    Schell's Snowstorm
    Bob S.

    I was in downtown Waconia and gave the Iron Tap a try for the first time. Kind of a cool spot attached to the bakery-by-day/lounge-by-night joint next door. It looks kind of small at first, but there's more seating around the corner and counter seating as well. They have a huge tap selection and I chose Schell's Snowstorm, one of Schell's seasonal brews. This one was quite good - dark and bready with a bit of a spice to it. To eat, I ordered a medium/well bacon cheeseburger and fries. The burger was cooked just right and it came with perfectly crispy, thick bacon. The burger in the pic looks small, but that's because of the absolute mountain of crispy battered fries in front of it. I should have taken another shot from another angle but I was hungry. A nice beer, a great burger, in a cool spot. What's not to love?

    Buffalo Chicken Wings

    Cool little place in downtown Waconia!! Very rustic inside which is nice. Good brews and solid food! Service was good and got wings and they were delicious and meaty! Liked that they are smoked as well! Will be back to try other things!

    Walleye Sandwich was super crispy and meaty. Great stuff!

    Next time you're out West of the Twin Cities you have got to stop in and try @irontapmn located in downtown Waconia, MN. This place is so quaint on the outside but buzzin' on the inside. Super cool vibes, excellent service and delicious food!!! They offer tons of craft beer on tap and great looking craft cocktails. I cannot wait to go back in the summer to enjoy their rooftop and patio seating areas! We started with the fried pickle rollups and they were super good. Great panko crust offered a nice crunch. I'm not a big ground mustard fan so pro tip is to order them with ranch (obvi). :) The walleye sandwich was also really good! I could have used a tad more tartar sauce on the bun but that's just me. The fish also had a delicious crunch to it and was very meaty. Once again, always get the fries w da ranch as a side. The sleeper here was the adult mac n cheese. Stacked with bbq pulled pork, poblano peppers, onions and more, this thing was killer! I always say if you see max w cavatappi noodles you know it's going to be and this was right there. The BBQ cheese sauce was super creamy and not overpowering. This dish was !!! Take a drive to visit Iron Tap out west in Waconia and you can thank me later!!

    Great food. Nice family feel. Great meatloaf. The fish and sweet potato fries, Very good. Also like the unique cheese curds. And they close at nine and they nicely still let people in at 8:45 when they were closing very impressive:) I'll be back!

    Cheese Curds
    Michele H.

    Best cheese curds I've ever had, hands down. We are from Georgia and stopped here based on Yelp reviews and pictures of the food. It was all delicious. Hubby had The Tom, which had brisket, cheese curds, and all kinds of yumminess. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich. Our server was Brendan and he did a great job with recommendations for us. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I'm admittedly extremely picky about meat. Their meat was high quality and prepared well. We will definitely come back when in the area again.

    Cheese Curds-so good but price a bit steep for amount you get!

    This place is right on Main Street on Waconia and it makes for a cutely decorated place that has a bakery attached. I would likely give it a 3.5/5 in terms of ratings. Great drink selection, good sized menu, and a lot of different options. My sister is a vegetarian and they didn't have too many meatless options in terms of the sandwiches, however they did offer a meatless alternative for the the burgers. We ended up splitting 4 different appetizers across my sister, my mom, and I. We got the cheese curds, the warm pretzel, the bruschetta, and the crab artichoke dip. Prices were slightly steeper for the amount of food we were given. For example, the cheese curds were absolutely delicious, but for $12.50 we didn't get many of these. Would likely still order them, but definitely would've been happier with a larger amount. The warm pretzel was really good and came with a mustard and a really good Gouda cheese sauce. The honey goat cheese bruschetta was fresh and was a good bite sized to share (it would be hard to share with more than 3 people so make sure you plan accordingly). The crab artichoke dip was fine but for $15 I would probably skip it as it wasn't anything earth shattering. Overall if I lived closer to the Waconia area I would be willing to stop in again especially for a few apps and the wide drink selection.

    Their Cinco de Mayo Special!
    Elizabeth B.

    Outstanding. Love this place. It checks ALL the boxes. Great beer selection, delicious food, the kids menu doesn't suck, and the bakery's big, beautiful cupcakes and giant chocolate truffles are unreal. So far, each meal has been sensational; the burger, the Cinco de Mayo tacos, and watermelon feta salad with added grilled salmon... consistently wonderful. Did I mention my kids are the pickiest eaters on earth and love the food here?! They deserve SIX stars. And the staff is terrific. We have made a reservation each month for the past three months now and love the screen porch.

    We came and it was a 30 min wait at 4:15 on a Sat which was a surprise. We asked about going to the lounge to wait but honestly we only wanted cheese curds (as they are great here) and beer, but the lounge didn't serve that app it only has around 5 apps. :( So we decide to sit at the bar as there actually was room, which I was surprised. The bartender was very nice. We were able to get flights of beer, the flights of wine are bartender's choice from the lounge. And our delicious yummy cheese curds. They are so creamy and yummy just awesome.

    Small pour for 9.00!

    Schram's is quite an experience! Take the time to come and walk around, and enjoy the atmosphere…read more The food and service is quite amazing!

    This is mostly a review for the restaurant bonfire and barrel and our service. I tried one glass of…read morewine and that was good enough. We came in a Friday night, excited to try a new place that seemed to have a good menu. I wish we would have read some food reviews first. We asked to order an app and have our food come out later. We got the pretzel bites which seemed like something bought at Costco and warmed up. After those were set down our food came out about 2 minutes later. My wife got the pizza and I've never seen her not enjoy a wood fire pizza. I got the gnocchi which had a hard crust and seemed VERY overdone. I sat at the table googling if gnocchi should taste like that, maybe I'm the wrong one for thinking that it's always supposed to be really soft. Either way, I couldn't eat it. It was hard as a rock. Our server came and checked on us once saying "I'm just awkwardly checking on you" which wasn't really a check in? The next time she came all she said was "are you getting full?" never giving the opportunity to ask how things were, offer another glass of wine, or give us a chance to ask questions. When she asked if I wanted a box for my meal I declined--as someone who worked as a server for 10 years you should realize when someone only takes one bite of a dish and ask them if everything was ok. She never did. We were super disappointed to say the least.
