22 Best American Restaurants in Ashland

“Beautiful space, romantic atmosphere, friendly service. Felt like stepping into an intimate restaurant from the 20s / 30s in the best way. Food? OUTSTANDING. I loved that it was a smaller, straightforward menu but still carefully curated. We were here on a mini vacation for the OSF and if (when) we decide to come back, we will definitely be making a stop here. I’m never going to stop thinking about the cauliflower appetizer!“

“I had an amazing Birthday dinner! Thank you Larks! Delicious food, impeccable service. Decor is enchanting and comfortable. Thank you Neuman Hotel Group. Sincerely, Heidi Steward“

“Great news for dog owners! If you REALLY enjoy sharing a meal with your dog, Louie’s is your place. Last night, a dog at the indoor table next to ours was enjoying dinner from the same plate as it’s human! The human would have a bite, then the dog would lick a bite off the plate. When I asked our waiter about this uncommon situation, he replied that Louie’s prides itself on being very pet friendly. I then said, “The dog and the human are eating from the same plate at the table!” He replied, “That may be pushing it a little,” but took no action to discourage the happy dog and human.“

“My favorite place in Ashland! Love the garden seating in front, love the huge and delicious breakfast burritos & luscious smoothies…. And it is half the cost of anywhere else in town as well as super pleasant as well as just 2 blocks from the Festival!“

“Good food and live music how can you go wrong !!!“

“Absolutely wonderful! Very attentive service!“

“We walked in after having to make a quick pivot from our downtown dinner reservation due to the power outage. Joseph greeted us warmly and took us in as “refugees” and sat us at a great little table inside with a view of the garden. Perfect! Joseph was super-attentive all evening long. The craft cocktails were excellent, as was our food. We shared greens and vegetables salad; my wife had the halibut special on an incredible peach romanescu sauce with the crispiest, lightest potatoes ever made. I had a delicious plate of hand cut sourdough pasta. Our dessert was an Egyptian cake that was a miracle of textures and flavors. Thank you Joseph, chef, bartender and the entire staff for a perfect Ashland experience.“

“Fabulous lunch. Extremely creative utilizing all natural ingredients. Mixing unique flavors and textures. True culinary artistry. Best place to eat in Ashland“

“We really enjoyed meeting up with local family and our SOU student here for dinner. The chopped salad was a hit, as well as the tuna melt and pulled pork sandwich. The highlight for me was the pumpkin curry soup, with depth of flavor and the perfect amount as a starter course. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. Will definitely be back.“

“sublime. only missing funky dance partiez in the alley. thank you.“

“Great food, great service. I'm a former New Yorker with 30+ years on the west coast. I have tried all the highly rated bagels in the SF Bay area and never had a really good one. The everything bagel I had at Brothers was the real deal!“

“We stayed at the hotel so we came here often. Usually so the kids can have desserts, and the wife and i can have drinks while we play board games. Got diner here one night after a late outing. It was OK, served its purpose. Decently priced. The staff was very friendly. Let us hang out and finish our games even after they've closed up.“

“I’ve been to a lot of spots around Ashland, but RedZone Sports Bar N' Grill truly stands out when it comes to food, cocktails, and overall atmosphere. The menu is consistently impressive with juicy burgers, perfectly crispy wings, and stacked sandwiches that are packed with flavor and clearly made with care. Compared to other local bars and grills, RedZone does not just rely on being a sports bar. The quality of the food genuinely competes with some of the best casual dining in town. The cocktails are just as strong as the kitchen, with creative mixed drinks, a solid beer selection, and bartenders who pour consistently great drinks every time.

What really sets RedZone apart is the energy and service. The atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and perfect for catching a game with tons of screens and a crowd that brings real excitement. While some places downtown can feel quiet or generic, RedZone has built a true community vibe where guests feel like regulars from day one. The staff is friendly, attentive, and hardworking, which makes the entire experience seamless from start to finish. If you are looking for great food, strong cocktails, and the best sports atmosphere in Ashland, RedZone is the place to be.“

“Passing through Ashland and this place absolutely delivered. The Birria Breakfast Sandwich was killer — homemade birria, egg, avocado, cheese, chipotle aioli, crispy hash browns… all of it was on point. The owner working breakfast was cool as hell, and the bartenders last night crushed it too. Great food, great people — easy 5 stars.“

“Good, but nothing real exciting.“

“Our favorite! Tons of GF options(that don't taste gf) Amazing drinks! Great atmosphere!“

“It’s always a nice experience here. Good selection of different beers to try, and lots of tables to choose from where doggie can join us! Food is pretty good too.“

“Ordered the much hyped pastrami zombie. Very good sandwich. Crunchy lightly toasted bread wrapping smoky, flavorful pastrami and coleslaw that must all the homemade. The sandwich was small, in a world of oversized stuffed sammiches. Tasty, but a bit reserved.“
