Me and my parents had a delicious meal. I ordered their Wagyu Smashburger with a fried egg and it was delectable. So much flavor, juicy burgers and overall fantastic. My parents ordered a chicken with chimichurri sandwich and a grilled burger. I had a bite of each and they tasted good and my parents enjoyed their meals as well. Prices aren't too bad and it's really nice inside. The bar is big with a lot of seats and the whole staff was friendly. read more

5 stars across the board. Busy Friday night, made a reservation, promptly seated. Burgers, apps and chicken dish were all excellent. Our server Tyler was great as were the food runners and the house manager who checked on us during our meal. Despite being at full capacity the ticket times were on point and the food and beverage quality was perfect. Clean rest rooms, plenty of parking and a friendly host staff getting us seated made for a great experience. Can't wait to return again. read more

Updated review. This place is still pumping and jumping! Isaiah S. was such a delight to be served by. Very knowledgeable, told me about the Newport restaurants points app, fun ways to eat the dishes and gave the best description and inside scoop on all foods. Everything was seasoned well, and hot. Our only take away was if the porkchops had something with a different texture added to it. The bread pudding w the ice cream was fantastic as well, sweet gooey goodness. This is an accessible restaurant, with a ramp, automatic doors and handicap parking. It's a shared parking lot still, but there are signs indicating where you can or can't park. Low low music. Lighting is dim, space to walk between tables, clean bathrooms. read more

Our party of 5 visited Iron Works for dinner last night and had a great experience here. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our server, Jenna, visited our table soon after we were seated and brought us water. We were waiting for other members of our party, and she never made us feel rushed or pressured. While waiting, we put in drink orders and the "Lavender Fields Forever" cocktail that I ordered (Rhodium Gin, lavender syrup, fresh lemon juice, snap pea simple syrup) was so delicious, and garnished with a beautiful sprig of lavender flowers. We ordered two appetizers: Point Judith Calarmari and Corn Arepas. The calamari had too many tentacles and not enough rings for me, but the arepas were excellent. The cornmeal base was crispy and hot, and there was just the right amount of meat and toppings. For entrees, our group ordered the Chimichurri Grilled Chicken sandwich, The rigatoni with pink sauce and sausage with crispy chicken as an add on, the short ribs over mashed potatoes, the Wood-Grilled Bone-In Pork Chop, and the Rib Eye Steak. We all enjoyed our entrees. It is evident that Iron Works uses high quality ingredients and puts a great amount of care into the preparation fo their food. We split three desserts amongst the five of us: The flourless chocolate torte, the cheesecake, and the Banoffee Sundae. The flourless torte was rich and very chocolately, and the cheesecake was very good as well. I'm not a fan of bananas, so I didn;t try the Sundae, but the friend who ordered it enjoyed it. After dinner, we sat and chatted for awhile,, and we never felt rushed or pressured to leave. This was a very enjoyable evening in a great restaurant environment with delicious food. read more

Visiting got room service in the Hilton from Ironworks. I was extremely pleased. Had the clam chowder and shaved beef and buffalo chicken dip I saved for later. The chowder was what I expected it was really good. But nothing over the top just satisfying and good. The shaved beef where I'm from it's a cheesesteak with fries. The roll was good and steak on point. The fries were under cooked I like them crispy. The dip was my fav! Really awesome for snack with a movie. I'll order again tonight read more

Iron Works is a casual atmosphere where you an get very good food. Cloth napkins, well trained staff, chef curated foods. A hostess will seat you with menus. Your waitress will stop by to fill your water glass and take a drink order. The dining room is a mix of booth, banquette, table and bar seating. So options. During out last visit we ordered a sandwich and fish tacos. Each came with a side of choice. The presentation is lovely. Heavy flatware is wrapped in a cloth napkin. The waitstaff keep a good eye on you throughout your meal. Parking is shared with the hotel. restrooms are gender specific and updated. Acoustic tiles on the ceiling help keep the sound down. Iron Works is an excellent choice for good food in a relaxed atmosphere. read more

Look, if you like phenomenal food and burgers that genuinely make you question why you ever ate anywhere else, Iron Works Tavern is 10/10. Every single bite goes hard. My only actual warning: this place is popular for a reason, which means it gets busy. If you get seated inside on a prime night, prepare for an intimate dining experience. The tables are compact enough that you're practically part of the conversation at the next table over. By the end of the meal, you might accidentally help the folks beside you make a major life decision or split a dessert with them. read more

