Iron Sharpens Iron - AVL — Restaurant in Fletcher

Update: I wrote my first review after randomly stumbling across this place, and in the past 1.5 years I have come back on average once per week. The best way I can think of to describe the style of food is it is what I would expect to find at a sports stadium in the upscale box or club seat areas. Think normal stadium fare (burgers, hotdogs, brats, and other grilled sandwiches), but with a subtle twist that somehow makes it the most delicious thing ever.

Alejandro makes 2 new specials every week (with the rare repeat), and there's nothing he makes that I don't love. He has even made dishes that I traditionally don't like, but since he's making it I give it a try, and even those dishes I have loved. If I don't feel like trying that week's specials (or I've gone more than once that week) there's a double cheeseburger that is always available. I can confidently say it is one of the best (and probably the best) burger I've ever eaten (and eaten and eaten and eaten). It isn't anything fancy, but the special sauce should probably be labeled as an addictive substance.

Oh, and about those cheesesteaks, he did not disappoint. But he only does it 1-2 times per year, and has a limited supply (and I do feel a little guilty about putting a significant dent in that supply).

Original review: Stopped at the Village Food Truck Park in Fletcher where Iron Sharpens Iron is a mainstay. I had a mouth-watering grilled sausage sandwich and my vegetarian wife had the chicken caprese sandwich with the chicken on the side (for me of course, and I couldn't get enough of it). Chatted a bit with the proprietor, Alejandro, and he talked about some upcoming items that I can't wait to try out (he's from Philly and sounds like he knows his cheesesteak game, but that wasn't on this week's menu). I will definitely...

If you like smash burgers — actually, even if you don’t like smash burgers — this is hands down the best burger in town! Get it the way it comes. I don’t even eat tomatoes or onions normally, but the way everything is put together here just works. Every single bite is incredible. You’d think there’s no way the next bite could taste as good as the last, but it does — every time.

Alejandro cooks it right in front of you, and he does an amazing job. Beyond just being a great cook, he’s an awesome guy and you can tell God has truly blessed him. Seriously, this isn’t just the best burger in town — it’s the best burger...

amazing in every way! i got the Colombian burger (hopefully it becomes a regular special) & it was the best smash burger I’ve ever had. the patties were perfectly thin, great pickles, & the sauces spectacular. can’t wait to try more...
