"My husband and I eat out at Iron Hill twice a month. We know we will always have a good meal, and we are never disappointed. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food, good atmosphere, good beer selection, good menu. Everyone should give it a try."

"Took the wife there for a night out. Great beer selection, excellent service, and a better than expected food selection. We assumed this place would have more bar type food given the brewery component, but the variety and specials were exceptional. Will definitely return here again."

"we've been comming ere for several years. While still a favorite spot, and great place to watch a ball game, I'd like to see the menu updated a little. The service has dropped off as well....wait staff seem to be more typical of other places, previously a notch above most. Still a very consistent Pig Iron Porter. - keep it flowing."

"Iron Hill Restaurant in Newark, DE is one of favorite places to have a late lunch and a beer. This is a brewery/restaurant so the beer is always fresh and very good. The menu is varied and the daily specials offer a great selection."

"Iron Hill in Newark is such a refreshing change of pace in this college town. Nice wood paneled interior with courteous and attentive service. We had delicious burgers and wonderful beers. May was burger month and I had the Fresno, which was 'out of this world'. Highly recommend for family get togethers, a quieter space and a more adult environment. And clean, clean, clean. We will be back!"

"We are never disappointed in the food & service at this Newark DE Main Street restaurant -- the tables in the back by the kitchen are not our favorite as the noise from the kitchen exceeds our conversations. Ask for up front dining if you make a reservation -- and Iron Hill staff -- please seat reservations in the better tables!"

"We have been dining occasionally at Iron Hill Newark for many years, and chose it for Mother's Day lunch. Food and beer were top-notch as usual. Restaurant was very busy ("energetic"!), but service and kitchen were keeping up and staying cheerful. Only real problem was parking; none was available onsite or in nearby public lot, so the nearest street space was a long walk."

"This was an amazing place because they have a brewery on site! The food was really good and definitely better than average pub food! The beer was amazing and the server was very knowledgeable in helping me select the right beer for my meal. It was a great casual experience that I would definitely return to regularly if I lived closer!"

"Being gluten free makes it very hard to eat however I found that Iron Hill had a great gluten free menu. They did not just have a few things to offer as most restaurants normally just offer salads, they had a whole separate 2 page menu with desserts and beer included that I could enjoy. Going here for Mothers Day was a perfect choice as everyone enjoyed it and the menu will definitely bring me back again."

"IH is an OK place to eat, food is fair, service can be great if you get the right person and the beer is generally good. It is not the same as it was when IH was a small company with a half dozen stores led by great local managers, brewers and chefs. The beer continues to be good, but the food and service has become mediocre, nothing new, fresh or special coming from the kitchen anymore and service which is no better than any chain restaurant."

"We enjoy dinning at Iron Hill. The food is usually very good! You can never go wrong with the chicken and mashed potatoes. It tastes delicious every time. The last time we went I decided to order the prime rib special. The meat was really fatty and tough. I didn't enjoy it but I took it home to my dogs and they loved it!"

"They were great to us we had a group of 14 that went to 25 and then down to 21 but they didn't miss a beat they added room and sat us all. The drinks were cold, the food was great and they managed a "energetic" group quite well. Kudos to you all from the paintball refs see you next year."

"Another great dinner at Iron Hill. The new cheese plate is great and they offered a grill pineapple and watercress salad that was very good. We make a reservation just so we know we will have a seat when we arrive."

"NOT ENOUGH PARKING! The parking lot was full, the closest pay lot was full and we drove around looking for metered spots but we didn't have change so we had to run around looking for an open store to get quarters. Would never go back on a weekend for this reason. Service a little slow and my salmon was a little overcooked"

"Cool spot to go with friends, food's very good, service has been always on point for me - Never had any Issues with service or the food. Micro brew selection is pretty good as well, since they brew their own beer.
Would highly recommend this spot."

"Celebrated my son's 21 birthday with our family. Had a great time and great place to celebrate. Menu had something for everyone. Food and service were great as usual with Iron Hill. We now have three generations of mug club members."

"First time there. Not a beer drinker but enjoyed the sampler. The personnel were very friendly and helpful. The server was attentive but not annoying and very knowledgeable regarding the food and the different beers. We both enjoyed our meals and vow to return.."

"Full disclosure, criteria for a restaurant is decent food, noteable beer list and food for our not so adventurous kids. I would say it met that criteria, but didn't exceed it. Tried four different brews, all good. Tuna tartare was amazing. French onion soup was great. Jaegerschnitzel was kind of bland. Fish taco appetizer, ummm, 1992 wants it's pineapple chutney back. Dessert and cheese plate were good, however, proper artisanal baguette would have been a better accompaniment with the cheeses than the white bread (italian) loaf served. All in all, good value and certainly pleasant enough."

"Food is excellent and craft beers are always fantastic! Great crowd, and great location on Main Street in Newark. Be prepared to wait -- or of course you can use Open Table to make a reservation!"

"This was the first time I'd used OpenTable at Iron Hill. I had originally made the reservation for 6, but called the restaurant the day before, to update our party to 8. When we arrived, our group table had already been put together, and we were seated right away! The service was good, food was excellent, and it was a great experience for a family get-together!"

"Iron Hill consistently has a great selection of food and beers. The only catch can be with kid's choices (some portions were enough for a toddler, but not a 9-year-old)."

"We sat outside on the most beautiful day of the year, the neighborhood was bussling and full of excitment. The beer list was delightful and the ones we tried were delicious. My husband had a pizza with a garlic cream sauce and I had a hard time not stealing it all after having a bite, nothing short of amazing. My son had a childs meatloaf which delighted him (no where has a childs meatloaf), he licked his plate clean. The food was generously portioned and super delicious. Our server was knowledgable and was able to help us with recommendations based on flavors we enjoyed. A wonderful day, we will definately be going back again and again."

"Great beer, good food. The service was pleasant, but confused. We had reservations, but it took a long time to seat us. We then waited a long time for our entrees. For some reason they brought the entrees out without bringing our nachos. The nachos turned into dessert. Haven't had an experience like that for a while. At least they were nice about it."

"Conistently good. I've been going to the Newark location since early the early 2000s and always look forward to my next visit. Eating during weekdays is much different than weekends when the crowds arrive. Either way, food is good with good service."
