Iron Hill offers an ambitious range of its own brewed beer, rotating entrees throughout the year for variety and a very "energetic" clientele of local residents, young and old, as well as out-of-town visitors. It's always a good idea to book a reservation, especially during the summer Hersheypark season. The servers are attentive and fun, making the dining experience an all-around home run. If there's a downside, it's the noise level, which makes conversation a challenge.
Iron Hill's food and service are consistently good and prices are decent. Our server was very observant and helpful. What we did not like was the fact that samples.of beer were placed on the table without asking if we wanted them. (Apparently this is required of servers.) Although it's good marketing, it is not a considerate practice because not everyone imbibes. Other than that, all good!
The food was good, but the service from the servers was terrible. They were not friendly at all. I even had one waiter give my daughter the stink eye, which he didn't realize we noticed. Was my daughter misbehaving to deserve the stink eye? No. She happened to be in his way, and he could have easily asked to move or say excuse me, but he just seemed annoyed. I get it, we all have bad days, but don't take it out on the customers.
My husband and I stopped in for lunch today after church and ordered the Black Bean Burger. We were hesitant to order it because we had never eaten one before, but we took the chance and went ahead and ordered it anyway. Wow, it was really delicious and flavorful! I loved the pickled onions on it also... They were so flavorful as well. All the ingredients together complimented the burger. We definitely will be ordering it again... If you're looking for a meatless burger choice, you should give this burger a try 😉!!
delicious food, great beer and no wait! Our server was wonderful! We will definitely be back!
You mention noise level. Noise level was bad I had a difficult time carrying on a conversation. The acoustics were bad. I am hearing impaired and adjusted my hearing aids as much as possible and still had a difficult time.
We had a great lunch. Our burgers were very good and our server was excellent! Ron, the manager of IHB, spoke with us and made sure everything was good. Another great experience at IHB!!
We were looking forward to eating here because we've eaten here multiple times months ago and enjoyed it. Our service was fine but the table they say us at was right next to the kitchen so there was constant server traffic right next to us which was fairly disruptive, and being at a high top with small children is not ideal. I understand there are different server sections you have to fill but there were a fair amount of open tables throughout the restaurant. If you have ever eaten with young children you know how often things get dropped so constantly having to get down from bar stools to pick things up was also not ideal. The food was very disappointing. The kalamari did not taste fresh, very rubbery, the chicken Caesar salad portion was small and the croutons simply tasted like stale bread, and the omg blt portion was certainly smaller than the first 4x I have ordered it. When you go out to eat and are spending close to $100 and the food falls flat it's quite a let down. We will not be back.
It took awhile to receive our drinks and meal. Spinach with Garlic arrived with the Schnitzel - the Spinach was cold and the Garlic overpowering. There was so much garlic you couldn't eat the Spinach - it was taken away but nothing was offered in its place. My husband had someone come to the table and it was like pulling teeth to get food items - lemons never came out until I asked for them twice more for the Schnitzel which is not Schnitzel - it is a breaded Pork Cutlet thick - you had to saw through it a bit. A new side of Spinach came out eventually towards the end of the meal. I asked for my gravy on the side and it arrived as asked but was a tablespoon or two - not the same amount as what covered my husband's plate (if you are paying the same price shouldn't you get the same amount?) Our servers were pleasant and personable etc but the service was very slow.
Great service and the food was awesome. We enjoyed the patio seating area. The draft beer was awesome and growlers were reasonably priced.

The Porter beer that I had was above average but not more than that. The food was good for a brew pub but the waitress and manager were not responsive to the one item we had a problem with. Not a good sign.
