The chips and salsa brought out were fresh and delicious. We liked the kids menu and the options that were available. We shared the molcajete and were super impressed. We were told later that most people don't finish it if they eat it alone and I believe it because the portion was so generous. The chicken and steak were thin but well cooked and seasoned. The cactus and vegetables and grilled queso were flavorful. The sauce tied everything together and the bacon wrapped shrimp was so yummy. In addition to a giant bowl of flavor, we got a plate of rice, beans, guac/sour cream/pico, and tortillas. The inside was clean and had some fun decor. The team taking care of us was attentive. The margaritas were flavorful, well priced, and tasted as fresh as the fruit in them. I plan to go back the next time we are in town to try some more of their many options.

Place was packed but we were quickly seated. Great drinks, loved the 22oz frozen mug with on tap brews. The Molcajete was outstanding as was El Paraiso Plate and Pollo Poblano. Chips were fresh, crispy and warm. Salsa was very good. Guacamole was great. Some of the best Mexican food I've ever had - anywhere, including trips to Mexico. We will definitely return when in the area.

We showed up at 5 and were greeted by the same fabulous woman as last time. You just know that someone that kind and welcoming would not own a place she wasn't rightfully proud of. She sets the tone and all the employees carry it through the entire meal. We chose to try the patio tonight and it was cozy yet open, darker with a couple of fire lights around the room. Intimate. Some of the tables are separated by live plants in planter boxes. We loved it. We started with the beets (with shaved fennel pieces and a citrus vinaigrette with a tahini yogurt sauce on the bottom) and burrata (with grilled pieces of bread and sugar snap peas and capers) appetizers - both were delicious. Randy wanted to try another of their off menu drinks. We can't remember what this drink is called but it's not on the menu and has some Mai tai mix and orange bitters ... like a mock Mai tai spritzer. Delicious - Randy had two! I got the mushroom bolognese - so good. It's home made (!) bucatini pasta with a mushroom (cremini, oyster and shiitake) and san Marzano tomato sauce with burrata on top. I love mushrooms but Randy does not and he loved this dish. The mushrooms taste meaty. Randy ordered the Carbonara again and it was also delicious. We also got an order of garlic bread this time and wow. We each have half of our dinners left, lucky us. We shared the creme brûlée which came with a lavender short bread cookie. Perfect. Everything was perfect. The place was packed and all employees were calm and efficient and friendly. Can't wait to go back!

    I've been visiting this spot since I first moved to Ashland in 2022, but I'm disappointed to say…read moreI've noticed a steady decline in meat quality over that time. Speaking, the brisket in the Banh Mi was unfortunately tough and lacked the tenderness you'd expect from a properly smoked or braised cut. It had the distinct texture of a pre-packaged Sysco-style product, or perhaps it was a cold portion reheated on a flat top without being properly rehydrated, leaving it dry and chewy. I understand that protein carries a high food cost, especially in the current market. However, a more effective approach might be to balance the menu engineering by leaning on lower food cost items, like seasonal sides or creative vegetarian options, to offset the expense of sourcing and correctly preparing higher-end brisket. This would allow for a better product that justifies its price point, covers its own cost, and ultimately helps the company's bottom line while maintaining the quality standards this town deserves. I'd love to see a return to the quality I experienced a few years ago. All and all, despite the brisket. The service was kind and friendly.

We're on a long roadtrip and I…read morewas looking for something beautiful and hearty to hold us over for the rest of our drive. This place truly exceeded our expectations. I love that the restaurant store front is opened wide, it makes it easy to approach and order at the counter. They have a very large variety of alcoholic drink options and some very tasty non alcoholic options as well. Even though we sat outside about 5 tables down, they still came by to deliver our food to us instead of having us waiting inside. The food was amazing. Meat was juicy, bread was perfect, both the sides of fries and house made chips were delicious. The ranch tasted like it was house made as well but I forgot to ask them. My cider was great and my partner got a strawberry slushy- both did not disappoint. The overall theme inside is adorable! It's got a lot of wooden pieces and a camping trailer inside really ties the theme together nicely. There is plenty of tables and shade outside and lots of indoor seating as well. Bathrooms are super clean and clearly well maintained by the folded toilet paper roll. The only thing I will say is if you're going to sit outside expect outside things to happen. There was a lot of flying debris from around the creek due to someone down the way doing outdoor maintenance. Despite this, my partner and I thought it was worth it to hear the running water and be in such a beautiful area for lunch. I would scream my recommendation from the roof top if I could. Thank you for a great meal!

    Location, location, location!…read more At Skout tap house all three meanings are working in the restaurant's favor. First, Ashland is a great LOCATION to grab a bite before braving the mountain passes on either side. Within the town the Skout building is LOCATED at the edge of the creek and beautiful Lithia park, and finally the Skout LOCATION itself is a building comfortably decorated with a camping themed ambiance. We ordered the Ultra Meltathon (grilled cheese), a Brisket sandwich, and truffle fries. The Skout version of a grilled cheese, augmented with bacon and jam, was the standout for us. The thin cut and crispy truffle fries were also very good and were gobbled up quickly. On the other hand the brisket was a bit dry but serviceable today rather than a standout. Maybe add some bbq sauce to elevate it a bit? I loved the curated craft beers on tap so check these out if so inclined. See the pics for a glimpse of the roll-up door window that opens to the park, the inside tables and camper, and of course the food. Probably a 4.5 but rounded to 5 stars because of ... location, location, location!

Maybe it's just this Ashland store, but the amount of salad has been less than satisfactory. Today's salad was about 30-40% less than a few years ago. It used to fill to the edges of the container and be slightly "mounded" above the container level. These last few were well below the rim and well inside its efges. Yes, I've asked for more veg/rice, and yes I know the protein is 4oz, but I shouldn't have to ask... based on past salads. And the dressing?! /2 oz at the most (see picture). I've had wine tastings with more. Anyway, being cheap... errr frugal will save money in the short term, but not the ling term.

We ordered the flour tortilla tacos.(amount of three.) with their new honey chipotle, chicken and a second set with the regular chicken. Upon our arrival home, we were excited to devour our lunch, but disappointment soon struck our faces as we opened our aluminized foil entree. Were our eyes trying to play a trick on us? Help me find the chicken my partner blurted out. It was a measly portion of minute pieces of protein. I am not 100% discouraged because it is a brand new recently opened store and I'm sure they're trying to get all the kinks in order. I will try again next week and hopefully my appetite will be fulfilled with protein and not three flour tortillas.