Like clockwork, you can find me at Iron Works the moment I hop off the plane. Each visit has been consistently pleasant and tasty. The restaurant is conveniently located across the street from the Providence airport and connected to the Hilton Hotel. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare since it's tied to the hotel and functions as a commuter spot. Peak days are nuts for parking. Buuuuuuuuuuut once you walk inside, all of that fades away. You step into a modern, cozy space that immediately relaxes you, paired with great service and a perfectly clean environment. My server has regularly been Brianna. She is very sweet, personable, and engaging. She knows the menu well and always makes great recommendations. After coming here a few times, my go-to drink is the Tawny Ember. Chef's kiss! I've also ordered the Brussels sprouts, grilled swordfish, and fish tacos. All great choices. And honestly, it's Rhode Island, you really can't go wrong with seafood. Stop by and give them a shot. read more

Met a few colleagues here for dinner around 7:45 and had a reservation. Arrived a few minutes before and was sat promptly. Not too busy for a Tuesday evening. The table shared the wings and buffalo chicken dip and I got the braised short rib with veggie and mashed potatoes. The wings were crispy and had great flavor. The buffalo dip was also tasty and had a slight kick to it. The Brazos Ed short ribs were decent, a bit dry in a few spots but when mixed with the mashed potatoes was fine. Service was great and very patient as we were catching up and took close to 30 min before we were ready to order. Food came out quickly and drinks were refreshed before being empty. Restaurant decor was modern and simple. Clean restrooms and good vibes. read more

Loved my experience here! Came around lunch and it was packed. Not an issue - my friend and I were still sat within 5 ish minutes. Our server was smiley and delightful. We ordered wings and two drinks, cocktail and a glass of wine. The wings had to be cooked specially because my friend has a seafood allergy. Fun fact they fried the wings in fish grease. Doesn't have any affect on the flavor of the wings. Just their style. The wings were amazing. Meat fell right off the bone. For an entree I ordered a fish taco meal and my bestie did a burger with mash potatoes. Again options limited due to cross contamination. She devoured her meal and she it was good. My tacos were good and filling. Decent about of meat filling and I liked the crispiness of the fry. As a visitor to the state, I'd return here! read more

This last time, I got their grilled salmon. I asked for roasted veggies instead of the carb loaded mashed potatoes and that was not a problem with my server nor the kitchen. I ordered the fish to be cooked medium. The dish was really tasty and it was well made. The veggies were just OK, not great but the salmon was something I would get again. My server was very nice and very prompt on all requests. Lots of parking right outside the door. This is a great tavern-style choice if you are near the TF Green airport or anywhere in the Warwick area. Also, very easy to get on/off from the highway. Easy ! read more

Came here for lunch and had a great experience. It was our first time at this restaurant and our waiter was amazing! His name was Patrick and he made some awesome recommendations. He was very helpful, not pushy at all, and had a great attitude! We would definitely come back just for that experience. But the food was delicious too! We got the calamari for an appetizer, and a burger with fries and a fish dish. Everything was delicious. read more

Found this spot close to the Providence airport and were so blown away by the quality of food and friendly staff. There is a hotel close that has lots of parking spots but we're able to find some spot a short walk away. The vibe is industrial chic with pretty gold lighting and brick walls. Our group tried the pupusas with pork for an app and loved the cheese in the dough and saucy pork. Salads were awesome and chicken sandwiche was dynamite. Some other stand outs were the nachos, the truffle fries, and lettuce wraps. Their pineapple soaked vodka drink is not to miss. So flavorful and not overly sweet. Could have had many more. Jenna N was the BEST waitress! read more

