I love it here. It's loud but the good kind of loud. Loud enough to have a great atmosphere but not too loud I can still hear the people at my table. Have loud kids? Nobody will care or notice. TVs everywhere. Industrial decor really nice. Strawberry margarita and prickly pear YUM! French onion soup, as good as it looks. I saw several of them being delivered around me. Steak mushroom risotto. It was good not worthy of ordering again but definitely deserves a try. The steak, however, was phenomenal. Sweet potato fries were great. Allegedly this place has its own designated cheesesteak making area and they take their cheesesteaks very seriously. It shows because it was so good, I wanted to cry. I'm not from around here, but I would 100% drive the hour and 20 minutes to get back here. There's 1 million people that work here so you can't go wrong either. And they're all nice. Well run, well done. Happy happy happy.

Philly Cheesesteak

Iron Oven for the win! My family and I have been several times but I never left a review. We are early dinner eaters because we have a toddler. We got there at 4:45 and were seated within 10 mins even though the World Cup was going on. Water was served quickly and a cup with a lid for my toddler. We tried the cheesesteak and balsamic honey chicken salad. I asked for light cheese because I've heard they load it up. Some people will think that is a bad choice for less cheese but for me it was perfect. My wife and I split the salad and it was perfect. We will definitely come back, it is a loud bar and grill area where seating is tight but the service was great.

Cheesesteak with Fried onions and fries.

The food at the Iron Oven is just so good. The cheese steaks a must try. And the strombolis as well. Service was great. For wait time about 30 minutes. Food does take awile too come out. About 35 minutes for my cheesesteak Stromboli about 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back again too try other foods.

Cheesesteak Eggrolls and the Hot BBQ Stromboli
Michele A.

Delicious food...and superb service (friendly staff!!!). The ambiance was vibing with family, friends, and World Cup excitement! A combination family restaurant and sports bar -- with a comfortable feel of home. The menu had sooooo many things to choose from; the appetizers were so filling (a meal itself), the entreé was tasty, and the drinks were cool and refreshing. A joyful experience!

My lord..... is what you say after first bite of the cheesesteak. Been on my list for well over a year now. Lines are usually out the door which is a good sign. Last few times I've tried to go it was 1+ hour wait. I legit think people are in parking lot waiting for them to open. My brother in law and I arrived at 11:39 (they open at 11:30 today) and there were at least 40 people already seated. Great atmosphere and menu. Love the crazy amount of appetizers. My brother in law and I split cheesesteak and a buffalo chicken flatbread. I've had hundreds of cheesesteaks and this is by far the best I've ever had. The bread is like a large french baguette with sesame seeds - tons of flavor. Meat and cheese (cooper) were perfect. Got onions on side as brother in law doesnt like. They were melt in your mouth good... very similar to french onion soup onions. Fries were just ok, definitely had better (Maggies northeast philly top of list). The flatbread was very good, my only criticism would be not enough cheese and also would be nice to have blue cheese chunks or drizzle. Incredible experience.

French Onion
Ashley L.

This french onion soup changed my life. I've seen this soup from here on TikTok but have never gotten it here before, even though Iron Oven is one of the most consistent restaurants near me. The crispy onion straws on top were to die for and the soup was such a good size. Cheesy, flavorful, and the bread inside was delicious. I got the chicken caesar wrap as my main, which unfortunately I don't have a picture of because I was starving. It was stuffed to the brim and tasted fresh. Some other honorable mentions here are their boneless wings and short rib quesadillas. Yum!

Small Caesar Salad

Decided to come here (I am not local to this restaurant) with two friends back in mid-November. It was packed (which I anticipated for a Saturday early evening)! We waited a half hour and then were seated. Maureen was our server and she was AWESOME!! We enjoyed the Thanksgiving egg rolls, soups and salads. Everything was great as it always is! I have alway had great service and food when I come here. So good to be able to count on that!

1lb Cheesesteak
Sir B.

So I was looking forward to eating here after I saw the Godfsther of Meat's review. Altho cheesesteak is huge and on a great roll, I thought I'd was average. Meat was overcooked and the bun over toasted. The wings were tangy and decent with delicious blue cheese dressing. Place was packed with good service. Still would recommend

The bathroom was full of flies and had some sort of large electric blacklight contraption mounted in the middle of the sinks The air conditioning was leaking onto the floor in the middle of the entrance and when I walked in I stood at the host stand for 10 minutes only for no one to show up at it. Decided to sit myself at the bar instead of waiting and ordered the cheesesteak Cheesesteak itself was good. Definitely above average with the house made bread. But not one of the best I've had. Worth trying it though

Christina V.

Last minute decision to grab dinner, just me and my husband since our kids were all busy with work, band, etc. saw a post about the French onion soup here and came to try this place because of it. Yes, the French onion soup is a 5/5, great broth, and love the fried onions on top. We had Stromboli and the fried potato skins as well, both were good. It was a Friday night, so decided to get a drink from their very fun looking drink menu, and I admit i an espresso martini snob and it was amazing here! Another 5/5! Vibe is friendly, neighborly. Can tell it's a lot of regulars there. Our waitress, Stephanie was great! I would return and try more drinks and other items from the menu.

