    Mexican style brunch. Not too crowded. Noise level was pretty good - we could talk. Food was good and the service was great. I have never been to IH during the evening, but it looks like it could be fun. It has a nice vibe, being in a beautiful old building next to the RO Theater

    The food was very good, but the service was a little slow. It wasn't bad service, but we had somewhere to be after and I felt like I spent a lot of time trying to get our server's attention so we could get the ball rolling. Overall it was a good experience, but prepare to spend a bit of time there.

    Six friends had brunch prior to the Golden girls show and we couldn’t have asked for a better time. Ricardo was our waiter, and with the help of other staff they couldn’t have been any nicer to us. The food was delicious, the atmosphere wonderful, a great experience!

    We have been to Iron Horse a few times. Chips and salsa along with the queso was good. We ordered the crunchy beef tacos. The taco shells were fried way too long. Should have sent them back but had somewhere to be.

    Server was rude. Original margarita I ordered was so salty I sent it back. Server said it was because of the tequila (Hornitos) that was used... no way I've never had that issue before. Food was just OK. Wouldn't go back.

    Food was good. Our server only visited to take our order and bring the bill. Was told it wasn’t possible to do no onions on wet burrito without doing no peppers. The onions were by themselves on top… not sure how that works. Had water dripping from ceiling on table.

    This was the weirdest brunch. I called to request outdoor seating. The hostess said it was only first come first serve. We were the only table there for brunch. Server wasn’t really serving. Had to get up to ask for condiments. Great food tho

    Overall - The restaurant was clean and the food was okay. We were very off put by the amount of times we were asked “when are you planning on leaving” by our server. We had been there not even 45 minutes & our server was trying to rush us out because they had other reservations. Multiple staff members kept coming over & made it apparent they wanted to rush us out. We stayed at most an hour & 15 minutes. We will not be going back or recommending.
