11 Best American Restaurants near Ashland

“I stayed at the lodge three nights for a family reunion. The rooms on the upper floor facing east seem to have the best views. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I had breakfast the last day at Carl’s; it was comparable prices to what you’d get in town and I enjoyed it. Would be interested to come back in the fall and try the rope course and ice skating.“

“Our Thursday lunch crew went to KC’s and had the most amazing experience! We had a big group and sat outside on the patio. We were concerned we wouldn’t get great service out there but the complete opposite was true!! Miranda was our server and she knocked it out of the park!! We got our food and drinks in such a timely manner and everything was delicious 😋. Even the cook Nick came out to check on us and say hello and make sure it was great. Which it was! We will definitely be back!! Great job!!!“

“Excellent Reuben, Pork Tenderloin sandwich with fries and slaw!!! Great service, clean restaurant rooms, clean dining room, close parking. First time there, duly impressed will be back!“

“The area’s best burger is located in the sleepy village of Murdock! We tried a classic cheeseburger, the hangover, the patty melt, and the dirty grilled cheese and they were all FANTASTIC.

Get outta here, DINKERS. STELLA’s, you better watch out because MMG’s burgers are superior.

If you love burgers, go to MMG. If you have friends who love burgers, take them to MMG. Traveling anywhere in between Lincoln and Omaha, go to MMG!“

“9-2-2025 PM; check#39; Super great service; Only two employees on duty. The cook was very focused on service, getting the special order exactly right the first time with no additional questions with a very helpful attitude. Thank You“

“Taco Tuesday is the bomb!! The fried beef and chicken tacos are amazing! Ask for a side of queso with them #gamechanger.

We went tonight around 7:30pm, pretty darn busy and the BARTENDERS were incredible. Super kind, always checking in to see if we needed anything. At first we weren’t going to eat but they finally got us to try the tacos and tots after asking if we needed a menu Several times 😅 honestly the service might have better than the tacos — and that’s a BOLD statement“

“We live out of state, so we don't get to enjoy having a Runza unless we visit Nebraska. But on our last trip to NE we stopped to enjoy one! They are the best and the Gretna location has everything you want, clean, friendly, fast and delicious Runzas and fries!!!😁😁“

“Perfect in every way!“
