    Cool art on the street.

    Nice historic building. A big menu with a huge variety. Nut Brown Ale cheese soup is our starter. It was a flavorful soup with crisp popcorn topping. The consistency was thin, yet richly flavorful. No glomming cheese in this bowl! The special was outstanding. A crisply coated Cajun flavored fried chicken with home made cornbread and a coleslaw with pineapple. The bourbon brown sugar garlic honey was superb. Seriously wonderful. The Northwood salad was huge and filled with crisp apples and so much more. Our service was attentive, pleasant and food was prompt. There are three doors to this unique location and much more seating than we noticed at first glance. You really must try this food.

    First, there are two or three restaurants in the front of the main building and we had no idea which was which. We ended up here in "The Alley". Confused on if it's a sports bar or a brewery? Music playing and nobody was sitting at the bar? Wings were not breaded were rubbery I just hate that! Very expensive for "5" wings- unreal! The sides were different, I had a cup of butter with garlic and a cup of parmesan and red sauce. If you like Mac & Cheese this may be your spot? The mac & cheese selection looked very good. Will not return - too pricey for the amount you get!

    Fish fry special... wow.

    We used to go here once a week when we lived in Ashland. We were able to come in again on a family trip. The fish and chips special was exceptional. It was probably the biggest and best Lake Superior whitefish I've ever seen. My husband was literally like "my fish and chips experience is never going to measure up anywhere else". My griddled max n cheese was tasty. The clam chowder was delicious. My son's kids mac was fantastic with fresh fruit and waffle fries. The beer (hazy) was great. We had a lovely server (whom I remember from before). Thanks for reminding us how much we miss this place!

    Visited Deepwater Grill at about 7:30 on a Friday evening. We waited about 5 minutes to be seated,…read morebut then waited a good 15 minutes before our server arrived to take drink orders. We came specifically for the Friday night Fish Fry, which comes with one side, and they were out of two of them (our first and second choices, unfortunately). I ended up ordering Beer Battered Fish with Rice Pilaf, and the other two at the table ordered Deep Fried Fish with Waffle Fries. It was 8:17 before our order came out - a full 45 minutes after we arrived. The Rice Pilaf was barely warm and flavorless. I only ate one bite of it (1/10) but the fish was excellent (9/10). The fish portion was large - I could only eat half, and took the other half of the fish to go. I left the rice. I asked about dessert to go, and neither of the cheesecakes on the menu were available, but the server said they had some chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, which wasn't listed anywhere. I got that and had a few bites before putting it in the fridge - it was ok, but nothing special (5/10). I'm not sure I'll even finish it, and that's saying something because cheesecake is my favorite dessert. Ambiance was dark and kind of dingy. Things needed to be dusted and wiped down. It felt like there was a sticky layer of grease on them (chairs, columns, table edges, etc.). Would probably go back and give them another shot, but would likely try a weekday when it's not so busy and all menu items are available. Overall 6/10

    Second visit to Deep Water Grill. Actually last time we went to The Alley…read more We both had the whitefish sandwich one breaded and one Cajun grilled. Both were really well done. I could have used a bit more spice on my Cajun grilled. Very good portions. Had a side salad that was also well done. Generous amount of waffle fries. Nice wine for a house Chardonnay. They had Yeungling on tap. Sat in the bar area. Service from the bar and it really good. No problems! Nice stop when in Ashland
