Went here with some girlfriends from work for brunch. The food was delicious, we all had the fried catfish. It was seasoned to perfection and had two sides, with a side a sweet cornbread. There were cheesy grits that I could've went without, will not be trying those again. Drinks were delicious too. Would give it another go.
Was visiting Milwaukee and stopped in. I was fine. Not what I was accustomed to livinng in North Carolina. My biggest thing was the portion compared to the price. The owner was also very friendly and made sure everything was ok.
My only gripe was service was a little on the slow side. Other than that, next time I'm in Milwaukee, I'll be back.
Ashleys On Center. Every now and then I get a taste for rib tips and I order from Ashley's. Sometimes the food is awesome, and at times not so. Customer service can be Improved.
I know it is a fast paced business, but Mr Donny Its your business. Treat your customers like you don't want them to go anywhere else for their Q fix. Purchased two dinners Saturday night, food was a 10. Customer service 0. Stop asking me is that all before I finish giving you my order, especially when I start by saying I want to order 2 dinners and you cut me off at one with will that be all.?
Thank You

I never really would ask for ribs .. I always ate chicken or steak. I have had ribs ...my grandma would make them , or my uncle dennis...they both knew what they were doing . I tried ashleys and ...wow! I was home again from the moment I tasted them . I love ashley's fries and other sides as well. I will always think of ashleys when I want bbq. And I will recommend ashleys to everyone I know. The people are very polite...very kind . And I loved that the place is very clean!!! Keep up the great work ashley's ! Michele,D
Its good eating bq is off the chain the kids love it 2 on my way down 4 tuesday special now the sauce is mouthwatering
Best bbq in Milwaukee! Beats speed-queen hands down. Large portions, good prices, very friendly staff. The neighborhood isn't great, but that doesn't stop me from going there. It is carry out only.
Better Than Speed Who........ This is the best BBQ in Milwaukee, and if you don't agree then you have not been there yet. Ashley's sons are making him proud with their production of their Dad's BBQ recipe. The taste will make you say Speed Who.....
Try it on a Sunday during "Soul Food Sunday" and you will be glad you did.
Outstanding Food / Large Portions. I've been there a number of times and tried something new each time. Their barb-b-que is better than anywhere else in the state of Wisconsin. Their portion are gigantic, never leaving room for seconds. I recondmend it to anyone who is a barb-b-que enthusiast.
It's funny, as reactions to the Speed Queen review were certainly polarized: one side, I had folks railing against me for not claiming the shoulder as the second coming of Christ. On the other side, I had the dismissive scoffs of barbecue aficionados who
The food is the only good thing about this place.
Its a hole in wall dive.
It's also open on sundays.
It doesnt have a good viewable or understandable menu.
you might want to know what you want before getting there.
I looked up BarB Q on goggle. I chose Ashley's . I ordered a mix combination of ribs and burnt ends and shoulder. It came with beans, potato salad and 2 slices of bread. I ordered fried okra also. I waited about 15 minutes for my order. This place is busy. The service was excellent and the food portion was well worth your money. I had some left overs for the next day. The taste was perfect. It's a cash only operation they do have a cash machine there for you. Just to let you know again either order ahead or wait for little bit. They are busy. But we'll worth the wait.
Long wait but worth it. I guess it's a good thing to wait for fresh, good food. Not a big waiting area and in the warmer months it's hot and stuffy. Order ahead or just wait in your car. No dine in. Only a few delivery apps available.
I think the drive is worth it. Ordering through DoorDash is very expensive. Seemed popular because of people walking in, online orders and DoorDashers. And Help Wanted sign on door indicates short staffed.
Food is good and priced reasonably.
BBQ, soul food on the weekend, this place is underrated. They have never let me down and the food is always delicious no matter what I order. Picture is of the shoulder sandwich and the catfish dinner. Cash only
Milwaukee favorite only downside is lines are too.long.... foods great..... try ribtips and cornbread.
I made it to Ashley's 15 minutes to opening and I left at 1130. I was putting an order of a pan of ribs..she quoted a price of 47.59 then she later told me that was the wrong price then quoted me another price of 135.59. my total came out to be 144.58. I couldn't understand why it took so long to put my order in and why the taxes was so high. Once the owner came in re did my order and told me it was gratuity. I had no problem paying gratuity..I didn't know you pay gratuity for a pick up.
I love the catfish, which was crusty and flaky, with lower salt than other places. Yams/sweet potatoes had a really nice nutmeg taste and they weren't overly sweetened. Mac and cheese isn't the saucy type, but the cheese was noticable. And they use she'll macaroni, a nice touch. Fries were crunchy outside and flavorful.
My husband's rib tips disappeared fast, but his dressing (purchased separately) was dry. It had herbs and something I remember from my childhood, but can't name.
All told, it was a very enjoyable dinner.
Update 5.6.23. I had pork chops this time - fantastic! Light breading and tender to perfection. This is now my favorite chop restaurant.

Amazing Food. Nice portion sizes and really good prices. Took a bit long for the order but it was worth the wait!
We had Ashley's cater for a 60th Bday party for 25-30 people. We had fried catfish, chicken, Mac & Cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, greens, Cole slaw, and corn bread. It was all very good, especially the catfish, the potatoes and the cornbread. Delivered to our house. Thank you!
