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.

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.

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.

Stopped here for lunch before touring Patrick Henry's home, Scotchtown, and discovered the great patriot had lived here as a young man. The menu is rather limited, but three of us enjoyed different things. I had the burger with marbleu cheese, while my friends ordered the roast veggie salad and crab cake sliders. All were delicious. There was also a $5 lunch special. Our waitress was efficient, friendly and fun. We ate on the second floor overlooking a costumed gentlemen giving a musket demonstration for school children. Great food and fun.
