Wow, wow, wow!
This place is a gem for sure!
We are celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary today, and wanted to go somewhere different. After checking the options here on Yelp, we settled on Iron City Birmingham.
We parked on the 22nd Street side, and mistakenly tried to go in the doors for the concert area. The young lady pointed us around the corner to the restaurant entrance on the 6th Avenue side.
Kris, our waitress, was extremely friendly. We had questions, she had answers. She shared what she liked the most from the menu, and we went with her recommendations. We came in hungry, so we started with the Fried Green Tomatoes topped with pimento cheese and pork belly. I am not a fried green tomato lover (in fact, I don't do tomatoes), but that appetizer was delicious. Crunchy, creamy, just wow.
My husband went with the Iron Pork Tacos and I went with the Prime Rib Sandwich with sweet potato fries. Both of the meals looked tantalizing. I actually took a bite of his cup of street corn, and it was delicious. My husband loved his tacos and said he didn't need any of the Texas Pete hot sauce that Kris brought out. I thought my sandwich was incredible - moist and tender - and the sweet potato fries were perfectly crunchy, not oily at all.
Kris came back with the dessert menu. We were both full, but got two slices of the gluten free White Russian Ice Cream cake to go. I am looking forward to diving into that for real.
We even gave Kris inspiration when we shared our thoughts behind staying together for as long as we have.
Thank you SO much, Iron City, for giving us a GREAT anniversary dinner! We will be back!
