We were celebrating a birthday with a small group. The hostess was lovely and kind. Our server was terrific and gave great advice on food and drink. She also asked the birthday girl if she’d like a dessert on the house. We split the churros, which were awesome. Food and drink were perfect! We will return again! Thank you for a great night!

Good, solid Mexican fare at a very reasonable price. The Esquites dip is not to be missed! Very different and delicious, a good starter to share. You can get smaller a la cart items or larger entrees, depending on what you are up for. Birria tacos are fabulous! Excellent Happy Hour deals. Wait staff was friendly and very efficient. This place has a fun, familiar vibe. We’ll be back.

We LOVE going to Iron Horse. Probably the best chips and salsa in SE MI and I love the selection of al a carte tacos (crunch beef, birria, and steak are my go-tos). Always a great meal!

It was obvious that they were short staffed. I would give our waitress 5 stars because she did really well despite being short staffed. I rated service a 3 because of the lack of staff. The food and drinks were excellent. I would go back again. On show nights make sure you have a reservation!

Love this restaurant! Made a reservation and requested a high chair in the notes and they had everything set up for us when we walked in. They checked on us several times and service is always efficient and consistent! Prices are also incredibly reasonable for what you get!

Food and service was great! We were at a table in the bar, so it was kind of loud but not crazy. Casual bar atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

Go to one of these restaurants by the Royal Oak Music Theatre (Iron Horse or D'Amato's for sure). The service and quality of food is unparalleled. Had a fantastic dinner with the family on a Friday evening. Superb experience and taste. I will definitely be back soon!
