Lunch today was great! I’m on a restricted diet and they were very accommodating to meet my dietary needs. They have the best smashburgers! The food was delicious and service was excellent!
I can relate to some of the negative reviews posted in the recent past, concerning the quantity and over-frying of the food. (Not the service: we have never had an issue with the customer service!) HOWEVER, with Asher’s being one of our long-standing favorites, we decided to give them another chance, last night. I’m so glad we did. It was a little busier, but the wait wasn’t bad and we were greeted as soon as we sat down. Our waiter checked on us, and many other tables, multiple times as we got our drinks, ordered and waited for dinner. The tenderloin ponytotshoe was hanging over the side of the plate, not overdone and perfectly breaded. The pulled pork ponyshoe was juicy and flavorful. All and all, Friday night, 3/21/2025 was a good night to be there! Thank you!
I tried the tenderloin pony shoe and it was average. The meat was hot but the fries seemed cold like they had been sitting around. The waitress was excellent and kept my drink full which is rare for many restraints to do it seems nowadays. The only complaint that I have is the temperature in the building was very cold. I asked the waitress who was wearing a sweatshirt why it was so cold and she said that the owner has full control over the thermostat and keeps it well below 70°. I definitely will not be returning. A person should not have to eat in a restaurant wearing a heavy coat due to the owner keeping the thermostat turned down.

The food was great and the staff was very nice as well. This is the first time we've ever been here, their tenderloin was good and so was the fish and chips. The Asher bombs were great as well.
Outstanding service!!

Very disappointed. Over a hour to get food. Service was bad. Never came and ask us how food was and no refills on drinks had to ask and then only refilled 1 drink which their was 8 of us. Then when got bill got charged for using credit card which did not see this posted. Very unhappy on this whole deal. Will not be back

I don't know if they know what the difference between a horseshoe and a pony. I ordered buffalo chicken horseshoe expecting two chicken breast and two pieces of toast. Instead, I got a pony portion just with a mountain of cold fries. We made the trip from Peoria and won't go back again. The Asher Bombs were the only thing decent and worth paying for. Edit: It's a pony than.

For being dishonest
This place is mid at best, the food is mid, my tenderloin tasted absolutely nasty, the water is so full of chlorine that you could put it in an algae filled pool and it’d kill all the algae instantly.My friend got charged 15$ for a lunch special that was supposed to be 9$, the fries are the only good part about the place, but still mid. I would never recommend coming here even if it was the last place for grub on the planet.

Sydney was fantastic. She recommended some great dishes for us to try. The fried chicken was juicy and crispy! I don't think we've seen a pork tenderloin that size! Great bar type atmosphere with pool tables and other fun activities. Will be back to try the steak nachos 😋
