We came in almost a month ago, just after they re-opened the food service. This was our one and only time to visit the Old Iron Post. It was such a major disappointment! I had been so eager to try the newest restaurant, and followed all the articles from the paper to FB. I was thinking the place would be reminiscent of some cool places with local brews around DFW. Wrong. The major dilemma was the food. It was disgusting to put it mildly. We ordered a couple appetizers first, then 15 mins later we ordered the pork sandwich and boneless wings. Everything came out at once. That's the first problem. My honey-sriracha boneless wings were almost dry there was so little sauce. Let me back up, three of the eight appeared to have something glossy on them, but lacked total flavor sans the black pepper in the wings' breading. And the wings were dry on the inside too, as in fresh from the freezer section straight to the oven dryness, not the fryer. Second, caramelized potatoes. What the what?!?! They were so bad my husband discreetly used his napkin to spit out. I have never seen him do that in a restaurant. These are your basic potatoes that were similar to homestyle hashbrowns but then covered in so much table sugar most of it was not caramelized. So very wrong. Third, the reason my husband opted for the potatoes was because he tried to order the mac 'n cheese, but our waitress told us that the cook in the kitchen does a terrible job on the dish and we shouldn't order it till the restaurant fixes the dish. Seriously. The waitress said she felt we had better odds with the sugar potatoes than mac'n cheese. Wow. Fourth and lastly, this place is really no different from all the other bar/grills around, except the food here is horrible. Nothing spectacular on the menu even if they did make it right. From the amount of effort that was put into the remodel, I would have thought a fine dining establishment was about to show up in Texoma, FINALLY. Or maybe a great steakhouse. No such deal, and that's such a shame. We really hoped to enjoy the Old Iron Post. read more

First time visit this afternoon for lunch. The atmosphere is nice, but service is slow. After the hostess sat us we were not greeted by a waiter for a good 5-10 minutes. The hostess had to come back over and take our drink order. Possible that this is not normal, and I can overlook it. We had the chips and queso which were really good, but it took so long for them to come out and once we got them, our food was at our table three minutes later. I had a jalapeño cream cheese burger and regular fries. It was good. Maybe a little too much cream cheese, but still tasty. The fries were delicious. My mom however had the chicken fried steak and it was like they didn't season it at all. It was only edible because of the gravy. If the food was top notch and outstanding I could overlook the slow service and prices, but unfortunately the food is lacking. Overall: it's not bad, but it's not great. read more

Ate here last night. If I could give zero stars I would. This was some of the worst food I've had at a restaurant. I ordered the potato soup, which was highly recommended by our server. It was completely cold and like glue. I sent it back and didn't ask for a replacement. We shared the pretzel with queso. Same thing. The queso was cold and thick. We will never come back here. read more

We've never had a poor experience here, staff is great, food is great! They get busy!

We had a great time! We were a party of 10 and our server Jamie did a great job. The place was noisy but our group just made it more noisy. We came to celebrate my son's 40th birthday. I was delighted that they had sourdough rolls because of some wheat issues I have, but I am able to eat sourdough without a reaction. I had the Philly Cheesesteak with a substitution of Swiss cheese rather than Texas queso, and sweet potato fries. Both were delicious! The price was great and the portion was just right. I also enjoyed a Dublin Root Beer which was very good. The rest of our party enjoyed their food as well. One of my granddaughters gave me a taste of her Mac & Cheese which was as good for an adult palate as it was for her 7 year old palate. The kids enjoyed hamburgers and boneless chicken wings. Two of our picky eaters just gobbled up their food. Guess it helps not to let them snack too much. My youngest grandson likes his food spicy but found the sriracha chicken wings a little on the hot side for him. He was insistent upon ordering all of his chicken wings sriracha but wise daddy convinced him if he got half and half he would at least have some he could eat if he found them too spicy. Well guess what, one bite and he was grabbing for his drink! LOL! But fortunately my daughter suggested he take one bite of the garlic wings and one of the sriracha and that seemed to cool it down for him. This kid is 8 and he's eating stuff I wouldn't even touch into my twenties. But don't try and feed him green veggies, you will get a big icky yuck from him. My youngest granddaughter who barely eats enough to keep a bird alive ate most of her fried cheese which pleased her Mom and of course when she does eat we all cheered. This was the perfect place for our big noisy group. The place was pretty empty for a Saturday night, but then right after Thanksgiving I think many places might have been like that. The staff was very nice and helpful, they set up a table for the 10 of us in a short time and were very efficient. The only thing that could have been better is they couldn't find their drink menu. Would have been nice to see their drinks and prices before ordering. read more

