Bartender is far too bland of a description for the artisans at the Ironhorse Kitchen & Bar. These wizards of libation hand craft each cocktail like their very lives depended on the quality and presentation of it! Their deft handling of the tools of the trade assure near surgical accuracy of their ingredients as each adds their own signature flair. One can only watch with awe at the fervor and zealotry that goes into ensuring perfection. These guys mix drinks with the same care a mother has for her newborn baby! You know in the first sip that you're drinking a liquid work of art! While they're happy to make you the absolute best of your trusty standby drink, you'll do your palette a favor by stepping out of your comfort zone and letting them create something truly miraculous. I tried The Switchman Old Fashioned and it was absolutely spectacular! read more

I called the restaurant to inquire how soon a table of 4 could be seated around 5:15 pm on a Saturday evening. I was told there was no wait, so great! We headed to the restaurant and got seated immediately. My husband and I ordered drinks, which for me included a dirty martini with extra olives. The drink was tasty and the extra olives were very welcome. The appetizers were very tasty. Although it was the first time I had bruschetta and the bruschetta was not on the bread when we got it or finely chopped. I must say though it has very good flavor. The poutine fries were a delight and seasoned well! The dinners were a bit of a let down for all of us. My son ordered his burger medium rare and it came well done. My habanero honey chicken sandwich was underwhelming. The chicken was dry and the honey habanero sauce had no "wow" flavor. I would say the atmosphere of the restaurant itself was nice. We might come back for an appetizer and drink but, we will not be ordering dinner. For the price compared to quality, it just was not worth it, sad to say. read more

Clearly, this is my annual holiday visit. I love the way the embrace the season with decor & special drink menus, WITHOUT a $200 reservation slot required. (Or time limit, for that matter.) This year, the addition of the Grinch Service Night was FABULOUS! What I'd really like to see added would be some extra special seasonal food menu items... (& some additional holidays embraced... like, ohhhh. HALLOWEEN- hint, hint) The pricing is more reasonable than pop-ups with a quality selection and they do embrace the special drinkware. A win, overall! read more

After trying and failing to come up with a New Year plan, headed here for their Xmas themed Holiday Bar. They were out of a few items, 2 of which we tried to order, before finally asking what all they didn't have. I opted for the pork chop with blueberry balsamic and it was really good. I tried 2 of the special Xmas drinks and tasted the 2 my wife had. All of them were good. I'll probably stop in closer to Xmas for 2025 & embrace the spirit! read more

While in Minot for business, my beautiful wife and I had lunch at Iron Horse Kitchen and Bar. The dining area was spacious and architecturally designed to highlight the features of this historic building in the downtown district. Service was friendly and quick. Cocktails were tasty and very well made. I had the bacon cheeseburger which was delicious and my beautiful enjoyed the steak salad with a house made vinaigrette. Our server recommended an espresso kiosk in town that we really liked. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone interested in a great meal while visiting the historic downtown district. read more

I came to Minot with Dr. Chewy (she specializes in Oxyology) because she had a grooming session at Petco. My husband however failed to tell me I needed a MD/vet note validating Dr. Chewy is in good health because she is over 10 years old. And we got turned away at Petco. How rude!!! The $200 grocery money he gave me all of a sudden turned into Ulta and food money because A-A-Ron (not my husband's name btw) messed up. We went to Ironhorse Kitchen and unfortunately Dr. Chewy could not come in, even though she invented oxygen. Once I walked in, I was glad made the decision to come here because the vibe was fresh, incredible lighting, gastro'y, and lively. I started with a drink called "Trust Us" where you tell the server what flavor and liquor you like and the bartender improvises your drink. I like citrus and mangos and vodka, it was soooo refreshing! For the app, it was fried pickles with jalapeño ranch, HIGHLY recommend. The entree was Steak Frites with chimichurri sauce. Now I NOT ever had chimichurri other than watching it on a Gordon Ramsey show. And Oh Em Gee! It may have looked odd because of the color but it complemented the steak so well! *Side note, I ordered the steak medium and it was the best medium. From now on I'm ordering chimichurri with my steak. I had incredible service, Sidney, my server was so happy and cool and that made such a difference. Recommend: The Trust Us cocktail, Fried Pickles with jalapeño ranch, and Steak Frites. read more

