I visited Morgantown over the summer for a cousins wedding. While there I stopped into the Iron Horse for lunch and some beers. Was absolutely delicious. My cousin then had his after party after the wedding here. The food they made was absolutely delicious and was a great place to drink and hang out late into the night.
We had a fantastic time and a fantastic meal at the Iron Horse Tavern! Pierogis were to die for!!! We had a Ruskie and a Mushroom Thyme. Wow!!! So delicious! The sauce on the mushroom pierogis was insanely delicious. We were sopping it up with our pretzels so none of it would go to waste! Burgers were magnificent! I had an Iron Horse Burger with fries and it rivaled ANY of the great burgers I've eaten back here in Chicago!!! Anna was our server and she was nothing short of superb. Such a lovely young lady and we had great conversation with her about Morgantown since we'd never been in the area before. Can't thank her enough!!!!
We stopped in for brunch ahead of flying out of Morgantown Municipal. Awesome atmosphere. Service was fast and friendly. Food and drinks were great! Highly recommend the Bacon Bloody Mary and mimosas. If we ever find ourselves in Morgantown again we will DEFINITELY be back.
My husband and I just happened to be driving through Morgantown, WV and we decided to make a stop for lunch… We thought it would be cute to go to ‘Iron Horse Tavern’ because our first date was at a restaurant with the same exact name, back in GA. We were NOT prepared to eat some of the best food of our lives. I had one of the best smash burgers I have ever eaten (it’s literally called ‘The G.O.A.T.’); it was so phenomenal that I actually ordered a second one. We also ordered the ‘Smokeshow’ Omelette and it was the perfect amount of spicy & savory that you could want on a chilly day. 20/10 quality ingredients & freshness. On top of the food being out-of-this-world, the service was astronomically amazing. Our server Curtis went above & beyond to accommodate our allergies, and never made us feel like a bother with our many questions. We never once had to ask him for anything; by the time we wanted a refill on our drinks, he was already delivering them! He did all of of this while also managing several other bigger tables at the same time too! This was an experience that has my husband and I planning a weekend getaway to come back to Morgantown — we truly can’t thank Curtis & ‘Iron Horse Tavern’ enough for such a delightful meal!!! If you are traveling through Morgantown, WV, and looking for a phenomenal meal & the best customer service, you will regret not stopping here!!!!!
Afternoon brunch, dinner for the evening or just to enjoy an adult beverage you can’t go wrong with Iron Horse! I’ve been going since 2014 and they never disappoint. I’ve had everything from brunch, soups and salads to burgers and desserts. Great food, large fresh portions and very friendly staff! They’ve also got a great selection of alcohol to fit anyone’s drinking tastes. Everything is priced really well for the quality and size.
Firstly, I just want to say that I generally don’t write reviews, even when I’m very impressed. I was recommended to come here by a gentleman who works at the Morgantown Museum across the street. I glanced at the menu and saw a few standard American fare staples. The wild mushroom and thyme pierogi stood out to me, so I ordered it along with the beet salad. I mean, this was a total home run. It reminded me of a cacio e pepe dish, but with potatoes in the pierogi. In combination with the generously crushed black pepper, it really stole the show. It’s very filling for one person, you might even have enough left for the next day, although I finished it quickly. What else is there to say. Thank you, chef, and thanks to the great bartender who confirmed that this dish is amazing. I hope it stays on the menu and that local food critics come by to try it, along with the other items. I left the bar feeling very pleased.
Iron Horse was recommended to us by another server so we had to try it! Dani was a joy to work with and her recommendations were right on point. The buckwheat Donurs with baileys crème sauce were hot with a soft center and crispy outside, Delicious experience. We really felt the colonels Benedict with jalapeño gravy was top notch. Don’t miss the experience!
Overall, a delicious meal and great night out! The atmosphere was casual but not crowded. The food was delicious - we got a umami mushroom smash burger and cauliflower tacos and beers. All very tasty! I do wish the burger was a tad bigger in portions but I didn’t leave hungry.
My fiancé and I come to Morgantown once in awhile for my doctors appointments, and this is our new spot!! Our waitress Summer P was absolutely phenomenal!! Everything was amazing food wise with great tunes to jam out to while we were hanging out!! Every time we’re in town we will be back!! Oh and the cocktails and beer were top tier!!
I love this place! The food is great, the servers are friendly, there's always a good selection of local beers. One of my favorite restaurants in Morgantown
