Review The Iron Oven - Southampton

Plenty of parking in the rear. Loved the atmosphere inside. The bar/dining area we sat at was really cool. Room was sort of octagon shaped. You could see by the garage type tracks in the ceilings, that the windows all opened up in nicer weather. Take notice to the light fixtures so they don’t interfere with this. The whole area we saw was very clean. Our server was great (never got his name). Very attentive to us. There was a nice warm feeling inside. Between the wood & the lighting. Plenty of tv’s to watch your favorite game. The bar was big. The food was great. Our only slight complaint was the wait. The soups came out the same time as our meal. We were trying to hurry eating the soup a bit so that our main meal didn’t cool down much. Not a game changer for another visit though. The soups were excellent. I got the Chicken & Orzo Soup. Delicious! It wasn’t overly salty like a lot of soups tend to be. Tasted home made. The same with my wife’s French Onion Soup. And plenty of mozzarella cheese & crunchies on top. My wife & I got burgers. I had the turkey burger. It was huge!!! By the end I had to cut it with a knife & fork. Our fries were made just the way we like then. Dry & crunchy on the outside. This stop was for lunch. Portions were so good, we didn’t have to eat dinner later that night. And we couldn’t finish our whole meal. There was a whole sitting area in another room that we never got in to see. Definitely going to be a stop on our travels. Can’t wait to try some other items off their huge menu!! Such a great find!!!

The atmosphere is upbeat and our server was wonderful. We both got burgers and they were cooked perfect. Best burger I’ve had in the area. They give very generous portions. I was stuffed to the max. A very tasty espresso martini. You won’t regret stopping in.

Great experience at the Iron Oven. Had the Diablo burger. Enjoyed the flavors between the burger patty and sausage. Not too spicy. The fries were crispy. Also tried the mango habanero wings. Was glad that the flavor was balanced well with spice and not too sweet. Looking forward to coming back.

The food was delicious. Crispy, goeey, and everything you would expect. The service for our party of 11 was under impressive. The waiter, although attentive, didn't take our dinner orders until after we finished eating all of our appetizers, and the plates were cleared, which was over an hour after our party all arrived. He was very nice but must've been extremely busy. I overheard him mention he was new but the restaurant shouldn't have put their new employee on such a large table with additional other tables to take care of. He was just not ready yet for the task. Overall the food was good and the atmosphere was pleasant for our party. I'll be back and hope the waiter is better trained and ready next time.

Never had a bad meal. The French onion is to die for. The pizza is excellent, for coming from a bar. Burgers also are good. Service has always been very good. The fries are okay though. Highly recommend the place, compared to other places ( Steam ) in the neighborhood.

Our service was excellent. The bartender greeted us immediately. Chrissy and Greg were very attentive. Our drinks were fantastic. Our service is always wonderful when we go there. The bartender 's are always glad to see us and very helpful. FOOD is always delicious. Overall, we enjoyed everything as usual. We always enjoy the food and service here.

Every single time I've been here it has been amazing. Currently eating a leftover French dip from last night and sitting here wondering how it's still so good the next day. I just went through the one star reviews and I firmly believe they were made by people who just like to complain. I love that the owner responds to everyone instead of just allowing them to complain. I truly think this is the best food, atmosphere, and service in the area. I think I've had half the menu by now. I tell all my friends and family from out of town to come here. And I finally have somewhere to go out to dinner with my dad, who is the pickiest person on planet earth. Thanks for being super cool, accommodating, and so welcoming! We love youuuuu!!!

The food and drinks were amazing!!!!! My family ordered takeout before eating at the restaurant, and even that was cooked to perfection for even DoorDash! We knew after that great experience we had to come in person to try it out, and it didn’t disappoint at all. Definitely our new favorite spot and will be returning.😁

Lost for words! If I am having cheese galore, this would be the dish and place 🤩. The Stromboli calzone was so huge that it could easily feed 5-6 people.

We finally got to eat here as it is usually so crowded that we just leave. Our beers were served quickly, followed by our food around 5-8 minutes later! We were shocked! Our server Jake was really excellent. Attentive to all his tables and provided nice conversation in between serving others. The food was ok but not that "mmmmmm" good. I'll be back again only if it's not super busy.

This was a first time visit for my best friend and me. I was mainly drawn to this restaurant because I saw on the menu that cauliflower crust was an option for their pizzas. It has been difficult to find an establishment that has that offering. The server was very nice and helpful. The food came out relatively fast which was impressive due to how crowded it was. The bbq sauce on the boneless wings -well balanced. The Iron Oven Pizza on the cauliflower crust was delicious. The onion rings were on point as well. We lucked out in getting seating but I would suggest to come as early as possible for dining in. Otherwise, there probably would be a wait on the weekends. Definitely a great ambiance for people to get together for food and drinks or to watch sports on game day.

