food here taste fresh and delicious! It's a bit pricey but worth it for sure. the cider here is amazing as well, i enjoyed the black tea lemonade the most but the OG was also fantastic. this place is on a farm and has a great atmosphere with a fantastic outdoor seating arrangement. there's some goats to feed nearby as well as a good view of all the chickens. super unique and a 10/10 place to grab some fresh food, homegrown cider as well as hang out with the family. service here was great too, very friendly and when they ran out of mac they offered us a replacement item or refund with many apologies. overall if you're nearby i'd 100% recommend read more

Ironbound Hard Cider - Cideries Near Me - Asbury, New Jersey

Jersey Devil Pasta dish. Best pasta dish I've ever eaten in my 53 years. Expertly curated and each ingredient cooked perfectly. A little heat like it stated, but as someone who does not enjoy spicy, it fell more on the savory side of heat. Everyone needs to eat this meal as soon as possible. Highly recommend getting it with the chicken- again perfectly prepared. Beautifully presented but took pic halfway through out of sheer adoration. read more

The food is farm-to-table table. There is also a mini-market where you can purchase the very same fresh produce and ciders you can order. The outside seating areas are gorgeous. They also have covered outside seating with a bar. For the area and Th freshness, its somewhat on the level of a Whole Foods pricing schema, but as it is a farming collective, the farms receive more of a share of the proceeds. read more

I wanted to love this place. It's beautiful inside and out. The outside seating has lots of firepits and sectioned off areas. And the inside dining area feels like it wants to be casual and family friendly but to me, it just seemed stuffy and high end. I was greeted upon entering by a nice gentleman. I told him it was my first time so he explained that I'm allowed to bring food if I drank outside otherwise, the dining room was for their food only. They serve Cape May Brewery beer in addition to their cider. I love that. What a nice partnership! The two servers at the bar were cold and aloof. The Milk Buns were not so pillowy. They were warm on the outside but still cold on the inside. The honey butter was FANTASTIC!! And my cider flight was DELICIOUS! Not to mention I had the most amazing view to enjoy them with! read more

Iron Bound is consistently a good experience. Over the years this farm has evolved into a culinary destination with ingredients as local as it gets. The meats on the menu are from the farm! The uniqueness of the cider is the highlight of the meal that is already exceptional. It's also a place you can feel good about supporting. The mission of Iron Bound since its founding has been to be good stewards of the land and good humans all around. The energy here is as immaculate as the food. If you are coming from a distance pack a cooler with ice to take home the home grown meats. The breakfast sausage is our favorite! read more

Very cool cidery/winery. This is a great little farm to go with a few friends and enjoy a flight of cider and hang out. There's live music on certain nights and firepits if you need to warm up for a bit. They also have food trucks to grab some grub and it isn't over priced. All of the staff was friendly and talkative. Make sure you pop into the store and grab something to go. read more

4.5 stars I had tried a can of Ironbound's Original Hard Cider at a bar in the past and had not been overly impressed by its dry flavor; I was much more of a sweet cider person. However, we happened to be out in near the ciderhouse recently, and after seeing pictures of their gorgeous grounds, I thought it would be worth visiting and giving the pressed apple drinks another chance. The cidery was actually located on an 108-acre organic, regenerative farm where they produced their own apples and grew other various herbs and vegetables. We had the option of sitting inside the ciderhouse or outside, either within their large tent or under one of their umbrella-covered picnic tables or Adirondack chairs. While there were bar and wait staff inside, sitting outside meant having to go back and forth to their bar, but that was fine for us. We ordered some food and were given a beeper that would let us know when it was ready for pick-up. In the meantime, we started with beverages. I was driving, so I just got a can of Pineapple Spindrift, but my partner ordered the cider tasting flight. I took small sips of each of the 4 hard varieties: 1.) Original Hard Cider - the same dry version I had found just OK in the past 2.) Devil's Harvest - made with dry-harvested Pine Barrens cranberries and tart cherries 3.) Highlands Farmhouse - containing Northern Brewer and Cascade hops, so it had the funky taste and body of a beer 4.) Juniper - very effervescent and infused with juniper berries The Devil's Harvest and Highlands Farmhouse were our favorites by far, and we even purchased a 4-pack of the Devil's Harvest from their indoor shop and farm market to take home with us. In fact, the store sold a variety of gourmet food items, fresh vegetables, refrigerated meats, Ironbound merchandise, and much more. Our food was ready rather quickly and was tasty. We shared a chunk of the Cornbread, which was more on the dense, dry side than being sweet and cakey, which was actually how I preferred it. The savory treat was served with WoodsEdge honey butter that I did find too sweet, though. I also got the Chicken Tacos, which were served in a portion of 2 corn tortillas, which were stuffed with shredded chicken, a cilantro-cabbage slaw, and pickled red onion. I skipped the side of sour cream, but the small cup of accompanying heirloom tomato salsa was spicy, herbaceous, and really added a kick. The chicken was only the slightest bit dry, but it had been so well-seasoned that it really did not matter. My companion got the Heritage Pulled Pork Sandwich, which was nice and large, but its Carolina BBQ sauce was on the sweeter side. It was also very over-priced for $24 (especially when it came with potato chips not fries), but none of the items that we ordered were well-priced, unfortunately. Lastly, my partner ordered one of the cider cocktails which had fig in it and really tasted like a sparkling rose. We both thought it was decent, but dry. The Ironbound Farm was a beautiful facility with fresh takes on food and beverages. Their farm grounds helped provide them with the necessary ingredients for a natural, earthy experience. read more

