Best Southern American Restaurants in Pinehurst

We had the pleasure of dining at Ashten’s last night for our anniversary, and it was truly a memorable experience. We ordered the Crispy Maple Leaf Farms Duck and the 12-ounce Brasstown Beef NY Strip, and both dishes were nothing short of perfection. The duck was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a rich, flavorful sauce that tied the dish together beautifully. The NY Strip was cooked exactly to our liking — tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. Our waiter elevated the experience even further with his thoughtful recommendations, genuine enthusiasm, and impeccable attention to detail. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service exceed expectations, but Ashten’s delivered on every level. Highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or even just a night out. We will definitely be returning for more!

We had a great lunch! Teagan is a great server and does a great job. We are still enjoying the shrimp/lobster quesadilla taco. Two os us are stuck on the salads. The food is good and the staff are very friendly. Malik walked by to wish us Happy New Year!

Great experience for the 18th birthday of our boy. The food was amazing as always and our server Rachel was warm, professional and helped make the occasion very special! She is a keeper!
