Updated Irish-accented pub grub, beer, flat-screen TVs & a polished-wood bar in 1834 building.

Hate leaving poor reviews, but our experience was definitely not worth a return. Stone’s was recommended by a friend, so we went with high hopes. We had fish and chips and an eggplant on ciabatta roll. The fish was tasty and flaky, but the fries were overly done and dry. The eggplant was good. However, our server Noel was the main reason for the disappointing evening. After taking and delivering our order, he never returned. We had both ordered drinks and would have ordered more. Our empty waters remained unfilled. We had to flag him down so we could get dessert. Then, after a half hour passed, they arrived with no explanation for the delay. To top it all off, another half hour passed until we got a bus boy to find him for our check! Since I’ve worked in the restaurant business, I would never have dined and dashed, but it would have been so easy! I also know so many other things are going on, so I’d never stiff a server on their tip. But it was well below the normal amount. Hopefully, this is not a normal occurrence for Stone’s

I only rate wonderful or terrible restaurants – I can’t give 3 stars. I am a fan of Irish food but this place sets the standard. The prices are ridiculously reasonable given the regions, the unique niche lore of the place, and the type of food. The service is very friendly. The food? Large servings of deliciousness. I recommend placing a reservation – the wait is justifiably long. We had the Irish pizza, the roasted cod, and the lamb shepherds pie. For dessert we had the dark chocolate lava w raspberry dish w a scoop of ice cream. I just can’t. Total bill around $120 for every drinks and some liberal spending. My only disappointment is that I can’t fit more food in. I cannot wait to come back for more!! Do yourself a favor, make the trip. You’ll be glad you did.

I really can’t say enough of this place. From the sevice to the food and the room with the fireplace, I loved it. It was my first time eating there, and I will definitely go back. The Lamb Shepard pie was so delicious, the lamb was so tender, you can’t go wrong with this dish. I got the lemon cake with freshly made whipped cream, intending to bring home, I ate the whole piece there, it was so good. I highly recommend Stone’s Public House!

Tripped over this place while i was out on a motorcycle ride. Stopped in and it’s that old school, exposed beam, pub that was built inside of a barn look. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s my favorite type of restaurant. I posted a video and you can see a bit of the bar layout. I had the smoked haddock and clam chowder. So good. Not a broth, and not that stupid new England thick chowder that the spoon can stand up in. It was perfect. Plenty of clams. Slight smokey flavor. Just right. The lobster roll was awesome. Simple. Nothing crazy. Ton of meat. I wish there was a little chopped celery in it, but not a deal breaker at all. I’ll ask for some next time. Brioche roll toasted just right too. French fries were great. Lightly seasoned. Crunchy outside. Mash potatoey inside. The cole slaw is very unique. Get it. I liked it a lot. I can’t put my finger on what was in it to make it so different. My guess was a little pickle juice, and maybe a small amount of blue cheese… I’m not sure, but it worked. The Miller lite draft was ice cold, and the best bloody Mary I’ve had in years. If you are a bloody Mary person, theirs is a contender for the best. I have not loved one like that in a long long time. The apple crisp was great. I asked for it cold, not hot. Bartender made fun of me a little for that, but still honored my request lol. She was very cool, and had some great breakfast suggestions in the area. I can’t wait to go back. All around great place to visit.

The dining room is on the first floor of this charming building, and doesn’t have a lot of seating, but there was plenty of space when we went. While we were having dinner, we saw the train pass by about 3 times, but it wasn’t loud at all. There is a full bar with bar seating, televisions behind it, and the main dining room has two active fireplaces that are lit during the colder seasons. The food was delicious, and the drinks were rather good, as well. We ordered the caramel espresso martini and the peach palmer drinks. We did have to ask for our waters to be refilled about 3 times, but other than that, the service was very good. We ended up being the last two people in the restaurant, so we were rushed a bit towards dessert, but that was understandable as they were closing, at 10pm.
There is plenty of parking for the restaurant in the back, and it is rather easy to find as well. I would certainly go back, when in the area, especially for the broccolini dish and the chowder.

I wasn’t overly impressed by the food. Chowder was tasty just lacked clams and smoked haddock, fish and chips was ok didn’t expect it to be fried flounder and if they say it’s cod then it’s the thinnest I ever had, lava cake and Guinness brownie were burnt inedible on a positive it was clean and service was great. Will not eat there again. But I am just one opinion try for yourself

A unique, historical and longtime fixture of Ashland. This establishment offers excellent food. You get what you pay for and what you get is the best. Drinks are always perfect. Staff is wonderful and the atmosphere could not be more cozy. You’ll hear a train every now and then but that is part of the beautiful experience. Outside dining is also nice. Highly recommend.
