    The food was excellent,however we waited for almost an hour. Our waiter very seldom checked on us. Ot would have been nice to at least know what was happening. I never had to wait that long for a meal on any restaurant. A little communication goes a long way. I would go there again and hopefully not have to wait as long.

    Visited the Iron Rail with another couple. Even being 30 minutes early, we were seated quickly. Server and hostess were both great! Everybody easily found items on the menu that they were excited to try, from drinks and appetizers to deserts. Food did not disappoint! Nice variety of food options and interesting drink specials. We mostly stuck with the burgers this time, but will definitely be back to try the some of the other items on the menu that intrigued us. Food presentation was as nice as what you see on their social media pages. Portions generous. No complaints from us - only praise!

    The signature bloody Mary was absolutely outstanding. One of the best spicy bloody Mary’s I’ve ever had. The burgers were great too! I’d steer clear of the French onion soup, it was so sweet and overly thick. Great ambience, great bartenders we will definitely go back and try some Other menu options.

    DO NOT GO HERE WITH ANY MORE THAN 5 people, 2 times now they cannot handle a larger party. Our total was 8 at one table and 6 at another. he took the order at one table and then didn’t take the other one for another half hour. The waiter was absolutely awful and forgot to put our order in but then blamed us and blamed it on having a big party so the food takes longer. Honestly it was totally unacceptable and they should’ve given us free apps to cover the 1.5 hour gap between ordering and food. Also the order was taken incorrectly and someone and ended up with no food who had to wait another 25 minutes to get a hamburger at 9:55 pm he finally got it.
