbage.There really is nothing at all here you can order that you won’t just love. It’s all made with heart and soul.You’re missing out if you don’t stop in and partake.Kid-friendliness: Ice cream for dessert was phenomenal too.“

“I have done the dinner and haunted tour twice this year. The food is very good, a great Italian buffet. It's a lot of fun learning about the history of the area and all the stories. The museum in the basement is pretty cool. A neat venue and fun night out.“
