Hands down the BEST brisket sandwich I've ever had. The maple syrup dip for the sweet potato fries absolutely sent me over the edge... I could not stop dipping. Honestly, I need that on chicken & waffles ASAP. If you get the opportunity, make a stop in Crosby for lunch or dinner. Everything on the menu looked amazing, and I had the hardest time deciding. So glad I went with the brisket sandwich because WOW... totally worth it. read more

Our experience was poor to mediocre. Onion rings were barely warm in spite of there being less than 10 people in the restaurant. My husband cut his burger in half to discover raw hamburger with a brown crust. While the server apologized and replaced the food, long after I finished my lackluster reuben, there was no offer to comp or offer a free dessert or drink. Overpriced and underwhelmed. read more

Great food, friendly service. Vegetarian options! While Crosby has changed over the years, it's nice to eat a meal and not have to listen to a meat raffle going on at the bar! read more

We had a very disappointing experience here tonight. I ordered the "award winning" braised short ribs which came with a potato and vegetables. The short ribs were good for the first 2 bites but that was all I got before I was hit with *ALL* the fat. The ribs were jiggling when the server set down the plate. I realize that this is a fattier cut of meat but where was the actual meat? I tried to fill up on the vegetables but they were seasoned with way too much minced garlic. Our bill was almost $70 for 2 people with a tip. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

Always a great place with fantastic, professional, and polite service. Minimal wait for drinks and food comes out in a timely fashion. I would recommend this place to anyone. Fantastic soups and the wedge salad is great! Especially with added chicken. Entrees always come with generous portions. The pizza is always amazing too. A small town like Crosby is lucky to have a place like this. read more

My only challenge was it was a little chilly in the restaurant. Give me a blanket and I will be back. The food was awesome as always and I always take my out of town friends here. Pizza, salad and a pot pie made it to our table. Full of flavor and good presentation. Great staff and easy to park on the street. Good beer list too. Again chilly this winter but no big deal. read more

I think the toughest part about giving someone one star is that I really don't do it. I walked in to this restaurant and told the girl behind the bar that we had just eaten up the street and we wanted to sit outside and have a glass of wine and a glass of beer and an appetizer. She said sure no problem. Tell us what you want and we'll bring it out to you. My husband and I sat down, and we place some packages from some stores where we had done some shopping on the table. We also set a small to go container on the table that had our leftover two slices of pizza in it. The waitress came out without our drinks and told us that we weren't allowed to eat our leftovers at the table and that if we did, she would have to scream at us, I thought was a very bad way of approaching this. She said the manager had told her to tell us that that we would have to be yelled at if we touched our to go container. I probably wouldn't have ordered two appetizers but my husband did. Our drinks came out and then our food came out and then the flies. I'm not talking a couple flies in just a few minutes. Our food was covered with flies. The waitress came back once and I said something about the flies and she said yeah and walked away. When she came out 15 to 20 minutes later, I told her we were thoroughly disgusted that we had to cover our food with napkins and we didn't eat because it was so disgusting there must've been 30 to 40 flies all over our drink glasses and our food. I was angry. The manager came out. She slammed the ticket in front of us and said you don't understand Minnesota this time of year apparently I don't. I told her if you had told me there was gonna be flies all over my food I wouldn't have sat out here. Then she started screaming at me and I said I'll make sure I write a review and let people know how nasty this place is. It's either dirty and you're not taking care of things or you just don't care to tell your customers not to sit outside because it was a fly hatch. I have to give them kudos because my husband like the dip, but he didn't eat much of it because of the flies. Can you imagine you pick up a piece of bread to put in your dip and there's four flies sitting on it. I'm not exaggerating and I'm not trying to make this restaurant look bad I'm just saying no customer service from the owner manager and although they didn't charge us for food that's OK cause we really didn't eat it. We ate some of the dip. We took the chips back to feed to the birds in the park but other than that, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. As a suggestion, she may want to have someone come out and pick up the cigarette butts off the ground that we're all around our table. I didn't take any pictures. I don't think it's necessary. For the people that know my reviews and know me I never say a bad thing about any restaurant unless it's absolutely necessary. I think I'm a reasonable person, but she was a total bitch. If you look at my reviews, I never give somebody one star unless they absolutely deserve it. I've been doing this for a long time and it really upsets me that this woman was yelling at me in front of all the other customers. I grab my things and left. My husband went to pay she wouldn't let him and we Moved on down the street. The manager told me she was the owner. Also if she is, this is all on her not her staff. read more

The perfect treat after a 9 mile hike. We started our meal with two great IPAs, which set the tone for a fantastic experience. Our waitress recommended the brisket tacos, and they did not disappoint--they were absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the brisket sandwich, which was also terrific. The chips were amazing, perfectly crispy, flavorable and complemented the meal beautifully. One highlight was the bourbon barbecue sauce; it had a wonderful kick and depth of flavor that really elevated the meal. The service was exemplary from start to finish. Our waitress was attentive, and when my husband accidentally left his phone at the table, she ran it out to us--truly going above and beyond. We'll definitely be back! read more

