    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!

    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.

    Perfect spot for a first date. The bartender was clearly handling a lot by herself and still was attentive and kind. Will be back!

    From the time we walked in we were acknowledged and greeted, quickly sat with a fresh bottle of cool water and then greeted by our waitress who happened to be our bartender. Drinks were 10/10, almost everything we ordered was 10/10 and I will be returning!
