Riverfront TimesAugust 4, 2014Just-plain-folk service and kitschy-cute Southern décor round out the experience -- one that's worth having over and over, and cozy outdoor bar and patio make it worth stopping in casually. Read more
Carrie NenonenMay 11, 2013The peanut butter blaster pie is a must-share with your table. So weird it is great! Jalepeno whipped cream topping makes this spicy peanut butter and jelly perfection.
Julie watkinsAugust 16, 2013Chili was fabulous! We also got the mussels, peppered steak sandwich, and schnitzel & spaetzle, which all had great flavor. Right off the highway and super friendly staff!
Matthew HurstJanuary 18, 2013This restaurant marries the best of American recipes with a dive bars and homemade recipes. Always ask what's on special, and try some local beers while you're here.
Gloria ChinFebruary 24, 2014featured on man v. food nation! monte cristo dog w/ strawberry jam & swiss cheese, provel cheese sandwich, oak roasted meat, ballistic elvis w/ strawberry preserves, PB, banana, cheese & hot pepper
Everything I've had there has been excellent. If forced to choose, it'd be a tie between the Delmonico or the pork chop. Stay upstairs for the draft selection, go downstairs for the ambiance.
Michael LaverdièreMarch 13, 2014If it's on the menu that day, try the Chop and Bock. Pork chop and Bockwurst with a side of sauerkraut. Excellent!
Go! MagazineDecember 20, 2012Best of '12: Seafood barley paella at Iron Barley, 5510 Virginia Avenue, St. Louis. “Best food in the city! Can you say YUM?” asks @Jennifreynolds. Read more
we have great red Oct specials! Patio is still open too! Wear your cards hoodie! We have 4 TVs outside and $4 20oz local craft beer mugs!!!
Careth TashSeptember 25, 2010The peanut butter pie is my new go-to dessert. Sweet and spicy! Order it a little before you want to eat it though, so it can thaw a bit. There's a good reason they run out often.
Paul WilliamsMay 26, 2017The BQ shrimp, custom hotdogs, and pulled pork ravioli!! Great selection of drinks (bourbons).
Army DivaSeptember 27, 2012The Monte Cristo was the bomb!!! I eat my homemade hot dogs like this and this beat out my own hotdog!! A MUST try
M Kathryn PetersonJune 8, 2011Fred's 6 Foot Under is a bar in the cellar of the Iron Barley. You can order dinner there and it's worth the effort. Fred is a real character. Read more
Brad BOctober 3, 2013Daily lunch and adult beverage specials are worth checking out. Wednesday is the best!
Bradford GoetteSeptember 24, 2013Awesome simply awesome Monday night meal with the coolest looking hippy playing killer mood music in the bar...cheers
Tony BolognaJuly 12, 2010You simply can't go wrong. Duck salad is amazing! Bring your big-boy wallet, though as the tab to cover dinner for two with starters, and booze may make your eyes bulge a bit.
Amanda Z.August 7, 2012Take it from the pickiest eater out there: it is DEFINITELY worth trying the Monte Cristo dog.
Guy FavazzaOctober 14, 2010Seafood risotto was incredible and could have fed a family of 5. Yes, the peanut butter pie is the best dessert I've had out in a long time.
Anthony AjfNovember 20, 2012Have to have the Schnitzel & Spaetzle. And for dessert the Peanut Butter Blaster Pie.

Check the daily specials. You can't go wrong with any of it.
Collin McFarlaneNovember 2, 2011Hole-in-the-wall place, it has absolutely AMAZING food!! And great local beer.
Chris EmanuelJanuary 9, 2011Monte Cristo- holy ... Crap! Worlds greatest hot dog. Jelly on a hot dog may sound strange but it is amazing!
Jeff KwiatekDecember 23, 2010Get you some mussels and you won't be disappointed. Also sample a different beer every time you show up because they've got tons.- Riverfront TimesOctober 10, 2012RFT 2012 Best of St. Louis Winner - Best Beer Selection in a Restaurant
Deb FillaFebruary 4, 2015Wow what a disappointment. They serve no salads and the food is horrible. I do not know what the fuss is about this bar. I guess it is because you have to eat in and old city basement, don't get it.
Terry ManleyNovember 10, 2010The Peanut Butter Blaster is just about the greatest thing ever. You need it in your life.
Shane DeWayneAugust 31, 2013Come in soon! They will be closed September 1st through the 10th for upgrades and maintenance. Will reopen September 11th.
