Absolutely recommend stopping here. This place has been on my list for a good while now, but could never get the family to stop when traveling through.

The building itself is awesome, with the steel girter construction and industrial revolution steel worker figurines and photos everywhere. Who could forget the train traveling throughout the whole ceiling as well. They also had a nice festive touch for the holidays.

All the food was excellent.

Wonderful restaurant with a very unique and comfortable environment! Very friendly staff and wonderful American cuisine. We share Nachos as a light lunch as a group of three and the dish was awesome! Would definitely recommend stopping in while in town. We originally were going to go to the Journeyman foundry that was closed for a private event. This ended up being a wonderful solution!