I mostly like this place a lot but have a few small quibbles. I'll cover those first. The door set up is tough in the winter. Since there is only one door (no vestibule) every time the door opens it's pretty cold in the front of the restaurant. The menus is not huge. There are a few appetizers, 3 salads several hand helds, pizzas and a number of entrees. Our last trip we were not up for a full meal and had a little trouble finding something lighter that we haven't had. Now the good. The food is across the board good. I love having some chef driven, ingredient focused places and this really checks this box. We had a really good Ferfie (Patty) Melt and the Vinegar Cod sandwich. The cod was excellent and the toppings fresh. The lightly battered fries are great, the side salads are large and loaded with veggies. The dressings are homemade and universally tasty. We have also recently had the Big Cuyuna Burger (juicy patties, root beer flavor, bacon, onions and addicting smoked bacon ranch dipping sauce). The Dill Chicken Sandwich is moist and flavorful (not very dill flavored). The Reuben is excellent and all locally crafted. The beer bread is great. Overall we will continue to go here despite quibbles. read more

This place is a win if you are looking for bomb food in Crosby. Great patio as well. Right in the heart of Crosby. They had a great farmers market next door on Saturday's. I recommend the chicken sandwich - so crispy! Beer battered fries as well as the sweet potato fries were five stars for sure. Dinner menu looks really good - the lunch menu is very limited compared to the dinner menu. Full bar and yummy drinks as well. Cheers. read more

Absolutely Impressed! Just ate there last night for dinner, it is now my favorite place in the lakes area, bar none! I think I should have been a food and restaurant critic in another time, ( because I myself make such delicious meals, and I want to open a food truck or restaurant) but this place made me excited to go out to eat again. The portions are hands down spot on! The service was impeccable, the cost was better than most places nowdays, especially when you factor in the portion size! I will be making this my go to place to eat out from now on, and we drove from Merrifield to eat there. I seen the Facebook page with their photos of plates of food the day before and I had to go the next day. I was blown away and kept saying Wow! And to think I just ate at the Crosslake, MN Zorbaz two nights before last night and had a pathetic pregnant burrito for $13.50 that they thought what they should do is shrink the size of the burrito from when I used to frequent the establishment. Talk about a let down that establishment is. Who does that, shrinks their food and raises their prices. Actually irritated me when it came to the table. what a joke! The burrito you get a taco bell is bigger than there pregnant burrito. I won't be going back there again. But I would drive a long distance to eat at the Iron Range Eatery again. The ambiance of the place with the decor of the inside and outdoor seating is incredible. I can't rant and rave enough about the place. As long as they put out that kind of food and service, I'll be back. I already, since yesterday, have shared the experience and place with two others as soon as it turned 8 am. Way to go guys, keep it up and you see me as a regular! read more

Food and service were pretty good. The restaurant was typical of a small town eatery. The seating was a bit cramped. All and all I would recommend stopping by for a filling meal. read more

We were looking for a quick bite after a morning at Cuyuna and the menu at Iron Range looked delicious! We arrived around 4pm in a Saturday, plenty of open tables, and we didn't have to wait for a seat. The waitress was very friendly and quickly got us waters and took our orders - then we sat, for over 50 minutes waiting for our food. It wasn't just our food, every one around us also waited a very long time for food. Once we did get our food it was delicious! Everything was super flavorful and tasty but waiting an hour was a bummer. My husband got the Bananarama Pizza and said it was super tasty, and he loved the crust. I got the nachos and they were great too. The queso was the perfect flavor and consistency, they were a little light with the brisket and guacamole but there was plenty of queso - enough to take home! Overall it was OK. If the server wasn't so friendly, it'd be 3-stars but she saved it. read more

We stopped for lunch, and ordered a burger well done, no pink, and pretzel bites. The pretzel bites were over-fried, dry on the inside, and looked and tasted like burnt toast. The burger was totally pink, and when I showed the waitress and said, "this is pretty pink," she paused, said "that's good," and walked away. Our $55 lunch was a huge disappointment. read more

Have eaten at this place multiple times before. I can honestly say they have gone downhill, food tasted ok enough but the execution was very lacking. The main reason for the low score was the service, absolutely was lacking! I guess the waitresses are too concerned about socializing with each other or checking their cellphones to bother with customers. read more

Just have a beer at this place. I had a pot roast with a baked potato and rice. The baked potato was never cooked and the rice had never been warmed up. I let the waitress know and she brought it back to warm it up. It came back with the cheese still not melted and now the pot roast was dried out. Talked with manager and they she said being my buddy paid for it already she wasn't going to do anything about it. read more

6 of us went to iron range and they took down my number to call when the table was ready. Got the short rib and the meat was so tender it was really good! They have a good beer selection, and my friends steaks with chimchurri looked good. The pizza unfortunately was not great minus a star. read more

The short rib entree was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful, the au gratin and grilled asparagus, and black cherry Manhattan were also delicious. Portions were large, so I'll have at least one more dinner from the leftovers. Jennifer was tending bar and serving. She was welcoming, efficient, and provided helpful suggestions. I'm from Florida and am working in nearby Aitkin for at least the next 3 months. This was my 1st visit, and it definitely won't be my last. Thank you! read more

