The Iron Oaks

This restaurant is kind of hidden from the road unless you know it's there. There is a parking structure near the business. Seating is available inside and outside. We sat at a table with high top chairs and was approached by our server right away. He was very helpful and nice. I got an order of Thai chili ranch wings and an apple Gorgonzola salad. The salad was recommended by our server. The salad had a lot of greens on it. Both were good.

We got drinks at The Iron Oaks while waiting for our table at nearby Sushi Mon. Sushi Mon has some of the best sushi in the Triangle, by the way: https://www.yelp.com/biz/sushi-mon-raleighThe drinks and service at The Iron Oaks were good. This is a relatively-new bar and lounge located on the ground floor of one of the office buildings at Glenwood Place. The Iron Oaks serves food too -- small, shareable plates + burgers and sandwiches.At the bar, the big-screen menus had dozens of beers on tap. The wine list was sizable. Our group got cocktails. There were about 10 cocktails available. My wife had The Iron Margarita ($13) and I had the Mulligan Mule ($13). Both were well made, balanced, and tasty. Simple presentation. The Iron Margarita came with Lunazul Reposado Tequila, Cointreau orange liqueur, and housemade sour mix. The Mulligan Mule is The Iron Oaks' version of the Moscow Mule. It was made with Tito's Handmade Vodka, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer.There were TVs playing sports around the bar. Homey furniture was used for the lounge spaces (e.g., tufted couches and chairs, coffee tables). It was a mix of both traditional and contemporary furniture. The indoor and outdoor dining spaces consisted of modern high-tops with Tolix (or Tolix-style) stools. Inside, a glass fireplace separated the bar and lounge areas. Outside, they have a fairly-spacious patio that's mostly covered.Hidden off to the side are two golf simulators. You can bring your own clubs if you want. I saw some guy walk in with his bag. While we were here, on a Saturday after 6pm, there was some sort of event (shower) going on. This does look like an ideal event space for smaller gatherings.Plenty of free parking is available in the adjacent deck at 3705 National Drive.Service was friendly and efficient.The men's room was out of soap and paper towels.The Iron Oaks opened on January 15, 2022: https://www.instagram.com/p/CYwhijnLeOS/

This is in an interesting spot in the middle of a business park, retail, and apartments. I easily found parking on the street right outside, but there is also a parking deck right by it as well. Quite a bit of seating outside (covered) with portable heaters. We sat at a high top for 4 people. There are also couches you can sit at.Decent craft beer selection and you can get flights. They also have a cocktail menu, but I didn't look at it. The food was good. The fries that came with my Buffalo chicken sandwich were average and nothing special. The nachos my friend ordered as an appetizer were, unfortunately, a bit cold.They have a golf simulator thing in the back for those interested in it.

I feel like four stars is too high, but three stars is too low. To explain, I went with a group tonight. I have absolutely no complaints or concerns with the staff or the drinks that we had. The wings were delicious and the fries. However, the chicken sandwiches and hamburgers were horribly dry and overcooked. I bit into my chicken sandwich and it splintered it was so dry. but it was the worst sandwich I've had in a long time. I am hoping it was just the night that we went, but it was the worst sandwich I've had in a long time.

I have been to iron oaks a handful of times and every time the food has been delicious! I honestly think they have the best fries in all of Raleigh! And the beer selection is always excellent, I never have a problem finding something that I like to drink. And they let you try samples to see beer you like, which is very appreciated! The food menu is limited but everything on it is really good. I highly recommend this place!

Food is always great! Convenient location. Casual and clean. A good go to for a yummy and relaxing meal.

One of the best environments I've ever seen for bar food. Really great lounge area and some really nice patio seating out front. The menu is short and simple which helps pick out what looks interesting to you. I chose the iron Oaks burger, which was one of the best burgers I've had in the area! Was excellent and I really appreciate how the servers were. Definitely looking forward to coming back again and trying out the golf simulators!

Over in Glenwood Place, there's a lot of construction going on and one of the newest businesses in that neighborhood is The Iron Oaks! Part beer bar, part restaurant, part lounge, part golf simulator facility, it's sort of hard to describe what they are doing here. Inside the dining room it's pretty basic with some communal tables and high-tops where you can grab a beer. To the right, a comfy lounge-sitting room setup complete with a modern glass fireplace. And then in back, there are two full-size golf simulator bays to get your greens on. The menu here is primarily sliders and some basic eats, probably not enough for a full meal, more of a snack. I suspect they will get mostly a business crowd here due to the golf and nearby offices. Eventually it should be more of a residential crowd as the apartments get built out in Sojourn Place. An interesting spot, there will be more coming to the plaza soon....

I enjoyed the space. The drinks were good and the entire menu was all at a good price point as well. They looked over staffed so while some staff seemed nice and helpful, others seemed annoyed when asked for something. Like the service, food was hit and miss for my group. I was especially disappointed with the Blackened Mahi on my salad. It was a beautiful piece of fish but I don't know how they can call this blackened. I asked them to fix it, but I just ended up with an overcooked piece of fish that still wasn't seasoned correctly. Perhaps stick to burgers and fries at this spot.

We came here on a Sunday night and it was packed at all. We ordered at the counter and ordered a pineapple seltzer they had on tap and it was absolutely delicious!! We ordered a caesar salad to share and it was phenomenal. The portion probably wouldn't have been enough for one person. Loved the cheese crisp on top! We ordered a chicken & pulled pork nacho to share as well. It was topped with bbq sauce, beans, jalapeños, and queso. Only thing i wished was that were more veggies on it (tomato and lettuce really). The portion was a great size and perfect for sharing. My husband and i left full and satisfied. There is a parking garage right next to the building. The restaurant is located in a corporate building. Service was great. Highly recommend!