Truly delightful visit yesterday for brunch. Welcomed cordially and expertly attended by staff. Highly recommend pulled pork, potato pancake, breakfast burrito, focaccia with whipped ricotta, and roasted root veg. Cider flight was a treat as were mocktails, especially Sunny Disposition. Outside featured live music in beautifully cultivated grounds with native plants. One companion, a master gardener, was in awe of the variety of plants. Awesome experience! Thank you. read more

Good experience at Ironbound this weekend! We stopped by this past Saturday afternoon and it was fairly empty for a warm sunny day. We walked right up to the outside bar and split a cider flight with their specialty ciders. It was fairly priced and good potions for what we got. Our favorite cider ended up being the Black Tea Lemonade. We took the Black Tea Lemonade and the Sangria to go. Compared to other places we have been, the drinks were slightly more expensive ($50 for one cider four pack and sangria four pack for reference) but I imagine you would pay the same to order those drinks out at a bar. If I'm in the area, I would come back here again! Really enjoyed the outdoor seating area for its peaceful spacious atmosphere read more

To the Point: - Good Cider and varieties - Good food selection - Friendly wait staff, gave very good info. - Farmers market there as well - Low key, peaceful country ambiance - Price point as expected from your independent winery/distillery/breweries. We found this place incidentally on a long drive, saw a sign on 78 and decided to check it out. Its about 4 miles off 78 thru scenic small town. Arrived and saw 20+ cars, good so far. the site is a working farm that produces 95% of its products that make up their products. Out door seating, fireplace, covered eating/bar, and inside, an air conditioned bar/restaurant. Was seated and a very friendly waitress gave us a detailed descriptions of the ciders, foods, and self-sustainability of its products. We ordered the flight of 4/4oz ciders and they were from sweet to tart/sour, a good sampling (Devils Harvest is what we bought to take home). Tried the pulled pork sandwich with side salad and it was very tasty, moist and flavorful, with a hint of horseradish for uniqueness. Would be a great place to go for a early fall night, open air fireplace and peaceful ambiance. Two thumbs up read more

I came here with a friend on a Saturday. It was my first time here so I wasn't exactly sure if I needed a reservation or not. We sat at the bar and got a flight of ciders. They are all so good. I wish I took a picture of it. The next time I come, I am going to try the food. The folks sitting at a table said it was amazing. Can't wait to try it! read more

Ok... so where do I begin? Oh yeah, when I pulled up and saw the cutesy spotted goat that stole my heart! And the sheep and the piggy. Oh my goodness... such a special intro to Ironbound. Visited here for a Thursday night dinner in the October fall... I loved that there was a cool outside bar where you could also eat... we chose to go inside because it was a little too cool for my liking. Very rustic feel... simple decor, but has a great vibe. We were seated immediately... I could have gone for it being a bit warmer inside, but the drinks helped me out a bit lol. Lucas was awesome (thank you so much for the history lesson about the Harrison apple)! Very friendly, informative, and patient.... Ok on to the menu... wow oh wow.... I had some of the best meal that I've had in years at this spot! Bone marrow was really good... I don't have anything to compare it to, but it did it for me! Spreading it onto the delicious sourdough toast did exactly what it was supposed to lol. But, the STAR of the show was the cascatelli pasta.... my oh my oh my!!!!! It was absolutely delish! The pasta was cooked to perfection and was the most awesome vehicle to carry the slightly sweet combo of pumpkin, ricotta, peppers, shallots... and the beautiful mushrooms! I live an hour away and would order this for take out any day. My corncake with blueberry compote and honey ice cream was creative but nothing to write home about... Drink wise, I love their uber seasonal options.... the pumpkin spicy was soooo good! And tasted exactly as described.. the pumpkin butter really elevated this drink. I also really loved their signature Cider Royal so much that I purchased a bottle to take home.. along with their sangria to go... I love that it is almost 9% alcohol and is bubbly... I'm already planning my next trip!! read more

