Iron Horse is such a great find in Royal Oak—laid-back vibe, cool industrial decor, and consistently solid food. Whether you’re stopping in for brunch, lunch, or dinner, the menu delivers. The burgers are excellent, and the portions are generous without being over the top.
What really stands out is the atmosphere: welcoming without being loud, stylish without being pretentious. It’s the kind of place where you can hang out with friends or bring a date and have a great time either way.
Service has always been friendly and efficient whenever I’ve been in. Definitely one of Royal Oak’s better spots for a casual but high-quality meal. Looking forward to my next visit!

We were celebrating a birthday with a small group. The hostess was lovely and kind. Our server was terrific and gave great advice on food and drink. She also asked the birthday girl if she'd like a dessert on the house. We split the churros, which were awesome. Food and drink were perfect! We will return again! Thank you for a great night!

Good, solid Mexican fare at a very reasonable price. The Esquites dip is not to be missed! Very different and delicious, a good starter to share. You can get smaller a la cart items or larger entrees, depending on what you are up for. Birria tacos are fabulous! Excellent Happy Hour deals. Wait staff was friendly and very efficient. This place has a fun, familiar vibe. We'll be back.

Mediocre spot like the rest in this area

We LOVE going to Iron Horse. Probably the best chips and salsa in SE MI and I love the selection of al a carte tacos (crunch beef, birria, and steak are my go-tos). Always a great meal!

It was obvious that they were short staffed. I would give our waitress 5 stars because she did really well despite being short staffed. I rated service a 3 because of the lack of staff. The food and drinks were excellent. I would go back again. On show nights make sure you have a reservation!

Love this restaurant! Made a reservation and requested a high chair in the notes and they had everything set up for us when we walked in. They checked on us several times and service is always efficient and consistent! Prices are also incredibly reasonable for what you get!

Food and service was great! We were at a table in the bar, so it was kind of loud but not crazy. Casual bar atmosphere. Would definitely go back.
Go to one of these restaurants by the Royal Oak Music Theatre (Iron Horse or D'Amato's for sure). The service and quality of food is unparalleled. Had a fantastic dinner with the family on a Friday evening. Superb experience and taste. I will definitely be back soon!

Becoming regulars now. Sweet Mexican Pizza is the best pizza I've had in a LONG time.

Great ambiance in the restaurant. Good food and good service. I had the Cuban sandwich and my wife had the smash burger and both were really good.

Great nachos! And enjoyed the vegetarian options
