Fantastic food, fantastic staff! Came here and had some amazing burgers. And it sounds silly, but their pickles absolutely blew us away. The friendly chef was making the rounds, asking how everything was, and we couldn't help but geek out about how amazing we thought their pickles were. The guy was so friendly he even offered to send us home with extra pickles! How cool is that? Such a great addition to the Hayward food scene, and really great to see people who clearly have a passion for their business. It shows in the amazing food! read more

Low quality product with poor service. No originality or care for the experience of the guest. Better food, service, and atmosphere just about anywhere. read more

Tried their Friday night fish fry: both fried and creole style. Very tasty! Great service as always. A great place to relax and enjoy good food. read more

Employee Jen couldn't have been more friendly! Big, stiff drinks, clean comfortable place with bar fare. Add a star for my husband who was able to get a vegan burger. So happy we found this place. read more

Service was amazing offered to pay for everyone at the table and nobody wanted it and the bartender bought me my food amazing

We enjoyed a Blackiron salad and Angus sliders. Friendly staff, prompt service. Relaxed atmosphere.

Stopped for a drink. Owner was behind the bar, very friendly. Drinks prices are good. Looked at menu, from what I hear from other locals to semi- locals we need to eat here. See you soon. Oh, and place is awesome looking and clean. read more

I will say we started with the best Bloody Mary's, I have had in a long time. A must have. Then we have 3 appetizers. The cheese curds, white cheese curds were really good, then we had the Full Tilt Fries, also a must try. Last appetizer was the artichoke and spinach dip. It was still good, but more spinach then cheese, and the pita chips, some a little too fried. We finished the night with steak sliders. Those were awesome too. The staff was awesome and super nice. Fabulous atmosphere. Would definitely go back. read more

We were so psyched to get the Friday fish fry after reading the other reviews, but it wasn't quite as good as we had read. We have been back to avoiding eating in (thanks, Omicron), so we called and asked if they could still do fish fry curbside, and they said yes. I said I know it won't be all-you-can-eat, but is it a good portion? And the guy I talked to said "yeah, we load you up". So we called when we were on our way, and they said it would be ready in 10 minutes, which it was, freshly fried and hot! Everything was tasty, and we really liked the coleslaw and cornbread that came with it, but we only got 3 medium sized pieces of fish, definitely not what we would consider "loading you up". We also thought the fish coating was a bit undercooked, it wasn't quite golden brown. And they didn't give us any ketchup for the fries, butter for the corn bread, forks or napkins, so we had to scrounge when we got back to our motel. BUT there really aren't a lot of choices in the area, and as you can see on Yelp, a lot of them get pretty terrible reviews. So I would say this is among the better restaurants in town, and we would definitely try it again when we can eat in, or when the weather is better and we can eat outside. read more

Big Beef was terrible. Very dry. Liters did not eat it. When waitress asked how it was, and it had one bite out of it, I replied not good. She took it and walked away. There was eight of us. Ambiance was good. May have a drink thee but won't eat there again due to fact that nothing was done to correct problem. I own several restaurants. read more

Buger was cooked rare and had more bun than meat. Overall food was ok/overprice(17$ for pic) and service was good. read more

Great service even thru the Covid pandemic! Got the Fish fry!! We got the fires and roasted potatoes both delicious. I think next time I would stick to the fries. Came with slaw and corn bread. Given you couldn't dine in for all you could eat they still gave you a good amount of fish. I would highly recommend and can't wait to be able to dine in sometime when the world is back in order. read more

Cool little bar and restaurant on the side of the road. Outside and inside are new and nice looking! Very clean inside, a good amount of seating available and they have WiFi since you probably don't have service there other than that. Cold beer - no complaints there! I do wish there was more variety on the menu for picky eaters :) read more

We've been going here for years! The owner is super nice and so is the rest of the staff. Food is flipping fantastic; my personal favorite is the "monster burger." Service is always relatively quick and the environment is always warm and lively. Not to mention, the entire restaurant is always pristine and so are the bathrooms. I highly recommend trying Blackiron out if you're looking for a good meal and even better company. Not to mention, they're also very family friendly. read more

A looooong time ago this was the Dickysy Manor. Those days are gone but Blackiron is just as welcoming with good drinks & food. Sliders superb, salads refreshing, burgers juicy, French fries crispy. Friendly, attentive service. read more

We were famished but late getting to eat. The "locals" recommended the Blackiron. We called ahead to see if they were still serving. We were told they only had the pizza oven going so we headed on over. When we walked in the door they told us that we could order off the menu because they turned everything back on!!! The sandwiches, fries and fish were excellent. Service was wonderful! We would visit again. read more

Friday Fish fry was fresh, tasty and plentiful. Dan the manager personally greets people as well as mixing special order "old fashioned" drinks. He makes you comfortable, even when eating alone. Service was great, just like the food! read more

Great spot out of Hayward for food, drinks and relaxing. Blackiron is located on the ATV/Snowmobile trails and Tiger Cat Flowage. The service and food are excellent with a great family atmosphere complete with outdoor patio. The burgers may be one best in the area. From the time you enter to the time you depart your will feel welcome. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g59952-d8872648-r495916990-Blackiron_Bar_and_Grill-Hayward_Wisconsin.html# read more

