My husband and I have eaten here multiple times and always had a great experience! The restaurant has a laid back but classy atmosphere. Andy is a very kind and friendly server and the food is always delicious! I would definitely recommend any of the burgers.

This was an easy one. The Mac and cheese was bomb, as well as the brussel sprouts. The rib eye had good flavor, just needed a touch of salt added. The staff that waited on us were great. They made the experience comfortable and casual. Andy was training Lauren, grab either when you come in and you'll be all set.

Excellent dinner and great service from Heidi and the rest of the staff. The atmosphere was great and they were generous with there pours when making a drink. I had Ahi tuna for an appetizer and seafood over linguini both were cooked perfect. My wife and son both had surf and turf with brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. This is the second time that I have been there and would recommend to anyone who just wants a nice night out.

We are in the area fishing a tournament on Candlewood and needed a bite to eat. The Iron Rail did not disappoint. Service was top notch and the food was good. I got the Wrangler burger...so good. Fries were tasty too. Staff ran the place like a well oiled machine. Thank you. We will be back to eat for our next event!

Stopped in here during a day trip exploring New Milford. The atmosphere is so cute- really chill. They don’t rush you out. The Happy Hour is so good - truly great options and for great prices. The food is even better! Service could have been a little better/more attentive but I like not being rushed! can’t wait to return.

I have been here about three times since owners have changed and I still love it here. The service is great, food is always pretty tasty. Came here on New Years Day. It wasn't as crowded as I expected it to be. This was perfectly fine. The scallop appetizer didn't appear seared. It was still pretty tasty with the sauce and bacon. My poor delicious salmon I was craving was definitely over cooked. I wish there was more mango and peppers on it as this was what gave it most of it's flavors. I enjoyed this pretty healthy meal. The crab cake was amazing and my Mom really enjoyed the steak and crab meat entree. This is still one of my favorite spots. Love the servers. They are always so pleasant and friendly. Can't wait to do their brunch.