The ambiance was a teensy bit loud for my tastes, but still great, especially since I was there with a large group. The service was excellent; our server was amazing. The food was good, but not as amazing as I had thought or hoped. Of course, this is my opinion and you are welcome to disagree. In fact, I'm happy for you if you had a better time. The menu read very fancy and culinarily interesting, but for me at least, that just meant they took what would be great, but overcomplicated it, made it too foodie. No matter what I ordered I would have had to change something. I got the chicken sandwich. I'm in the 10% of the population where cilantro tastes like soap, but cilantro is mixed into the slaw that is the primary thing on the sandwich. I also asked for light chili mayo because I don't like too much. If that was light mayo, then maybe they normally serve it in a bowl of chili mayo. It was 2 relatively large, very fried, chicken breasts. I immediately took one off because I knew I would make myself sick eating so much. Frankly, it basically tasted like a fried and chili mayo sandwich. All the chicken flavor was completely drowned out by the fried taste. I don't think I'd order that again. I swapped out the sides for the Gruyère mashed potatoes. They were very good, but they got really dry and starchy by the end. I got the espresso mock-tini, which was basically milk and a shot of espresso in a martini glass. I could have downed it all in one gulp. It was nonalcoholic, but it was still priced the same as the alcoholic stuff. Bottom line, if the company were paying again, I'd give it another try, but if I lived here I don't think I'd come here again on my own. Still awesome service though, and plenty of people love it, so hopefully it works better for you! read more

Iron Works - From the parking lot. - American Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

My husband and I were here for dinner a few nights ago. We had driven down to RI for a funeral the next day and were staying at the Hyatt Hotel which is just a stone's throw from this restaurant. We went in without reservations at about 7pm. The place was hopping! The young man standing at the host station was very nice but unfortunately he estimated the wait at close to an hour. The bar was packed so that didn't seem like a great place to wait....plus neither of us is drinking alcohol these days. We did put our names on the wait list and went back out to our car to figure out our next move. We were still deciding whether to wait it out or go elsewhere and luck was with us. Only 15 minutes had elapsed and my phone pinged alerting us a table was ready! We walked back in. I wish I had gotten the host's name but he told us he saw us sitting out in the car in the parking lot and was "able to move things around for us." We were brought to a lovely booth in a quieter section of the restaurant. Let me pause here to say the building this restaurant is in is beautiful. It is an old brick building that was indeed the home of an Iron Works company back in the 1800s. The inside was charming with open ceilings and exposed ductwork. There are many restaurants with this aesthetic but most of the details in this place appear to be the real deal. The menu is American food classics. Tom and I each ordered a bacon cheeseburger with side Caesar salads. The waitress who did tell us her name but I've forgotten was the sweetest. (Long lightish brown hair in a high ponytail that night). The food runner was a very young looking guy, a bit addled. He went to put down my burger but before he did so I asked if the burger he was giving me was the one cooked to"medium"....he said "oops no" and he swapped the plates presumably giving me my medium burger and then Tom his medium-rare burger. One bite in and I realized he in fact had given me the medium rare burger. Dear God. Is this so hard to figure out in the kitchen with just two plates of food to bring out? Food runners: be sure you know what you are holding before you serve them. This wasn't the biggest error for us but it could have been with someone with a food allergy. Addled young food runner also asked me if I wanted freshly grated black pepper on my salad but walked away before he asked Tom if he wanted any. The burgers were delicious with a nice fire grilled char on them. The accompanying Caesar salads were forgettable. They had unremarkable iceberg lettuce, a not very good nor convincing Caesar dressing, a crouton or two, maybe some cheese and no anchovies. What!? The ambiance was lovely, the burgers were good. The salads were not good. The vibe was nice. It might have been very noisy in there but the location of our booth toward the back was perfect for us. Toward the end of our meal, the manager came by as he roamed the restaurant to inquire about our meals which I thought was nice. The biggest shoutout to the young male host that night who got us in the restaurant in a timely manner. He told us he is a senior at Johnson and Wales University studying I believe he said: "Hospitality." I think this delightful young man is in the right field. I wish him well. read more

This place is always a home run. Our bartender Lauren was amazing! Her service was attentive and so friendly, and her recommendations were spot on. We started with the must-order shrimp with cornbread, just an amazing sauce & fresh cornbread flavor combo with tender juicy shrimp. I had their pork chop which was also cooked perfectly, so juicy and flavorful. The bar seating was active and comfortable. All in all a great experience for my son & I, that I can't wait to repeat. Thank you Lauren & kitchen for your excellent work! read more

Service was really good, probably one of the best pork chops I've ever had. Ambiance was cool , the place was packed for a Tuesday.

