Ash Neighborhood Bar & Grill

We were traveling to Huntsville and looked on Yelp for open food venues during covid and found out this place was open (we gave a call to confirm, too). They have set up for covid very well - sanitizers everywhere, staff wear masks, tables separated far enough. Even menus seemed to be printed newly everyday (bottom of the page had a date). Really impressed. On top of that food and drinks were really good and staff are very nice! I especially loved Carrot Cake Bread Pudding! More...

Ordered takeout this week. Shrimp and grits, as well as the BBQ pork and grits were both awesome!Service was excellent. They said 20 mins to being ready, when I arrived literally 20 mins on the dot, they walked the food right out. Perfect timing, great food.Can't wait to come back! Get out and support local businesses during this COVID disruption More...

Ash was a super cool place with great food. We came for a quick breakfast, hoping for their chicken fried steak. Their menu changes daily supposedly, so maybe call ahead if you' re hoping for something special. Nonetheless, what we did order off their Sunday breakfast menu was delicious. We started with their beignets with chocolate sauce, which was definitely delicious. I ordered the pork belly grits & my friend ordered the bbq pork benedict. Both were really awesome & we were highly impressed with the flavors. No bland IHOP meals here! If I lived in Birmingham, I'd probably be a regular at this place. Their dinner items look delicious too! I'm sure they get packed at busy times, but it's in a great location across from a park, and there seemed to be lots of parking options as well! More...

Me and my fiancé came here on February 22 and it was very different . I like the setting the atmosphere is really cool . The lightning and music is really sentimental. Very spacious . The food was delicious . Menu changes daily so what you see online might not be what you get when you come in . We both ordered the Wood Grilled Salmon for $23 and it was everything I didn't expect and loved ! Very different . Our waiter was not overbearing , very sweet and polite ! Loved the experience ! 10 STARS More...

Came here on a Thursday night and was seated immediately.  The atmosphere is open and rustic with a lot of wood and open space. The Service: We ordered and had our food in front of us within 10-15 minutes so that was great. Our waitress came around a few times to check on us and fill our drinks, but wasn't lingering around us which is always nice. The Food: I ordered the BBQ plate which came with brisket covered in both red & white bbq sauce, baked beans, and homemade coleslaw. To start the brisket was really flavorful and tender, it didn't quite melt in your mouth like some of the best brisket i've ever had but was close enough to it. The homemade coleslaw was a highlight as it was rich and creamy. The baked beans were the first thing I wiped off my plate as I was super hungry, and to be quite honest I don't remember if they were distinct from other baked beans just because they went down so fast. Overall I really enjoyed my experience at Ash as the atmosphere and food are perfect for a great dinner with a small group or a date. More...

Directly across from Homewood Park.  Small,One room restaurant with good food.  We both had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, very good.  It looked like everyone there was enjoying their food.  A little loud due to Ash being an open floor plan. More...

Excellent Food!  My wife had the Salmon and ate everything on her plate. I had the Brisket and did the same - are every bit. The French Fries May be the best in B'ham - crispy and tasted like potatoes. Loved the Slaw - flavorful, fresh, and just the right amount of dressing. We will definitely be back (this was our first time here)!  I want to try the double hamburger on my next visit. More...

We saw Ash was a new restaurant in Homewood and, being in that area, took the family.   Ash is in an old storefront across from a beautiful park.  You immediately smell the wood burning grill when you walk into the spartan dining room.  Clean design and a nice bar on the back wall set off the restaurant.  The menu was reasonably priced - especially for the starters - and we tried the Brussel Sprouts cooked in what tasted like a sherry reduction.  Very well cooked with a under flavor of pork fat.  Two in our party had wood fired filets with Gorgonzola mashed potatoes and baby carrots.  Well cooked and a lot of food.  Another had the BBQ plate and the smoked brisket was well cooked and flavorful.  It came with white and red bbq sauce.  I had the winter salad with grilled chicken.  The home made dressing was excellent and the chicken was right off the grill..Simply said, this southern flavored meal was very good with fresh, clean ingredients.   We will be back.

First time here. The food is great!  The atmosphere is ok, could be a bit better. Felt kind of like a BBQ joint but the food helps deaden that feeling. Had the Ash burger, KILLA!  The chicken tenders are actually very tender and tasty. The filet mignon tender was awesome too. The seasonal salad was fantastic. I did leave out a lot of details about the plates, but trust me and get yo'self over to Ash you will not be disappointed in the food. I will be back. More...

I love this place! They are always providing fresh dishes. We particularly like the Sunday brunch. Man, I had the Fall Benedict this year. ..whoo. The chicken tenders fried or grilled are a big hit, and the fries are real good. Burger is great. The seasonal salads are always fresh and very well balanced. Try the restaurant multiple times since the menu changes so much.The staff is super friendly and attentive. Top marks for the whole process here. Plenty of seating options for various dining party numbers. More...

