Colleen's Kitchen — Restaurant in Ashland

I stumbled upon Colleen's Kitchen by chance after missing my exit and taking a wrong turn, and I’m so glad I did! This charming little restaurant in a small-town setting turned out to be a delightful surprise. The cozy vibes of the place made me feel right at home the moment I walked in.

I ordered the corned beef hash with a Belgian waffle, and it was hands down one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. The hash was perfectly crispy, and the waffle was light and fluffy, made even better by the rich, local New Hampshire maple syrup—just heavenly! You can tell that Colleen, the owner and cook, pours her heart into every dish.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Colleen’s husband, Steve, who was helping out and adding to the family-friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The waitress, Tara, was such a sweetheart—attentive and friendly, she made sure I had everything I needed.

What started as a wrong turn led me to this hidden gem. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Colleen's Kitchen for a warm, home-cooked meal and a cozy, small-town experience. I know I’ll be back every time I come to...

My husband throughly enjoyed his meal, however what sets this place over the edge was the staffing. Both waitresses were extremely kind, but Steve he was extremely thoughtful. i was sitting outside with my little dog, waiting for my husband to have breastfast, and he asked me if my dog liked bacon- of course he does! he brought out my little pup an egg (made to his liking) and a piece of bacon. i know it sounds so little but it meant a lot to us. thank you for being so kind, and we will...

While traveling with my sister, her 6 year old son and my 6 and 3 year old children, we stopped in to Colleen's. The kids were a bit out of control, but this did not stop the staff from being kind and welcoming. The food was amazing, and Colleen even stopped over to ask how things were. This was such an incredible experience for us all, and my son even said that his waffle was "the most delicious waffle ever in the world" - wish I could give more...
