Ashburner Inn

My sister and I took my daughter out tonight for her 21^st Birthday. The Ashburner in appearance is a complete turnaround from the biker dive bar I hung in back in the 90’s A+!
However, the cleanliness of the restaurant is another story. We sat down at the table with window view to Ashburner St. which was fine except for the several dead flies along the window sill above our table. One fly was still alive managing to fly to it’s death on our table. The waitress witnessed this, and got rid of it. We got disgusted with looking at the remaining dead flies on the sill, and moved to a different table. Can you believe another fly came on my plate and died? I think maybe it happened after it was served, but I can’t say for sure. They were kind enough to remove that particular item from the bill. They need to deal with the over run of flies. It is nasty! I know all restaurants have bug issues, but leaving the front door open on the 1^st day of summer. HMMM. I DON“T RECOMMEND! A nice place for drinks, but dining there I will NOT do again. The waitress was very nice, as they all were. I do feel though that you are understaffed leaving them overwhelmed also making service quite slow.

Just stop in with the boss terry marnoch to grab a bite to eat before my grandson gavins playoff game tonite at crispin.

We stopped tonight for dinner for the first time. I remember when this place was a corner dive bar. Things have changed and for the better!
When we got there the bar area was packed! We were surprised they had a band on a Sunday evening. We were sat right away in the restaurant area.
Upon being seated we were approached for drinks. I ordered unsweetened iced tea, wife had her water. To my surprise the refills were not free, I was charge $ 9.00 for 4 teas. That was disappointing considering there was no glassware and everything was served in a solo cup. We started with the mozzarella sticks, wow! They were by far the best I’ve ever had. They were crispy, crunchy and full of cheese. The sauce accompanied with it was also very good.
For dinner my wife ordered the salmon bruschetta served with zucchini and roasted potatoes. The salmon was cooked well but it sat in balsamic and was topped with bruschetta, it became a bit mushy. I ordered the crab cake entrée served with the same vegetable and potatoes. The crab cakes were very good! The potatoes were a bit bland and the veggies were good.
The waitress only had about 4 tables in the restaurant but she seemed overwhelmed. She was very quick with us! She was nice but quick. We asked for a box and she literally threw it on the table and kept walking. She also gave us the wrong vegetables with out entrees. Overall it was a good experience, they lose a star for the service and no free refills. Solid 4 stars though, we may stop back for a quick bite and music.

We recently went here for a family birthday party and the top floor was rented out. The food was delicious and the service was awesome! The bar had a nice selection and the atmosphere in total was very comfortable. Would recommend!

Went tonight for dinner and not impressed. Waiting on appetizers and then for the main meal felt like forever. The salmon had to be sent back because it wasn’t cooked fully.

I came here for a Paint Nite event in September of 2015. I didn’t have any of the food but the drinks hit the right spot!!! Lol I felt like an award winning artist!!! The setup and décor was roomy and casual, and very clean even the bathrooms. The outside of the building doesn’t do it any justice but its probably the neighborhood bar but has a feel that its a few notches above.
The service was great and everyone that worked there was friendly. I even tossed a few jokes to the bartender while I was roaming around the place. Its definitely a welcoming atmosphere with a comfy feel to it.

I love this place. I just had my daughter’s Sweet 16 there last night! It was awesome! I highly recommend this place. The food was great, the staff COULD NOT HAVE BEEN NICER! The prices were beyond reasonable. I happen to have dinner downstairs prior to the party and really happy with the food and service downstairs. Make sure you try this place out!

Been coming here for weeknight dinner 4ever. This newer bartender is horrific! I say newer because I know she started a couple of months ago; hence we try to avoid coming here. There are 18 people at the bar. We sat down at 7:18 was looked straight in the eye 3x’s and wasn’t asked what we wanted until 7:29. Then when I asked for my beer, she repeated my request & proceeded to give me something completely different. We enjoy the food but will not be back!

