We were in the area for the balloon festival they had, weather was unexpected! We stopped by Iron Horse for a late lunch, service was good. The food wasn't bad. The restaurant seemed clean. It was cute that they have like a little ghost town set up outside, they have a lot of seating inside and outside. The restrooms are outside...and heated! There is a door to go in to a gift shop in the same space as the entrance to the dining area. There was a group of us and our waitress was on top of it, had no problem splitting the checks and stayed organized so that she could easily do so! I'd love to give it 5 stars, but my brisket plate was just okay. Two small pieces, the mac and cheese was pretty simple, the toast was just not toasty...the slices of brisket I was given were good. And I did enjoy the sweet potato with cinnamon and brown sugar. My husband enjoyed his Frank Sinatra burger and fries. So we were not disappointed with Iron Horse at all, we just didn't walk away impressed either. Not much else in the area so with limited options they don't really need to go all out. read more

This place was decent. I found a common theme in this city that the outside of the buildings look really cool and the interior is underwhelming. The food was all good. I enjoyed the smoked chicken, especially. The brisket was very tender. Service was kind and quick. No complaints. One odd thing is that me and another guest at the table both ordered an extra side of brisket to go along with our meals and they served it on the same platter. When it was about half gone and I had asked for my side, they said they put both portions on the same dish and that is just weird and made it awkward. However, they did bring me an extra little cup of brisket. Still odd that they would do that. The atmosphere was cool, but the live entertainment that night was singing very depressing songs which honestly just mismatched the vibe of the whole restaurant and ruined the mood. Happy I tried Iron Horse, but probably wouldn't come back between the odd service and the sad entertainment not matching with the expected vibe of the place. A lot of potential with this restaurant though. read more

Iron Horse Restaurant - Full rack with sides. - Steakhouses Near Me - Kanab, Utah

Delicious food. Nice outdoor patio. Awesome service, who give great reccomendations. We stumbled across this place during a cross country drive, and we're glad we did! read more

I wanted an authentic meal while on the road and staying in Kanab. Headed over to the Iron Horse, and the staff were warm and welcoming. A family friendly restaurant with a western theme and some special guests (pictured) made the ambience lively and enjoyable. Sadly, the food fell short of what I was hoping for. I opted for the country fried steak with mash and gravy, and seasonal veg. The steak was tough, overly chewy, and inedible in places (lots of gristle), but the mash and veggies were good. In summary; great service, but the food needed to do a bit more. read more

The food was excellent from the burgers to the brisket! The ambiance was great. Our server, Hadley, was the best! Super friendly and when we asked a question she didn't know about the beers, she went and found out for us! Will definitely return! read more

Fun setting, really helpful and nice waitress. Food came quick and it was delicious. I had the brisket.

Friendly service, good country fried steak, brisket, and cold beer. Definitely would recommend it for a casual dinner night. read more

Kinda slow service even at the bar...understaffed on a summer Friday? Hmm IPA tap was all foam...that's a bust! Brisket sandwich wasn't anything to write home about. Kinda bland. Cowboy beans were better. I don't think I'll be back eventho I'll be in town for a week. Clean place, not too loud, patio was 1/2 full, decided to eat at the bar read more

The atmosphere and service were good. However, the food was too salty and below average. We ordered the fish and chips and caesar salad.

This place is an outdated little relic in Kanab. Definitely has some cool western history to it. With some love this restaurant would be a hot spot in town. The customer service was outstanding. We got there at 8:26 and they closed at 9. I asked if it's too late and they were so welcoming and said absolutely not. I give an extra kudos to them because they got a call ahead about some rodeo group that was gonna come just after 9. They kept the place open to feed them. And it was only MAYBE 12 people. Right at 9 a couple who obviously just finished hiking walked in. They told them they were normally closed by this time but they're lucky because they decided to stay open a little longer for another group so they'll serve them too. I thought that was pretty awesome because it takes an entire team of staff to be cool with staying later. And no one was disgruntled about it. All were happy. The food was good. And the pricing was decent. The portion sizes were decent. I would definitely go again while in Kanab. But it's nothing special food wise. Main reason I give 5 stars is because I think this place has a lot of potential and I hope they thrive as it was kinda dead when we went. Otherwise I would probably do 4 stars. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would!! very rude service and they had cockroaches crawling around everywhere food came out semi warm! dont Waste your time here read more

