Heard about this place on Instagram/Facebook and added it to my “places to try” list. Since I was in the neighborhood, my mom and I stopped in.
The atmosphere was cool—just a little on the dark side for me, so I had a hard time reading the menu. Still, the ambiance was really fun. Think “country club up north meets speakeasy.”
Our server Jess was amazing. Super friendly and answered all our questions in detail. We ordered the deep-fried pickles as an appetizer and two different flatbreads. The pickles were phenomenal—probably the best deep-fried pickles I’ve ever had. They’re served as spears, the breading is super crunchy, and the pickles stayed really crisp. The ranch that comes with them is perfect.
For flatbreads, one was a hot-honey style and the other had pepperoni and hot peppers. Both were absolutely delicious. Also, they’re way bigger than you expect—one flatbread could easily serve two people.
Lastly, the happy hour prices were amazing. Highly recommend. We noticed a back patio, but the weather wasn’t cooperating, so I’m excited to come back in the summer to check it out. There was also a scotch bar (or something connected) that I definitely want to try next time too.
Long story long: we’ll 100% be back. Great time and definitely recommended.

Tried this place back on August 13th. After checking my bank account to the receipt, Iron Ranger overcharged my card. On August 29th, I called and requested a refund. No action from Iron Ranger. On September 3rd, I called and requested a refund. No action from Iron Ranger. On September 19, I called a third time to request a refund. No action from Iron Ranger. All calls/messages were directed to manager Amanda. Finally, on September 23rd, received a call from Tom who stated a check would be mailed out. I received a check which was not signed and I could do nothing with it. Mailed the check back asking for someone to sign it and mail back to me. I have never received the signed check back for the theft from my bank account. I gave Iron Ranger multiple attempts to correct this prior to posting this review.

Ryan, Matt, Sierra, and Lizzy were absolutely wonderful. Great food, great service, couldn’t recommend this place more! Super friendly and such a great place to stop by for some excellent food and welcoming atmosphere. Also, I highly suggested hosting your next event here, big or small. Very accommodating all around. Thank you Iron Ranger!!

Iron Ranger was incredible. Amazing drinks and food! I had the porketta sandwich and my wife had the pasty. We would describe it as delicious comfort food. Also, the house old fashioned was top tier. Our server, Lizzy, was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!!!

Extremely rude wait staff...took our menu when picking up dishes, we tried to place an order for dessert, she told us they were out of what we had picked. We asked to look at the menu again she REFUSED! SHE said they didn't have many desserts left. We felt very rushed and not welcome. I payed for chicken to be added to my salad and there was VERY LITTLE chicken. Will not be back!

I’ve been going for over a year. Really nice atmosphere, staff and service are top notch, tasty food, awesome patio, and the beer is always ice cold and tasty. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

My friend and I sat at the bar.
I watched the bartender pouring my beer after a new keg. All foam, I get it. She gave me a beer with four inches of foam. I said, that’s gonna be all flat. She yelled at me like I had no idea of what I was talking about.
100% flat.
I watched her pouring beer the rest of my time there. Every beer was the same - from different taps. What waste of beer and, wow, that’s what customers were drinking.
Service was horrible, really bad attitude of the staff. Food was also mediocre at best. Salad was a bowl of croutons with some hidden lettuce underneath.
I couldn’t wait to get out of there. It was creepy. Never again.
Oh, and the place was so loud it could pop your ear drums.
The atmosphere, service and patio here are great. My wife and I are vegan, so it would nice if there was one thing on their extensive menu we could eat. Maybe a Beyond Burger or better a vegetarian pasty? My wife is from the Iron Range, so it would be fun to bring her mom when she is in town. We come here only for drinks and the beautiful patio.
Prese note that there are black bean tacos on the menu that might be vegan but my wife doesn't eat black beans and that is incredibly uninspiring compared to what they do for other customers. A Beyond Meat taco would be better.

If you are celiac, beware. My husband just got glutened bad by a cheeseburger and chips. We asked specifically for a gluten free bun and even asked again when the food came because it was a different person than the original waitress. They weren’t sure so brought it to the kitchen. I reminded them they couldn’t just change out the bun, but they came back and assured us it was gluten free. He is sick as a dog 2 hours later. Also maybe have some lights in your bathroom.
