  The first time I went here was in 2011. The pizza was excellent and the huckleberry ice cream even better. The service was excellent.
  
  However, I had a very different experience coming here two weeks ago.
  
  My friends and I were very tired after a hike to Mesa Falls, and wanted to stop somewhere to eat. I'd recommended 511 because of my past experience. I'd heard that ownership had changed since but I didn't let that deter me. We walk in and just get stared at by the customers AND staff. No "Welcome" or even a "Hi!" from anyone. We weren't dressed weird or acting loud, so that was strange for us.
  
  We sat ourselves down quickly to avoid the gaze of everyone and waited to be served. The waitress was very nice and got us drinks. I'd told my friends the pizza was awesome, so some of us got individual-sized pizzas(avg. $8.00). Another got the mac & cheese bread bowl ($8). Another got the sandwich/french onion soup dip($12).
  
  Food came. The individual pizzas were micro-sized. Like the size of a grown man's fist. $8.75 for a fist full of pizza that was 70% crust and 30% mediocre toppings. The bread bowl, however, was huge and cheaper! I can understand why it was, since it's just bread and pasta, but come on! If you're going to charge 8 bucks for a pizza, make it worth it to your customers!
  
  We were reluctant, but we ordered dessert. Friend tried to order the famous shake. They didn't have it. I listed at least 5 ice cream flavors off of the menu (which by the way is just Farr's Ice Cream you can buy from the store) and the waiter said they were all out. My friend got a normal shake and got a separate cup because there was so much. I paid for a sundae that was 50 cents more than his huge shake and I got a tiny bowl with two small scoops of ice cream and a squirt of "hot fudge" on top (picture attached). Seriously? What is this? Balance your menu prices!!
  
  Pros:
  - Waitress was very nice and helpful. Can't remember her name. Latina.
  - Building: Really cool building that is well decorated and clean. This definitely is geared towards locals and tourists. Feels like a hometown restaurant.
  
  Cons:
  - Overpriced!! If you come here knowing you are going to spend money, get the larger-sized pizzas! Better cost/portion.
  - Lack of stock menu items. Why have 15 flavors of ice cream if only 8 are available and one isn't even sold anymore?
  
  Bottom Line: If you are looking for a homey place to eat pizza, this is one of the only decent one in the surrounding areas. Incredibly overpriced, but it might be worth it if you have the cash and order larger-sized pizzas.

  I will always miss the old Ashton City Drug and its soda fountain. 511 main has done a great job filling the void. They did a great job restoring the building. I have been here a few times. The Huckleberry shakes or the old fashioned soda are both delicious!
