The service is tops. We had a few minor issues like dirty plates but the response was absolutely fantastic. She even gave my girls a churro dessert to make up for it. They went above and beyond to create a wonderful experience for my family. the tacos are amazing, angus burger was a hit, I recommend the blackened chicken quesadillas.

This is a must stop spot, great atmosphere, Staff friendly and professional, Food is fast and delicious as well as the prices you can’t beat the price of a good Taco, Nacho or Cuban Sandwich and if that’s not what your in the mood for you could always try one of there signature pizzas…The Spicey Mexican is one of my all time favorites…

We randomly found Iron Horse and we were very happy to find it. It's tucked between a few businesses and doesn't stand out so much from the front. But the inside is actually a decent size with numerous tables. The ambience is intimate with low lighting and comfortable seating. However, the giant screen in the front area of the bar seems a little unnecessary. The food was great, we ordered the chorizo tacos and a salad. We ended the night with delicious churros that came with caramel and strawberry sauce. It was a great night.

If I could give service zero stars, I really would. My friends and I had been wanting to try the Iron Horse for quite some time. We put it off, but when a friend came in from Florida we thought what a perfect time. As soon as we arrived for our reservation, our waiter, a man with sleeve tattoos on each arm, was just rude. As we said hi, how are you today, there was no reciprocation and he was very rushed. At the time, we were one of three tables on the main floor. We asked him if we could have a couple minutes to look at the drink menu. He looked annoyed and sighed. He came back after 10 minutes and we said we were still trying to decide and could we please have just two more minutes. He sighs yet again and says well it’s going to be longer than two minutes and walks off. We look at each other and discuss what could possibly be his issue. True enough, we waited almost 25 minutes for him to come back, each of us tried to flag him down during that time and he obviously ignored us. He comes back, we order an app and drink. When I tasted my drink, it was very bitter so when he came back to get our entree order, I asked if I could have a little more strawberry to curb the tartness. It was a Mexican mule that had strawberrry (as said in the menu). He goes, there’s none of that in there and just stares as me, so I go um, do you have a suggestion? Annoyed yet again, he goes, ginger beer. I know that’s not sweet but at this point we’re all just done with his attitude so I agree. As we’re eating our app, the salsa and chips, my friend notices a blonde hair on my fork which is coming out of the salsa. Please keep in mind my friends and I are all brunettes. My friend says don’t even say anything just get new silverware and we’ll leave the salsa alone. God knows if something will be done to our food if we say anything. When he comes back with entrees, I ask him for some new silverware. He walks away and goes, maybe. I then said what, You’ve got be kidding angrily. He then says we have a finite amount of silverware and our cooks are already doing dishes. I say well I have blonde hair on mine. Then my friend says there’s silverware on the table behind us just grab that. Then all of sudden he brings silverware and says that he didn’t mean that come out how he said it. Then after that, another 1/2 hour later, he brings extra gingerbeer as discussed above. Service was atrocious and inexcusable. What a bummer on the beginning of our entire night. We won’t ever come back, which sucks because we have a girl’s night once a month and it could have been a staple for us. I’ve attached a pic of the hair.

First time here and we will be back! The pizzas are to die for. We had the spinach garlic and sweet Mexican pizza. Sooooo good!!!! The waitstaff and the hostess are top notch! Such personal attention and so friendly! I’m coming back for sure! Will need to try brunch here!

We came here for dinner with a few of our friends and service was outstanding. I wish I got our waiters name (blonde, tall, had a gray beanie on) and he over heard I was pregnant and not eating much and he so graciously brought me out a plate of pickles. I mean, 10/10 on the service and thoughtfulness. We will absolutely be back just because of this waiter. (We were here Saturday Feb 10th and our reservations were at 730.)

Awesome brunch options. Love this place and the atmosphere. If you're lucky to get prime real estate by the front window its great to just sit, eat and people watch Royal Oak visitors. Definitely recommend trying the biscuits and chorizo gravy. You won't be disappointed!