Came here for lunch and what a cute place in the Homewood area! I had the smoked salmon benedict because smoked salmon is one of my favorite things and it was delicious! The poached egg was cooked to perfection, neither too runny nor too hard. I also found out that this restaurant is family owned and one time when it snowed, they opened the restaurant and had grilled cheese and chili. That story warmed my heart! If you're ever in the Homewood area, you should definitely check out Ash! More...

Looking for something new for dinner and a change of pace. I found Ash here on yelp and it looked interesting. Met by a welcoming hostess, I chose to sit at the bar since there was a tv and I was alone as usual. The bartender, EJ recommended an IPA from their tap. It was excellent. Something out of Atlanta. I can't remember the name. I ordered the half wedge salad which was topped with fried pork belly. The salad was great and the pork belly was better. For the entree I chose the beef short rib. It was fork tender on a bed of mashed potatoes and sautéed greens. The flavor on everything was on point. The only thing, and I mean only thing I could critique was the temperature the main entree was served at. It was warm throughout, but only warm. I would have looked for it to have been served hot. I can imagine that is a challenge when serving something that is cooked so long. Overall, it was a great experience. I had the place to myself. The owners, I believe they were the owners, came out to thank me for coming in and asked how everything was. I'll definitely be back to visit next trip. Great service at the bar and good conversation. Thanks!! More...

Pork belly grits are a treasure hunt of deliciousness.   Over easy/medium egg opens the long procession through a mummery of classic brunch bands marching over your taste buds.  A crunch of biscuit, a fresh avocado, melted cheesy warmth over the creamy grits mix are only interrupted by a bite of belly and cleanse of a bloody.  Ash is a modern pretense while delivering for all.

My wife and I love going to Ash for their Sunday brunch. One of the many perks of Ash for brunch is that the menu changes almost weekly. At first, I didn't know if I would like this, since each time I seem to find something I absolutely love and want to get the next time. However, my disappointment at my missing item quickly vanishes when I try one of the new specials. Aside from the exceptional food, the service is second to none, the atmosphere is great, and you can't beat the smell of the wood fire grill. $5 bloody Mary's and mimosas don't hurt either! More...

A hidden gem in the Homewood area!!! Happened to come here for a late lunch on a Saturday randomly. Was pleasantly surprised by the tasteful decor. It has a very homey yet elegant feel. They have a big table in middle so this is a good place if you have a big party. Now the FOOD. SO GOOD. You must try the okra as an appetizer!!!! I don't even like okra that much but it was delicious. Came with some type of crunchy stuff on top in a honey balsamic sauce. Grilled chicken sandwich had tons of flavor. Included creamy slaw and nicely toasted bread. Had farro salad which came with roasted,crunchy veggies in it. I'm bringing my family here next time they're in town. More...

We live in Homewood and eat at Gian Marco Pizza every Friday but GM is crazy busy by 5:30 so we walked down to try Ash. We all really enjoyed the whole experience. It's very family friendly, diapers and wipes provided in the bathroom changing room which was very thoughtful if you have little "well behaved" kiddos. The brisket burger was the best hamburger I have had in recent memory. They had my favorite bottle of Granche wine which makes me super happy as well. The menu is small but the food and service was really great. We will definitely come back again. More...

This restaurant is fresh and thriving on the Homewood dining scene!  My family and I came to ASH on July 4th (my first ever time here).   When we arrived, there weren't many people inside but apparently , we had just missed the massive crowd! Typically,  my family and I dine out on this holiday specifically because it's way easier to let someone else do the cooking for you!  Ash formulated a  special menu just  for Labor day.  The menu choices included: Ribs, burgers, pork sandwiches or plate  , chicken legs , brisket  and a number of traditional sides. Regrettably when ordering, we were notified that they were out of the pork! This is usually my mom's go to and was what she really wanted.  She ended up with a burger with fries instead.  I went with the Memphis style dry rub ribs with bbq sauce on the side.  The rub on the ribs were a little on the salty side.  The bbq sauce had a really good flavor.  The meat was really tender!!!Other members in my party had burgers and fries/mac and cheese and the brisket sandwich with fries.  The burgers were loaded with fresh ingredients,  cheese and  served on a brioche burger bun.  There was an option to add bacon as well. Bacon makes everything better, right?! The consensus from everyone was that they enjoyed what the ordered.  My nephew was the only one leaving with a to go box! Overall, service for a holiday was good. The staff was quite helpful and very attentive.   I really did like the vibe this place gives.  I love the couch that's in the dining area- makes you feel like you're right at home.  Ash is on my list to try for brunch real soon!   The staff took really good care of our party of 7 - it was a great experience!

Stopped in for brunch on a Sunday around noon and was able to get a table with little to no wait. The menu was fairly small, just a few options for each section. But you know what the say - less is more!I tried their Biscuits and Conecuh Sausage Gravy and it was hands down the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. The portions are also smaller than your average restaurant portions these days, but definitely enough to keep you full until dinnertime. I've got my eye on the double cheeseburger for next time.
