“Delicious and friendly atmosphere“

“semi regular.. love the 2 eggs and scrapple.. staff are always friendly...“

“I've never had a bigger Margarita than here!! I swear it was equivalent to 3 drinks!!! The food and service were terrific!!!“

“Found this little restaurant while we were looking at RV's in Ashland and boy we weren't disappointed. Our RV rep recommended it and the food was excellent. Service was very good as well. We would definitely stop by and eat here again the next time we are in the Richmond area.“

“I was very disappointed with the French toast. It was rubbery and couldn't even absorb any syrup. I have had many meals at Cracker Barrel in various cities and always had a good experience and meal. This time meal was very less than desirable.“

“Great food, drinks and service. A huge shout out to Ann S., one of the most personable and efficient servers you could ask for. And Joshua is such a great manager who interacts with his patrons and keeps everyone smiling. If you don't check this place out you're missing a gem.“

“This was my first time at Keggers. It won't be my last. The staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is up beat and casual. They have a nice selection of beers, but could use a dark option. The food was outstanding. Every thing I tried was delicious. So much so that I ate every single bit. Even the seasoning on the side of fries was just right. I would happily order everything I had again. Unfortunately one of the appetizers, the Ahi Tuna Bits, was a seasonal choice, and as it turned yesterday was the last day it was available for the season. I guess it is a great reason to go back next summer. I was told that the fall options are equally delicious, so I will probably be back sooner than next summer. I was told they have love music at times, but not last night.“

“Great food, great service. Staff well trained.“

“Delicious! Server was so sweet and the restaurant is adorable. This place is definitely what the reviews claim it to be!“

“Best thai food we've had in a while. I had Pad Woon Sen - very fresh vegetables and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The walls are covered in coloring sheets and pictures of happy customers. It's clear they love serving people and I felt that care in the service we received. What a nice discovery and delicious meal after a day of theme park food at Kings Dominion.“

“Lunch at Suzanne’s is always a must when visiting Ashland. Wonderful food, great desserts.“

“I first found Iron Horse while looking for a good steak and burger spot near Kings Dominion. The reasonable prices and strong ratings convinced us to give it a try, and we enjoyed the experience enough to come back for a second visit—this time with my husband and kids during another trip to King’s Dominion.

On our first visit, the weather was perfect, so we sat outside. I ordered a grilled ribeye to share with my little son and a cheeseburger for my daughter, along with a market salad with goat cheese. Everything was delicious, and my kids kept asking for more of my steak and mashed potatoes! We also got to see the trains passing by, which added a fun and unexpected element to the dining experience.

Our second visit gave us another chance to try more of the menu. We ordered the beet salad, ribeye, scallops, and a beer. The beet salad was excellent—beets and arugula with goat cheese and candied walnuts made such a great combination that even my kids kept asking for bites.

We shared the ribeye again, and I really appreciated that it was served on two plates so the kids could easily share the steak, beans, and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked beautifully. Honestly, I was tempted to steal some of their food!

The scallop dish was rich and buttery, with a wonderfully ocean-like flavor, but a bit salty. I especially enjoyed the cauliflower risotto underneath the cooked spinach. The scallops and spinach alone might have felt a little too rich, but the cauliflower risotto added a lighter element that balanced the dish really well.

For dessert, we had the raspberry cheesecake, which had a comforting, homemade feel to it. We also ordered the Banana Foster, thinking it would be another sweet dessert, only to discover that it was actually a drink—and a very strong one! Definitely worth knowing before ordering.

One thing that stood out across in the first visit was the service. Our server was warm, thoughtful, and attentive. On our first visit, she even whispered when asking whether we wanted drinks or dessert for the kids, joking that as a parent herself, she knew those questions could sometimes create unnecessary drama. It was such a small but thoughtful gesture that I still remember it.

And there was another memorable moment from our first visit: I accidentally left my purse at the restaurant while heading to Target, after leaving my luggage at home. The staff quickly returned it to me, which was incredibly kind and reassuring. It became one of those funny little travel mishaps that we now get to share as a story.

On our second visit, the restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday night, with many tables filled. To me, that was a great sign of a restaurant that is genuinely loved by the locals, even on a weekday. Despite being busy, our server did her best to take care of everyone. Our son vomited and we were provided with a lot of napkins to clean up on our own. We understand that the restaurant was too busy to help out.

After two visits, Iron Horse has definitely earned a spot on our list of places to return to when we’re in the Kings Dominion area. Great food, reasonable prices, attentive service, and—most importantly—a genuinely kind team.“

“Highly recommend the Chicken Alfredo, it was amazing! Customer service is on point :)“

“Marcus and his sports bar are awesome! The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly, and Marcus really goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. The drinks were great, the food was tasty, and it’s a perfect spot to watch games with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Our server Rachel was great. Very personable and checked on us frequently to make sure everything was good. I'm giving it 3 stars in atmosphere because the fish aquarium has been out of service for over a year. ☹ The aquarium is what really makes the atmosphere 10 stars. I hope it is operational soon.“

“Great food, nice portions!“

“The service was excellent. The manager came over and asked if we needed anything and was extremely friendly. The burger was so good I went up and ordered a second one. Very surprised to see such a good restaurant in an old truck stop. Pleasantly surprised.“