We were in need of a lunch spot as we drove through Rhode Island, and a quick yelping brought us to Iron Works (no offense to them, but our first choice didn't have a table for two hours, which would've extended our road trip too long for our comfort). This big, bright, industrial chic spot attached to a hotel had plenty of seating, and we were quickly ushered into a nice booth. Not only that, but they had these tiny "wikki stix" toys for my girls that are a very large step up from a couple stubby crayons. We parents appreciate you, Iron Works. While I wouldn't call Iron Works homey, I wasn't sad about the efficiency inherent in their vaguely corporate vibe. Our server Sabrina was excellent, and she guided us through a very solid meal. The menu is full of a lot of classic staples, cheffed up a bit. My younger kid ate chicken fingers and fries because that's mostly all she eats currently, and the rest of us shared the birria ramen, the smoked wings, and some brussels sprouts. The brussels were excellent. A little bacon, a little apple, some cheese and apple cider vinegar for acid, we were all a fan. The wings were a little overfried, but this is vastly preferable to undercooked, flabby wing fat. They called the sauce at the bottom of the bowl a "buffalo emulsion," and between that and the bleu cheese, it had all the flavors I wanted. The birria ramen tasted pretty good, but I personally felt like it's not a combination I need in my life. It didn't really hit the birria spot, nor the ramen spot for me, but take that with a grain of salt because my wife and daughter loved it. As they tell me often, perhaps my opinion is just wrong. All in all, a very solid meal. Thanks Iron Works. read more

We frequently order takeout here for office functions and I cannot say enough about the quality of the food and the accuracy of the orders. Everything is always neatly packed and labeled for easy distribution once the food is distributed in the office. Top pics are the beet salad with a protein - the steak and salmon are always perfectly cooked, and the crispy chicken sandwich portion size is generous, and the cooking preparation is terrific. I haven't yet had an opportunity to dine in, but if you're looking for a great spot to order a nice lunch for pick up for the work crew, this place can't be beat. read more

I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed it. I recently came for a baby shower and it was great. The upstairs space was pretty and spacious. The bartenders and servers were all really kind too. The dressing on my salad was delicious and I had a tasty salmon dish for my main. The dessert options were equally tasty too. I have some dietary restrictions and felt like I wasn't limited on what I could eat! read more

I really enjoy Iron Works atmosphere and service! I think that the food is delicious when you order off the menu, but their buffet style or catered events are a little lackluster. I would love to see more vegetarian options that aren't so reliant upon mushrooms. You gotta get the bread pudding! read more

Iron Works - Vegan charcuterie - American Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

Ambiance is excellent, but my meal was quite literally inedible. I ordered a Caesar salad with shrimp and a side of truffle fries. Most egregious: the shrimp that came with the Caesar salad was POPCORN SHRIMP coated in SWEET-AND-SOUR sauce. I truly couldn't believe it. Why wouldn't the server at least warn me? To add insult to injury, my salad was overdressed and soggy. Also, the dressing was revolting. I don't mind anchovies for flavor, but the dressing tasted like an anchovy puree. I think it was maybe past its prime. I had one bite and couldn't continue. Inedible. And the fries. The parmesan truffle fries were drenched in mayonnaise??? I don't really care for mayo but I don't mind a drizzle or an aioli dipping sauce. However, the mayo to fry ratio was literally 2:1. I tried to wipe it off and it was still like a mayo-fry soup. Inedible. I took everything to go and just trashed it. I've NEVER done that before. This is a delayed review (meal was a few months ago) and I'm still rattled by how bad it was. read more

I enjoyed one of the most delicious meals, ever, at Iron Works, today! It was the third time I have ordered and loved the Roasted Cauliflower Lentil Fritters, as an appetizers, and they are always an Epicurean delight! For my main course, I tried, for the first time, the Wood Grilled Salmon. It was the most delicious array of flavors I have ever experienced in my life! The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the various vegetables and sauces underneath and surrounding the salmon were extremely pleasing to my palate! I highly recommend both these items from the menu! My waitress, Jeanine was so very pleasant and welcoming, efficient and attentive - kudos to her!!!! I cannot wait to return to Iron Works! read more

