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.

Tawny Ember

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.

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.

Crispy Fish Tacos
Khadijah H.

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!

From the parking lot.

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!

Wood-Grilled Salmon* with roasted vegetables
Robert S.

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 !

Pupusas with pork
Em S.

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!

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.

Birria Ramen
Peter D.

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.

Once again an excellent dining experience. Friendly staff, great menu with lots of healthy and vegetarian options. Wait staff was warm with the perfect balance of attentiveness and space. Highly recommended.

Wood Wood-Grilled Salmon*
Robert I.

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!

Small, bland steak sandwich and leafy bland salad.
Adam B.

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.

I don't usually have plain pancakes but these were very tasty and fluffy. Both of our coffees, hot and iced, came with free refills. We wished the staff a great vacation and left, knowing that this is our new "goto" breakfast restaurant.
