We've been on the road and sooo tired of road food. We drove a few miles from Niagara after reading reviews on Yelp, and what a treat it was to find Spiros close by in Iron Mountain! We weren't very hungry, but even if we were, what we ordered would have filled us both. Each had a very hot bowl of French Onion Soup which was delicious. It was full- bodied, not overly salty, with a nice bread covered with very bubbly, browned cheese overall. We also split a Black and Blue Gorgonzola Cranberry salad in which the good-sized piece of steak was nicely charred, and tender, and the greens fresh and plentiful as was the cheese crumbles and bacon. What really made it delicious was the absolutely delicious balsamic vinaigrette (maybe the best I've ever had and that's saying a lot because I am a salad fanatic)! The waitress was very nice (though the other woman wasn't so friendly). The only thing that wasn't great the ambiance. The ceiling is so high and there was a table of four women who were so loud it was hard to have a conversation at our table of two, and no one else in the restaurant. The walls are very bare and the tables look like they were haphazardly arranged. But who cares much when the food is so good, and the prices exactly reasonable!.

Wow. What a gluten free Diamond. Our server Macy was awesome!! I wish this place was in Grand Rapids I would come at least once a week! So yummy!

Voodoo ranger IPA

Ok 1st visit here so was not sure what to expect! Would love to have more imports for choices on beer but the local IPA voodoo ranger was decent and hoppy. French onion was good bread was little soggy maybe bake it prior to adding to the soup but good. Curry muscles were really good but was missing something, but over all was cooked properly and decent flavor. Mediterranean salad, lacked a little earthiness to the mixed greens but fresher than most places, suggest black olives, red onion and arugula for more balance, also add Greek dressing to the salad and keep the tadziki sauce for the lamb with little less water. The lamb was slightly drier but the fact that it was lamb was a plus maybe brine it more and drain before serving to keep the dryness to a minimum! But over all we liked. Service sorry forgot her name but was blond and one of the better servers we've had in awhile! Also front of house were on top of it so good work, and yes back did good to get the food out on time being it was full. Ambiance was like a better bar and grill so was over all good experience. Price was a little higher than was expected but was worth it with the great service we got.

9.7/10 bloody marry! WOW

A great place for a good dinner or lunch that is definitely more varied than the usual U.P. Fare.

We came here with a party of six to watch the NBA playoffs. We were pleasantly surprised with how…read moregood the food was. The ambience to the restaurant was nice and it felt clean and updated inside. I can't recall the exact price of everything, but I do recall that everything was priced as I would expect. Definitely not overpriced and everything was in line with the average rate. All the food was great. The cheeseburger was great including the bun. Sometimes you don't do so well with those. Someone else got macaroni and cheese which was awesome. I actually was a little surprised that it tasted so good because that is an always so great and restaurants. The pizza got great reviews by people. And a few other males did well. The couscous meal was ok. Now for the people. I will acknowledge that finding help these days is very difficult post pandemic. There was a younger teenage girl working as the hostess. While she may be young, somebody really does need to train her on customer service. She initially told us that they were waiting for two table tops of 16 even though the two tables of 16 had already been seated. She told us that we would not be able to eat for an hour but we cannot get a table for another hour and a half. Obviously this doesn't make any sense. You have to have a table 1st and then you can eat. She told us it would take an hour and a half for the six of us to be seated even though there were plenty of tables open. The thing that makes this bad, is even if she was totally mistaken, and totally wrong, she was very rude the entire time. There was no smile, her tone of voice was pretty crabby, and she definitely did not make you feel like she was going to do anything to try to make it work for you. She seemed somewhat grouchy and irritated that you were coming in to eat. I would have no issue if she had said this and clearly been wrong, but her tone of voice and everything about her customer service was wrong. She did not appear friendly and definitely did not smile or look like she was trying to accommodate. She presented like a sulky teenagers. After giving a few solutions to the hostess of how we could use one of the several open tables available, she finally figured out how we could be seated immediately since there were so many tables open. We ended up being served by Thale, Who is a total gem. She saved the meal. The server was not only nice, polite, and friendly, she was humble and made you feel welcome. A far cry from the hostess a few feet away. The server was on top of her game, refilling drinks, and stayed very on top of our meal to make sure that we had everything we needed. She was charming and made the meal awesome. I would definitely come here again and I would hope that somebody in management considers talking to their hostess about how to provide better customer service. Other than that, everything else was great. The server should be acknowledged for her friendly and outgoing attitude. The food is great so nice job to the cooks on the line.

Let's start off by our server coming to our table without introducing herself or welcoming us. But…read moresimply just said "what do you want!". If that was any indication to what the rest of the meal was like we should've left then. So we came in for a Friday Fish Fry. We ordered two Walleye's and one Perch Fish Fry. And to say that our fish was burnt is understatement. Please see photos of the madness. We immediately asked for the entree's to be recooked. They brought out our fish a second time and at least they didn't look burnt but there is a reason. They were undercooked. Not completely raw but undercooked. At this point just don't serve any more Fish. You obviously can't prepare it correctly. The manager explained "that it looks dark because of the spices in the batter". Cause that's a reason why food looks and tastes burnt. We paid, left a tip and went to another restaurant in Iron Mountain to wash away the taste of what we just experienced. I know this resort is up for sale and all I can say is to the new owner willing to pay the $4million price tag. Please focus on this restaurant and kitchen experience immediately.

What a sweet little spot! The woman working was so welcoming and relaxed. I walked in with my…read moreparents and my three little girls, and she was incredibly pleasant and accommodating. My dad said it felt like you were walking into someone's home the way she treated us. It was steadily busy, but she was attentive and so kind. All of us enjoyed our food, which was also reasonably priced. My mom and I got the Miner Meal, and it was perfect. The original pasty (just your classic meat, potato and option for rutabaga), a side of slaw, a drink and cookie. I grew up eating pasties, and it was a really solid one. It's all about the crust for me, and they nailed it. Plus, the option of 8oz was just right! And the slaw was really yummy too. A very refreshing side for a heavy pasty. My dad got the pasty mac - no clue it was even a thing (and maybe it isn't anywhere else), and he loved it! Kids got pepperoni pizza pasty and chicken tenders and fries - everything was a hit. My dad tasted the pizza pasty too and said it was delicious. Only the kids ate the tenders and fries - nothing special there, but they were happy with them. Then they each got a cup of Superman ice cream, and we all know you can't go wrong there. Overall, a really great experience! We'd totally come back and would recommend to anyone looking for some classic and tasty yooper food close to the iron mine!! Drive-thru, indoor and outdoor seating, convenient location, coloring pages for kids, great service. Oh, and the bathroom is nice and clean too.

Unless there's a nuclear apocalypse under no circumstances, should you order fish from this…read moreestablishment. They turned Cajun catfish into a soggy sponge that tasted like dirt from the bottom of your shoe. The mystery tartar sauce was exactly it mystery! very strange color tint between white and yellow. I have absolutely no idea what the two fried balls in the little brown bag where that came with with the meal, which I'm assuming is a consolation prize for taking a gamble and ordering from here. Whatever it was smelt exactly like the fish so that tells me that whatever they fried it in was in the same oil they're cooking fish in which most of us all know is a no-no. The woman at the register, walking around, rubbing her nose, face hair and touching everything in between was a sight I'll just never forget. It's a dirty shame because food used to be excellent coming from this place, but that's back when employees clearly cared about the product they were serving
