    A refined retreat where modern gastronomy meets the effortless charm of small town life. The aesthetic blends crisp white interiors with lush green accents, echoing the balance they strike on every plate: thoroughly reimagined elevated comfort food! Sourcing seasonally and locally, the chef crafts dishes that are both inventive, yet familiar. From the standard refined classics to the pop up specials, every dish is crafted to surprise, satisfy and maybe even spark a little menu envy. Behind the bar are friendly familiar faces - who believe the best drinks are made with precision, creativity and a dash of well placed sass. They don't make your grandad's Old Fashioned, unless your grandad has a cedar humidor, a record collection that smells like whiskey and a tattoo he got in Paris. Served over a hand cut cube that melts slower than small town gossip, it's always bold, balanced and consistent. Come hungry, I always do, leave glowing and maybe a little bit in love with your entree. Cheers!

    Spicy pesto panini sandwich
    Riley H.

    Came here on a Saturday for lunch. They must have been super understaffed. Had to wait a super long time for food. Also heard multiple comments from the wait staff about being called in last minute and wishing they had more help. I'm not sure when this place opened, but it seems that they definitely have some more learning to do. I ordered the spicy pesto panini with fries. It was pretty good. My main issue is that my panini came out quite literally 15 minutes before my fries or my partner's food. Then, after my partner finally got his food, they had prepared the burger with cheese (he's allergic to dairy). They immediately re-made it and brought out fries to hold him over. I appreciated how they handled it, but wish we didn't have to wait for so long. They also took the burger off the bill which was much appreciated. The only reason this review isn't lower than 4 stars is because I admire how they handled the situation and I'll give them grace for being a relatively new restaurant. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was nice. The green vibes were good.

    BLT with fries

    This is a great spot for delicious food. The portions are huge! We started with the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. I had the BLT sandwich with fries and my sister ordered the cheeseburger. The service was great! We got there at a good time so it wasn't too busy or crowded during lunch. Our waitress was the only one working the bar and tables so we made sure to give her a generous tip. Can't wait to return to try something different on their menu.

    I really enjoy Ash & Dill! They have great food, good drink specials, and kind efficient servers. I've been 5 or 6 times since they opened and I think it's one of the best restaurants we have here in Wendell. Ash & Dill is a great neighborhood bar anywhere but our other restaurant options here are lacking - come on, Wendell! I really hope they stick around because the burgers and sandwiches are delicious, fries are crispy and seasoned, and they run changing food specials which I've also enjoyed! Please give them your business if you're looking for an affordable laid back and tasty meal!

    The special bacon burger with a side salad.  Epic!

    Had a great dinner here. Nice and clean new place here in downtown. I got. The bacon burger was actually a double bacon burger with a side salad. Was very good service was good. Food came out quick. The flavor of the burger was amazing.Really, really good highly. Recommend you try this place.

    Very mixed emotions about this place. Let's start with the good. This is a very neat place inside. The decor is modern and the place is well kept. The servers were also very polite and well mannered. The food was decent. Not the best I've ever had but certainly not bad. However there were a few things that definitely could be improved. This place is relatively new (opened Nov. 2024) and you could definitely tell they were still figuring things out. It took about 15 minutes for someone to come take our order. Not a huge deal. It seemed like the waitresses were hustling around constantly and did not have a minute to relax. After placing our order it took a while for our food to come out. Like ~35 minutes for a burger. The person I was with ordered a panini and it came out in like 25 minutes, so that wasn't coordinated very well because by the time mine came out the panini was dead cold. To make matters worse, when my burger came out, the order was wrong, so they had to remake it which took at least another 10 minutes. The waitress did the right thing and comped it and informed us that they only had one cook in the back (sounds like someone called off that day) but at this point I was just hungry and frustrated. On the menu it also says that their meals are served with a side and a pickle, but both meals had no pickle, so that was disappointing. I really wish I could give this place a great review but it's just not there yet. Hopefully they can get some logistical stuff sorted out and I look forward to returning for a 5-star experience!

