Beautiful place in a great location! There are tons of outdoor seating options, and all of the activities they offer looked like so much fun. We're definitely excited to come back when the weather is nicer and fully enjoy everything. The food was good overall, I ordered the steak Bao Bun Tacos and thought they had good flavor, loved the fries. We were slightly disappointed with the service. Our server seemed to disappear quite a bit, and we found ourselves needing to flag down other staff members for help or questions. That said, the atmosphere alone makes it worth another visit, and we're looking forward to giving it another try! read more

We started off with the Green Patio vibes for drinks. Light but delicious. We got the sweet loaded tots for an appetizer. The portion sizes are definitely worth the price. They are huge. These were sweet and salty. A unique find on a menu but would absolutely order again. We never thought about sweet loaded tots and decided we will try to replicate this at home. Before our meals came we ordered another drink. We ordered the $$$ in the banana stand and Helles . I love craft beers but sometimes when they come out a dark brown I'm unsure if I will like it or not. The $$$ in the banana stand tasted lighter than it looked and had the perfect subtle banana taste. My brother got the Helles and enjoyed it as well. For our meals we got the Steak Bao Buns and the Hot Honey Chicken sandwich. We split our meals so that we could try both. Both were absolutely delicious. We both agreed we would come back and order the exact thing we did today. The waitresses were working hard. You saw them constantly on the move. We were impressed with the service and the overall experience. They were pretty busy with the Husker Men's basketball game on the TVs, but they were doing a great job keeping up. If you are thinking about trying it, just do it. read more

I will start by saying I have no thoughts on the fun activities they l offer here, Pickleball in particular. It looks fun but I was here for the food and the beer. There is still work to be done on the quality of beer here, nothing bad necessarily, it's just not quite there yet. I withheld doing a review after our first visit here which was just after they opened. Now they have it together. I was a bit surprised to still see a pumpkin beer in early February. The rest of the selections, which you can see in my picture, offer a good variety. You will certainly find something to your liking. So let's get to the food. We each ordered the ABC Smashburger. It comes with fries or, for a dollar extra, another side dish. I had to try the jalapeño rings, which were not too hot. They were just right! They came out hot temperature-wise and fresh with a nice, tasty sauce on the side. As for the Smashburger, it was out of this world! You get two patties, not just one of high-quality beef. Where else? You're in Nebraska! The patties were hot and fresh with a little pink on the inside. The service was outstanding, mostly due to our waitress Nicole. She was absolutely friendly, smiling everywhere, and she had very good suggestions for beer and things like the jalapeño peppers. read more

Very cool addition to the Ashland area! They have a huge parking lot but the place is always busy when I dribe by. The space is huge, with indoor/outdoor pickleball courts and corn hole boards. Indoor and outdoor seating as well as a second floor patio. We didn't eat, but enjoyed a sampling of their beers, and they were solid. Service was a bit slow at the bar but friendly. Will definitely visit again when I am in the area! read more

Ashland Brewing was a great place for a Casual meal. While staying in the area we went for dinner and were seated promptly and our server came right over. I got the Blue Cheese Smashburger and it was delicious. The vibe was fun with the pickleball courts outside that can be reserved. Fun place for burgers and drinks! read more

Ashland Brewing - Smashburger - Breweries Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

Popular destination taproom just off I-80 near tourist areas like Mahoney State Park, SAC Museum and Platte State Park. Ample parking, big outdoor patio with lots of shaded seating. Many indoor and outdoor pickleball courts. Beers brewed on site and a full menu. Friendly and attentive waitstaff. Food was ok and we appreciated when a pizza was greasier than we'd like the owner stopped by and made things right. A newer spot in Ashland we hope they continue to do well! read more

Great atmosphere for outdoor seating in a nice day. Plenty of outdoor games to pay also pickle ball inside and out. Ordered some apps which were good bits lightly over priced in my opinion. Service at bar was slow. Nobody to bus tables. read more

