Ashys Burger & Subs

Ordered a gyro today by phone for pickup. man are they cheap on the meat. Has the potential to be great sandwich. Seasoned lamb is very good… there just not enough of it to overcome the mass amount lettuce on a very good, fresh pita. Was told sandwich would be ready for pick up in 10 – 15 minutes when I called. Got there 15 minutes later to find out they hadn’t even started preparing my order. Had to wait another 15 minutes in the dining room. Wish the place would get their act in order, other wise they will not be around much longer.

Went once, no one there, but the gyro was delicious. My kids were running around and having fun, and the proprietor was very accommodating. Definitely recommend.

Horrible customer service! They are lucky they are even getting 1 star!
My office ordered Friday February 19 2016 for lunch around 11:30 we were told delivery would take about an hour (ok we ordered late that’s fine). After an hour and half wait we called a couple times and just received their voicemail. Still no delivery.
After deciding to go grab another lunch because we were starving they call us back 2 hrs and 15 min after we ordered to tell us their delivery driver never showed up! Wow you could of told us no delivery when we called and we would have came and picked it up! Let’s just say this business has lost our whole offices business. Poorly ran! Don’t order from here!

Slow service. Luckily I had time to wait. Tried Cesar salad. Fresh lettuce. A bit pricey for the quantity. Still hungry.

I have to give a one star because the service is SO SLOW and the food tastes old when we got it. I ordered for pick up and they told me it would be ready in 25 minutes. I got there and waited another *35* minutes in their dingy tiny space (with very few other patrons; it was not a busy day for them) while they finished my order. Will not be back.

We stopped in on a whim this afternoon to satisfy our peckishnes and are pretty disappointed with the experience. The burgers we ordered were clearly pre-​frozen patties thrown on a grill. They were thin, very greasy and not satisfying in the least. I ordered mine without a bun and it was literally a meat patty plopped on a dish and set in front of me. For the price, I would expect a small garnish or a larger, fresher burger. The restautant is clean, but has no atmosphere to speak of — not even music in the background. «It’s like eating a burger in church,» my dining companion said to me, and he was right. The restaurant has an uncomfortable silence which is not conducive to relaxation and conversation — two very important qualities when dining out. I hate to say it, but I’d rather dine at Five Guys.

Really good Gyro with a fresh pita! The fries were nice and hot. Also, free wifi and TV? Can’t complain!

I ordered a simple Greek salad. It was horrible. Basically just lettuce a few stingy small pieces of feta and like three olives. I asked for oil and vinegar on the side and got a container of some vile oil. Definitely not olive oil and no vinegar at all. And to top it off, the wait was ridiculously long. Others in the restaurant were having similarly bad experiences with one woman having to take her lunch to go since the wait was too long. I got the sense that the owners were in way over their heads that day. I won’t return.

The best burgers and fries on the Main Line. The burgers come on what seems like is a freshly baked artisan bun with a good size, high quality patty and the fries are big, thick UNSALTED potato slices – something that is pretty rare to find.
They’re salads are also a good size portion and very tasty. I have never personally had one, but I’ve heard the gyros are excellent too. The restaurant is extremely clean and I always feel welcome. A truly hidden gem on the Main Line!

I have reviewed quite a few places and find people feel more so compelled to complain than compliment. I have a huge compliment for the man seemingly solely running Ashy’s. He is always there and cleaning! Its an immaculate storefront. There is a Help Wanted sign in the window but you would never know it was needed.
My boyfriend and I arrived at Ashy’s 15 min before closing on a Sunday. We felt bad, but there was no turning back after we saw the time. The gentleman was keeping busy prepping napkins for the next day. He diligently stopped and took our order not making us feel bad about it being so close to closing. He beautifully prepped our food and gave great portions. I was in awe, the fact this man is there all the time and makes the food with love no matter the time. Our sandwich was wonderful and the salad clean, fresh, and cut beautifully.
That’s passion and hard work if I ever saw it. Sir, you are appreciated!

Best burgers on the main line, hands down. I have brought dozens of co-​workers here, from across the U.S., UK and Australia, and they always ask the same question: why would anyone go to a five guys or shake shack when this is an option? I can’t answer! Burgers are fresh, cooked to order, and they’re huge. They’re also cheap if you’re comparing them to any place without a 99 cent menu.
Gyro is great, falafel and eggplant sandwiches as well, but the burgers are the namesake for a reason. The owner is friendly, quiet, and really cares that you enjoyed your meal. Can’t recommend highly enough.
One last comment, reading through some other reviews, I can’t tell if some of these people have just never had a good burger before, or work for the competition. If your idea of a great burger is something you can get at McDonald’s, you don’t like burgers, you like «ground beef jerky».

This is my first visit here. I was craving a gyro and quickly found this place through a google search. I was concerned by the lack of reviews but I figured I would give it a shot.
I regret that now. The other reviews on here are true. The food is mediocre and definitely not worth their high price tag. I’ve eaten far better for much less. I will give them props for keeping the place clean but that’s the extent of my satisfaction with this place.