The Ashburner Inn and its patrons are the greatest. Just dropped off toys at Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House for the children from their toy drive. Thank you

I came here for paint nite event. This a very nice big place. This was my first time at Ashburner Inn. My friends and I ordered the crab nachos & the buffalo nachos. It was so delicious. The drinks were also made very well and tasted excellent. I would recommend this place and I see myself coming back.

Went there for paint nite the place is very nice it self has seating outside which I love very clean. I got lemonade snagria which was great and also crab cakes which I loved not to much breading more meat. Also I got the seafood bisque soup I wasn’t really a fan taste like a bowl of cream to me but would definetly go back !
I haven’t tried the pizza but definitely planning another trip there !

To the Point: Definitely Would Go Back
Went there one time on a Thursday around 6PM. The front bar area is a normal 15 stool straight bar with a few high hat tables in there. The back room had about 15 – 20 tables that seated 4 – 5 people. I had the brick oven margarita pizza, roast beef sandwich, and French fries. The pizza was excellent. Definitely fresh and you can see the brick oven as soon as you walk in the place. The roast beef was pretty good and it came with crispy, nicely seasoned fries. I didn’t have any booze so I can’t comment. There was a two person band playing music which was nice. The crowd was easy going and normal. No «seedy» characters or «hammered beyond belief» low lifes that I saw. But I was outta there by 8PM. Plenty of tvs. Definite winner!!!

I’ve passed by the the Ashburner so many times, but never went in after the fire they had a couple years ago. Me and my wife decided to try it on our date night and it was really a nice place! I had a spinach salad that was fresh and tasty and we split their signature black and blue thin crust pizza cooked in their coal fired oven, that to was perfect! We sat out on the deck and had dinner and drinks .I highly recommend you try this place out, you will not be disappointed.

I’ve been back to the Ashburner twice since they reopened after being closed for some time due to a fire. Not sure if there’s new owners or management, but it’s definitely a better time. My 1^st time back the food was great, 2^nd time we got the same thing and it wasn’t as good. That was always my problem with this place the food is so inconsistent, but the staff is friendlier, The beer list is longer, and the nightlife is more happening! I’ll definitely be back and I’m excited for their new outside seating to open!

Hadn’t been in along time
Heard it reopened
Wings salad nachos all good
Server lovely
I would go back
Traditional pub food freshly prepared

A throwback ‘70s restaurant with a menu to match. All appetizers are greasy, deep fried crap, with the exception of the mussels. Standard unimaginative menu. I suspect many frozen. Old tired menu.

So, this is my first time here. We choose to go on a non– Eagles Sunday because I wasn’t sure of the parking situation. It turns out I was right to be concerned. The bar was maybe 30% full and so was the parking lot. Just keep that in mind. When we walked in we weren’t sure if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated. After about 5 minutes with no one coming by, we decided to sit at a table in the bar. Another 5 minutes goes by and no one acknowledged us, we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was a few minutes getting to us (again, the bar wasn’t very full).
Once we we’re served, we found the bartender to be very friendly and the food was good. I would certainly come back.

Just attended a painting event in the upstairs area which looks beautiful and is handicap accessible. The white sangria was great. I didn’t eat but food looked great. There was a small banquet downstairs and bar area filling up. The place was nicely laid out and had a great design. I would definitely go back.

As for places in Northeast Philly this is one of the better spots. The upstairs is great for large parties for events like b day parties.
I made the wrong choice of trying to be healthy by ordering a shrimp salad. It was just basic veggies and shrimp and rather boring. I ended up eating everyone else’s dish. My boyfriend had some meat dish that came with sauerkraut. The sauerkraut was excellent. I also tried their pizzas and wings and both were very good.

Awesome. Good bartenders. Music from a DJ. The best wood burning stove pizza in the area! Strong drinks that they put the xtra in a side glass. Semi reasonable price. Lots of different ages and demographics. Fun bar and can’t wait to go back to try dinner