I love this restaurant! Though the service is great, the food has its up and downs. They have many many options for adults but no kids menu. I tried to see if they had a kids menu but then they were just like oh no we don't sorry. But overall pretty good but could improve! read more

I am I love with this new Brewery! The place is gorgeous and has two big pickleball courts out front, lots of tvs to watch games, and the open windows so you can see the brewery from the dining room! Wait staff were quick and knowledgeable about the beer menu. I liked my meal okay the buffalo cauliflower was just a little cold but it wasn't super mushy which I have found at a lot of other places. My partner had the peanut butter burger which I didn't get a picture of but I snuck a bit and will for sure get that next time! read more

They are close, this place could be awesome..but they have a long way to go. Food is average, service is average. Venue is awesome. Get a manager that knows the business. That's passionate. Yah it sucks to pay that salary but they would be rewarded 10 fold. Good luck !! read more

Ashland Brewing - Salmon sliders - Breweries Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

Yes, yes--I know it's new. That's actually why we waited a bit before checking it out. And disclaimer: I don't like beer, but I was still really excited for this spot to open because of the massive space and all the amenities. We waited about an hour for food, which we expected given the recent opening. In the meantime, we hung out upstairs at the bar. Unfortunately, they were out of three drinks my husband wanted, which was a letdown. I was happy to see Glacial Till cider available (shoutout to them!), but they had just run out of the sour I wanted to try next. I appreciated that they had a cocktail menu, but it would be great to see it expanded to better serve a broader crowd. When our table was ready, we headed downstairs--important note: the upstairs bar and downstairs restaurant operate separately. Unfortunately, the food was a real disappointment, especially after the long wait. The nachos were dry and bland (we had to ask for ranch just to add flavor), and the burger was politely... nothing special. That said, the place itself is impressive--tons of space, pickleball, bags, Jenga, and more. We checked out the pickleball courts, but $40/hour felt a bit steep. Overall, I want to be fair: it's new, and growing pains are normal. We'll definitely give it another shot down the road. I just hope to see more attention to the food and a more inclusive drink menu next time. read more

Stopped by the new brewery after Eugene Mahoney on a Sunday. We were hoping to get food but the kitchen was closed so only had drinks. It is a beautiful space with a lot of activities for the whole family, corn hole, pickle ball, jenga, connecting 4, etc. It was very crowded but we were sat right away. We ordered two diff IPAs which were good. My fav beer is a West Coast IPA which they had. Not a lot of places in the Midwest have that so I was excited. I hope to come back and be a le to try their food. A fun place to come with friends or with your kiss to enjoy some good beers and have some fun. read more

No chips for trash can nachos 1on a Saturday night at 5:30 on a holiday weekend ...wait staff short .. which I will give grace too ...ordered short drinks but out of short glasses ... of course as you looked around every empty table was full of dirty dishes ... and after all that went to pay our bar bill tap ... they couldn't find it ... SEE ya ! do not go here.. People want to sit out side drink and get something to eat ... EASY but good luck ... a JOKE ... done can't rate the food didn't get any .. read more

The food was good. Better than most other options we considered close-by! They were busy but the waitress kept up good and everything seemed done well. I would beg to differ on their hazy IPA. I'm sure it's just a newer brewmaster trying to make it work... read more

