They had us waiting forever to get a table, they said 45 mins and it was 1 hr and 20 mins and we were still standing waiting for our table. People that got there after us was seated before. The young male host was very rude to some of my friends asking who were they with and he was literally kicking other people that had just arrived out of the restaurant, telling them they were going to close in 30 mins and didn’t even let them buy a beer. I am definitely not going back to this place.

Great homemade food with mountain cabin vibes! I got the bbq chicken sandwich and it was super tender and tasty, but desperately needed salt (I never am one to add salt but had to). The crumble pie was one of the better pies I’ve ever had, so that’s worth it! I thought their chili was a tad over salted and too much cumin for my preference.
Everyone seemed to like their meal and I’d come back if we visited Tucson again!

Everyone was polite and everything came out in decent time, that's why I feel bad writing this, but the food was just bland, definitely not fresh. Coffee tasted like they hadn't cleaned the machine in a while, or the pot had been left out overnight. Creamers they brought out were actually spoiled with soggy lids. To top it all off the toilet was filthy. Just seems like there's a lack of care going on here that people should be aware of, maybe it's just during the summer

Spent the weekend with friends at their cabin on Mt. Lemmon. Went for breakfast at the Iron Door before embarking on a hike down to Marshall Gulch. The Iron Door has an agreement with Ski Valley across the street to offer discounted lift tickets (ask the wait staff for details) which we used for the ascent to begin our hike.
When it’s over 100°F in the valley, the cooler mountain air and surrounding greenery are much appreciated and breakfast on their balcony patio is a great way to take it all in, abundant hummingbirds flittering about. The balcony has a lattice wood covering which attenuates the bright sunlight (and makes your photos look a bit wonky) — bring your sunglasses anyway.
Four of us dining. The orders included 1) a Cheese & Veggie Omelet ($15.51), 2) Two Eggs & Meat/Bacon ($13.44), 3) Black Forest Breakfast with Strudel ($17.58) and I ordered 4) the Hungry Man with a brat and pancakes ($18.62). According to the receipt, they source their coffee ($4.65) from Tucson’s own Coffee X Change. Total with tax, pre-tip, came to $74.06, with tip over $20/person. Everyone in the party enjoyed the meal; a very nice experience.

The waitress was very nice and the restaurant is great.The chili was not that good little meat and too much beans. The pies are not that good either. Very disappointing.

Great food in a great location. Best breakfast at the top of the mountain.
I wish I could have given them zero Stars because they didn't deserve a one star review. Twice. I have been there and so disappointed in their attitudes that the second time I left before I ordered the food. The first time I went with my dear friend who is handicapped And struggles walking with a walker. There is no handicapped ramp at the front door so she walked up the hill and went to the back door where there is a ramp. Then we went through the restaurant and back to the front where the Host is stationed. He told us that we had to wait outside because we didn't have a reservation. So out we go Walker and all and waited for approximately 30 minutes until we went back inside and waited another 10 minutes for a table. At that time he was very rude and we almost left but I thought that was just a one-time deal about a person having a bad day. So we tried again, number 2 review. We made a reservation several days in advance, on a Thursday for 14 people to sit at an extended table inside the restaurant. When we arrived we were told to wait outside but if we had to go to the restroom we could only go two at a time. We didn't need to use the restroom we needed to have a seat at our table that we reserved. Mind you, there is no waiting area outside. It is only blacktop and not even shaded. So we waited outside for about 25 to 30 minutes. Then they called our name and we walked up the stairs inside to the holding area. We were treated like chattel. The greeter, host, manager started counting off people and told the first seven people to follow him. While I was one of the first seven people, my husband wasn't and I repeatedly told him I don't want to be with the first seven people because I want to sit with my husband. So he counted off people again and these seven people followed him outside to a corner area . They were walked to the restaurant past several empty tables and told to sit outside in the corner. One of the gentlemen in our group felt very disrespected and voiced his opinion then he walked out. We were treated so disrespectful that all of us decided to leave. Our reservation was not honored. Our request was not honored. We wanted to eat together so we all decided to go someplace else. We ended up at the Mt. Lemmon Lodge that seated us immediately had our orders out to us with in 15 minutes. The iron door should be called the iron fist. I gave them two chances. I will never go there again and that was the opinion of All 14 of us. Sorry iron door but you didn't deserve our $500 . Being that we all work on Mount Lemmon, it's going to end up being a lot more than $500 that you lost. Due to your disrespectful attitude. We will all take our business elsewhere.

I was there today and I have never witnessed anything like I did today. The manager was so unprofessional, he was screaming at another patron and telling them who could sit with who and the way he treated them was horrible. Maybe some more training in customer service is in order. This was a rather large group and the ended up just walking out. I didn't blame them. I will telling all my friends not to give this place any business if that how they treat their customers. Shame on you!!!!!

Sorry, I have no photos. Everything was delicious, the staff was lovely and attentive, we sat on the patio and facing the ski slope. So much better than expected.

You can't beat it. They're the only game at the top but they still have high standards (pun intended!). The food is amazing, atmosphere can't be beat. Choose outside for an up-close and personal experience with the hummingbirds. The German potato salad is incredible. Very friendly, great place. Check the hours! Closed Tues-Wed
