Things to do in Ashland
1. Fat Patty's

4.5 based on 182 reviews
Reviewed By Marchingbug - Ashland, Kentucky
I just love Fat Patty's. We go for their Happy Hour all the time. You absolutely cant beat it. My husband and I get wings, jalapeno poppers, and a MOUNTAIN of cheese fries for around $10 during happy hour. Even with drinks we can make it out of there under $20. This place is amazing and everything is always delicious. Never had a bad experience with staff or food here.
2. Starbucks

Reviewed By Rome M - Taylors, South Carolina
Needing a quick breakfast, my wife and I stopped at Starbucks.
My wife and I both had sandwiches. My wife wanted the one I ordered but could not due to dietary constraints. The staffer who took care of us was quick with an alternative recommendation for her, and my wife enjoyed it very much.
Oh, and the iced macchiatos were delicious as well.
The staff there were nice and polite.
As we left, we spied a green Mustang in the parking lot. The license tag indicated that Green Lantern was on premises, likely getting coffee.
If this Starbucks is good enough for Green Lantern, it is good enough for you.

Love, love, love Crisp's footlong hot dogs and onion rings for 30+ years. This is a staple when returning to Ashland, KY (actually located in Summit). For you out-of-towners, hot dog sauce is the same thing as hot dog chili, but better.

Texas Roadhouse is a steak restaurant providing legendary food with legendary service.

Treat your family and friends to a night at Texas Roadhouse.

This location is always packed! Why, I'm not too sure. Texas Roadhouse does have variety of steaks for the price, but the taste is just so-so. The service for me was the downfall. When we were seated, we were placed in a room in the back with only one other party. Doing so, I believe the waitress forgot about us. We did not get any refills on our drinks or our rolls. Our food did come out hot and quick, but we had to ask multiple times for certain items they forgot.

We ate here twice while we stayed at the nearby Hampton Inn. The chicken fajitas were excellent. The chicken enchiladas were just okay. The prices are reasonable and the service is very fast and good. Very good place to eat.Our Cannonsburg location is conveniently located nearby many hotels. We pride ourselves on our staff, food selection, and prices. I am so glad that you had a pleasurable experience. We hope to see you when you visit the area again!

My family goes here two times a week. The service is excellent, the food is plentiful and very reasonably priced. They run Mini lunches that are pizza and salads or pasta and salads. You get delicious bread with marinara sauce free with each meal. I ❤️this place. Try it!
8. Suplex tacos
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 40 reviews
Reviewed By LadyM2012
My family absolutely loves anything and everything on the Suplex menu. At this visit, we tried the champ burrito (8oz steak, pico, and guac), a cheese quesadilla, and my fave 3 steak tacos (steak, onions, guac, and cilantro). This food is honestly the best Mexican I ever had. Everything tastes so fresh. I've never had a bad order. If you go through the drive-thru wait time can be a little long, but it is SO worth it. Can't wait until we go here again!

Had dinner with my large family (10 total) and it was excellent. We ordered multiple appetizers- onion rings, spinach dip, salsa- came out quickly and hot. I had a martini which was prepared perfectly. For my entree, I ordered the pot pie and my husband had the ribs. Both our meals were hot and delicious. Other family members loved what they ordered as well. Overall, wonderful night, great food. We'll definitely be back!!!
10. Chick-Fil-A
Overall Ratings
5 based on 16 reviews
Reviewed By travelrob - Ashland, Kentucky
The food at Chick-Fil-A is consistently better than at any other fast food in this area. However, this Chick-Fil-A is sometimes almost impossible to get to. The line of cars for the window sometimes is 30 deep. Going inside is just as challenging. However, the staff was friendly and efficient on my visit. The food is always hot and well prepared. Overall, a great place to eat. If they had another Chick-Fil-A on the other side of town it would do just as well.