I had an auto service appointmemt at a business neaby which required an hour and a half of wait time, so I decided to grab a lunch here to kill some time. It has a warm, industrial vibe to it, feeling like a former factory. The vibe/decor is the best part of this place. Staff is second best. Food is worst part. I had the shaved steak sandwich and a caesar salad. Prices here are on the high side, even in this crazy inflationary economy. Especially on the entrees, which average around $30. Sandwiches are in the $16 - $20 range and a burger is (get ready for this ... ) $26! The biggest thing is nothing seemed seasoned. Everything was incredibky bland and blah. The steak sandwich had no beefy flavour ... no salt or spice. It just tasted like bread. Even the cheese was pretty bland and non-descript. They don't give you salt or pepper, so you can't even add a little flavour on your own. I was expecting steak strips that were a little thicker and meatier ... but this was the same stuff you'd find at any sub shop for much less. They get some props for mixing the cheese into the steak on the griddle. I also found the portion to be pretty skimpy. I was honestly still hungry after eating the sandwich, which had much more bread than steak. I'd say you gey about 1 cup of actual beef. Also ... a sprinkle of shredded lettuce. Huh? The fries were completely un-seasoned and tasted of bland potato. Ceasar salad ... bland. Dressing was like a white mayonaise with no garlic, no lemon. Bland, bland, bland. Also, the salad was made with mostly the tops of the romaine ... not the nice, crunchy middle part of the leaf ... the leathery, flexible top part. I've never seen a caesar salad being made with the top of romaine. The beer selection is good and served cold. They have a good hipstery mix of cocktails and an okay bourbon selection. It makes up for the bland, tasteless food. The gentleman next to me had a large, yummy looking order of nachos. I mentioned to him, 'Wow. I am having serious order fomo looking at those!' He kind of shrugged and said, 'Eh. They are okay.' The food here seems to look a lot better than it tastes. It is quite a shame as this is the type of place we'd come back to often because of the cool vibe. (Even if parking is a bitch ... not sure why a place like this in the middle of a neighborhood with its own lot would need valet only) The staff was good and capable, although our bartender seemed like she might be having a grumpy day. read more

Haven't been here in years since this restaurant was acquired by the Newport restaurant group. We sat at the bar and the restaurant is very loud, busy, and feels very chaotic. Definitely not a place I would recommend for a quiet date night. The service was just ok. The 2 female bartenders were not very friendly. We were never asked if we needed anything or how the food was. Our dirty plates were never removed until we asked for the check. Some of the problem with these 2 bartenders was their preoccupation with the seating arrangements at the bar. This is the first Newport restaurant group bar that I've ever been to that has a waiting list. The entire scene was just distracting and frankly annoying. I've never seen so many people arguing over seats and patrons moving seats like this. When we questioned the bartender about what was going on we were told there is a waiting list for the bar and just her and the other female bartender knew who was on the list and the order. Personally I just think this made matters worse with people walking up and taking empty seats then being asked to move for someone on the waiting list. Both couples on either side of us were also complaining about the seating. Overall the food was very good, but it just wasn't a relaxing experience that I want to return to. read more

The ambience of this place was beautiful and nice but my experience here was not the best. Our waiter forgot our drinks and tried to bring out an appetizer we never ordered, no big deal everyone makes mistakes. We got our drinks which my margarita was just okay I give it a 6/10. We ordered food I got the braised beef short rib which was ok I give it a 6/10 as well and my boyfriend ordered a burger and fries he gave it a 7/10. The reason for my review is the service was awful our waiter at first started as attentive but after we got our food he was no where to be found. He never came back to our table and we had to ask another waiter to bring us our check. The place was not even that busy around the time we went it was about 9:00pm. Then our waiter finally brings the check after waiting over 30 minutes and ask us if we were apart of newport restaurant groups and when we said no he said okay and walked away without saying anything else or have a goodnight or thanks for coming. Which isn't a big deal to me but his service was not friendly and he was barely available. The food was ok but the reason for my low rating is how slow and bad the service was. read more

I'm so in love with this place. I love the shrimp and cornbread but this time I came back for the calamari. It's so crispy, with addicting aioli sauce.

The ambiance is great and our next table over neighbors, with their beautiful one month old baby boy, were adorable. But I have to give a shout out to our wonderful waitress, Brianna, who remembered me from a past visit . I felt like Norm on Cheers. She's wonderful,attentive and always smiling.