I visited Ashland Brewing for the first time recently and am glad I visited. Just outside Ashland and not far off the interstate, the brewery is located less than 5 miles off the I-80 exit for Ashland and central between Omaha and Lincoln. The parking lot isn't huge for the crowds this pace can draw, though there may be some street parking available nearby. With both indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, you and friends can play in any weather. I definitely recommend reserving online in advance, as the pickleball is popular and books up fast. You can bring your own equipment or rent balls and paddles. The place itself is large, with an outdoor downstairs patio along the courts, a downstairs indoor dining area, an upstairs dining area, and an upstairs deck. Even with all of the space, this place gets very busy so make reservations if possible! While you can't get food at the downstairs outside patio, you can get drinks there while you wait. I sat upstairs at the bar, which had a nice view of hills and trees and felt very park-like. The beers are good and they had a great variety when I visited, with something for every taste. If you can't decide like I couldn't, they do flights of tasters, where you can order as many tasters as you want, served on a plate, and you pay per taster. I ordered the pickle beer, dark Mexican lager, and an amber. I loved the pickle beer as I thought it had the perfect balance of refreshing, pickle, and saltiness. Perfect for the summer and while playing pickleball! Everyone enjoyed their food as well, and we ordered a variety of items. To start, we ordered the platter of fried buffalo cauliflower and cheese curds. Both were delicious, and I like the ranch they were served with. For my entree, I ordered the smoked salmon sliders. They are served as cold sandwiches which is nice for the summer. The smoked salmon was good as a patty, and I liked that with the crunchy slaw it was topped with to contrast the textures. While the waits can be long, I enjoyed my time here and would definitely make reservations in advance in the future of wanting to sit at a table or reserve a court. This is a fun place with a group of playing pickleball and eating or drinking, or just eating and drinking! It's great having a fun new brewery nearby! read more

We were not sure what to expect but absolutely loved the atmosphere. The patio was large and right off the corn hole courts. Not a lot of food options but competitively priced and very good. We had the smash burgers and we loved them. Well seasoned and double patties. The sweet potato tots were delicious. If you like pickles try their Swing Pickle Pickle ale. Also enjoyed their American wheat. Lots of families and a lot of happy people. read more

First time visitor and LOVED this place! Amazing ambiance with so much to do from pickle ball (you have to book a court) to free corn hole and other yard games. Indoor and outdoor seating (per weather, obviously.) They have a second story as well with an additional bar. My mother and I each had a cocktail which were both yummy and nicely garnished while the hubby and my dad had West coast IPA's. We all got a late lunch and the food was also fantastic. I had their ABC smash melt with fries and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My mom couldn't stop raving about their homemade ranch (hey chef, let's bottle it and sell it!) BRYNN was our bartender and she was very helpful, kind and well informed on all the menus. All around we can't wait to come back and spend an entire day here with more friends. CHEERS! read more

Food is top tier and the service was fantastic. The place was absolutely packed but I could still have a conversation with my partner at our table. Will definitely return if I'm in Ashland again. read more

So excited to see that Ashland Brewing Company is open and it's such a cool space! Lots of outdoor and indoor seating, pickleball courts, cornhole, jenga, and rooftop seating! The drinks and nachos were wonderful, and I loved the IPA brewed by ABC. Our service was awesome! Kate was our waitress and she was so kind and ready to take care of us. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

First time here and I thought this was a really clean and fun place. They have room in the restaurant and a place to play/watch pickleball. We had a couple of beers and cocktails and each one was delicious. My favorite was the Patio beer. It was super light and refreshing. We did not have food this time, but would love to in the future! There were a lot of servers and a couple bartenders. Everyone was friendly and kind. read more

They are BRAND NEW people, give them a little grace. The building is huge and well thought out. They only had 2 of their own beers on tap (they sold out of the rest) but those 2 were great! The food was amazing! Huge lawn space with yard games. We interacted with 4 or 5 employees and everyone was kind and professional. Must visit if you're near Lincoln or Omaha! read more

Ashland Brewing - Buffalo chicken dip is definitely big enough to share! - Breweries Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

Went a second time and it was way better. Burgers were so good I also had some of their sweet potato puffs and I really enjoyed them. They did run out of a lot of items though so I was sad I didn't get to try the buffalo dip. Our waitress was great but one of the bar tenders seem not so welcoming. I waited at the bar to order for a good bit. I get they were busy but I even ordered and it took so long I had to ask another waitress who originally did ask me if I needed to order but since I already did I didn't want her to get all mixed up. The original lady seemed like she was taking over everything and maybe it was too much for her to remember who was first. Also if they opened the patio for food service maybe they wouldn't have people walk out. I get it's busy sometimes and maybe their kitchen can't handle it. People had left after almost two hours of waiting. Maybe even allow appetizers on the outdoor tables would hold people over. It's a big place and I don't think they anticipated their kitchen being as busy as it is on nice weekends. Kitchen can't handle the size of space they have when it's full. read more

