I always get their meatloaf.  It's outstanding!!  They used to have it in the sandwich listing and it was on Rye bread.  That's still the way I like it.  It's really fabulous.  (A great blend of Italian sausage and ground beef, stuffed with spinach and mozzarella, served the size of a brick with mashed potatoes, veggies, and gravy.  Also great as a  sandwich)
The reason I didn't give them more than three stars is that the place is kind of run down (not just rustic, but worn out) and we don't always get the best service, depending on the waitress. Â It's not bad, but even the front door has molding that's just wasting away. Â If not for that and the service, I'd definitely pop it up to four starts.
Oh my...these peeps got a lot of nerve having some dude stand outside telling people they cannot park in the lot next to the strip of restaurants because it apparently belongs to them. Let me add by saying there were zero people eating in their restaurant. I certainly will be one of those people by never going there again. Seriously???? I wonder if they pay him to stand there since he apparently works there (I asked him). The funny thing is that he waits until you park and pass them by before telling you you can't park there (because you didn't go to their restaurant). Why don't they just have the reject do valet and save people from re-parking their cars.
Review Source:Jigga booooo!!! Not going back to this place on principle. Â Today we went over to downtown Norcross for lunch and parked in one of the lots. Â We are walking up the sidewalk trying to decide where to eat and out pops this fellow and he tells us we MUST move our car because that parking area is for Iron Horse guests only. First of all, we hadn't decided where we were going but we weren't going to be forced to eat there because we parked where we did. Â After further review there is a sign that says "Norcross Tavern Parking Only." Well, this sign is small as shit and I have parked here before and never been told to move my car if I wasn't eating at Iron Horse. Â Second, this place isn't even called the "Norcross Tavern" it's called the Iron Horse. Get a new sign and make it visible from both directions. Â It isn't even visible from the direction I pulled in from. Â Finally, how about you stand in the effing parking lot attendant. He saw us pull in but waited until we were all out of the car and almost past the restaurant to tell us to move my car. Â If he would've been standing IN the lot this could have been handled much more professionally. I could have easily rolled down my window for him and he could have asked me if we intended to eat there. I would have said probably not and he could have told me I couldn't park there. Don't wait til I have my fat ass all the way out of the car and walking past the restaurant to tell me to move it. Â
Dude, whatever. I was just annoyed that I had to drive around the block and park on the street 10 feet from where I had originally parked. Â This little side lot had virtually NO cars in it because no one eats and the Iron Horse probably because it sucks. Â
Anyway, as you can see I'm annoyed. Â My coworkers and I all decided that we will not be going to Iron Horse EVER. Boo yah! I will take my business else where....yaaaahhhh....suckas.....
My friend invited me out to the Iron Horse last night for trivia. Her usual teammates were out of town, so she invited me to tag along. I'm always up for trivia, so I figured why not?
Had they not closed off the streets for some event, parking would've been a bit easier. We still got a parking spot about a block away. It wasn't super crowded, which was nice. We could find a table easily and settle into trivia mode. She ordered the pretzels with cheese dip and I got the Jamaican Rub burger. The pretzels were good, if a bit on the salty side. My burger was also just "good". I couldn't really taste the blackening seasoning they said was on it. They were also a bit stingy on the blue cheese. The fries weren't half bad, either.
Considering it only got more crowded, service was good. Our drinks stayed full and we never had to struggle to flag someone down. It also seems to attract an older crowd, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think I'd rather be around a bunch of drunk 40-somethings than 20-somethings. I didn't partake of any of the booze, but it seemed to be flowing freely and the other patrons were heartily enjoying it.
I'll be back, probably just for trivia, as the food alone isn't enough to convince me to make a second trip. Perhaps I'll keep trying things on the menu and see what they're really good at. Oh and non-smokers beware. Smoking is allowed after 10pm and they definitely take advantage of it.