From the top, short rib pierogies, bang bang shrimp, cheese steak eggrolls, pig shots, and garlic parm cheese bombs.

Was so looking forward to getting here after the tiktok videos and reviews. Service was good at what appeared to be a busy time. We did ask for separate checks but that was forgotten by the end of the meal. I and another member of my party ordered the french onion soup. It was okay. We both felt like the onion straws were not fresh, flavor was good. I liked the amount of cheese in the soup but my tablemate felt it was too much. We probably wouldn't order it again. We enjoy our appetizers and the list was impressive! We got the cheesesteak eggrolls, they were great, not impressed with the dipping sauce, but that's okay. My tablemate got the bang bang shrimp and felt that the shrimp was overcooked terribly. The Pig Shots were soooo good. I would definitely order those again! The most disappointing thing was the Garlic Parm Cheese bombs. The breading was way too heavy. The sauce was good so we used that for other things. Wished we had have just ordered the mozz sticks. The short rib pierogies were very good, would definitely order those again! We ordered a cheeseburger well done, it was well done but dry. I feel as though that was my tablemates fault for ordering it well-done but I also believe that it is possible to cook a burger well-done and still not be dry. We may come back, but not in a hurry.

Fried Vodka Mac and cheese balls
Trish R.

Iron oven is one of our favorite local spots! Never had a bad meal, everything is always delicious. There is typically a wait because it's always packed, so be prepared for that. They do have a bar you can grab a drink at though while you wait. Tonight we got the seasonal special drinks, fried vodka Mac and cheese balls, the buffalo chicken Caesar wrap December special and the grilled chicken sandwich. It didn't disappoint! It was also decorated for the holidays!

Loaded pierogies (front) and mini buffalo chicken stromboli
Anna Marie P.

There were a lot of interesting options to choose from on the menu, but an easy choice was the fried mac and cheese balls appetizer. Definitely a great choice especially with the vodka sauce it was served with. I wasn't super hungry so I went with the loaded pierogies appetizer for my meal which was 5 pierogies covered in au jus and short rib meat then covered with cheese and baked in a crock. I didnt enjoy them as much as I had hoped, they were a bit too soupy for my liking. The buffalo chicken stromboli that my husband got was good. The "mini" was the side of a football so that left extra to bring home. It was a busy Saturday evening with lots of small parties so it was a bit noisy but our waiter was great and so were the rest of the staff. Definitely worth stopping in for some apps and to catch a game if you are looking for a place to do that.

The person on the phone replied, "Ma'am, have you even been to a restaurant?" -- in a sarcastic, condescending tone. I was stunned and asked him to repeat what he said, and he repeated the same words, just as dismissively. I fully understand that accommodating a large, last-minute party might not be possible, but there is absolutely no reason to speak to anyone in such an unprofessional and disrespectful manner. The sarcasm and tone were completely unnecessary and left a terrible impression. Based on this experience alone, I have no interest in ever visiting this restaurant. Extremely disappointing and unacceptable customer service.

This is strike 2 in the last year ( we started coming here a few years back) and unfortunately I don't think we'll be coming back. It's a shame, because the place was once great.

There was thick juicy sliced ham and roast beef, a selection of vegetable and pasta dishes, a spread of salads and a sweet dessert table. The dining room has a nice atmosphere. During our first time up at the buffet, an 86 year-old member of our party made a comment to me about how one of the soup's looked like dog food. It wasn't the best comment, and apparently someone nearby took offense. During our second trip back to the buffet, another diner- a complete stranger- called this member of our party a slang word for a female dog, and then explained why. We felt uncomfortable and intimidated. I expressed my concern to a hostess, who promised to send someone to speak to us to work this out- except they never did. Having to make repeated trips back to our table past this other diner made us uncomfortable. I spoke to a well-intentioned but happily apathetic manager who said that there were two sides to the story. His comparison of the two comments was offensive. I understand that the soup comment was inappropriate, and that restaurants cannot control what their customers say either way. But how could someone not speak up after having their girlfriend/wife/mother/grandmother/loved one called a "female dog?" The restaraunt's dismissive response spoke volumes to their handling of disputes and respect toward women. The staff did nothing to make or feel better, nor did they even bother to check in or talk to her. For a dinner that came to over $200 for the three of us, with gratuity included, we expected to be treated better than that.

Surprisingly, the only entrée that was decent was the steak frites. The snow crabs were cooked in or sprinkled with some kind of weird spices (not even Old Bay) which ruined the taste of the crabs. Supposed to be served with melted butter, but it sure didn't taste like butter, at least not fresh, pure butter. The fish & chips looked and tasted like Mrs. Paul's. The onion rings were good and served with a horse-radishy dip. Really terrible service. The bus boy repeatedly reached across the table for the snow crab shell bowl instead of asking for it or excusing himself or saying anything. Rude. The server pretty much ignored us. Christine B. wrote: "She must not have needed tips because she hardly even acknowledged we were there." Absolutely spot on! We had to flag her down multiple times to order drinks and food. Not many people in the place, other than up at the bar, so no reason not to receive much better service. Beer menu was crowded, but devoted to domestic and "craft" (aka crap) beers. Unanimous decision from the three people who dined: no thank you!
