Iron Cafe has a decent selection of food, and while the menu offers good variety, the overall quality was average and didn't really stand out. The biggest drawbacks were the atmosphere and the condition of the restaurant. The space has an outdated feel, there was a noticeable musty odor, and the dining area didn't appear as clean as it could be, which took away from the experience. Another inconvenience is that they only accept cash. Although there is an ATM on-site, customers shouldn't have to withdraw cash just to pay for a meal. In today's world, offering debit and credit card payments--or other electronic payment options--is simply an expectation and would make the experience much more convenient. Overall, the food was okay, but the ambiance, cleanliness, and cash-only policy make it difficult for me to recommend or return. read more

Recently stopped in with best friend, Mud Magnet, AKA the Old Crow, before a day of actual crow hunting. Iron Cafe is in a very old building, circa pre-1900, although they couldn't give me the exact year. Lots of nooks and crannies in the smallish floor plan Menu has plenty of options. MM had a Sunrise Omelet, which he devoured licketty split. I opted for eggs over, with home fries and toast. Our coffees were made in the kitchen. Kind of unusual, but they came out perfect. Overall, the food was very good, and I am a big fan. Wouldn't hesitate to return if in the area. Cash only, w ATM on-site. read more

First time here, and it certainly won't be our last. When I tell you they have the best breakfast potatoes you'll ever taste, I am not kidding. BEST tasting, most delicious, well-seasoned potatoes you'll have! This cafe is situated in a charming historic building, which definitely adds to the experience. They also have outdoor seating, which more than doubles their seating capacity (not too many seats inside). We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast here, and the coffee was excellent. I got an almond joy latte with oat milk, which was smooth and not overly sweet. Great drink! 4 instead of 5 because they're cash only (as of writing this review at least), which is hella inconvenient in this day and age. There wasn't (or we didn't notice any obvious) signage outside of the restaurant to indicate this. They do have an ATM on-site, so you don't have to go running to the bank if you don't have cash on you. read more

The food is made fresh and is truly delicious. Love their grilled vegetables sandwiches.

Today was a cold windy day and we unfortunately had to sit in the rear of the restaurant, which is basically a tent. They have propane heaters that are warm but because of the wind, your head was hot, and your legs were freezing. We ordered the French toast with side orders. My wife had the side of bacon, $4.50 which was 1-1/2 pieces of bacon...... that's right, 1-1/2 pieces of bacon for $4.50. She also got an order of home fries $4.95 and again was like a half potato. Now I have to be honest, I might have the two side order prices mixed up, but either way it's still not worth it. I had the sausage as a side order, and what I got was an actual McDonald's sausage patty, also up there in price however I won't write how much because I'm not sure I don't remember. My wife got a hot chocolate that was basically brown water. Total of the bill, $47.00 and I gave an $8 tip. Oh. They only accept cash. All this mixed with the wind coming in the tent and cooling our food off rapidly made for a crappy experience. I guess my biggest gripe would be is the sides. The place is kind of funky and cool, but for the money, I would certainly not go back again. This is a one and done! read more

The breakfast here is always amazing, and there are great options to choose from. Great service. Highly recommended.

Great place for lunch! Their quiche is amazing! Food and service was great! Very convenient location in downtown Montgomery.

Love, love, love it all. Decor, great food, terrific coffee, great service. They take cash only, but ATM is on site.

Been here twice now and I like how fast you get your food and how plentiful the portions are. Sitting outside is a must seasonally. Both times ordered the breakfast sandwiches and they were hearty for sure. 10/10 would recommend. read more

We made sure to get take out on our last day in this cute town of Montgomery because we had breakfast there the day before. Hot Starbucks coffee was a surprise treat! It's a busy place with a cute outdoor patio/terrace with tables, perfect for breakfast. Our server was friendly and and our breakfast was delicious! The French toast was thick and grilled to perfection. My day two breakfast that I got for takeout was a mushroom and cheese omelet. It was fluffy, not drown in grease, and the mushrooms were fresh. I also got a yogurt parfait which was chock full of fresh berries and granola. A lot of food. I didn't realize when I ordered it that the parfait was enough for a meal! All was very good. The staff are busy and seemed to work together like clockwork. They were very busy and kept up with it very well. I was impressed! We didn't wait long for our food at all and they even included the forks and napkins! read more

Food was terrible and they forgot the oatmeal. We got both wraps the cutlet and southwest wrap. Chicken was definitely frozen super chewy and huge pieces unable to eat. Salad was poorly placed on the side. They do cash only, and don't give you a receipt after fyi read more

CASH ONLY Absolutely delicious. I love that we were able to go here. In a cute small town, but they serve Starbucks, better than Starbucks honestly. My only complaint coming from a larger city, is that they are only CASH ONLY. I get it though, there are so many benefits. They have amazing food though, I cant wait to eat more there. Check out my delicious salad. read more

