   We’ve eaten here 5 times over 3-4 months Each time excellent. Yesterday, terrible! Menu overhauled. Excellent dishes-gone. ordered fried calamari & queso w/ chips. chips & calamari were so salty (inedible) let waitress know-response was:ok do you want me to have the chef make a new batch? the calamari, I’ll have to speak to my mngr thats more tricky!returns 10 mins later said chips are pre-salted prior to frying(huh?!) she’ll make up pita chips & calamari.w/ no salt(we just want normal salt)10 more mins apps come out. W/in 30 sec’s meals arrive w/zero room to place anything. what’s the point of apps now! I ordered the schnitzel delish in dec.) this time Terrible-pork was dry, asked for steak knife( butter knife wouldn’t cut ) mashed pots 1/2 size as before & dry as the pork. got maybe a tbls & 1/2 of very oily odd tasting spinach. gravy-consistency of the pots. husband & 1 son ordered full salads-mainly lettuce/mediocre at best. other son ordered crab cake sammy-eaten in under 3 mins-so small.husband got eggplant burrata,just okay- portion was all sauce & the tiniest amt of eggplant w/ a thin slice of burrata on top. We eaten here & 💓’d it- like real home cooking & consistent. This time the opposite. I even made res for a booth-got a hightop (place was empty) Mentioned son’s bday in res. No one ever acknowledged it.we paid $150+for a mostly inedible meal that wasn’t as menu stated,took home all apps cuz they came so late & had terrible food for main dishes. Also, every time we go there’s always a waiter in training. Maybe high turn over(?)Seeing only 1 person in the kitchen, wouldn’t be surprised. Never saw a mngr- normally you see her. Very disappointed! Not sure we will go back. This was supposed to be a wonderful birthday meal. It left us hungry, sad & with $150 less in our pockets. Previously the bucatini w/shrimp, burgers, fish&chips,schnitzel were so yummy.this experience left us so disappointed & sad. Stop overhauling menus & be consistent!

   We celebrated here for my mother's birthday and it was great. We made reservations a few days out and had to add a few people to our party and they did it without hesitation. We are king of the hill members and repeat customers. We enjoyed our lunch and will be back!

   This place holds its own- still not impressed with atmosphere but fitting for a “brewery”. Food is good. Server today was friendly and engaging. Kids menu overpriced but lots of options. Not being too picky but our booth table was too high and seat too low- it was almost like your chin on the table! All things said, we will make this a Sunday brunch option.

   Overall, great experience. Reservation was honored and we had a booth as opposed to a high top. Portion sizes were decent but received small portion of french fries with sandwich. Excellent service.

   The burgers were excellent-the pretzel appetizer was absolutely delicious- perfect place to have appetizers and watch a game

   Sunday brunch for two was nice. Our first time and it was enjoyable with good food and adequate but unimpressive atmosphere. Wasn’t looking for warm and cozy but this was definitely not that. Actually taking grandchildren back there in 30 minutes for another Sunday brunch and I will submit a followup review

   Good food and larger than normal portions. Lots of menu options and non-alcohol options too.

    The food and beverages were very tasty. However, it takes an extended amount of time to get it to the table. The hostess, wait staff, and brew master(personal) were professional and attentive to our needs. If the time from ordering to food delivery decreased, Iron Hill would be an excellent place to eat.