Today their were six of us jurors, eating lunch together & paid with separate checks. We were on a crunch time to get back to the courthouse. Our server, Nikolas did not tend to our needs in a timely matter, I ordered Midori straight up. After the drink was served I did ask for a glass of ice. I ended up digging the ice out of my water glass. "Nathan Ryan Hot Dogs" ??? On my itemized receipt it stated Ballpark Hot Dog. The sweet potato fries were presented well, except for one thing. To much salt. I didn't even attempt to try them. I was not impressed with Old Iron Post. read more

Fourth visit in as many years. Plan to return for fifth tomorrow. We don't live here but we return every time we are in Sherman. Which is annually-if that doesn't explain how we love the place not sure what does. Appetizer spicy cauliflower is the greatest! I read a review saying apps are great but the price high? Where are they eating??? Price is equivalent to any place that's on par with this-or better. We just had app + 2 sandwiches and sides + 3 IPA BEERS + soda for $44. That's value. The service was on point while sitting at the bar. We have noticed that reviews in TX and OK food/bar are BRUTAL. I have never had bad food or service at OIP. We will look forward to seeing them again tomorrow! And next February again after Cross Timbers race. One of our faves in Sherman. Over 20 draft beers with a diverse selection and same with food choices! The only thing I was sad about...asparagus is no longer a side choice but I totally understand! Amazing food, service, atmosphere. We had the jalapeño cheese curds, pesto chicken salad sandwich with asparagus side, and jalapeño cream cheese burger. We drank beer only, but the Valentine's special drinks the bartender was mixing looked incredible! Overall great experience! read more

Well this will b our last visit. First off tho our Waiter, John was great. Attentive and met every request with a smile and timely service even tho his tables were all over the floor. Our order was ready soon enough but did sit a bit to long in the window as the fries were cold and gravy cooled. Chicken fried steak was blah. Toast was burned on one side. Pinto beans tasted like ranch style beans out of a can. No this wasn't a busy lunch run as we were there about 1pm. My Shiner was not cold just cool. We love the location and the "room". After three tries we' re done. read more

Going to give this place another try. Very impressed with the owners follow up.

Good food but you could definitely tell it's bar food from the high. Prices.Over $25 for 2 beers and Philly cheese steak with fries.

I have had mixed results at Old Iron Post. One time it's great and the next it's terrible. I've eaten here several times but after too many sub-par meals I decided not to return. read more

I like this place. Guess Because I grew up in Sherman. It's great they have continued the trend of revitalizing downtown Sherman. The food is great. read more

Safe to say I won't be going back because of the bartender Lauren being so rude and unprofessional.

We went with a large number of family members. The staff was helpful and nice, but they didn't go out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The food was pretty good, but not great. There is a really good, laid back vibe. read more

Awesome bar, really chill, and the waiters are very helpful and fun! In downtown Sherman, walkable from many little shops, with a nice patio. Love it! read more

Went Saturday evening around 6. Staff was dressed in costumes. Friendly atmosphere. Sat at the bar. Nick the bartender was friendly, nice, helpful, and attentive. Live music around 8 was a little loud but expected. They had also hired a card magician to walk around restaurant and entertain customers. Very talented and amazing. Ordered the Tex cheesesteak at recommendation of nick. Very tasty. Recommend this local restaurant. read more

Not a lot of places around here have a patio so yay for that. Food is pretty good! Check their fb for cute lil promo things of the week! $2 margs on Wednesday is where it's at, especially bc I can bring my dog. Something they use on the floor inside smells weird so I don't really like eating inside, plus my shoes like, stick to the floor and I don't really like that either. But 4* for good tacos, cheap margs, and having a patio where I can sip a bev with my fur son. read more

I went here with my wife, our two Children, my mom and our family friend. We were all very impressed, with excellent food and service. I had the cream cheese jalapeño burger and mango habanero boneless wings, both were delicious. I will definitely be back. Next time I plan on trying some of their alcoholic beverages. read more

I've tried their steak, which was your average steak. I've tried their chicken fried steak, and had better. Overall, the food is average but it's a nice place to go for a casual dinner or lunch. read more

Great Atmosphere! We ordered the chips/queso and had to get a redo on the queso, cold and clumpy. After that it was awesome! I ordered the Fiesta Chicken Salad, the southwest ranch was to die for! My husband ordered the chicken fry with cheese fries! You could have made a meal out of those alone! Great homemade taste! Service was nice and shout out to Eric for being an excellent server! Thanks, we will be back! read more

We stopped in for lunch after a visit to the shops on the square. The food is awesome! We had the pesto chicken salad wrap and a chicken quesadilla, and fresh cut fries with coarse salt and pepper. All were fantastic, and we had leftovers to take home. Servers are all friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere- very open interior and a nice patio outside. I just wish we didn't live an hour away. We would be here all the time for drinks and dinner. read more