So I just had the best burger of my life! The double bacon cheese burger here is so much food and not at all what I was expecting. The patties are giant and juicy, and it’s made fresh — was even asked how we wanted it done (medium rare please). Definitely not a typical fast food burger joint.
We got lettuce tomato onions and mushroom as toppings and they came out layered like a work of art — the mushrooms were all in between the two patties, which, I don’t know why but just made it so amazing! You can just tell that everything was made with love and attention to detail by someone who loves food (and have perfectionist tendencies). I could see people charging $ 20 for this gourmet burger experience at a really fancy restaurant, but instead it was barely a little more expensive than a fast food place; very economical.
It seems really odd that there are all these one star reviews saying go to Five Guys instead. People who work nearby highly recommended this place, and I would definitely come back!

Great quality food and good selection. Mediterranean salads and Gyros particularly well prepared. The standout is the FALAFEL. None better on this portion of the main line.

Average at best. Kind of a sad place.
I had never been here. Stopped in for a «quick» burger at lunch while I was shopping nearby. A very nice old man took my order AND made my burger. Took a while. Only 1 other customer there. Clean place, nothing of note.
Pre-​formed burger, pretty tasteless, on oversized bun. Absolutely nothing special. Average at best. I’m not sure why I just paid $ 6 for something like that. You can’t charge $ 6 for a pre-​formed burger and expect to be taken seriously.
Honestly I don’t know why this place exists. Food seems barely average, wait time is long and prices are high. If you are a ‘burger’ place and your burgers are pretty bad, why are you in business?
From what I read I see it is under new management recently. I guess they used to sell unique burgers, who knows.
Go to Five Guys or anywhere else to get a burger this expensive. Only reason I gave it 2 stars is because I didn’t get sick and the man working there seemed very nice.

Definitely agree with the other reviewers. Food quality is terrible. Had a chicken sandwich. It was clearly a frozen cutlet about 2″ wide with some hot sauce and a huge ass bun (stale). The fries were meh. Took surprisingly long to cook this mediocrity. The only reason I’m giving it two stars is because it was clean (probably because there are no customers) and the nice man at the register. BTW. Who thought it was a good idea to cram Greek food onto a menu with bar food. That’s a recipe for failure.

I would come here occasionally because it was the only place in Paoli that served a gyro, and I always ordered ahead because I realized from past experience that it takes a little longer than a normal restaurant to receive your orders.
They just lost my business though. I place my order online at 12:07 for a gyro and a mediterranean wrap, being a work day I had a few things i needed to do so I got some things done and arrived at 12:37 asking about the order to pick up. They seemed confused, checked their computer and said they just got it (ie, they just looked). I told them it wasn’t a big deal, these things happen and knowing it’ll be a little bit I walked next door to pick up a couple of things. I come back 15 minutes later and wait, and wait, and wait, finally at 1:19 I ask whats going on and they said 5 more minutes. We all know what five minutes means. Thankfully I didn’t pay with my credit card online and just walked out going to wawa who had my order done in two minutes.
How long does it take to heat up lamb? The Mediterranean wrap was vegetarian with the most intensive ingredient being hummus. One hour and twelve minutes from when I ordered (and 42 minutes from when they ‘saw’ my order) is the reason I will no longer be going to Ashys Burgers.

I hate piling on a local small business.
Seriously, I believe that here in Unilocalland, too many people go straight to the one star review too easily over the littlest things. It affects businesses when you do that. I hate affecting a local small business that way when I know it’s so tough to succeed.
But sometimes I can’t avoid it.
You see, I know the previous owner of this establishment. He took immense pride in the quality of his food, and still does. For his own reasons, he decided to sell this location a while back to concentrate on his other restaurant. I have not been back here under the new ownership until today.
I don’t know what brought me here. Curiosity perhaps. Maybe I wanted to give them a shot to earn a few stars. Maybe they’re reading the reviews and trying to improve.
But I don’t say this lightly. Perhaps there are unknown business reasons why this place struggles. Running small businesses is tough. I get it. They’ve had a rash of bad reviews lately. This place isn’t nearly as busy as it was under old ownership. Items in the restaurant appear to be falling into disrepair. No one here looks happy to be working here. I sense bad things are happening, and that makes me sad to see it happening.
But one thing is certain.
You cannot, in good faith, serve that piece of meat in that burger, in that bun, for the price they’re charging. It’s a crime. And I’m betting that every single problem they are having stems from the fact that their product is inferior.
Previous reviews are right. This burger was obviously pre-​frozen. The taste or lack thereof betrays it. The condiments and even the bacon could barely mask the lack of flavor.
The previous owner served fresh product for that price. To charge $ 6.89 for what barely passes for a frozen supermarket burger is inexcusable.
I’m sad to see this place in the state it is in now. I don’t want to see it happen.
But I totally understand why it is.
I hope the ownership takes this as constructive. They need to change the way they do things, and change it fast.
Someone call Chef Robert Irvine. We have an emergency here.

I found out about this place through the
deal they offered. I had the Cheesesteak with onions and mushrooms. It was delicious. It took awhile for the food to come out although no one else was in the restaurant. The place is clean and has a fancy menu display.

I know that they’ve recently undergone a management change, so I gave them a try.
I had their cheesesteak w/​provolone, & it was great! You could tell that they bought better meat compared to the previous management.
I also tried their fries, which you could tell were made from real potatoes & tasted excellent!
I bought a buffalo chicken wrap & grilled salmon salad to-​go, & they both tasted fine at home.
I’m certainly looking forward to ordering from here again!
