Dempsey's of Ashton

I Wish Columbia Had a Diner Like This Place!I used to come here a lot before I moved over a decade ago. I recently tried it out again, and was blown away! The food is absolutely top notch! For example, I usually use a plain iced tea as a metric just to see how clean a restaurant is, but I was shocked at how flavorful it was. Apparently they brew it in-house, and all their other food options are in-line with that concept of attention to detail and quality. Staff was fantastic as well, you can tell they enjoy working there and with the repeat customers.

We went for lunch around 2 pm on a Saturday. The service was not good. Four tables and five servers yet it took more than fifteen minutes for our order to be taken. The food was ok. Chili and open face roast beef.As a standard local spot it was ok.

I had lunch here today. I had the Danny omelet. It was hot and very good. The hash browns were cold and old. The scrapple was very over cooked. The service was pleasant and refilled coffee often.

I love being able to order breakfast all day. This diner is in a small strip mall. The menu is simple. Denny's is cheaper but I can't think of a Denny's in the DMV that has stellar service. The location was convenient.The server was friendly and checked on us frequently. The pancakes are huge. The hash browns were good. The grits could have been better but, it is easy to drown them in butter.

We discovered this place through the Support MoCo Restaurants FB group. Let me start by saying that I LOVE BREAKFAST! I was willing to drive half hour to find out- was it worth the drive.Currently the restaurant is only doing carry-out and curbside. The staff was so nice. In our first time fashion, we ordered a few breakfast items and few desserts. First, the Tater Tot Florentine- with hollandaise sauce on the side. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the tater tot on the bottom provided a good texture and vehicle to soak up tge yolk.Next, the Pecan Raisin Toast. It was different in a good way. The pecans were baked into the bread We also got sides of sausage patties and bacon. They did not disappoint.On to the homemade desserts: apple pie, pineapple cake, chocolate cake, blueberry cobbler. All delicious. We look forward to when the indoor dinner is opened to get the full experience.

My 2 sons and I have lived in the area since the end of last December. We visited dempseys twice so far. Both times, we had an amazing experience, even when the second time they were short staffed, bless their hearts. We love the food, the atmosphere, and the price is definitely worth it!

Some of the reviews amaze me. It's an old style local restaurant with basic food that is pretty good. They do serve breakfast all day which is unusual but makes for a great option. We enjoy the casual atmosphere and the food. We find it crowded sometimes which should tell you something. Service is good.

Friendly service, good food, good prices. Breakfast is always great and burgers are top notch.

I discovered this gem a few years ago, and have had a delicious & enjoyable experience each time. I'd also like to give a shout out to Matt (the long dark hair guy), our server & all around attentive employee. He has a great disposition, funny sense of humor & you can tell he really enjoys his job!! Thanks

Yummy food and good service :) Good vibes overall! I ordered the breakfast burrito with bacon it was scrumptious
