Visiting from out of state and so glad we chose to eat here. The service was amazing from start to finish, from the front door to dessert, everyone was attentive and exceptional. Our server Jonathan was knowledgeable and gave us information about all of the specials as well as his favorites. He was the best server we’ve had anywhere in a long time, so pleasant and just amazing. It was a little loud and decor wise I think they should really lean into the ironhorse theme, but it was overall fine. Love sitting by the windows and watching the trains go by, I think at least 5 of them passed through while we were there.

Had lunch with friends. Service was good. Atmosphere really pleasant. Had a black bean quesadilla, which was fine but kind of soggy. My husband liked his more than I liked mine. Would return but menu is kind of small. Since I don’t eat beef, lunch becomes more difficult to choose something.

Iron Horse is a lovely find in Ashland,VA. The beet salad with seared scallops was beautiful, plentiful, and delicious! Likewise with the risotto stuffed squash with kale, peppers, and cheese sauce. The server was friendly and we had a beautiful day to sit on the patio. The downside was that several trains went past- 4 in 2 hours. We knew that trains were a probability and we didn’t mind one or 2 but 4 was a bit much. This restaurant does sit right beside the tracks. Another reason for a downgrade on atmosphere was that the floor is uneven where it transitions from one style to another near the restrooms

Iron Horse has been around as long as I could remember. It is a landmark in downtown Ashland. On a nice day, you can sit outside watching the trains go by. Food is very delicious, menu is seasonal. Watermelon Tomato Gazpacho was the special soup of the day. I was so happy that I have tried it; it was the best soup that I have every ordered it in a restaurant. It had so much flavor, Watermelon and Tomato balanced each other perfectly. I loved the soup so much, I ordered a bowl to take home. Shrimp Tempura was OK, nothing special. I have ordered Wally’s Meatloaf. It had very good flavor and they have used good quality meat for this dish. My son ordered the Chile Pecan Chicken, it was so tender. The waiter failed to inform us that the Chile Pecan Chicken was prepared from scratch and it will take longer than usual. I was wondering why it took a long time for our main entrees to arrive. I read about the cooking time from another review. The waiter was really friendly and helpful. He came and checked on us frequently. We all made alterations to our dishes, the waiter/restaurant accommodated the changes without any additional charges. I was impressed by their kind effort. I also ordered the Watermelon Mint Cooler, it was refreshing, nice and strong. Unfortunately they didn’t offer a lunch menu, so the lunch was more expensive than usual. But it was worth of being back there. The menu offers a good variety and prices are reasonable for dinner.

This restaurant is amazing. Our server Mary was amazing. She kept my drink cup full. I ordered a burger and fries and it was definitely one of the better burger so I’ve had. I also love the atmosphere here.

We enjoyed our visit on Dec 7 immensely. Our waiter Jonathan was fabulous and gave excellent service. We enjoyed puréed pumpkin squash soup, a chicken chowder and grilled chicken club with fries.
