“Tucked inside the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, Ironwood American Kitchen delivers more than just elevated comfort food it offers a genuinely welcoming experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff set the tone with their friendly professionalism. Every team member wore a smile, offered thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table.

The food? Stellar. The burger was a standout cooked to perfection and elevated by a house-made special sauce that added just the right kick. It was juicy, flavorful, and exactly what a gourmet burger should be. The popcorn chicken was another hit: piping hot, perfectly crispy, and paired with golden French fries that matched it in crunch and heat. It’s the kind of plate that disappears fast, and for good reason.

Whether you’re staying at the resort or just dropping in for a bite, Ironwood American Kitchen is worth the visit. Great food, great vibes, and a team that makes the whole experience feel personal.“

“Listen to this incredible service story… I ordered online and came to pick up my order. I was greeted warmly at the door by 3 waiters. The first told me she just had checked on my order and they were still working on it, and then promptly told me to have a seat and that she would return with water. The second approached 2 min later and said she’d check on my order and asked if I wanted more water while I waited. They brought my order out before it was expected and on the bag wrote, “Thank you Paul!” in a calligraphy-like text. I’m from out west. Service different out here in Scottsdale.“

“My party of four had a lovely dinner to celebrate a couple of birthdays at the table. I'd never before been to Evo and was pleasantly surprised. I liked the feel of the restaurant, from the decor to the music. Kayla was our server -- she was so friendly and attentive to our needs. We had the whipped feta with honey appetizer and it was delicious! A friend ordered ravioli that was made in-house and she loved it. Two others had the buratta salad and raved about it. My Caesar salad , minus a protein add-on, was pretty basic. I was so pleased to be prompted by Open Table when making the reservation to specify that ours was a birthday celebration. Kayla surprised our honorees with a petite chocolate mousse dessert complete with a candle. Such a sweet and generous touch. I'm absolutely returning but eill indulge in something more tempting than the Caesar next time.“

“Excellent food and service. A bit pricey but still worth it.“
