Iron Saddle Grill & Tap House - (Near Salem, IL)

Anthony Franklin When we started out, we just wanted good food. We decided to use Google to see what looked good. Well, we were about to get a surprise. We saw the sign out front that had two specials. (Fish with two sides or shrimp) The menu choices were straightforward. Which means there is nowhere to hide. Its got to be on point. It definitely was. We started with our drinks. Then, an appetizer of fried cauliflower. They had an appetizer on the menu called "pig tails"- fried breaded pork tenderloin strips. They unfortunately were out due to their popularity. The catfish, baked beans, and fries were so delicious. The service was stellar. Even with a fairly large number of people. The bartender and waitress handled it like pros. Our drinks were on the table in less than five minutes. The service was as good as the food. The atmosphere was eclectic. Its a mix of a variety of things that seemingly work when its all put together. There are a few things that youll want to know. They cash only. The ATM charges $3.00 per transaction. The video games are for adults only and thats 21 or older. They had green lights as they were preparing for St. Patricks day.

David Pitbull Awesome place. Great food, great service! Gets a little hectic at times but they always do a fabulous job and really make you feel at home. They also have slots, darts and bingo on Thursday. So stop buy, enjoy yourself and pick your spice from mild to burning and everything between. If you’re really adventurous ask about a scorpion shot!!

Tobi West Clean store, fully stocked with everything you need for any road trip. Happy customers. Fast service. Open gas pumps. Clean bathrooms. It’s a nice travel stop after a long and empty road.

Raymond Darby Very good! The portions were quite large. I had the barbecue grilled cheese it was so good. My wife had the Philly steak it was also delicious. We had fried mushrooms as an appetizer they were so good . We will be back for sure. We also had 2 beers and a tequila sunrise, so it really was not too expensive at all.

Mark Greiner Prompt, respectful staff with regards to the dining experience. Our brunch & mimosas for my brothers wedding reception went swimmingly.
