5 reviews for Deep Water Grille and South Shore Brewery
I've been here a few times in my life, and each time, I can't really complain about anything. The food is good.. I wouldn't say great... but definitely good!
I like their waffle fries, and their Caesar salad is pretty tasty as well.. a bit nontraditional, but tasty.
They have specials a lot as well, usually nightly. I find them to be a bit spendy, but at the same time, I never really order that much food in once sitting. You do get a lot of food for what you pay. The price, overall, is decent. Like I said, it is a bit high, but for the most part, reasonable.
The service is good, but the restaurant can get pretty busy on the weekend nights! If you want a seat, you may have to call ahead, or go get a tasty South Shore brew from the bar while you wait... another great idea!
My wife and I ate here on July 27, 2009 while we were in the area visiting some relatives. If you're looking for a place with an outdoor view - this isn't the place - it's a few blocks off the main drag that goes along the Lake Superior coastline in what appears to be a section of Ashland that's seen better days.
We were here for dinner - not sandwiches - and I wasn't real impressed with the selection of entrees. I'm not a big fan of thin fish but I ordered the Lake Superior Whitefish on the recommendation of our waitress. Considering we were a few blocks from Lake Superior, I had much higher expectations for both the taste and portion size. Quite frankly, I'd have preferred a burger to the fish - it tasted fishy and I just couldn't get the gluey bottom skin taste off the fish. My wife was disappointed with her entree as well.
A couple positive comments - the interior space is very attractive - typical yuppie industrial warehouse style and - our waitress was efficient and friendly. It's tough to review a place based on one experience so take that into consideration.
I got the impression that this spot is trying too hard to be more sophisticated than it is. Beer, burgers, and sandwiches might fit this place - and the blue-collar town more comfortably (and successfully). Should my wife and I return in the future - we'll be making our selections from that section of the menu.
Four stars for son's soup/sandwich combo (am thinking the wonderful swirl rye must have come from Ashland Baking up the street) (beer cheese soup was his selection); two for my Friday fish fry, operant word truly being FRY. They fried the SH&T out of my fish. It was hard and dry and I would have sent it back had I been a regular. Didn't want to be viewed as a whiny tourist, though, so I choked down what I could manage, along with the equally dry potato mash that was plopped onto my plate (and held its shape a bit too nicely) with an ice cream-type scoop.
Locals had recommended. I wouldn't go back.

Of all the places on my trip, I wish we could have one in the TC. I just love the eclectic menu. I had the slow roasted beef pita. It was the best beef sandwich I ever had. It just didn't belong in a toasted pita.Now I know next time I can request a bun. Basil had the special, tri-colored tortellini in a cream sauce. It looked like it should be in a magazine, and was delicious. I tried the beer cheese soup in the special ale. Different. A very beautifully decorated pub, especially the wood. An interesting narrow upper level. It fills up quickly here.

This restaurant is attached to the South Shore Brewery, which brews some pretty good beer. The restaurant itself is fine, another burger and fries place, with some entrees that seemed a little pricey. The waitress was well versed in vegetarian and warned me against the beer cheese soup (chicken stock). Much appreciated.
I love love love brewpubs that do growlers. Brought hope a big bottle of mai bock, and on a Sunday! Ah, Wisconsin.
