Delicious meal and great ambiance! We ordered the whole chicken platter “to share” and it was amazing. The sauce for the chicken was sooo good! Really enjoyed it, and it was perfect for 3 people to share. For dessert we had the basque cheesecake with bourbon caramel and OMG. My mouth was in heaven.Not sure why they only have a 3.7 rating, I highly recommend this restaurant for a cozy dinner in Mountain Village!

The service was slow. We didn't get menus for a good 10-15 minutes. The two bottles of wine we tried to order they couldn't find - took about 45 minutes to receive a drink. It didn't appear to be super packed when we were there - there was a good amount of empty tables. A few of us ordered the wagyu burger. It was pretty good. The fondue appetizer was also good.

The waitress was pleasant and was working hard but had too many tables to provide good service . When I asked for more bread for fondue it took 20 minutes . Delays in cleaning plates from table , getting more water and bringing the check . Fondue was initially cold and was returned for warmer fondue .

We've been here before and expected the higher costs. But the service was miserable. We waited and waited for our drink order and it was very loud with a lot of open tables. Don't think we'll be back.

Went with a group of 6, 3 of us had the bison and it was probably the worst cut of bison they could buy. It was about 40% fat with some tendons thrown in to make it un-chewable even if you did decide to perceiver all the fat. The trout was good but only about half a filet. The elk was also good but again probably about half the serving size you’d expect even at a fancy restaurant like this one. The bison was also all cold by the time they re-plated it so that it could fit on the table. Would definitely not go again and regret ignoring all the bad reviews online.

We enjoyed our burgers and they did a nice job of customizing them. French fries were hand cut and not the frozen type which was great, but their truffle fries lacked any hint of truffleness. We'd recommend coming here for lively and loud dining but be aware that the prices reflect the high costs of doing business in Telluride.
The Black Iron Kitchen and Bar has to be the worst restaurant I and my party of 6 have ever had the misfortune to enter. The tables were uncomfortably far from the seats and several TV's were playing in the background. It presented a sports bar ambiance with prices comparable to the most elegant restaurants in cities around the world and was unbelievably awful. The portions would equate with lean cuisine, including the trout, elk and the bison, which was inedible because of fat and tendons, served on platters too large to fit on the table and when reintroduced on plates, so cold as to be repulsive. The waiters tried to compensate by offering free dessert. They gave a $44 discount —almost an insult!!

We had a great meal here. It is expensive for the food amount. The Elk Loin and Pot Roast were both excellent dishes. The apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream was very good! They have a very extensive wine list and the service was good. We sat inside, nice fire place and atmosphere. They take reservations which is nice for planning ahead.

Great atmosphere. Food menu is unique. Our server Amy G. made our dining experience perfect. She was very attentive and provided details about the menu offerings with a smile.
Pretty disappointed in this restaurant. The food was alright but the service was terrible. Our waiter was barely around and seemed disinterested in being a waiter. Then the food took forever to arrive. It was an hour 15 minutes after getting there before we could eat our main course. They didn’t really apologize; they just set some bread on the table without any explanation, which was weird. Anyway, I think there are better options for eating in the mountain village.

Atmosphere is great! Bathrooms have amazing smelling soap from the hotel. The food is ok. The “truffle fries” are regular fries with parmesan cheese, zero truffle oil or favor. The smash burgers were only good if drenched in 1000 island sauce, the meat was tasteless. Best lemonade in town.

We've been here several times and generally enjoy the food and atmosphere. Last night was different. The service was poor, our server was very pushy like they needed to flip the table, and the elk loin (two orders) both came out at room temperature like they had been sitting in the kitchen waiting to be served for a long time. Very disappointing for a 'last night in Telluride' dinner.

We have been coming here for almost as long as the restaurant has been open. We always come for the burger which up until this year has been a nice pub style, thick, juicy burger, and they change it to a Smashburger, but it still shows the Wagyu burger on the menu.  needless to say it, it is the worst hamburger I have had at any establishment in Telluride in the last 20 years. Moreover, one of our burgers had to be sent back three times because we wanted it without cheese and without the onion jam and all that came on it the first time was one paper thin patty with cheese, nothing else. So we sent that back and it came back with one patty, no cheese, lettuce- a plain burger . The third time came back as ordered which is two patties no cheese, no onion, jam and everything else. If the burger doesn't return to the pub style burger that were used to having Will probably never be back to this establishment due to the poor quality of this dish. Wine by the glass is nice.
