Iron Rail Brewing offers some seriously impressive food in the downtown area! The grilled cheese I had was the most delicious I've ever tasted, featuring tender brisket and an amazing tomato jam that elevated the dish. The house-made fries were insanely good, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweet and salty.I took the food to go, so I missed out on the restaurant's ambiance, but the flavors definitely made up for it. The brownie was okay, tasting more like cake than a traditional brownie, but it was a nice finish to the meal. Overall, Iron Rail Brewing is a spot worth visiting, especially for that stellar grilled cheese!

These guys have been doing a great job in their kitchen since it opened in the revived downtown area a couple years ago. They have without a doubt the best fried chicken in town and a nice selection of house made beer and ales.What prompted me to write this review is there very good brunch that we have frequented twice in the past month with family. I can say the gravy on their biscuits and gravy offering is also the best in Topeka. Very reasonable $5 Bloody Mary's. And several in our party enjoyed the customizable mimosa flight.

Really great place! We often go here with a group when in Topeka. The menu is varied and will surely please everyone. Staff is always nice and welcoming. Love all the fun beers they have available- and so nice that they do samples as well as flights of 4, your choice of flavor. Only drawback is that there are lots of TV's so if you want quiet you're not going to get it, especially when the Chiefs are playing.

My father in law turned 60 last month and to get the family together at a central location we all decided that we should meet up in Topeka to celebrate. The best time for everyone was going to be a weekend brunch and much to my surprise, there just aren't that many local or more upscale brunch options in Topeka. Most of the better restaurants don't open until 11 even on Saturday or Sunday, so it took us a while to find someplace that was open, was not a massive chain, and would be a fun place for a celebration. Enter Iron Rail Brewing. Now, the Yelp reviews for this place are kind of hit and miss to be honest I can see why, but the quick summary is that Iron Rail is a pretty solid choice in Top City. Now, I used to work in Topeka for a few years, and had the opportunity to get to know the town a bit. There just aren't that many amazing local eateries but this is slowly changing and since it's been a while since I'd returned I was pretty excited to give this place a go. When we arrived our family had secured a large table, big enough to accomodate our group. The restaurant was bustling - likely because there aren't that many great brunch spots in Topeka! My husband and I ordered the nashville hot chicken biscuit and it was good. The biscuit was a bit disappointing, but the chicken was solid, and they serve real hashbrowns here which is always a win. The servers were kind, food came out fairly promptly (with the exception of one order in our group), and folks overall enjoyed their food. I think in a bigger market where there are more options it would maybe be closer to three stars, but this was the best brunch I'd ever had in Topeka, and I'd like to come back to try their beers someday. Overall, I'm so grateful this spot exists and they are paving the way for even more great local businesses to open up in town. Totally worth a stop if you're in the area.

Great tangerine wheat beer. Since we like to eat in the bar, ate at the bar post Chiefs game. Quiet as they close at 8 pm and we got here at 645. The parfait is amazing. For $10 you have a large mug filled with sugared baked beans, macaronis and cheese, burnt ends, jalapeño smoked sausage, potato salad?, mashed potatoes. This is Iowa State Fair food. Amazing!

Updating for new visit - chicken fingers and gin drinks at the bar. It was great & the chicken is NOT that pre-made stuff that's frozen. Good stuff! The bartender made me some strong & delicious libations

Iron Rail advertised a special tonight for two entrées and one appetizer for $30. A group of four of us decided that sounded like a great deal and wanted to support a local restaurant. When we arrived, they presented us with a "limited menu". None of the items we had wanted to order were on that limited menu. It was the cheapest items. I understand a limited menu, but be honest about the promotion, the things we did get were cold chewy and disappointing.Had we known about the limited menu in the dishonest advertising we would never have gone there tonight.

Good food and service. Haven't had a chance to try their beer but it is on the list. I have heard they have some flavors that don't sound appealing like fruity pebble beer.