Long weekend with Travel around the state and stopped into the Iron Horse for a late lunch. Now this place is all about BBQ but could not resist an opportunity for some pastrami and the waitress liked it and since she was from back east had to give it a try. It was ok although the amount of meat was light and use to it being greasier/juicier. Back east it would have been piled high. It came with coleslaw and the other meal was fish and chips, was ok, think black bear is better. Also ordered onion rings and chicken wings to-go for a "by the fire" snack, both were good. Service was excellent and if back down this way will give the BBQ a try. This place seems like it's a big hit on weekends, indoor and outdoor seating plus bar area. Since I had a dog we could sit outside which was the key decision to eat here! read more

Food was "ok", not great. You are paying a lot of money for the atmosphere. I don't think I'd go back.

What a treat! The ambiance was perfect. A picture of John Wayne by our table. What more could you want? The service was amazing. A bus pulled up just before we got seated and we still felt welcome and taken great care of. We chose to have the pulled pork sandwich. First of all, the coleslaw was the best. Well done to the chef who made it. The pulled pork was so moist and full of flavor. The sauces they offer are a proper Carolina sauce which was full of vinegar and my favorite the sweet sauce that was so smoky. The fries were cooked so wonderfully. I wish I lived closer so I could work my way through the menu. If you're not familiar with BBQ food you're in for a treat. Enjoy! read more

Nice restaurant setup with good service. The brisket sandwich is great but the rest was just ok. I didn't get a photo but skip the cornbread. read more

The service was TERRIBLE! Never once asked for refills. We were empty! One order was wrong. Had to wait 20 minutes to get our waiter to let us pay so we could leave. Then when you are paying and leaving a tip the waiter stands there looking at you while you push the buttons in the handheld thing he's carrying. Very awkward. Food overall was just 'fair' at best. read more

My husband and I stopped in after traveling for little over a week across the country and this hands down is the best food we've had. I typically do not like bbq but I tried the brisket and was blown away. We both said we wished we could eat more. Kelci was our waitress and was phenomenal, super sweet and helpful. We loved the decor and service and hope to comeback one day. read more

Wanting a good dining experience in Knab last night. We both ordered the Country Fried Steak with 2 side dishes. As I was trying to cut my steak and eat it it wouldn't even cut through with a steak knife. So much gristle. My husband said his was fine and didn't seem tough. I kept trying to eat my steak and had to spit out pieces as I could not chew them up. I gave up. My husband tried a piece and did the same as me and had to spit it out. He said we should report it. We told our waiter and he could see that I hadn't eaten my steak. He said he would see what management would do. I told him I would be okay with paying for the side dishes and he said management doesn't work that way. He came back with an offer of ice cream. I told him I couldn't take ice cream. He offered dessert and I got a very small slice of cheese cake to go. The side dishes were good and the service was good. I wasn't asking for a free meal, just to pay for side dishes. I can say that we go through there a lot and won't be going back. The Country fried steak wasn't that good tasting and then to not be able to chew it. Not a great night out. read more

Such a nice experience being a solo traveler. Staff was very nice, food was great. Ribs just fell off the bone and loved the sweet bbq sauce. Prices were reasonable too. read more

We went out with friends for dinner. Lots of menu choices, everyone's food was delicious! Our server was friendly and did a great job too!

Cute place to eat. Large area but still may have a wait due to Waiters. They have a gift shop to browse while waiting. We ordered the chicken and ribs platter. The chicken breast was smothered, was really good but not the ribs. They covered the ribs in a rub. Really thick seasoning! We could not even hardly eat them. They were tender and meaty but hot from seasoning. And I love hot but not these. So just order chicken platter and you will be ok. read more

Entering the Ironhorse property it looks like a scene from the wild west.  Inside I admired the decor and breathed in the scent of bbq.  I relaxed to the flavor of soda water with a hint of lemon.  Refreshing after a long day seeing the sights at Zion National Park.  It was lovely there as it had snowed the day before and now the snow was melting.  Back to my meal. Onion rings had a crispy beer batter outside with tender onions inside.  Loved the fried onion flavor mixed with the salty beer batter. French fries were crispy and had a nice fried potato flavor. Pork ribs were tender and moist except for the part at the end.  Loved the black peppercorns used in the dry rub.  Nice smoky flavor from being smoked in a hi tech smoker with wood pellets. Desert was amazing.  Vanilla ice cream was creamy and full of sweet vanilla flavor.  Graham crackers were fresh and delicious.  Marshmallow was sweet and delicious.  Better than the Kraft Marshmallows I had when I was a kid.  Chocolate cake was extremely rich and I needed a drink after the chocolate overload. Server was nice and answered all the questions I had.  Very good service here. read more