Burger is mostly legit...patio is fun because you can watch the meter maid give everyone parking tickets like she is robocop...the street tacos are from la placita so you my as well go there...but the fries....ahhhhhhhhh the fries...just nom nom. read more

Good local place. Definitely improved when they changed their menu. Cheesesteaks are great and the bacon wrapped wings are very tasty but a little on the small side. My wife enjoys the margaritas. Eat local and support local business owners! read more

Very good place to eat when you have time to sit down and eat. Plenty of strange bar but delicious bar appetizers to try, but not limited to bar food. There is plenty of choices that won't force you to expand your pallet for the meal. read more

Nice patio, friendly service. I got the jam burger, and it did not disappoint. It was excellent. The bun was very good and the combination was on point. read more

Service is always great & menu has some unique and very yummy eats! Owners show to be part of the community and care about this town! One of our favorite places to go to at least weekly. read more

Awesome drink spot downtown. Nice atmosphere. You can sit outside and relax or you can sit inside and watch some sports. Really nice staff. Appetizers are good. read more

Great atmosphere and all but the service was extremely slow. The waiter took thirty minutes to return after our order was placed and the food we ordered was still not ready. They have a big selection of beers to choose from and the menu has a decent selection of foods. The waiters and cooks are what really brought down how great this place could really be. Update: The waiter apologized after roughly 45 minutes of placing our order with free chips and salsa. 5 minutes later our food came. read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was very good. The fries were amazing!!! I added extra maple mayo to the sandwich and it was perfect. Love the building!! It is great having such a neat place in Sherman read more

Great atmosphere and the burgers are IMO the best in town. Coldest beer in town too. Emily is the best waitress! Ask for Emily, great customer service read more

This was a good place to stop & eat at when we were in Sherman. Really enjoyed the BLT & the rosemary chicken. Would recommend for you to stop & try it. The service was great too! read more

Good food, friendly staff and wide selection of beers. The club sandwich was awesome, side salad was regular size salad. The place was a lot bigger than expected, huge horseshoe bar. Will be back! read more

Our favorite place for street tacos and some 903 beer. Great menu too. Love their atmosphere and staff too.

Great atmosphere, big bar, and good food. I met with friends and we all split things. Cold beer! If you're looking to catch a game or loosen up after work, do it! read more

Rude customer service, if you are over 30 and a male. Beware of so called cat calling?

Loved Chassity's service tonight! More specials for AC students!! Going to come everyday of the week! read more

Food was burned and service very slow : I will not eat there again , I think they have a problem with Vets ? I had my Nam hat on and , well you can think in your own mind : So to sum it up Bad JUJU all around ! read more

I love this place!! Drinks are great, food is good! The only bad thing I have to say is that usually whenever we sit outside, service is kind of slow. Other than that, they're burgers/ sandwiches/ chicken... (everything, really) is delicious! If Corey is there, he makes THE BEST Bloody Mary. read more

My hometown... Sherman, Texas! Born and raised there. Love that place. It's been sad to see the once vibrant downtown decline over the years to what it is now as businesses have moved to the "new" Hwy. 75 corridor. But, some forward thinking Sherman native investors took hold of one of downtown's corner buildings and turned it into a fun and inviting place. We'd been keeping an eye on its restoration progress since they started. One day recently we were chasing a severe thunderstorm near Sherman and also wanted to go by and see how the place was coming along. It was 3:30 on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Much to our surprise it was "open!" Went in and instantly fell in love with the place. Loved what they'd done to it! All the staff was very friendly. The waitress explained to us that they'd opened up about a week ago but it was a disastrous opening because the kitchen wasn't ready to handle the demand. So, they "shut it down" to fix things. The kitchen manager came out to say "howdy" to us and brought us free samples of food all of which were excellent. She profusely apologized for the disasters that'd happened during their opening week and promised that when they do open that things will be totally different. We believed her. I told her that it didn't matter to me because any wait for the food would be worth it because it was such a great place that brought back a lot of wonderful memories for me. So friend, if you have a problem with your food arriving a bit too late as they work out their newness... suck it up buttercup and enjoy the fact that downtown Sherman has a first class place that's going to be great if not already. Grayson County folks... this is a place to support! read more

Great place to go & kick back. My wife & I went there tonight & would highly recommend it. #1: they have 903 beer, I'm a huge fan & the new Trotline doesn't disappoint. #2: Awesome wings! May I suggest the Honey-Sriracha & #3: great service, Holly was very attentive & helpful. We will definitely make this a regular stop, no more having to drive to McKinney or Frisco read more