I love this place. I've been a couple times and every time i go, it gets better. Not only is the cider great with a variety of options, but the food, the grounds and the fresh air are beautiful as well. Perched on the hill, theres an outdoor kitchen where we sat at the bar and watched the chefs prepare everything we ate. The chefs were friendly and answered questions about all the food and preparation, it was cool to watch. Cant wait to go back when it gets a little warmer! read more

Driving up through Pittstown, you wouldn't expect to find such a wonderful dining establishment here kind of in a rural area on a farm. The vibe is cozy and casual but don't think that makes the food any less than outstanding. It's a limited food menu but I'd rather have 10 items done very well than 20 with half mediocre. Our server Joy was literally a joy and made us feel right at home. We chose the Korean fried chicken to share and it was perfectly crispy with great toppings for a flavorful bite. I ordered the burger for my main and was really amazed. Super soft bun and burger with the onions and micro greens...heavenly! Although I would get sweet potato wedges with this next time. My Mom really enjoyed her vegetable lasagna, my sis liked her risotto too. Again, lots of flavors in every bite. The desserts to me were just okay. I found the chocolate cake to be dry, and for the price it was underwhelming. But my family enjoyed them anyway. The mandarin corn cake is very interesting! I'm not a big drinker so I had the hot mulled cider which is non-alcoholic...insane! It was a cool spring afternoon so this absolutely hit! My Mom got 2 mugs! My other family members got the cider flight and a few other drinks and really loved everything. You can also grab some eggs, bacon, greens, ciders, sangria and even flower arrangements on the way out. I'm looking forward to summer where it looks like outside at the fire pits is the place to be! Also, we love supporting local farms and appreciate what this place is doing! A must visit if you're in the area! read more

I love everything this place stands for - regenerative farming principles, elevated farm to table cooking and alcohol! The ambiance here is breathtaking, especially at sunset! The farm is located in the middle of nowhere, Hunterdon County surrounded by farmland. Parking can be a pain especially around prime dinner time on a beautiful weather day. The recommended attire is "Instagram Farm Chic". Make sure you bring your most trendy flannel and coordinating beanie! All jokes aside, the setting is lovely with an outdoor open kitchen and fire pits next to outdoor seating. There is tent seating with picnic tables and it's quite cozy. The clear sides are down in the cooler weather and they run a thermostat controlled heater. The heater can be loud but it goes on and off so it's not a constant bother. The tent is lined with string lights, further setting the mood. There's also seating inside the main building. The menu here is very creative and ambitious. While it's not executed to perfection, I love the effort and I'll gladly take that over the same ol' same ol'. I enjoyed the bone marrow very much. It came with toasted sourdough bread, a chimichurri sauce, beef cheek carnitas and a bunch of other stuff on top. I wish they would just leave the beef cheek and the majority of the other stuff off. It's overkill and distracting! Bone marrow is delicious enough plain! The scallop dish was creative and flavorful but the scallops were over cooked. The cornbread dessert had an off flavor and I was not a fan. For my drink I chose the Harvest Sky cocktail and it was so refreshing and delicious. All of our drinks and food came out in a timely manner and our waiter, Garrett, was super attentive and constantly checking in to make sure we had what we needed. I cannot wait to come back, sit out by the fire pits and try a larger sampling of the ciders and other items on the menu. read more

What a fantastic meal! Everything served was so fresh and delicious from on site or local farms. We were told 80% of the food served comes from Ironbound farm or garden.

Ambiance of the tasting room/restaurant is awesome and the entire property is beautiful. Regenerative farming at its finest. Food was great and ciders were 10/10. Even if you're not a cider drinker there is something for you. Charles the owner took the time to talk to our group about the farm. He's interesting, funny and intelligent. read more

Love the concept of a cider brewery since I grew up in cider country. Many interesting ciders and cocktails to try. Some average but some really are very good. Try a flight and maybe one of the special ciders to find what you like. Service was really friendly. The location is idyllic making outdoor dining great but the interior restaurant area with wood beams is so beautiful. Now onto why 4 stars vs 5. While some dishes like the grilled halloumi are excellent others like the pizza are quite poor and the prices are very high for what it is. read more

I haven't been here since before the pandemic so let's get that out of the way. Chance and the universe conspired that allowed me to stop here in between two events and I was thrilled because I love cider and I loved this place the last time I was here. Things have changed. And it's not a bad change but this isn't a cidery that serves food. It's a restaurant that serves cider, there's a difference. Don't get me wrong, the cider is still good, with lots of choices and the service was great. I got an appetizer and that was delicious. But you can't just rock up and grab a seat inside anymore. It's not a casual place and I didn't feel very welcome which sucks. Because cider isn't pretentious but this place feels that way a bit. It's still a gorgeous setting and one of the few NJ cideries so it's a must for any cider fan. Just make sure you make a reservation. read more