45 min wait on a Saturday night, which truthfully isn't too bad for a small town. We were seated basically at their "closing time", which meant we needed to order basically immediately before the kitchen closed. Our server was extremely polite and maybe a bit overwhelmed with the amount of tables he had. He was quick both literally and figuratively, but toward the end of our meal when he was less busy he became much more personable and relaxed. The draft root beer is YUMMY! The wings were delicious, the bacon cheeseburger was tasty, and the pulled pork sandwich was mopped by my fiancé. We enjoyed our meal here and had no complaints outside of the wait time and rushed feeling to order. read more

We love this place Clean Good food Great service Good beer selection We went Friday evening and they had live music Norman Ray-the one man band He is awesome We will be back read more

I want to start by saying our server was a very sweet young lady who did what she could to take care of us. She was attentive and very apologetic when we told her our concerns. The issues we had are: The salads...it was as if the slimy lettuce was hidden at the bottom of the salad with fresh(er) lettuce on top. Pretty disgusting to get halfway through a salad and find that. The server removed the salads from the bill, but the damage was done. The brisket was said to be smoked, but I swear it was cooked in a crockpot. It was dry, and it was chopped up and shredded....never seen brisket served that way. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. We're unlikely to go here again, if we're ever in Kanab again, which is likely LOL. I'd give this place two stars, and one of them is solely for the server. She really was a gem read more

"Smoked" brisket has no flavor and was dry. Or Mac n cheese and garlic potatoes were both barely warm. Hubs ordered pulled pork, decent but no "smoked " flavor The corn bread was tiny and firm. Tasted like jiffy from the box Not a good experience. Definitely would not recommend read more

10 minutes for seating and they had tons of open tables but maybe short staffed? There is a great gift shop to explore while waiting. I got the wings and they are average. Buffalo is medium to spicy. A little on the dry side but prefer them like that so they were ok for me. My husband got the brisket and it was the best brisket him And I have ever had!!!! The brisket will melt in your mouth and their sauce is very good as well. I like how tangy it is. The cowboy beans are the best BBQ beans we have eaten!! The beans have perfect depth of flavor and spice!! Smokey and peppery. I love slaw and theirs lacks flavor. The apple in the slaw adds crunch but it was missing flavor. My husband says it's bland. The corn bread was tasty but firm and dry. The butter makes up for it because it's delicious!! The ambiance is great!! So much to look at. We would stop here again. I also recommend the Italian Pinot Grigio it's light with fruity essence. The draft root beer is okay, we would probably get regular root beer next time. read more

Our tour group stopped here for a lunch at 2pm. Not busy at all it was a buffet for us. They have off the menu ordering but we didn't have time. The soup of the day was a veggie pasta and nice and hot. The mashed potatoes were nicely warmed but then everything else was mildly warmed. The brisket and shredded pork would have been better had they been hot. BBQ sauce at the table was tasty. The mixed veggies were sad. Cornbread looked good but didn't have room for it. Two pies for desert. Took apple pie and enjoyed it. The place looks like fun both inside and out. read more

Did not enjoy my meal at all. The brisket was mushy. My husbands burger was smaller than we're used to.

Large restaurant w indoor/outdoor seating w a western pioneer backdrop. Great service. Split a 50/50 platter. The brisket was toooo dry though it had good flavor. The pulled pork was perfect. Liked the choices of BBQ sauces especially the Original and Mango Habanero. The unique crispy wedged like fries were delicious. Onion rings were good too. read more

Wow. How this place has fallen from grace. I come to Kanab often for biking or hiking or festivals. They claim to be dog friendly and this couldn't be any farther from the truth now. We walked to the front door, we were not in the door when the guy at the front door abrasively said "NO DOGS!" To which i replied, " I know they can't come inside but outdoors has alway been ok" to which he replied "NO!!!". We left and we'll never been back. We come here all the time for all sorts of things but this time was the film festival. We talked to several people and locals that said the same thing about how bad this place has slipped from what it once was. Avoid this place at all cost, way too many cool places to go here. We won't ever again. Sad to see a place fall so far from what it once was. To be very clear, this place IS NOT DOG FRIENDLY. read more
