Amazing food! Nothing short of flavors from every direction! Great bar favorites & local brews.

We had a nice experience at this restaurant. The Italian quesadilla was delicious. It had huge pieces of roasted garlic and some red peppers. The drunken sailor had shrimp and fish and was served with mash and a creamy gravy which tasted sweet to me. The fish and chips were yummy. Flavorful fries and succulent fish with a nice crunchy coating. The food took a little time to arrive but we were not in any rush.

Perfect place to take a friend with food allergies. I met a friend there for a quick bite and a drink. They have a good selection in the bar as well as non alcoholic drinks. The server was extremely helpful in checking for my friend's allergens in the ingredients. We were able to find food we both enjoyed. They even sent it out with things separated so we could share.

My boyfriend and I came in on a Saturday night for our date night. We instantly loved the atmosphere and quaintness of the place. Dani was our server and she was extremely attentive, pleasant and helpful during our meal. I got the Chicken Cordon Who and my boyfriend chose the Curry Burger. We both really enjoyed our food, I’m not a huge fan of curry but I tried a bite of his and really liked it. I really appreciate the portion sizes here, it’s not an overwhelming amount of food that you worry about wasting, especially with fries that tend to not reheat well. For dessert we got the berry cobbler, it came to us nice and hot with fresh ice cream on top, it was the perfect ratio and a great end to the night although we were stuffed and couldn’t finish. Thank you for the amazing dinner, we will certainly be back.

Overall this is a place worth trying for the excellent food.I really wanted to give this place 5 stars all-round, but there were a couple of things that could use some improvement.Food: 4/5. I had the Sirloin Diablo which was cooked well, but flavors were not to my liking. The gravy of dish had savory middle eastern flavors like cummin and maybe a hint of turmeric, but also had a sweet American barbecue flavor to it and these flavors did not mix well for me, there was more sweetness than savory happening for me and that was unexpected from a dish with Diablo in the name.My wife had fish and chips, which were excellent in presentation and flavors.Unfortunately we arrived around 2:00pm and were kindly told we couldn't order from the dinner menu.Ambiance: 2/5. The pictures seem a bit deceiving. The restaurant was not as vibrant as seen in the photos and there is a strong oder that I can only describe as an old library book mixed with old people and a questionable hint of vomit. That's was the worst part for me because the smell was throughout the restaurant and would not go away.Customer Service 5/5. The staff are friendly and attentive.I hyped this restaurant up to my wife for weeks because of the pictures of the food seen on google. She was not impressed with the interior and was really upset about the smell. Now I can't pick restaurants for a while... I Would eat from Iron Rabit again because the food was great, I'd just be sure to get it to go.

For a very nice dinner experience I recommend dining in the bar on a Friday around 7pm. The atmosphere is tranquil with dim lighting and excellent play list at optimal volume. Order drinks. Start with a 16oz Wanderlust for him and a Iron Margarita for her. For the starter: Sirloin Diablo. (Highly praised by both the host and server)The sauce is fantastic and easily shareable. Proceed to dinner: The Drunken Sailor and Marsala Chicken for the main dishes. This restaurant really has their sauce game locked down. Super tasty with good portions and addicting flavors. The kind of flavors where you just want to pick up your plate and lick it clean. When finished with dinner order another round and relax. The Iron Rabbit is a solid choice for dinner. Their menu is one of those that is hard to decide what to eat because everything sounds great. I love that. I'd recommend this place to everyone. I'll surely be back for lunch another day.

We had some delicious burgers! The gluten free bun was yummy! The fish and chips were cooked perfectly and the bread pudding was delicious! Only one waitress and she did a really good job!?

First time there. It was fabulous. I had the Irish stew and it was to die for. Traded plates with my husband to try the fish and chip also sooooo good.

Passing through town and looking for food. Stopped here and we are glad we did. Excellent food and service.

Great place for my birthday lunch. All of their food has a unique twist that shows real culinary talent. I was extremely curious about what an unusual combination like fig onion burger tasted like. It was wonderful!