Had brunch at this establishment this past Sunday. Was ok. The ambiance is cozy, quaint & rustic, yet quite loud & crowded. Food, service & pricing was average, but it's a CASH-ONLY payment, with an ATM onsite. I mean, cash only in 2023? Cmon now. read more

It was a pleasure to visit Iron Cafe, once we found it. Not be from the area it took a bit if doing and some sharp eyes on the part of my travel companion to locate it in an old building in this very quaint town. Iron Cafe fits with the vibe of the town. There is parking in front on the street or behind the building. As other Yelpers have noted, this is a CASH ONLY cafe. There is an ATM located inside if you happen to not have enough cash on hand. This is a small cafe, so I wouldn't recommend bringing a party of more than four here for a breakfast out. The menu has a nice selection of breakfast items and the coffee selection is great, especially after having bad hotel coffee. We both had lattes . They were well balanced. The staff is very pleasant. We felt that our food arrived in decent time. Our breakfasts were delicious and we were happy to have discovered this gem of a breakfast place on our travels. read more

Omgggggg I could I go on and on about this place. My sister and I come here like everyday and we try something different each time and each time they never disappoint, we leave satisfied more then satisfied. Every meal I've had here is a 100/10. I have never left a review on Yelp before but this place deserves a review. You have to come try their food & drinks. I promise you won't leave disappointed. It is a cash only place though just letting you guys know. But also the staff is literally the best they provide excellent service and are very attentive. The area is also very cute. Love love love this place. I could eat here every single day I'm not kidding. read more

its a small and very cozy little café, not much seating though and can feel small. so I was greeted warmly and I got a seat pretty quickly, and the menu was kind of small, but it has a good amount of variety. I ordered the big ray O omelet with white toast and it was made very quickly. the omelet was very fresh, all meats inside were charred and crisp perfectly and there was a lot of filling for its price. am glad the cheese inside was fresh mozzarella inside of shredded mozzarella, love that big gooey cheese bite. toast was okay, nice and buttered. nice hidden little treasure for quality breakfast or lunch read more

It has been two years since our last visit. Due to health reasons we were unable to return sooner As ALWAYS THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT AND OUR ENTIRE TIME WAS PURE PLEASURE. We were fortunate to run into the owner as we were leaving. He is such a "people person" and wants to make sure you enjoyed your meal...good service. I leave wishing we could come more often but unfortunately we were retiring to south Florida for the winter r months. If you are ever in Montgomery....go to "The Iron Cafe". You will never be disappointed. read more

Best coffee in town hands down! We came to this small cafe during our weekend upstate. Upon arrival it's was a little hard to figure out where the shop actually is because I didn't really see a sign. So we focused on looking for the number 59 which was pretty visible. We ordered a decaf vanilla latte and a hot chocolate with milk based. Both were absolutely delicious. They serve Starbucks coffee there! I also saw they have daily breakfast special. We had already eaten breakfast, otherwise we would've definitely had breakfast here because everything looked delicious! The girls behind the counter are super attentive and sweet. If you're in town you must stop by here. read more

On a road trip looking for a lunch that was not fancy but not pizza/sub. Found this on yelp and tried. A little off the highway but only by six or seven minutes We had two wraps and a quiche. The quiche was among the best ever (in our top five) Creamy with a flaky crust. I had the chicken, jalapeño, avocado and bacon wrap. It was pressed like a panini which gave the perfect melt to the cheddar. Sandwiches come with choice of three sides; salad, fruit or macaroni salad. I found the macaroni salad to be little bland, others liked it. The fruit salad was very good. No reliance on melons. Blueberry, strawberry, pineapple. Yummy. read more

Their food is amazing. Excellent. Only issues are 1. If you sit outside, don't sit near the tarp they have out bc if the wind blows, the tarp slaps the chairs near it knocking them down. Happened twice last Sunday hitting me in the back . 2. Expect to pay cash bc they don't accept credit cards. The convenient ATM charges like 3.00, plus your own banks' fee. Sit inside and pay cash and enjoy a great meal. read more

So cute, love the sandwiches and the staff are all precious. Not much seating in the winter so go for take out and the Starbucks.

Food was good. I had the ranch wrap and enjoyed it thoroughly. My wife enjoyed her meal as well. They service was black a bit. We were the only ones dining and I think they forgot we were there. They need to do something about the gnat problem. We were shooing them throughout the meal. read more

The food is good the service is amazing! The place is relaxing great for family dinners

First time here with friends and we loved it! There was something for everyone including myself, a lifetime vegetarian. My friends ordered the bagel lox, eggs, and I ordered the French toast. They also serve a variety of coffee and tea. It's a family friendly place with a laid back atmosphere. Make sure to bring cash, because it's cash only :) read more
