For about 6 months I kept driving by the shopping area and smelly and smoky smell to and from work. My daughter and I decided to finally stop in and have dinner to try this BBQ. I was pleasantly surprised the restaurant is clean and well staffed with tables no clutter. Very bright dining area, wood tables and comfortable black chairs. The menu is the right size not a book to read. Being a rib person I had to try the ST. Louis ribs, since there are so many styles of them in different places. I had 2 sides the bbq beans and the red skinned potato salad. My daughter had the chicken tenders and fries. Our meal came out in 10 minutes My daughter stated her Chicken tenders were good not dry well breaded and had a good taste. She was given more fries than she can consume, plus a nice size drink. My ribs came, 6 bones, with 2 sides and cornbread piece. The Ribs were sauced, nice smell of smoke, meaty but a tad dry, some parts a bit chewy but good. The bbq beans had a different taste than other places I have tried a unique taste, they also needed a bit more sauce but good. The Potato salad was a mix of potatoes, red onion, Mayo, flavored with fresh dill and I belive egg? The chunks were quite big, and they really need to cut them in smaller pieces. The portions were big enough for 2 people. I had to take half of it home. The brought a carrier with different sauces. The original was good but the others may need to be remixed since they had strange tastes but over all ok. The meal I would rate about an 8 since they need to concentrate on not over cooking their foods. Maybe searching out new recipes. Our meal came to $21.50 plus tax and was about average based on other restaurants in the areaThank you (and your daughter) for coming in. We hope to have you back to try the other items on our menu.

Food was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Servers are not up to date with their beers which was a shame, because that had an extensive beer list. Servers also use tablets that our server was not familiar with so the order took a long time to place. Hi! Thank you for your feedback. There is a possibility that you had one of our new servers, and I sincerely apologize that this was not communicated to you during your visit. Because of our extensive beer list, and large menu it can take a little while after their training is complete to feel completely comfortable and serve our guests in a more timely manner. I appreciate your patience though and I am so sorry that your dining experience was affected. I hope you will give us another try in the future and check out some of our other menu items. Thank you again for your feedback!

After a long day at Kings Dominion, a friend and I came here to have dinner. The food offerings are like that of other Applebee's restaurants. The service here was good. The employees were friendly. The food was served within a reasonable amount of time, and it had a good flavor to it. The dining area and restrooms were clean.

The food is surprisingly good, so it is popular with the locals. Really can't go wrong here, but around dinnertime you are likely to have a wait. Worth it though. The staff are always friendly, albeit they usually are "in the weeds." Even though it is a sports bar, the televisions aren't obnoxious. It doesn't really feel like a typical sports bar.

We visited the Iron Horse on an August Thursday with perfect weather for having lunch outside. When we learned that one of the daily specials was homemade gazpacho, featuring Hanover tomatoes, our decision on what to try became easy. Wow! Gazpacho done right!Outside dining is just a few steps from the railroad tracks, so for railfans like us, getting to watch a passing train during our visit would have been a lot of fun, but nothing came by. Maybe next time. We will be back!

I recently had lunch at Trackside on my way through Ashland. It's right on the railroad tracks downtown. The decor is a little old. The menu has a nice variety at reasonable prices. I had an oyster po' boy. The oysters were good; however, they were a little overwhelmed by the bread and remoulade.Service was good.
