The food was delicious, the staff was kind, considerate, and very attentive. They made me feel comfortable and cared for. The meatloaf with spinach and House made mashed potatoes was incredible. The crispy brussel sprouts with bacon and apples in a balsamic glaze or some of the best I have ever eaten. I opted for an unusual choice, chocolate tort, unusual for me. Me. I like chocolate but I don't love it, this chocolate tort however, was sensational! Thanks to John for recommending my dessert today. I made my reservation for 7:00 however arrived early to make sure I could find the restaurant and parking spot. I sat in my vehicle as the sunset and even the view of the building from the outside was lovely.

Straight up. Without question. This is my favorite restaurant in RI. Period. The grill is unmatchable by any other restaurant this state has to offer, due to it's flame, it's smoke and season. Every dish comes out as consistent as the last visit. Personally I love the Salmon. I love how they change the ingredients with the seasons, everytime is consistent as the last. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Everytime we go here, it's always an experience. Looking forward to the fall Salmon dish this year and every once in awhile, I'm good for that Wagyu burger, as you also can't get a better flavor on a Wagyu burger than what that grill has to offer you. 5 stars all the way. Looking forward to my next visit
We stopped for lunch in Warwick, RI at the Iron Works on Jefferson Blvd. Upon entering the restaurant it was apparent this is a popular spot, the place was super busy and loud. We opted to sit outside the Hostess said someone would be out shortly. Well the only knock we had was that shortly never came and I went inside to see if someone could take our order. The Hostess (Christina) was super friendly and helpful. Our wait staff eventually did take our order. we chose to split the 1 Lb. pastrami sandwich with fries. Excellent sandwich piled with a nice lean pastrami and mustard with seeds.
Needed a place for lunch in Rhode Island to add to my visited states list, Iron Works popped up with good reviews so figured we’d stop. The food did not disappoint! Burger was a little bit sloppy in the sense it would fall apart as I ate it, but I usually suck at eating burgers so it’s probably on me. However, it was very well flavored. I opted to the truffle fries, for an extra fee, and it was so worth it! Our waiter was good as well, very friendly and often checked in as well. If I’m ever in RI again, I’d totally come back!
I have to say this food was delicious. My first time here, I tried the Salmon dish, with a vacation mocktail and for dessert a flourless chocolate cake with coffee. Great service and wonderful staff.
This place is legitimately a 5⭐ restaurant. The menu is amazing with a bit for everyone, and not the same old thing you’ll find anywhere. They have creative takes on a lot of familiar things, and it tastes amazing! Racheal was our human who helped us, super attentive, friendly and fun. Been all around the world and this place is as good as any I’ve been lucky enough to visit. 10/10
My husband and I had an excellent dinner at Ironworks! The menu offers a range of choices and the food is fresh and delicious. I could tell the restaurant has a talented pastry chef when I tasted the toffee almond caramel cheesecake! Our server Diana and the other wait staff who helped us were super friendly and helpful. Fantastic atmosphere, delicious food and great staff. We will be coming back soon!
Service, Food, and Atmosphere of the place was great. I ordered their Brussel Sprouts to start and they were very delicious. I then got a side of their Gruyere mashed potatoes and the bowl was nice a full. The taste was great. The final item that I ordered was the Almond Toffee Cheesecake. If you want cheesecake, then get this. It was so perfect. Julia C was my server and she took great care of me.