    This was my first time eating here . I love grilled wings so I decided to try them. I called to…read moreplace the order and the server said they don't take orders over the phone, but I didn't want to place it online because it didn't have a comment section. So I then asked if I could place the order and get all flats , she didn't understand what a flat was so I had to explain that, and she eventually told me she'll let the grill know. I get there to get my order and check my food and low and behold , it's drums in it. So then another server comes and I told her the situation and she said I could get a refund or they could remake the 3 flats that were drums . Then got the manager and ended up telling him just to make it fresh which I waited about ten mins for . I get home and I realize , THERES STILL DRUMS . And they gave me the old wings anyways and just 3 fresh flats which I didn't want my old food back there anyways because I figured that would happen but let's just say this: NO OVER THE PHONE ORDERS AND THEY CANT DO ALL FLATS . They need to better train the server. Update dec. 2,2023 So I came here a second time and this time dine in. Did NOT like the experience. They literally ran out of silverware and my steak got cold waiting for one so I didn't even want it anymore and on top of that, the chimichurri was DISGUSTING. They said there was nothing they can do about there being no silverware and they can't just "pull it out their ass" . Didn't even offer plastic .. Took forever for food and drinks. Never got my water. Or napkins. Ended up having to order nachos only cause it was the quickest thing to order without needing the silverware . A different waiter actually helped get those nachos and faster service to me. Don't believe I'll be going back at this point. First review before the update was a year prior to 2023 review. Haven't been back since .

    We came here to see a band we really enjoy and they were great! We hadn't been to S&B before and it…read morewas quite the drive to get there. Even tho we planned to arrive well before the band would start playing to have dinner, we were lucky to find a parking place, let alone a table. The interior inside is really lovely. The staff is terrific and the food was very good. I had the pastrami Ruben with the tomato & cucumber salad. Both were very tasty. My spouse had a BLT and a salad which she enjoyed. For dessert we shared the butter toffee bundt cake that has a caramel glaze and is topped with a small scoop of local ice cream. It was absolutely incredible!! We wanted to order another, it was so good! If we're in the area sometime I'd like to stop in for lunch and that mouth watering bundt cake. I would hesitate to come back in the evening, only because as the night went on there were some patrons so drunk that the atmosphere started feeling really amped up in a concerning way, like a fight was about to break out at any moment. It's not a big place inside so it could quickly get out of hand. I can say when something like that happens anywhere, it's not a situation to find yourself in as an innocent bystander. Had it not been for that element it would have been a really enjoyable night out, but alcohol and aholes don't mix well together. I'm still going to rate it high for the delicious food, friendly and attentive service, the beautiful interior, and the great music.

    Stopped in around 2 with my husband after realizing we were headed in the wrong direction across…read moreNorth Carolina and needed a quick lunch. Found this place on Yelp and went with it. Seat yourself setup, but plenty of seating available. Our server, Madison, was at the table in under a minute with menus, and food came out in less than 12 minutes. She was efficient and attentive without making us feel rushed. This is a gastropub, meaning a casual bar-style restaurant that puts more focus on food quality than a typical bar menu. The space reflects that. Mix of standard tables with chairs, booths, and a small lounge area with cushioned chairs and a sofa. He ordered the Reuben, I had the pulled pork with collards. Prices were reasonable at $12 for the pork and $13.50 for the Reuben, each with one side. We both wanted the cucumber tomato salad, but they were out. The pulled pork came with a red, vinegar-leaning sauce. Not sweet and not strictly Lexington style, more of a house take on North Carolina barbecue. Still flavorful and satisfying. The collards were good with small bits of bacon that added flavor without overpowering. The Reuben was decent, but the toasted brioche bun stood out. Good texture and held everything together the way it should. The pasta side was fine, nothing memorable. Total bill came to $27.26. We both stuck with water, which keeps things simple and keeps the cost down. Overall, a solid stop for a quick, easy lunch. Nothing over the top, but everything came together the way it should. Must order: Pulled pork with collards Heads up: Sides may run out, have a backup in mind

If it's a beautiful day, I'd definitely recommend sitting outside instead. Still, the inside has a cozy, laid-back feel that works well. Shoutout to Qua, who was both the hostess and our server. She was welcoming, attentive, and handled everything smoothly, even as a few more parties came in while she was the only one serving at the time. One thing I really appreciated was that she let us know upfront what items were out of stock before we even looked at the menu. That level of transparency is huge and makes the experience so much better. My son ordered a slider with fries from the kids' menu. It comes with just one slider, so I ordered a second, definitely the right call. He enjoyed it, and the fries were cooked well, just a little on the salty side for our taste (ketchup helped balance that out). I had the shrimp tacos. It's packed and perfect portion for lunch. The shrimp, pineapple slaw, and chipotle mayo was a nice mix. The restaurant was clean (including the bathrooms). The location is also a plus, super close to the Art Museum, which makes it a great stop before or after visiting. Overall enjoyable, and I'd come back, especially to try more of the menu and the drinks.
