“ Raven was awesome! Loved her recommendation of the bacon wrapped Wickles appetizer! Beautiful view of the river too. ”
“ I went with my mother during the lunch rush, and the service and food was quick and great. Our waitress, Raven, did a great job and had a positive attitude the whole time. The location of the seating gave us a great view of the river (outside seating). The gift shop didn't have much, but the food, service, and scenery are far more important and the Iron Works Grille did fantastic for all three. ”

“ We stopped there on our motorcycle ride across the Cherahola Hwy. We sat outside near the river. Beautiful view! I ordered the Trout salad appetizer and the shrimp. Both were very good and ended up taking some home. Sauce they had for the shrimp was very good. My friends had the trout and onion rings. Both said it was very good well prepared. Waitress was ok but when we were ready to leave had to hunt her down. I would highly recommend eating here. ”

“ Such a beautiful spot. Very peaceful! The Chicken Alfredo is genuinely the best thing I have ever tasted in my life! Everyone at our table tried it and agreed. I am sad I don’t live in the state, so I can get it all the time. I also recommend the club sandwhich, fried okra and chicken wings. ”