The service was great, the food was tasty, and we enjoyed the beer selection. The prices felt a little high, but ultimately that's just how it goes when dining out anywhere right now. The pretzel bites were the hit of the table! And the sweet potato puffs! read more

I've been wanting to stop here for a drink and see the new venue. I reserved a racquetball court very easily for our boys before we arrived. I didn't even think about needing to make a restaurant reservation for Sunday lunch. We were quoted 30 minute wait but only ended up waiting 20 minutes. Our party of 6 say at one of the big top tables right next to the entrance to the kitchen. Our server grabbed our drinks and food orders, but then we barely saw her. I won't make that mistake again! The restaurant was busy, but I noticed food going out to tables that appeared to be for customers that were seated after us. We waited over 30 minutes before we tracked down our server and asked for a status. I watched them grab a pizza that had been sitting under the heat lamp for over 15 minutes (yes I was timing because I was curious) , and I had to wait even longer for my salad. We ended up sending the pizza back beside it was luke warm, and we received our appetizer the same time as our food. All of this was handled by the floor manager because we never saw our server after asking the status of our food. The food experience was lackluster, but the racquetball court experience was great. Overall, good food (minus horrible service and timing) but willing to try again. read more

Ashland Brewing - Salad - Breweries Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

I've been here twice now, and I've loved the food, the beer, and the conversations here. First time I met a few friends and hung out, but the second time I went with my family while we all played pickle ball. Reserving Pickleball courts is easy online, but I highly recommend making a reservation for Sundays as needed. We only had a 20 minute wait for a table inside since it was a warm day, but, I can see why people make reservations in advance. I enjoyed my wings, and everyone seemed to enjoy everything else that they ordered. I will say our server was not the most attentive as we had to track her down for refills, and we did wait over 30 minutes for our food sadly. I'll definitely be back because I love their beer. read more

We stopped at this gem today! What a great atmosphere, wonderful food, and tons of outdoor games including Pickleball courts. The staff was so friendly and helpful. I had the Chizlick and my husband had the Meat pizza which was absolutely delicious. It is very family oriented. They have both indoor and outdoor Pickleball courts which is nice. The place was busy but they still had plenty to do. We played Corn Hole after eating and had a blast. My hubby loves craft beers and I even took a sip and thought it was pretty darn goid. Really recommend this place and we will be back. Show less read more

Friend and I went on a Thursday night and were definitely "wowed" by the cool layout and atmosphere of the place. Two floors with lots of different places to sit inside and out. We were greeted quickly and since it was our first time here (and it was hot out) we opted for the main first floor dining area. We started with beers (of course!). I had a ABC Hazy IPA and it was absolutely solid with a good kick to it. My friend tried the ABC Kolsch and found it to be fine. Food: the KC BBQ Smash Burger is excellent. I don't think I've had anything like it. Friend had their Salmon Slider. He was surprised it was served cold, but he said it didn't take away from the good flavor. Both dishes very satisfying. We really look forward to coming back again. This is a really neat place! read more

Our waitress Olivia was so friendly and had just the right amount of attentiveness. The food was amazing. And we enjoyed trying their beers. Our favorites were the strawberry raspberry beer and the pretzel bite appetizers. Will definitely go again! read more

Ashland Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Ashland, Nebraska

The place is thoughtfully laid out. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. But, food and drink have much to be desired. They only had 4 beers on tap, one of which was out. Of the three remaining that I tried, meh. The beer was kind of flat in flavor, nothing really stood out as good. Same with the food, just kind of bland and not really flavorful. I had the cheeseburger and my wife had the salmon sliders. Like others said, maybe they need time to grow and improve but first impression was not that great. read more