Amazing breakfast--everything was made fresh and absolutely delicious. The biscuits were perfect, the grits were some of the best I've ever had, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. It's clear they care about what they serve. To top it off, they have fresh farm items for sale on your way out--meats, cheeses, eggs, and more. A great way to take a little of the experience home with you. Highly recommend this place--worth the trip! read more

Visited this place on a whim with my husband, best friend, and her boyfriend after seeing their reviews on yelp! We live far away and we were in the area. The ambiance was very chill. We loved the woodsy vibes and relaxed casual setting. The only downside of being in a more natural setting is that the flies were ferocious. They must know this is a good spot. LOL. I would say if possible that the owners purchase more fly swatter contraptions we saw them use at the bar! It was a little machine that is set near food that shooes the flies away. Very cool. The food here is superb and the cider has us planning our next visit. We even bought 2 four packs to take home with us from our visit and we've been enjoying every sip! The workers here are very attentive and very sweet. We were well cared for at our table and had people constantly checking on us and clearing our plates to help the fly issue! All in all a really wonderful spot. Would HIGHLY recommend!! Can't wait to come back! read more

Came by on a Saturday mid-morning with a group of 3 and we were so glad we had reservations...Although all of the outdoor picnic tables were empty when we were seated, they filled up impressively fast. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We ordered three ciders -- the original, the black tea & lemon, and the devil's harvest. I LOVED the black tea & lemon. The flavor was so unique and one of my favorite ciders I have ever had. The original was tasty, but not anything special, and we were not big fans of the devil's harvest (bit of medicinal undertones from the cherries and cranberries). Food-wise, the menu is fairly limited. We ultimately decided to split the devil's harvest chicken wings and the sautéed broccoli rabe. I have never been a fan of broccoli rabe, but given that Ironbound's is grown and harvested on-site, I wanted to give the dish a try... It was surprisingly tasty and drenched in enough garlic to kill the bitterness. The wings, despite being incredibly flabby, had a nice flavor and the spiced bleu cheese was quite good (coming from somebody who doesn't like bleu cheese!). Coming in at $15 for a relatively small amount of wings, we would likely opt for another menu item next time. After we finished our ciders and bites, we had a lot of fun walking around the farm to see what was being planted and harvested. I do wish we did the walk around the farm before sitting down to order, as we all instantly regretted ordering chicken wings after seeing all of the chickens on the property!! read more

We ordered the steelhead trout and the Moroccan chicken and they were both delicious. The place itself is off-beat and in a secluded spot in the woods, with fire pits and outdoor seating in a tent in case it starts raining. They have beautiful flowers and overall the ambience is unique and relaxing. The service was outstanding and they brought out our dishes quickly. I'd strongly suggest going in the evening as the sunset set provides a romantic backdrop. The food is a little on the pricier side, but worth it for a special occasion. read more

This place has so much potential, but the management ruins it So many rules to where you can/can't eat, where you can/can't sit. It's ridiculous! According to their website, walk ins are accepted before 5pm. But once my group got there around 2pm, we got rejected to get a table. Even though there are so many empty tables available. We even told them to let us know if they have any no shows to take their spot. They said no. Only TWO people out of your whole group can sit at the bar ... We were forced to sit in one spot where we're allowed to drink alcohol, but not allowed to eat... whaaaatt??? ‍ Our party had to be separated in two areas of the farm. Cider is good. Bar service takes forever. Service in general is not good. Understaffed. Not well trained. Confused. The bar ran out of glasses to serve drinks They weren't even that busy!!! It's too bad, cuz the farm looks so nice. Won't be coming back until they change their management. read more

Staff, food, atmosphere all amazing, if your looking for a restaurant with rustic charm, fresh produce, and you live cider! This is for you.

Fantastic place for drinking and eating especially in the outdoor space. Ciders tasted fresh, not weighted down by sugar, just pure flavor and crispness. We got the (4 cider) tasting which is well worth it. For food, we tried the eggplant with feta, golden raisins, mint, Black and Tan rice, and blackberries which was a unique and exciting dish. We also tried the agnolotti with corn, fava beans, browned butter and lots of sage which was phenomenal. The pasta tasted handmade and cooked al dente. I think the dish was maybe missing the foraged mushrooms (?) which was a slight bummer but it didn't take away from the dish. For dessert, we got the blackened peach with garlic cream and cornbread. The idea was intriguing but it was surprisingly savory and not sure if the garlic really jived. The cornbread was also very crunchy and without much sweetening. We definitely plan on returning again and again. It's a truly amazing place with all the feels. Love that they're not afraid to try new, bold flavor pairings. read more