I've been in Minot for a week for work and I've tried a handful of awesome restaurants in the awesome downtown, but I gotta say, this one takes the (cheese)cake. The menu is wonderfully curated with great options to choose from. I ordered the Steak Frites with a side of the chefs vegetables (fresh beans) and it was so delicious and reasonably priced. I was so full by the end of the meal but ordered the cheesecake to go - homemade raspberry white chocolate. Holy yum. Our service was great thanks to the incredibly charming bartender/waiter. I definitely plan to stop here again before we leave Minot! read more

Great gastropub on the heart of the old downtown. Excellent addition to the community. Serving staff was cheerful and outgoing. Answered our questions and made us feel welcome. Food is a bit upscale from the typical restaurants in the area. Had the chimichurri beef and fries with the house old fashioned. Both were made to perfection. I will be back. read more

Waaayyyy too expensive for what it is. Blandest prime rib I've ever had! Atmosphere wasn't bad

Came here on date night and can I just say that this place is amazing! Their fried steak bites is delicious and the burgers were amazing, would definitely come back here for date nights. The service was also amazing can't beat that! The scenery was nice as well. read more

No hesitation in giving this Gastro Pub 5 stars! Went with colleagues for dinner based on mostly complimentary Google reviews. Did not disappoint. The restaurant is tastefully and minimalistic ally designed with a large bar on one side. We were promptly seated and attended to by Ryan, the bartender. He was friendly, professional and easy/fun to converse with! Service was fantastic. We ordered Steak Bites, Caprese Skewers, and Fries Flight (a heavenly tray loaded with Waffle Fries, Regular Hand Cut Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, and Tator Tots) as appetizers, followed by Build Your Own Burgers (akin to Bacon Cheeseburger, and Jalapeño Lovers Burger with Roasted Corn on the side - the Prairie Sky Breads jalapeño cheddar bun was divine, as was the Muenster Cheese; the bun is prepared at the bakery across the street), and Honey Habanero Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Drinks consisted of Stella Rosa Moscato D'Asti (peach, apricot, honey, from the Riboli Family Estates, Piedmont, Italy 2019), Honoro Vera Garnacha (raspberry, currant, juicy cherry, spice, from Bodegas Ateca, Calatayud, Spain, 2019), and Chipper - Fargo Brewing IPA. A memorable meal overall, not just for the elevated food and drinks, but also for the exceptional service! Prices were extremely reasonable, given current inflationary times. Glad we visited; plan to return! read more

First time to visit, this place was very good! We had the jalapeño lovers burger, my husband couldn't stop raving about it! He said the jalapeños were candied so they didn't have all the heat but lots of flavor. He also loved the jalapeño ranch! So much so that we got some extra to take home. I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. It was perfect. It wasn't drenched in buffalo sauce. The chicken breading was light and so good. The sweet potato fries were to die for!! Ordered the kids cheeseburger with waffle fries... our son cleared his plate! Highly recommend this place for sure!! read more

We came in late, like within a half hour of closing time. Unfortunate, when we checked online, it said closing time was 11pm but didn't show the kitchen closing time was 10pm. We were road weary and desperate for a bite to eat. The staff not only greeted us warmly BUT after a beat, offered to make us some food! We were SO GRATEFUL! Service was 10/10. Ambiance was 10/10. Food was 10/10. Thank you! read more

What a great place to visit when in Minot! I am in Minot on a work trip and was looking for local restaurants to try, and stopped here because of good reviews and recommendations by locals. I enjoyed the variety of items on the menu, and went two nights during my week here because of that. The staff is very friendly and greeted me immediately, even remembering me the second time I went back this week. They have great local options on tap, and remembered what I had the first night and gave me a recommendation for a different IPA to try. The first night the steak was good, though cooked a little bit more than I ordered, and the broccoli was a bit salty for my preference. My second visit I ordered the salmon, which was cooked well and very tasty. I sat at the bar and was able to watch sports on the tvs there, so I cannot speak to how noise was in the dining room, but I did not notice the loudness that others described in their reviews. I thought the space was nice, and the bar comfortable. I would definitely return my next time in Minot! read more