Great place! Love all the beer options and the friendly staff! Bingo night was a blast! We loved seeing the employees and management walk around and interact with tables and bar guests as well! The bartender was amazing. Can't wait to check this place out this summer. Smash burger is the way to go! 10/10 recommend! read more

Great concept, poor execution. Hopefully they get it figured out because we would like for a local place to succeed. First round of drinks and appetizer and kids meal came out quickly. They were on a good track. The food was ok. Cocktails were tasty, beer was just ok. They had a shift change and it went downhill quick...well, actually very slow. Took about 15 minutes for us to order second round of drinks. Took about 10 mins for them to come out. Ordered our dinner. Waited about 25 minutes and asked when it would come out. Waitress said she would check on it and let us know. 15 minutes later, a different waitress came and asked us what we wanted to order. Said our waitress asked her to get our order. Very immature staff. We asked for the manager and the owner came about 5 minutes later. Apologized and comped 4 beers but nothing else. We stopped at the Runza had great service. Try them in about 6 months. read more

Ashland Brewing Company surpassed all expectations! Our family of 25 hosted a fall reunion here, with some of us traveling from as far as the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and it was the perfect spot for everyone. The venue is absolutely beautiful and thoughtfully designed, with incredible amenities--indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, indoor and outdoor bars, and plenty of tables so we could all sit comfortably together. The design and décor were amazing, and the food and service were just as impressive. The kids had an absolute blast and were happily contained in the massive outdoor area with an astroturf yard, which made it easy for parents to relax and enjoy themselves too. Everyone--from kids to adults--was happy, enjoying great food and drinks in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. We came together to eat, spend time together, and reconnect as a family, and Ashland Brewing Company delivered on all of it. This place did not disappoint, and we will definitely be returning to enjoy this wonderful brewery restaurant again! read more

This venue is absolutely amazing, and this place could be near perfect. Unfortunately they seem to be working out some kinks. We had a reservation for a party of 8 - when we arrived, the hostess glanced at a tablet, said, "I don't seem to have that here, but the wait is only 40 minutes so I'll add you to the list." When I protested, she told me the "patio is open seating" - since it was 55 degrees and windy, we weren't going to sit outside so she went to get a manager who did manage to get us a table only 10 minutes past our original reservation time. However, once we were seated, we discovered that they were out of 5 entrees on the limited menu they offer to parties of 8 or more. We ended up ordering some appetizers and entrees to share with our drinks, but would have loved to stay longer, have a few more drinks, and experience a full meal. I hope they're able to work out the issues with the online reservation system and to manage/avoid whatever was going on with the kitchen inventory in the future because we really enjoyed the atmosphere. read more

After waiting 45 minutes for a table, we placed our order--appetizers were spot on. But an hour and 15 minutes later, we still hadn't received our food. Meanwhile, the owner was walking around picking up trash, but didn't check on a single table--including ours. It felt like he was disengaged, especially for opening 2 weeks ago--when you'd expect a bit more presence. We really hope they get things smoothed out soon, because there's real potential here. read more

Food and Atmosphere is 5 Star but they definitely need to work some kinks out. Had the PB&J Smash Burger and it was incredible and I am a tough foodie. Husband had chicken tenders and Mac Cheese which he raved about. The service was a 2 Star; definitely struggling with new help that has never worked in food service industry. We will definitely go back read more

We made a reservation for 7 pm in the inside pickleball court. Nothing was said about the A/C not working. Temperature inside was well over 80 degrees inside. If you advertise inside courts there needs to working A/C. Would have cancelled if they told us prior to starting. Beside the A/C not working the price it to high. Drink selection is not that good and prices are to high. read more

Sparse beer selection, very disappointing. Service was bad as well, never got greeted or served. Got up and left. I'll give them a little latitude since they're brand new. Once they get their act together, we'll try again. read more
