★★★★★ 5.0 Luke K · Dec 2025

Loved the vibe here and the pizza was phenomenal. You wouldn’t even think it’s a pizza spot when you walk in, but the pies are great. Super fresh ingredients and that perfect crispy, charred crust. They had over 30 beers on tap. The whole place was also decorated really cute for Christmas. Definitely coming back.

We came here on whim since it had always looked interesting and I’m incredibly glad we did! The pizza was fantastic. If you do come here, that is a must have. I had a Kenilworth Beef which was spicier than expected but delicious none the less. The craft beer selection was extensive but incredible. You’ll certainly have selections here that you’ve never had before. This was a great place to hang out, have some food, a few drinks, and watch a football game. Although there is no kids menu, kids are certainly welcome and thanks to the noise level, no concern whatsoever about bringing children. Our server, Julian was friendly and outgoing and make come solid recommendations regarding food and drinks. We’re incredibly glad we came here and would certainly come again!

Ava’s is a rare gem. Many places have either delicious food or tantalizing libations. You will find both and much more at this time tested gastronomic extravaganza. Whether it’s your first visit or your 50th you are treated like family. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel at home and the food is beyond comparison. The menu is updated regularly, and only the finest ingredients are used to prepare endless taste bud orgasms. It’s also spotless clean and they even use cloth napkins. I guarantee that you will become addicted to Ava’s. Treat yourself and your family today. God Bless Blue & Gold! God Bless America! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!

Got to love this place! Got that old school rustic feel. Pricey but the food and drinks here are awesome. Erin was our server and she was wonderful. Took time to chat with us and point out things on the menus. We had some good laughs and will be back again

I had an incredible experience at Ava’s Kitchen! From start to finish, everything was top notch. Manager Rick went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of, and bartender Wilson truly made the night with his specialty drinks.. creative, delicious, and beautifully crafted. The energy at the bar was amazing thanks to him. And a huge shoutout to the chefs in the kitchen.. the food was absolutely phenomenal! Every dish came out perfectly prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Between the excellent service, fantastic drinks, and outstanding food, Ava’s Kitchen exceeded all expectations. Can’t wait to come back again soon!
