Iron Horse Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Algonquin

Had a horrific experience with one of the female bartenders here. Iron Horse not only employs rude people, but is a breeding ground for antisemitism and hate.

The bartender in question was not only rude to myself but two of my friends. After asking her if an old customer still comes in (his wife used to be the manager), we were met with a nasty attitude and a bombardment of questions. When confronted on her harsh reaction, she claimed that she's on the spectrum.

Later on that night, I heard her remark to another customer that I looked Jewish and that my people are "thieving war criminals" and "shifty-eyed heebs". Never in my life have I felt so unwelcome, especially at an establishment that I hold near and dear to my heart. In tears, I left and went home to my wife and our three wonderful children Ezekiah, Jabekial and Yuno-Miles.

I myself am on the autism spectrum, but never in my life have I used that as an excuse to spread hate and bigotry. It saddens me that a once great community bar has sunk to such a level.

Iron Horse, I call upon you in this dark hour to take the higher path and remove these insidious people from your establishment. It takes a lifetime to defeat hatred but all it takes is one bar to...

We went for a late lunch this past Saturday with 8 of us. Traveled from Wisconsin to have lunch with my nephew.

I wish I caught her name, but our waitress was fantastic! Super friendly and attentive. The bartender was also very nice and made some good drinks (according to my family). The place wasn’t very busy and we didn’t feel rushed at all, which was nice.

We got fried pickles and chips & guac with salsa for apps and loved them! The kids pizza was huge and actually very good. I got the carne asada tacos and a cup of chili. I can honestly say that the chili was some of the best chili I’ve had and the tacos were amazing. My mom got the pulled pork sandwich, she loved it and it was packed with pork! Everybody loved their meals.

It was nice they had high chairs available and a changing table in the bathroom! Definitely kid friendly with the crayons and paper as well.

Will definitely be making the...

Just moved down the street from this place, so we had high hopes that it could become our new go to place. It took 10 minutes for a server to get to us, and another 15 to return with our drinks. We ordered the pretzel bites appetizer. When it finally came, it was the most disappointing, pretzel bite dish I had ever seen. The bites were cold, and it was served with COLD refried beans, nacho cheese sauce that tasted like it came out of a gallon can from Walmart, and the grossest honey mustard I think I’ve ever tasted. During this whole time, our server was nowhere to be seen. We couldn’t even order our main dish, which was a blessing because we walked out after the terrible appetizer. Our bill total for two sodas, and the appetizer was about $23. They also didn’t say anything about the card fee that was added. We will definitely not...
