Review of Black Iron Grill
Restaurant was at half way point in our trip to KC.
Stopped there on a Saturday evening about 7 pm.
We were seated quickly but it took nearly 20 min. before we saw a waitress. At the time they were busy but not overly so.
Wife ordered 16 oz T-bone – med.
I ordered 16 oz Ribeye – med. rare
These entrees came with 2 sides.
I chose the one trip salad bar option. This side added $2 to the price.
The salad bar was lettuce, toppings, dressings, and a potato salad.
When our Steaks arrived, I took a bit off the end and noticed that it was extremely rare.
Cutting into the steak, it was completely raw. Not just rarer than I wanted, but purple raw.
I was in the meat business for over 30 years. From slaughtering to cutting (old school hanging beef) and cooking.
Not only was this steak raw but it was near canning quality beef. Not remotely close to restaurant quality.
Our waitress was a trooper. Did the best she could under the circumstances.
Called our waitress over and told her the steak wasn’t remotely close to being done and showed her the inside of the steak. She visibly shuddered at the sight.
She told me she would get me a new steak. She asked to see it again and she not only visibly shuddered at the sight, but even let out a “eww”
She came back shortly after and said they would only reheat it. And when she did bring it back, it had been cut into even more. It was a disaster.
I just refused the whole thing.
My Wife’s steak though cooked was not cooked quite to her liking. But it was apparently close enough. It was rather rare around the bone area.
In the end, we paid for my wife’s meal and our drinks.
Cannot recommend this place at all.

My T bone was awesome! The cook under does his steaks slightly, so for example if you like rare asked for medium rare and it will be just the way you want. Good and you juicy. Our waitress Holly was pretty cool too. Thank You Holly, you made the whole thing come together. Quick and right there when you needed her, yet still not pushy . Holly keep up the good work thank you. I could look at the walls for hours in this place

I was here a few weeks ago and had the best filet mignon I’ve ever had. Came back again and sat on the bar side. I ordered mild wings and got hit ones with bbq sauce. Ordered the filet again, medium, and it was so rare it didn’t even bleed. The service was horrible. Bartender never once asked if I wanted another drink. Got the second one after asking. Couldn’t finish the steak even after it had been sent back. Not sure I’ll drop another dime here.

Went in here on a Monday night at the first of October, sat at the bar. Bartender seemed to care less if I was there or not, performed her duties in a perfunctory fashion. Got my beer and menu pretty quickly. My steak was just OK, got the 12 oz sirloin. Cooked medium just fine but not much flavor.
On the TV’s they were showing “The Voice” while the stereo played other music fairly loud. Not a big deal, until, it was Game time. I asked for the TVs over the bar to be put on the Monday Night Football game, and heard others request this as well. They changed one TV out of 8 in the place on a side wall of the bar to the game, and put poker on another TV while the rest stayed on “The Voice”. When pressed, the bartender said the manager did what she could, and they weren’t going to change any more channels.
When I left early to go home and watch the game, I told the manager/owner that I was unhappy about not being able to stay and watch the game. She said, “This is Not a Sports Bar.” So there ya go, If you want a mediocre steak and a nice place to listen to music while you watch “The Voice” on Monday night, this is the place for you! I’m guessing they’ll show “The Bachelorette” when it’s on too.

This marks the first time I’ve ever used the 1-star “hated it”. I usually try to find the bright side and things I can compliment businesses on.
My visit started with a greeting of the group of employees at the till and asking if they had wifi. The saloon is situated in a truck stop and most truckers look forward to a little time online after a long day. The older one (the owner/manager?) snapped back, “Not if you’re going to use it for porn!”. I was taken aback, and thinking perhaps she was joking responded back jokingly.
I never knew the crickets in Missouri chirped so loudly when someone was giving you the scornful cold shoulder.
The food was good, cooked to my specifications, the beer was cold and the prices par to a little high. But my waitress crossed the line from “attentive and helpful” to “pestering” and then gave the distinct impression she was railroading me out of there. She asked if I wanted a take-out container when I was about 1/2 way through my meal and still eating. Then she asked if I wanted dessert before I’d finished my first course. I asked if they were closing early for the night, but they weren’t. I was still slightly amused at just how poorly they were treating a paying customer — one of the few in the establishment despite it being supper time.
But the final straw came at the end of my visit. I was just about done my online work but had to visit the loo. I took my bill and paid it on the way and then returned to my table to finish off a few things and log out. That’s when the bouncer came over and told me a waitress had accused me loitering, had called the manager and she had “required” him to come and tell me I was no longer welcomed there.
It had been fewer than 15 minutes since I’d paid; and left a considerable tip not because my waitress was good but because I usually do when I linger and use the wifi.
I’ve given the manager/owner a chance to return my call and give me her side of the story before publishing this review; because every story has at least 2 sides. So far she’s declined.
Local scuttlebutt is she’s trying to sell the business. Any prospective buyers should be prepared for a long haul in trying to restore a customer base that has been active sabotaged and driven away. I would agree with another reviewer here who commented that they appear to hate their customers.

The steaks are really good and the baked potatoes are BIG. They have two section bar with music and stuff and restaurant side if you don’t feel like eating in the bar section. They also have 77oz steak if you dare. I think it FREE if you can eat it.

I haven’t even had the food yet, but I can already tell this place hates is customers.
Edit: I got the bbq bacon cheeseburger and wife got a baked potato. Burger was Ok, fries were freshly cut but soggy. Wife’s baked potato was cold. Pretty sure we’ll both be sick by the time we get home.

Not worth the money . I asked for medium well they gave me brunt . Then they stuffed everything on one plate like they don’t have any extra plates . Eat at own risk Sapps Bros got a way better cook just minutes down the road. I have read all the good reviews I wish I had come here 2 yrs ago . They must have lost there old cook or alot of people don’t have taste buds.

I have traveled all the major highways, and most the minor ones, in the continental United States, and eat out constantly. I’ve spent over $50 on a steak in a fancy Las Vegas restaurant that made me wish I was eating here at the Black Iron Grill again.

Been here 20 min waiting on my food. Salad bar is sub par. Dried out not cold lettuce just like the bags that they sell in Walmart. All the other veggies are cut huge a sure sign on a lazy staff also the rest of the salad bar is not looking very cold or fresh. I’ll never come back.
