    BEST BRUNCH!

    We came here for brunch on Sunday because it was the only place in town that was open and had power. It turned out to be a highlight of our trip! The service was amazing and very helpful. The brunch though....omggg you guys was SO good! (See pictures posted of what we ordered!)

    I recommend starting with the Mexican Iced Coffee. I wasn't sure if it had alcohol in it because the description didn't say for sure but IT DOES. I ordered the Brioche French Toast which was very filling. I wish it had more fruit toppings but it was still very good! Another person really enjoyed the Steak and Egg Tacos.

    Very cool atmosphere. Large portions. Friendly staff. I recommend trying this place out for brunch!

    My wife and I really like Iron Horse. It isn't big but the service is always good, the drinks are on point, and the food is solid if not spectacular.

    Drink favorites are the margarita, the evel fashioned and the angry ginger. I usually get the tacos or chicken enchiladas. Again good just not jaw dropping. My wife got the tamales last stop and enjoyed them.

    Iron Horse is a cool spot. It just feels really hip without being too hipster. You can usually get a table without much of a wait and if you do have to wait their really good bar will keep you properly hydrated. If you haven't been to Iron Horse, plan a stop.

    Meh..

    Bad so called Mexican food.. even for bar food standards..
    below average service.. way too expensive...

    Went here on the Woodward dream cruise day. There was hardly any customers in the place.

    We were party of 8. He seemed surprised to see so many people. Lol

    The chips and salsa. Was bland and tasteless. Old chips..lacking crispness..

    We ordered every possible vegetarian item in the menu., non of them tasted good.. either tasted stale or tasted bad..

    None of them tasted fresh..

    I was looking forward to the tofu taco. Which turned out to be the worst dish of all. :(

    The service was very slow. Not very attentive

    Never ever!

    Plenty of paid street parking right in front..

    I am from the area and didn't know Iron House existed until about two months ago. Since I have discovered it I have been there three times. Once for food and drinks and twice for just drinks and apps. I one time I ate there I had the wet burrito and it was delicious! I also got the Aperol spritz and fell in love. I could have had five of them they were so dang tasty.

    I like to come here when my boyfriend and I are looking for a happy hour but don't want to deal with the craziness of main street. Parking is super close and it's usually not too busy.

    The atmosphere is industrial and comfortable. Dimly-lit, liked the music. Our server did a nice job but we felt like after 60 minutes he wanted us to move on. It was not busy. About 25% of the tables were open. Food was okay. In my case, over-cooked. I would go back to get a cocktail before a show but we don't think we would do the food again.
