17 Best American Restaurants near Ashland

“What sn absolute gem in rural Missouri. I was yearning for chicken fried steak and chanced on this gem. The owner was great, and even offered us some fried green tomatoes from the buffet. The steak was as it should taste, and just the way I remembered from my time in Texas. Please come patronize this place - honest American small business.“

“I ate here alone on a work trip this week and it was amazing! I sat at the bar and the bartender's service was outstanding. He was so welcoming and attentive and helped me make a decision without seeming the least bit annoyed with how many questions I asked. The vibe is casual but definitely nicer than sweats and hoodies. The food and cocktail menu was so different and fun and I wanted to try everything on it. But I went with a glass of Cabernet and the bolognese and they were both amazing. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“I’m really happy with this meal. 1st time diner so I didn’t know what to expect. The portabella appetizer was fantastic. It was lightly breaded and deep fried mushroom. The giant ‘shroom was cut into shapes like a “fry”……good stuff and a must get. Entree was the brisket. It was good….needed a bit of sauce, which was also good. The Mac n cheese was just awesome! Service was spot on and just right. Restaurant was a nice place and for a Monday evening……seemed really busy. I’d definitely go back and continue to eat the menu.“

“We enjoyed fried chicken family style on a Saturday evening at the Claysville Store.We had reservations, and waited a very short while for our table.Once seated, we sat for over 20 minutes waiting for a waitress to acknowledge our presence. Tables around us were seated and served before a waitress finally appeared to take our drink order. This was not a matter of the restaurant being busy or other excuses: waitresses appeared at other tables seated after us. This was simply a matter of disorganization with the serving staff.Once we were acknowledged, the food was excellent, and the service thereafter was good. We enjoyed our meal once we were served. The cole slaw may be the best I've ever had.REMEMBER, you should have reservations before appearing for dinner at the Claysville Store. ALSO, the Claysville Store does not take credit or debit cards - just cash or check.Parking: Parking is a little tight - be patient when looking.“

“Came in, not knowing what to expect. Honestly we were just doing laundry next door and needed lunch and to entertain my toddler. BEST and quick service given having a picky squirmy yet patient toddler for a lunch date. Thank you friendliest staff (Ben especially) for a great pastrami and Swiss which satisfied a craving I didn't know I had until I was there. Skipped dessert even though I would have loved to. Great place to have stumbled upon, my parents are coming to visit from CA and I can't wait to bring them!“

“Was very happy with the quality and service. My server Allie was very sweet and also very good with providing me and my grandmother with recommendations for food. Allie also informed me that they frequently have live music! I am absolutely thrilled to come back ASAP?“

“Where do I start?? From the AWESOME tasting food, the COOL cashier, the fact that it's Veteran-owned, the GREAT FOOD!!! YES, the food makes the competitor's price even MORE expensive (as Mad Cow prices are moderately priced in comparison (when WE visited there for dinner tonight at least). Will DEFINITELY stop by THIS burger place over ANY other when we return to the Columbia MO area!!“

“RECOMMENDED. Have been going to Sophia's for several years and its one of our favorite places in Columbia.The food is really good and an eclectic variety. Solid variety of drinkable wines and the bar puts out quality cocktails.Service is generally very good particularly if you get the longstanding employees. College student wait staff varies from excellent to "don't bother."They are VERY sensitive to and accommodating of dietary restrictions, particularly food allergies. They are excellent in that regard!!!Dietary restrictions: They are VERY sensitive to and accommodating of dietary restrictions, particularly food allergies. Excellent in that regard!!!Parking: Parking can be a challenge during peak hours.“

“I have been going to Angelo's for as long as I can remember. I've never had a bad meal there. The gyros, pizza, and burgers, are always good. Pizza is one of a kind. There are places similar, but Angelo's is one of the best in my opinion.“

“Have always had a good time here. The food is great and there’s as many drink combos that you can think of. It’s versatile and accommodates well for people of all ages and the patio is great. Personable service, and the management team works very hard to make this place the best in town.“

“We are in the parking lot right now, eating in our van. I wasn't all that hungry but my wife wanted to come here. She got chips with guac, salsa and queso. I figured I'd try their dessert. I can't remember the name of it. Because I'm an average white dude that can't figure out other languages. It's tortilla strips that are fried and covered in cinnamon and sugar and comes with a side of honey. We just finished our food and it was amazing. They gave her enough chips for five people and the huge sides of everything that came with it. Seriously amazing food. Polite staff. Food all came really fast and my favorite part of the whole dinner was the prices. It was half as much money as taco Bell would have cost us. Definitely try this place. We'll be back.Vegetarian options: They've got a whole lot of options.“

“Okay this place was SO GOOD. Not sure why this amazing burger place is in a Hyvee, but everyone has to try it. A bit over priced but so delicious! It's fast casual, order at the counter, and we got 2 burgers and an appetizer, with total of about $45.- Jalapeno bacon wontons (4.5/5): Came with six pretty big wontons with this delicious chipotle mayo. Very filling and tasty.- Wahl-apeno burger (4.5/5): This was so yummy! Literally bursting with flavor. Usually I don't like sweet, but this jalapeño pepper jelly was the perfect touch. Cream cheese too. All so good. Tater tots were super crispy.- BBQ bacon burger (4/5): This was good too, cooked well, good flavors. The fries were a bit salty.“

“Had brunch with my son today and I typically don’t write reviews. However, my experience was fantastic. The server we had was sweet and efficient. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. I loved the decor it was very modern mixed with rustic elements. The food was so good and I could feel the difference in my body afterward.. not the crappy fast food feeling but energizing! The server I had was named Alyse and I want to give her a shoutout for an all-round amazing job! She was very sweet to my son and was attentive to our needs! Love this location and will come back!!“

“Went out with my brother who’s a huge sports bar fan and we were looking to go out to eat that night, I usually don’t go out to sports bars but my brother insisted Buffalo Wild Wings was the place to go.We wanted some good wings and drinks and when we walked in. We were properly greeted and sat almost immediately with it being fairly busy. We sat down and about 2 mins later our server kindly greeted us and to our order.In quick succession our drinks and food came out one after the other food was delicious the mango habanero is a must try! We enjoyed our food and the service and food was great and service was excellent.Me and my brother were there for a while just enjoying the environment and tried a couple of different cocktails and beers. It’s safe to say I’ll be returning here on my own time soon.“

“We came here as a recommendation and were not disappointed!!! Great food, the pulled pork nachos are some of the best nachos I’ve ever had!The ONLY reason I’m giving it 4 stars is our waiter was not on point. He forgot a few orders and was struggling a bit. Otherwise a great experience! Will definitely recommend!“

“Food was awesome! I had the juicy Lucy with onion straws, my wife had the impossible burger (veggie) with sweet potatoe tots and we shared a side of fries. We were blown away buy the quality of the food. Everything was as it should be. We're definitely coming back to tackle the menu again. Definitely worth the cost. Keep it up!“

“Park provided a remarkable experience for our son’s rehearsal dinner. The food was excellent, the service exceptional too, and a good time was had by all. The staff was very accommodating at every turn. Kudos to Park for a superb experience!“
