If you are planning on eating here I would strongly suggest placing reservations. We did not have…read morereservations but were able to get on the list and waited about 30-40 minutes. There isn't much for seating while you are waiting but you can go grab a drink at the bar while you wait. We dined in during their Jingle Bar and the atmosphere was very festive for the Holiday Season. We would strongly suggest going during then if you are in town during the event just to experience the atmosphere. Our food was good and every bite was delicious. Our only complaint was we were seated relatively close to the live singer (they were very good) so we couldn't have a conversation without yelling, but we were also sitting in the "bar" side of the restaurant so I don't think it would have mattered.

I have been meaning to write a review for this place for quite some time... here is the thing, they…read morecan be very hit or miss. We went this past Monday and were pleasantly surprised with the food! The sausage and pepper flatbread is one of the better things I have ever had there. We have, in the past, had food that was not good .... we keep coming back because we love the location on the lake and for the most part the service is usually good! If the food was more consistent, I could see us coming here more regularly! It just so fun in the summer with the patio... just need consistency with the cost of the meal. This past visit was a treat though.

Went to Iron Tap with friends after going to J Carver. Ordered the burger. Girlfriend had the…read morechicken cavatapi, and the pretzel and a soup. The burger was really nice. Nice meaty flavor and the bun held up well. The pretzel I thought was a little small, but it tasted ok. Girlfriend appreciated the pasta dish as well. They've got an excellent beer list as well with beers from a variety of places and variety of styles. I don't know Waconia that well, but assume their beer list is one of the best. I wouldn't drive to Waconia just for the food, because it is quite far, but I would happily eat the food again and throw down a couple of beers.

The blue cheese dressing on the salad was great! We liked the pulled pork sandwich however it kind of lacked flavor. It needed more salt or something. We asked for a side of BBQ sauce to "kick it up a notch" but the sauce was lacking too. The sweet potato fries were really good. All in all, we would eat here again.

It's a relatively small space and you can call to make reservations which is recommended as they are always pretty busy! My breakfast sandwich was really really good but the potato's were honestly incredible. The crisp they got on the outside while remaining soft on the inside was perfect! The farro salad was also so so so tasty. I highly recommend. It was the perfect mix of textures and flavors. Don't miss this spot if passing through the area!

Thankfully we arrived right in front of a rush and only waited 5 minutes before being escorted upstairs to a fairly isolated table. The ambience is old-school-diner and the service is back-to-basics. No overwhelming friendliness or chatty interchanges. They all just keep moving, working and trying to keep up. It's not a big restaurant, even with the upstairs seating -- maybe 25-30 patrons per level and I counted at least 9 employees. That's a high ratio. That said, service was slow. We waited longer than I would have expected to have our order taken (10+ minutes), but that's really my only gripe. It's not enough to lose a star though -- and like I said, it's all worth the wait. The food is incredible. That's why you are here. The serving sizes are generous. The food comes out hot. And the flavors are excellent. I enjoyed a corned beef and hash -- substituting the country potatoes for crispy hashbrowns, topped with scrambled eggs and my date enjoyed a kitchen sink omelette with hashbrowns. We both LOVED our choices and I'll just highlight -- the corned beef is slow cooked (8 hours) and chunky. It's incredible. We talked about how we needed to bring our family and friends to the little gem of a diner.

The burrito came out cut in half and resembled a chicken wrap sandwich. Flavorless and certain pieces of the chicken had hard/rubbery fragments in it. Missing items in the burrito which were listed on the menu. We each ate about 5 bites and decided we couldn't eat anymore. Resolution: we didn't ask for anything; just communicated that it wasn't a burrito and wasn't very good. The almost full plates probably gave that away as well. The server brought (2) drink tickets for a future visit. Recommendation: if you're going to have a section on your menu highlighting Mexican Cuisine. Someone needs to do a taste test on these items.

My MIL is in a wheelchair so it was wonderful that they had a single accessible bathroom. We ordered the blueberry pancakes. The menu said $14. We didn't realize it while there, we were charged $16 with extra for blueberries so we missed something on the menu apparently. That price is outrageous for pancakes. We had the strawberry cream cheese French toast. Great flavor. It came fairly cold unfortunately. Would totally get again though. We also had the Smokin Hash w/ Brisket. Big portion. Flavorful. Lots of smoke in it. Not much queso at all, if any. Next door the same owner also owns a cool looking BBQ joint that we can't wait to try. I realize this is only a 3 star, but the menu is fabulous, location is great and service was wonderful.

Serving brunch 4 days a week in the old Buddy Boy building…read more We stopped in on a Thursday morning and were seated at the breakfast bar. I enjoyed the clean aesthetic they did to the building while keeping the refurbished seating from before. The staff was all kind of running around and didn't seem to communicate well, often food was sitting in the window and as a prior server, all I could think was "it's going to die". It seems they would benefit from having a FOH lead or hostess who also did bussing and other support staff duties. We ordered the Breakfast Burrito w/ brisket and the House Breakfast w/ brisket. The burrito lacked flavor and essentially was a giant burrito loaded with potatoes, a lil' egg and some chopped up brisket. For the house breakfast, the hashbrowns were crispy with perfectly basted eggs. Unfortunately, the brisket was some of the worst we've had and that was such a letdown since they are affiliated with Buddy Boy, and we've had amazing food from them in the past. The syrup for the pancake was the star of the meal. It was like a chocolate- caramel syrup that I could have dreamed up about several dishes for.