We ordered Uber eats the food was great but we would love to be able to order to go drinks and also there’s no option for the gluten-free or cauliflower pizza or flatbread on the app. We finished the cauliflower crust pizza in five minutes flat!

Our first time here. And the food and service was amazing. It's pretty cool looking inside too. We had Devon as a waitress and she was awsome very attetentive. We will definitely be back! As you can see we have been back here many times. We love it here only once did we have horrible service the waitress let us sit there over 10 minutes noone came up do we moved to bar. I recommend sitting in bar area we always have great service there. And the food NEVER disappoints us. I highly recommend it Here. If you love French onion soup definitely here is our top 5.

This is our new best place. My wife and I went this afternoon for a casual bite for lunch and it was tasty and priced right. I had the french dip with onion rings and the meat was delicious and bread toasted nicely and the onion rings were crispy the way they should be. Great selection of beers and service was friendly. Will definitely be back soon.

Had a great time here. Food was great the and the place passed the vibe check. Service could have been a bit faster but overall I'd return here.

We have been here a few times in the last year or so and have enjoyed ourselves very much. I've especially enjoyed the Balsamic Honey Chicken salad. Had fresh, ripe blueberries, strawberries, avocado, and a generous portion of good quality grilled chicken breast strips. The Homemade Egg Rolls (cheesesteak) were also much better than most place's offerings. Thin, crispy exterior crust with satisfying filling; again large portion size for an appetizer. Most serving staff seem content and pleasant. It can get a bit loud when it's busy, but it's somewhat of a sports bar too so I guess that's to be expected. Prices are a bit on the high side: $15-20 for apps and bar food, $20-30 for entrees, so a meal for two, with a couple drinks and tip runs close to $100. Good quality food and generous portion sizes though.

***December 2022 UPDATE*** We came here for lunch with the kids. We were early enough to get multiple menus including the brunch menu. My one son ordered the pancakes from that menu while my wife and I had pizza and Flatbread while my other son ordered the kids Mac and Cheese with a side of French Fries. I like how every month the special menus change as well as the drink menu. My wife ordered a holiday inspired drink with lunch. I have to say everything was great and the Fries are by far the best around. We love coming here and will return again. ***July 2022 UPDATE*** My wife and I decided to come here for a dinner alone. We waited about 15 minutes to get a table so we waited at the bar until out table was ready. Drinks were good. When we finally sat we had great service from our waitress. We ordered the Salmon dinner as well as a pepperoni pizza. Both were very good just like the first time. Really enjoyed our second visit. ***ORIGINAL REVIEW*** We just tried The Iron Oven and it was great. We called ahead to make sure we had a table that could accommodate my grandmother who is in a wheelchair. There is handicapped parking facing street road and there is a handicapped accessible entrance in the front but the front is really the back as the host is in the back of the building. Just a little confusing but we know for next time. The staff was very friendly and they seemed to be well staffed as we saw tables being cleared as needed and food coming out fast. There was 4 adults and 2 kids in our party and the place while seemingly adult focused There were lots of kids there. The menu is extensive. Almost the entire one side is pizza, flatbreads and calzones while the other has a mix of sandwiches, soups, appetizers and entrees. Most of us ordered entrees and half ordered drinks. The drink menu is also extensive between custom cocktails, craft draft and bottles. I do wish the cocktail menu had prices but I understand prices change. They arrived quickly and were fantastic. The waitress was very friendly and had our order into the kitchen quickly. It didn't take long for food to come out. I started with a bowl of New England Clam Chowder which had big pieces of Clam and was very fresh and not super thick. We got nachos for the table and they were fresh as well with a big side of sour cream and guacamole. The dinners came out before we had finished the nachos which isn't a big deal but the table was crowded with food quickly. Everything was very good. Two of us enjoyed salmon while one had prime rib and the others had pizza. I'll say the kids pizza could feed two or three kids so keep that in mind when ordering. Altogether 4 adults and 2 kids our meal was in the $30 per person range including tax not tip. Not bad for the quality of food and the cocktails. We are definitely coming back again.

Took a 95-year-old friend out for her birthday for dinner, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. We had three different appetizers, three different cocktails and three different entrées. Obviously, there were three of us at dinner, but we all shared so we could all try the different foods. We were absolutely impressed with the quality of food, the presentation and the ambience. Friendly, yummy and just a great experience. All of the servers from our own waitress to everybody going by, were attentive and helpful and sang happy birthday with great enthusiasm.