I love Iron Horse! It's a great addition to the downtown scene and hits the spot. The only thing is - i suggest you go here when craving hearty, meaty food. It doesn't appeal to the lighter sided meal folk. We have had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich, nachos (get them for your main course), the burger with rice and egg on top - and more. You can have a cold beer and a filling, extremely great meal. They are always welcoming to the kiddos and have good food options as well as kid's cups. Bring a jacket if you are sensitive to A/C. read more

Complaint 1) I ordered a burger and cut it in half. I ate half of the half and realized there was a hair on my plate. Complaint 2) We had to remind the server we hadn't received our drinks. Gave this place a 2 star rating due to the fact 1 of the managers refunded the price of the burger. We definitely will not be returning. read more

Food was terrible the service was calling me a idiot behind my back because I couldn't say jalapeño

Pretty awesome vibe. Solid drinks. Great service. Fantastic food. I came in early because the people I'm with are always late. Chat with a few people of the staff. All friendly and full of personality. They pushed some tables together for my friends who though they had a plus one. Haha read more

When my local friend told me this place had a potato flight I had to try it! Can confirm - it's a great idea. I enjoyed the dipping sauces as well. I also got the mac and cheese and a side of green beans - all delicious. This is a really solid option for lunch or dinner. read more

It's mostly cheap frozen french fries cooked in dangerous seed oil canola oils. Not really a good atmosphere either. Very stark and loud.

This is my favorite restaurant in Minot. Everything always tastes so fresh! I recommend the nachos. They are amazing! They offer different salsas for them the habanero one is awesome. I love the black bean patty here(veggie wrap), salmon, and all the burgers are great. They make the strawberry puree for mojitos, super good and service is always amazing here. read more

Me and my husband stopped here for lunch because like any true American we love burgers! Anyway, the food was sooo good!! Best burgers in town in my opinion.

Our server was very friendly and the food came out quick! read more

this is a insanely excessively unnecessarily LOUD environment. I mean our heads hurt sitting and waiting for anyone to come and acknowledge us. you cannot relax here. trying to talk to my husband was pointless. lots of people standing around. after 10 minutes we left. no one ever showed up to say hello. the music they were playing was so loud you couldn't even make out what was playing. never returning. read more

Went here a little late after my bf got off work; had a delicious meal and some excellent drinks. I only have two notes: tbe honey glaze on my chicken sandwich was very good, but as I am an incurably messy eater, I'd love to have had some wet naps on the side to help me out. I know that's not the norm, but it could be a nice touch. Also I'd like to be offered a side like fries or a salad -- not a huge deal and it was a great sandwich on its own, but I'd pay a little more for a side of potato salad or slaw with my sandwich. It may have been available but I didn't think to look for it, so could have been a good upsell. Service was lovely and friendly, will definitely be back :) read more

Honestly food is good and service is good when you are with a big group drinking. We were just a couple wanting a nice quiet dinner and got seated between two of the most obnoxious noisy loud tables that the staff devoted all of their attention to. We had to wait 20 minutes looking around waiting for someone to bring us a check and never once got offered a refill of water until they finally came to bring check. Not worth the money or the time read more

Food was soooo good. Wide variety of options. We also had great service. Highly recommend!

VERY STRONG just like the name sake that help tame the west and help fulfill Manifest Destiny! Visiting Minot on business quite often I have tried every restaurant in town (not including frozen pizzas that some bars sell ) All three of my visits to Iron horse I ordered something different. The only weak link so far has been the Chili. Now granted as an Aficionado my standards are very lofty in this category but they could use a change in the recipe. They actual cook the burgers to the correct temperature and the buns are OUTSTANDING. Pricing is fair service has been friendly not smothering. The Bar area is clean, well spaced out, and doesn't feel like a sports bar. Conclusion Iron Horse would make it in Vail or Scottsdale. Manifest Destiny! read more

Delicious food and a nice location....................Love the decor and our waitress was amusing without being rude, which was nice. We stopped in for a business lunch and were impressed with how clean the interior was. Not too far from the main streets in the city. read more

One of the best places to eat in Minot. Great food/service and a really nice atmosphere. Try the Train wreck nachos and thank me later.

Service and food were great! Love the atmosphere. On tap beer selection and burgers were all delicious!

Their food is terrific although their menu is slightly short. Would definitely recommend trying!

Good selection of local drafts. Honey habanero chicken sandwich was awesome. It was most definitely hot and spicy!