We visited here several times over a weekend trip to Hayward. The fish fry on Friday was so delicious that we came back the next night for dinner. I tried the bbq bacon burger and have been craving it ever since! Also it was my first experience trying poutine and I couldn't imagine anyone doing better. The cheese curds are a must have. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is such a pleasant difference from the old restaurant. I can't wait to come back. read more

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! The food was amazing, the staff was extremely friendly, welcoming and accommodating, even with our small children. If you haven't been there yet, get there! Friday night Fish Fry was fantastic. If you go in the evening, check out the fire pit out back. Guaranteed we'll be back. This will be an annual stop for our family. read more

We were looking for a place for lunch with the family and decided to give the Blackiron a try. So glad we did! We were able to sit outside, which was great. Seemed to be only one guy running the bar and waiting tables, but even still the service was great. Food and drinks were fantastic. I had the burger with bleu cheese and onions. SO GOOD! Our family also split the skillet cookie for dessert....delicious! The place was clean. Service was good. Food was great. We will definitely be back! read more

Cute atmosphere. Little north of Hayward but worth the drive. Would have liked more options for meatless meal but the burger was delish.

Good place. Nice people. It's in the middle of the north woods, so you cant expect a city-like menu etc. I had a pizza. Tasty crust, nice sauce, maybe a little too much cheese, but hey...as I said, north woods. read more

This restaurant is our favorite near Hayward. I've vacationed in Hayward for over 50 years so I've sampled most eating establishments. We used to go to a different restaurant every night. But now we have a favorite and only visited one other, and wished we hadn't. The food selection and portions are great. The menu is varied enough so you have a good choice and it is prepared with care. Service was great and personable. Prices were inline too. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and have dinner here. read more

Very nice and very clean place. Service was great. Food was tasty, but was not hot. I will give them a try again, because everything was great except the food temp. read more

Great eats. Cold beer. Excellent hospitality. Dan and team treat you well at Blackiron. Hit them up when in the area.

Great service, very clean, spinach dip was wonderful & burgers were so good. Bartender super friendly. We will be back.

What a wonderful place to stop for a beer and lunch! We got to sit next to a nice wood fireplace, linked up to the free WiFi, ordered from a descent tap selection and had great food. read more

Enjoyed the warm atmosphere. Food was delivered quickly and was hot! Excellent hand cut fries. Will return

The Friday night fish fry is excellent, with great slaw and fresh cut fries. Kids had burgers and they were very happy with them. I highly recommend the Blackiron B and G! read more

Stopped here for lunch today on our way through. What a gem! We were greeted and taken care of immediately. Loved the decor, menu options, and friendly service. We all tried something different - burgers, chicken sandwiches, steak salad, and chili - all excellent! We will return! read more

Owner was very uninviting and almost seemed upset we came in, the food was mediocre at best. they didn't even toast the buns for any meal that required a bun the food was warm but not hot keep in mind we were the only customers in the restaurant that (if that's what you call this disaster) so the food should have been hot. Highly recommending somewhere else if you are a traveler only locals get served reasonably read more

My wife and I really enjoyed this restaurant. The decor and surroundings are pleasant and rustic in tune with the area. We really enjoy their chicken dinner entrée. We've been there a handful of times and have always had a good meal. Not your usual bar food. Not a big menu but a nice one with good healthy choices. Unless you get the Iron pan chocolate chip cookie dessert with vanilla ice cream, which we highly recommend. We'll be back. read more

I've been twice, once on a Friday for fish fry and once on a Saturday evening. Both experiences were amazing! I've been coming to Hayward for several years, and was always looking for (and not finding) a great laid back restaurant that still had amazing food. Finally I found my spot in Blackiron Bar and Grill. Everything from appetizers to burgers to main entrees has been so yummy. I'm still craving their BBQ Bacon Burger 2 weeks later! Fish Friday was so much fun. Great crowd and great food. Can't wait to come again! read more

Terrific burger and chicken sandwich, tasty fries, and friendly and attentive service. If we're ever back in Hayward, we'll definitely return. read more

Hidden little gem in northern Wisconsin. Stopped in a bit late on Saturday night. Service was great. Very friendly and accommodating even though they were winding down for the night. Four off us had a combination of burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken pasta dish, and a salad. Came out quickly and was piping hot and delicious. Prices were very reasonable and they had a decent selection of beers. Great music on the sound system was icing on the cake. I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

Food was awesome! We had the steak salad, steak sliders, cheese curds, fries buffalo rolls and it was all fantastic! Waiter was attentive and this place is a for sure going to become a go to for us when we are here. read more

Outstanding hidden gem. My wife and I both had burgers, the portions were perfect, not too big, not too small. Flavor was excellent, and a gluten-free bun optional was a welcome surprise. My vegetarian daughter opted for the artichoke spinach dip, which was good... but the pita chips. Oh the pita chips. House made, piping hot, truly amazing. read more
