“ Attentive wait staff and the food is of great quality. Pictured are the smoked dry rub wings. Smokey, juicy, and full of flavor. Their was a minor misunderstanding with my entree order, but the wait staff and management addressed it promptly. Will be returning on my next visit to Rhode Island. ”
“ On my most recent trip to Rhode Island, I had a chance to swing by a restaurant that made a lasting impression on me. In my opinion, Iron Works is the hidden gem of Rhode Island and is located only minutes from the T.F. Greene International Airport. This stop was special! Started the night with a unique take on Brussels sprouts that I literally could’t stop eating. Next up, this flawlessly prepared pork chop presents one of the best integrations of explosive flavors and textures I’ve come across. By the time I finished that, I was almost tapped out but they told me I could t leave without trying the bread pudding. MY. GOODNESS!! Some good literally makes you happy Yeah do whatever you need to do to get there. Wifey is going to love this place! It was a good trip, made great by a phenomenal restaurant and a phenomenal server. Thanks Sabrina! ”
“ The vibe Is excellent. Very modern rustic. The food and drinks are great with greater selections. The chicken wings were slightly undercooked and the server didn’t believe until pointed out off the bones still in red. But overall the service was friendly. Think it was just too busy that particular night, he was working all the way on the other side of the restaurant that led to us being unattended at times. This is just our minor comments, don’t think this happens all the time. We will absolutely go back again ”
“ Absolutely one of the best experiences to start off my bf (now husband as of this night) anniversary night! We were first greeted by a very friendly (and later found out very outspoken and funny) hostess named Chelsea if she hasn’t thought about progressing to be a waitress she really should I believe she has the personality for this industry! We were seated right outside of the bar at a high top two seated table and had Shakira as our waitress. She was very knowledgeable about what the restaurant had to offer and was fantastic at giving recommendations and explanations I am pretty sure she broke a rule by letting me sample a little of the house made pineapple liquor but really glad she did cuz it was so refreshing! Now let’s get to the part that’s worth every penny we spent that night! We started with calamari and after one bite ik we were in for an amazing mouth watering meal. I’ve never had calamari that basically melts in the mouth and I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy it anywhere else now! After that first bite of calamari I instantly knew I was gonna order the rib-eye... not only did I eat one in the restaurant I had to take one home it was just absolutely mouthwatering the type of food where you know you can’t take another bite but just can’t stop yourself! I ended up asking our waitress the cook who prepared our food and I gotta say Rolando is a rock star This restaurant is the full package and seeing everyone laugh and work as a team really just set the atmosphere mood to be a wholesome place where anyone would be welcomed! Keep up the great work! Dine-in 02/05/2025 ”
“ Amazing atmosphere and experience. I used to eat here when lived in RI over 10 years ago. It’s great that this place has not changed for the worst, but improved! I came back to visit and came here with my family. Delicious meals and huge portions! Come hungry. Ramen is different from usual Asian ramen, but good. Tacos and sandwiches are simply amazing! ”
“ Absolutely outstanding food and beverage experience! The food was spot on and prepared to perfection. I had an awesome time here, the staff are top notch and provided the best serice ever! The food and beverages were spot on and the atmosphere allowed me to me new friends and just have a great evening. Everyone needs to visit Iron Works....you will definitely become a regular or look forward to when visiting. Highly recommend, you will another be disappointed!! ”
“ I love this place! As far as I know it’s the only restaurant in RI that offers braised beef ribs as I don’t eat pork. The drinks were amazing, my fiance loved his steak and I had my usual braised beef ribs. Definitely will be going back! ”
“ Probably one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had in a while, an unexpected surprise. We went for a quick meal so no drinks & wife got a grilled vegee salad topped w chicken, nothing earth shattering. My fries were good, not memorable, just good, so my rating is based solely on the great fried chicken sandwich ”
