Ironwood Tavern

"First time visiting on a very solid recommendation (industry provided). Available parking, clean & well lit interior, professional restaurant organization. Acoustic baffels in ceiling to offset cnversational noise. Outstanding choices of all in store made fare. Bartender went out of the way to please. Entire Spirit selection has been educatedly selected. Day Manager Don spent time carefully explaining restaurant concept and application. This is a tavern for decerning diners. Don't go for a quick fast food bite....stay and enjoy the atmosphere and a proper meal. This is an expensive restaurant, do not go too be cheap. Be dressed in a presentable fashion. Kitchen was open facing guests so, yes, you may even ask the chefs a question. Well done. We will return to duplicate our experience. Thank You. Joe"

"Showed up at 5:30 on a Thursday. No wait to be seated. The server was very friendly. I ordered the lemon pepper wings. The flavor was good, but...I prefer my wings crisper. I also know they weren't made to order because they came out in about 5 minutes and weren't hot by Amy means. I ate them anyway, but they were definitely not the best wings I've ever had. Overall, it's a nice place with a nice atmosphere. I'll have to try the pizza next time."

"Everything was great! So much food we couldn't eat it all. Definitely recommend the smoked gouda Mac and cheese"

"I love this place!!! So good!!!! A bit crowded and louder than normal. Our waitress was on the ball and had fresh drinks available even before we had to ask the food was served hot and fast. I will always come here when o visit Evans."

"This tiny tavern tucked to the side of Riverwood Town Center does not disappoint! I highly recommend the chicken and waffles. Like, if they created an Instagram account for this dish, I'd be a follower. They're that good. The waffle is thick and crispy, the chicken fingers are large and crunchy, and they're perfectly paired with syrup + candied bacon, sweet heat sauce, and sweet pickles. I'm not a fish fan myself, but others in my party confirm the blackened mahi with succotash is worth it. I can tell you our to-go portion was easily two servings. It was also superior to the beer-battered option which is nothing to write home about. There are kid meal options for around $8 apiece. The chicken fingers with fries was generously portioned. One kid enjoyed the pepperoni pizza; one thought it was just okay. (While I didn't try the kid-sized pizza, I can confirm from past experience that the adult version is delicious and enough to split between two people!) If you're trying to decide whether to eat in or call ahead, I prefer picking up. The inside is lovely but cramped. If you do dine in, consider opting for the enclosed porch. Bottom line: This wasn't our first visit and it won't be our last."