The food was impressive. All the Crosby restaurants we've tried thus far have been disappointing to say the least. We were all happy with our food and that's a tall order from 3 self proclaimed foodies, we are a hard crowd to please usually. I will DEFINITELY be going back again. read more

I fear this restaurant is my new Roman Empire, if i didn't live 6hr away I would have this every week. The arugula squash salad was perfect, and the ribs with mashed potatoes matched. Service was friendly and authentic, cozy & welcoming ambiance. 10/10 meal read more

The photos included are from my very first visit, when the Iron Range Eatery first opened! The food was delicious and has been every time. I also have tried the lettuce wraps, and the lobster seafood pizza. Anytime I'm in the Crosby area this is my go to place. The only con would be the customer service. The last time I visited was the day after the 4th of July so it was pretty busy. The service was slow, even getting our drinks room at-least 10 minute. Even though the customer service experience needs improvement I would still highly suggest this place if you are in the area because the food is quality! read more

The service was slow and inattentive. We waited 45 minutes for the food, after we ordered, and the food came out wrong. The burger was burnt, the buttered noodles were in a pool of oil, the vegetables were mushy and oily. The four of us all rated this experience a 1 out of 5, based on the food quality and service. We did really like the ambiance, which is why we are rating this place a 1 read more

Up from two stars to three. The weird seat yourself vs be seated is still a thing. A simple sign would help loads. Was greeted promptly once we chose our table for this lunch visit. Good COVID protocols, was worried as much of the area has lax protocols at best, felt safe here. Good spacing with the tables, staff wore masks and wore them properly. Same issues as before, food took forever to arrive. My Ruben was not great. The corned beef was tough and oily. Fries were flavorless. My sister enjoyed here Turkey provolone sandwich and nice enjoyed her basil BLT. Kiddo had chicken fingers, and he ate the up. Both kids left a lot of fries on their plates, which says a lot. Overall it was a decent enough experience, I'll likely try again. read more

This was our 2nd visit this summer, giving it another try after a so-so visit earlier. Their menu relies on pickled or caramelized onions, and I'm not an onion person. Thought I could go for the braised short ribs, but the braising sauce is made with onions. So I switched to the fried cod sandwich that I saw on their website menu...sorry that got switched to an Ahi Tuna sandwich. Okay, I'll have the $28 walleye entree, at least that comes with their special Au gratin potatoes...sorry we ran out (at 7:45?). They could substitute fries. Sure. No discount offered. Meal was delivered and fries were the bottom of the basket of their curly fries, maybe leftover from someone's Arby's lunch. I should say the Walleye was very good or this might have been a two star rating. My wife was disappointed in her Hail Caesar salad. At least that's what she ordered and we paid for. It seemed more like the mixed greens salad with big leafy not romaine lettuce, and whole cherry tomatoes the size of small Roma tomatoes (tomatoes were not even on the menu description). It was supposed to come with a Parmesan crisp and Parmesan cheese. She found a sprinkle of Kraft grated Parmesan on one of the lettuce leaves, but that was it. We will not be going back for a third strike. read more

My first night in Crosby and dinner at the Iron Range Eatery was like an out of the park home run, off the first pitch in a baseball game. The restaurant covered all the "C's" ; clean, comfortable , casual, and I might even add contemporary. There was a killer patio made out of stone and steel that I wish was open. The menu really tipped the scale positively. It featured so many creative and tempting dishes I really struggled to pick just one. So I ordered two. Two appetizers. I ordered the Crab cakes and Avocado Toast. The Crab Cakes were good, not real bready with a delicious citrus Harrisa tartar sauce. Very satisfying. However, the "Everything" Avocado toast rocked! I've never had anything like this. Such an interesting combination of flavors. I'm not going to list the ingredients, you'll need to discover that yourself, but I'm going to try to copy this because I don't want to wait to come back to Crosby to have this again. read more

Food was good. A/C duct was dripping condensation on our table. Place is kind of loud. Needs some soft surfaces to absorb noise.

Great lunch specials, good menu, good service. Nice outdoor dining area. Always a favorite stop when visiting Crosby.

Great food, great environment and amazing service. If you get a chance, meet the bartender, Ali. She's one of the best in the biz.

So honestly, my rating fluctuates between 5 to 1 depending on what part of the visit I examine. The atmosphere/vibe is nice, service was great (I even tried a sample of the hard kombucha), the fresh bowl of tomato & basil soup was excellent. The thing that really brought down the rating was their pizza. Yeah-I LOVE wood fired pizza (a little burned is ok) but I think our choice is what made a good pizza into a soggy mess. We chose the Korean Pizza. The outside of the pizza was great, but all of the middle of the pie was inedible (believe me-we tried). Maybe it was the cold kim chi piled ontop of the middle of the pizza. If I were a chef d'cuisine, I would recommend you order the Korean with the kim chi ON THE SIDE. read more
