It feels like you're dining in a cowboy ski bar, complete with all the decorations and accessories on the walls. It's like stepping back in time to the 18th century. They even have Western movies playing on the monitors. It's a unique and fun experience.

The interior is divided into three sections: an old west style bar, a waiting area with a view of the kitchen and merchandise, and a dining area. Despite the rainy weather, our party was promptly seated and greeted by multiple staff members. I ordered the House Lemonade, Onion Rings, Veggie Burger with Fries, and Carrot Cake. The lemonade was perfectly balanced, not too sweet or tart. The Onion Rings were a standout, crunchy on the outside with a moist onion inside. The fries were unique but lacked a fluffy interior. The veggie burger was flavorful and fresh, with a homemade patty and grilled onions adding a nice touch. The Carrot Cake was a pleasant surprise, rich and decadent with a delicious cream cheese frosting. Our server, who was in the Check-in picture, provided excellent service. Overall, a great dining experience at Pig Iron. *Make sure to try the Fountain Coke!*

Try their loaded fries. I thought I had tried every shape of french fry on earth. I was wrong.

The squash could be cut more thinly to ensure it is nice and tender while not being too heavy and the aoili/ sauce on top needs to be more plentiful or some other bright/acidic element added.We had the smoked pork tacos which were pretty solid but could go one step further with some pickled onion.I had the ribs with the house sauce which honestly were disappointing. If they had been smoked, it was undetectable and they were nowhere near fall off the bone. They struck me as individually grilled ribs with a sweet glaze. If not for the glaze I’m not certain they would have much flavor. For the sides the corn bread was mid and would have been nicer warmed, the coleslaw was fine and the beans while well flavored were undercooked.Overall 3 stars good 4.5 stars beverage.I’d go back for cocktails and snacks but not desperate to have dinner again.
