“ I wanted to try the best burgers in Ann Arbor and this popped up. This did not disappoint. Even the mac and cheese was just so good! Baked in a cute individual pan this mac and cheese was the right amount of filling. You can tell it was made for you. I loved the burger as well! It's exactly what you expect from a classic pub burger and more! And did I mention waffle fries are the norm here? They were so good! Thank you! ”
“ My second time here. I went for dinner with friends the first time and just went again for the Lobster Fest. Such great service and food! I can't wait to go back for sweet potato fries!!! ”
“ Very nice place, that was our first time there, really good food, I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and oh was it good! Half of it was plenty of food for me. Hubby had philly cheesestake on a GF bun. They were very accommodating with food allergies! ”
“ We stopped here for lunch during off hours and we really enjoyed this place. Great food and service. They offer a huge variety of Michigan made draft beers. The decor is cozy with lots of beautiful rich woods. They have a nice room available in the basement for private parties and events. I will definitely go back. ”
“ I have been coming here for about 25 years or so now. I love the selection of beer they offer here. The Stilton fries are the bomb! I brought my cousin from Florida here in 2009, he still has his Ashley’s t-shirt. Today I stopped in for some pizza. ”
“ This is the bar to go. Great environment, drinks, food, and PRICES! There’s a reason why this place has literally been here for forever. Dined in for dinner and had a wonderful experience. All of the food we had was amazing and so good. The bar is definitely an old school vibe. I could tell that they make most of their food in house. I am just itching to go back for their happy hour and lunch specials. Can’t beat Ashley’s. I might even say it’s the best pub on campus. ”
“ Great and cozy! Highly recommend, expansive drink menu, great place to spend a game day ”
“ Poutine alert!!! Ashley's served some of the best, most authentic poutine I have eaten in years. The curds were soft, the gravy was delicious! The fries held their own despite being covered in gravy. Just great. My pork schnitzel was also very good. The schnitzel was larger than the super soft bun, as it should be. It has a nice crunch and very lean. Excellent flavor. ”
