Do you want one of the top rated breweries in the country?…read more Would you prefer a place with a local feel; one with bartenders that know and care about their beer and want you to enjoy what you order? Would you rather pick a place that also has creative (and stong!) cocktails? How about a place with a huge space that allows you to be in the crowd or get away with your group? Good, because Human Robot Jenkintown has all of that. You won't see high varieties of pastry stouts or high abv IPAs here. They specialize in European ales and lagers, but mix and match with hazy IPAs, a sour, and styles, all ranging from solid to top tier. The only real con is lack of parking (people use the Jenkintown parking access the street). Note that there is food onsite, but that's a different company and won't be rated here. That said, we've had good meals here. We highly recommend this place, and if you consider yourself a beer connoisseur, it's a must visit!

We might try it another time, because we might've gotten them on an off day, but there are many better restaurants we frequent around us.

Our group ordered a variety of items, including buffalo wings, pasta dishes, and pizza, and everything turned out great. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant has two separate areas, a bar and a main dining space. It's more spacious than it looks from the outside, and everything was clean and well maintained. Service - For the most part, the service was great. Since it was a busy Friday evening, there were a couple of hiccups. A few people in our group didn't receive their food until we brought it to the waitress's attention, but the issue was handled quickly. What We Ordered - Buffalo Wings (Good size, tender, and not overcooked with a very solid sauce) Honey I Am Home Pizza (I'm usually a New York thin crust person and pretty picky when it comes to pizza, but this really surprised me. They definitely live up to the name, bold with all the right flavor combinations, and easily one of the best pizzas I've had) Final Thoughts - All I can say is the food was so good that it makes me want to come back and try more of the menu.

It's cash only, which I happened to see as a pop-up box on the website. So it wasn't adverts enough for my friend to have known this. I was disappointed about my eggs because I asked for them to be over hard. They were runny. I might as well stick to scrambled eggs at this point. Other than that, the food was mediocre at best. My friend said her hash browns were hard. The orange juice was the best thing I had. Service was okay. I wasn't really anything spectacular and it took a while for the server to come over in the first place. It's pretty inside but it was cold. It's winter time--I could use a little more heat!

Overall, the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals -- except for the wings. Since it was Tuesday, they were on the half-price wing special, but they were extremely overcooked, tough, and honestly tasted like leftovers. That was a real disappointment given how good everything else was. Another issue I noticed was in the restroom. Instead of the toilet paper being stocked in the holder, the large rolls were sitting on the back of the toilet, which felt pretty unsanitary. Having to reach behind to grab and unravel a roll that's been handled by many people (and sitting right by the toilet) was off-putting. So while the main dishes were great, I'd caution anyone coming on wing night and hope management takes a closer look at both the wing prep and the restroom setup.

Prices are fair other than drink prices which were a little high. The food was delicious and had a nice appearance. The crab on the creamy linguini tasted surprisingly fresh as well. Every staff member was extremely polite as well. I will say, there were a couple individuals who appeared to be regulars that acted as if they were over served and when they left, the bartender said "I love you guys, have a good one," which was a little much even if it's for the sake of getting tips from regulars who aren't responsible enough to hold their liquor properly. The same patrons at the bar were also extremely loud which reminds you that it is a "bar" and not a fancy restaurant despite the amazing food and staff. The food and professionalism from the majority of the staff simply did not match the appearance of the workers who wore personal t-shirts which makes the whole experience feel a lot more casual despite the prices. Regardless we will be back due to the treatment from the staff and the great food!

There were a few times where I needed a break from the cafeteria at said hospitals. The distance, size and ambiance of Iron Hill was just right. Their beers have always been average to slightly above average. As far as small chains go Iron Hill will give you a good experience with beer and grub. On the first of three visits my sister and I enjoyed our pizzas. The Voodoo Chicken Pizza had a wonderful combo of flavors. If you love smoked gouda and lots of flavor, a sharable portion, nice char and bit of a sweet/spicy punch you'll enjoy it. My sister gave the Vodka Margherita pizza a thumbs up. The Philly Cheesesteak eggrolls were average, but both the horseradish and chili dipping sauces elevated the flavors. Second visit was a solo trip, I continued to enjoy their Ore House IPA - good brew with fruity/piney notes and a well balanced flavor profile. Not top tier but solid and very sessionable. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the crowd around me. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich was my lunch choice - provo, roasted red pepps, caramelized onions, arugula, pesto aioli & balsamic glaze on focaccia. The chicken was dry, but the rest of the sandwich was good. I kept thinking a switch to a juicy chicken thigh would make this sandwich worth the price. On my last and final trip I brought my son and we were happy to see they had a brunch menu. He tried the red velvet pancakes which were rich and very tasty. A big portion. We brought some home and my little guy devoured them. A win for the kids. I had the Hero Breakfast - eggs, bacon, pork roll, sourdough toast, biscuits and gravy, potatoes. My son picked on some of it. Again another big portion. Funny how sometimes the little things like sourdough toast going with the breakfast just made it that much more comforting. The gravy on the plate was peppery and very salty. Overall, I thought the brunch was good. The location was clean, staff was nice and the growler prices to go were very fair and reasonable. I bought a growler each of Ore House IPA and their 30 E. Street Stout to go and shared with family. I hope my next visit will be in better times, but for those three trips, the momentary distraction Iron Hill provided was helpful. Thanks guys.
