Went to Iron Tap with friends after going to J Carver. Ordered the burger. Girlfriend had the chicken cavatapi, and the pretzel and a soup. The burger was really nice. Nice meaty flavor and the bun held up well. The pretzel I thought was a little small, but it tasted ok. Girlfriend appreciated the pasta dish as well. They've got an excellent beer list as well with beers from a variety of places and variety of styles. I don't know Waconia that well, but assume their beer list is one of the best. I wouldn't drive to Waconia just for the food, because it is quite far, but I would happily eat the food again and throw down a couple of beers.

Next time you're out West of the Twin Cities you have got to stop in and try @irontapmn located in downtown Waconia, MN. This place is so quaint on the outside but buzzin' on the inside. Super cool vibes, excellent service and delicious food!!! They offer tons of craft beer on tap and great looking craft cocktails. I cannot wait to go back in the summer to enjoy their rooftop and patio seating areas!We started with the fried pickle rollups and they were super good. Great panko crust offered a nice crunch. I'm not a big ground mustard fan so pro tip is to order them with ranch (obvi). :)The walleye sandwich was also really good! I could have used a tad more tartar sauce on the bun but that's just me. The fish also had a delicious crunch to it and was very meaty. Once again, always get the fries w da ranch as a side. The sleeper here was the adult mac n cheese. Stacked with bbq pulled pork, poblano peppers, onions and more, this thing was killer! I always say if you see max w cavatappi noodles you know it's going to be and this was right there. The BBQ cheese sauce was super creamy and not overpowering. This dish was !!!Take a drive to visit Iron Tap out west in Waconia and you can thank me later!!

I was in downtown Waconia and gave the Iron Tap a try for the first time. Kind of a cool spot attached to the bakery-by-day/lounge-by-night joint next door. It looks kind of small at first, but there's more seating around the corner and counter seating as well. They have a huge tap selection and I chose Schell's Snowstorm, one of Schell's seasonal brews. This one was quite good - dark and bready with a bit of a spice to it.To eat, I ordered a medium/well bacon cheeseburger and fries. The burger was cooked just right and it came with perfectly crispy, thick bacon. The burger in the pic looks small, but that's because of the absolute mountain of crispy battered fries in front of it. I should have taken another shot from another angle but I was hungry. A nice beer, a great burger, in a cool spot. What's not to love?

I came here for the first stop on a girl's night. Our waitress had a great sense of humor and was excellent at her job. Get the grown up grilled cheese, it's so worth it. Crispy, cheesy, salty, something even the pickiest eater would gobble up. Also, the ham and pickle- Minnesota sushi, say less my friend. It's a cozy, unsuspecting hidden gem in Waconia. I genuinely think it's the best restaurant in Waconia.

Best cheese curds I've ever had, hands down. We are from Georgia and stopped here based on Yelp reviews and pictures of the food. It was all delicious. Hubby had The Tom, which had brisket, cheese curds, and all kinds of yumminess. I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich. Our server was Brendan and he did a great job with recommendations for us. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I'm admittedly extremely picky about meat. Their meat was high quality and prepared well. We will definitely come back when in the area again.

The service was great and fast, the food was phenomenal, it's a modern take on classic bar cuisine. Really great menu, tap list, and super fun interior.

This place is right on Main Street on Waconia and it makes for a cutely decorated place that has a bakery attached. I would likely give it a 3.5/5 in terms of ratings. Great drink selection, good sized menu, and a lot of different options. My sister is a vegetarian and they didn't have too many meatless options in terms of the sandwiches, however they did offer a meatless alternative for the the burgers. We ended up splitting 4 different appetizers across my sister, my mom, and I. We got the cheese curds, the warm pretzel, the bruschetta, and the crab artichoke dip. Prices were slightly steeper for the amount of food we were given. For example, the cheese curds were absolutely delicious, but for $12.50 we didn't get many of these. Would likely still order them, but definitely would've been happier with a larger amount. The warm pretzel was really good and came with a mustard and a really good Gouda cheese sauce. The honey goat cheese bruschetta was fresh and was a good bite sized to share (it would be hard to share with more than 3 people so make sure you plan accordingly). The crab artichoke dip was fine but for $15 I would probably skip it as it wasn't anything earth shattering. Overall if I lived closer to the Waconia area I would be willing to stop in again especially for a few apps and the wide drink selection.
