Iron Rabbit Restaurant and Bar Reviews

The lamb burger with a black berry cobbler is simply the best!

Went there on my birthday, I let them know it was my birthday. The waitress said happy birthday in a very low voice. Asked for the dinner points sign up and didn't get it. Dinner was ok. My son didn't get what he asked for and I told them about my allergy, what was on my plate, what I said I couldn't have. My son had to wait for the right meal and we had to pay for both. Yes we eat part of it. But the guy who brought it said go ahead eat while we get the right one. I wanted steak. Didn't know this wasn't a steak place, got fish and chips 85$ for 3 people is on the high side, 2 fish and 1 bacon burger. The plates were on the small side. The people were very nice, no wait at all to be seated, and drinks were fast, dinner came fast.

Had such a really great time, I had the Fig Onion Buger it was great. I plan to visit again soon .

Delicious (and unique) food, great service and INCREDIBLE desserts! I do feel like the menu stays the same over a long period of time and the menus I had were kind of gross (printed on cardstock and it just made you feel like a thousand people had handled it...ick), but the consistently good food will always make me want to return!

One of my favorite restaurants in Olympia for all meals- Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner- you can't go wrong. The bar is quaint, friendly and comfortable. The dining room is well done and the service has always been wonderful. From the drinks to the food to the whole establishment- you can't go wrong here!

I am vegetarian and me and my friend went to iron rabbit and got 'THE BEST' FOOD. In short awesome place to have a meal. They got one of the best vegetarian burger I ever tasted, One should must visit and experience the awesome food.

These people absolutely live up to their goal of being friendly. The wait staff seemed to know all of the customers, personally! My partner's lamb burger (she usually skips the roll, but she ate a bunch of this one) was delicious. My veg burger was crumbly-hard to-manage but seriously tasty. The space is a little bit tight and might get noisy when full. Bring your kids and enjoy a local beer and a friendly table.

Good food. Took a long time to get the food though.

Always tasty. I'm a big fan of the Drunken Sailor. Their built-in service charge (no gratuity necessary) feels like a positive step toward fair pay for servers.

Food was great, service was excellent, and truly a west Olympia gem.

The stars are only for the food, twas delicous.
And the waitress/ bartender was nice..
BUT
When i wanted to order a 3rd drink she notified me we had a three drink limit and that my first cocktail is considerd 2 followed the pittiful barely half glass of wine i had with dinner. Even tho my partner, who is older, had 2 full beers before hand, asked for a cocktail and she had no problem serving him a noticably stronger cocktail then mine. I asked why she has a 3 drink limit and she replied that its set to protect the costumers while gesturing towards me. Yes i am 21, which may lead to a concern of over drinking and not knowing ones limits, but i wasnt drunk, barely tipsy to begin with, we were there for over 3 hours, and im an adult and surely didnt need a bartender to mother me.

Food was wonderfull tho, highly recomend the chicken masala.

Our server Makenna was delightful, drinks were strong, and the food was amazing! Pricey but quality was worth it for a romantic date night.

Good food, recommend Fish, and Iron burger. Good place for family & friends to meet and eat. Staff take good care of your needs.

Ridiculous!! Over Prices! Empty! Keep on going!! Wish I did!!!

Husband and I went here for the first time and we were greatly impressed. Food is a little pricey, but you are paying for delicious food and great service.

We ate here for the first time on Friday night and it was wonderful. We shared the lamb meatballs as an appetizer, then I had a yummy salad and my husband had the Zola burger...excellent. My husband also had the Pot de Creme for dessert and said it was very good!

Love this place seasonal local menu all fresh. Root beer is great and service is always fantastic.

A cozy place with a simple yet varied menu. Portions were generous without being oversized. Friendly staff and skilled cooks. Rabbits were actually Iron.

Bitter Rabbit house beer was a nice English Pale Ale.

The food was really good. We tried it a few years ago and it was un-impressive, but this time I really enjoyed my burger with roated garlic and roasted red pepper and my husband said his fish and chips were really good.

Stopped by after seeing the Yelp reviews. Must say that this place did not disappoint! The family enjoyed a delicious lunch. Wait staff was also courteous and attentive. We also liked the fact that the serve carrots as a side for the kid meals. This was very much welcomed given how french fry happy our kids meals have become in this country...

Recommended for the food and cocktails. Only complaint is that I wish that it was a bit brighter inside the restaurant.

Good meal and reasonable prices. Ambiance lacking a little.

Good service, grass fed beef burgers, but kind of pricy. They have homemade brewed root beer. Nice music . Friendly atmosphere.

Mixed review.
I am from out of town and when I an on travel I try never to rest at a chain that I can get at home.
For that this was 5 . It was very good and got some flavors that I normally don't get.
Service never missed a beat.5 .
My main issue is price and mandated 18% tip
I had one glass red wine and the Sicilian burger on gluten free bun total bill 39.02.
I think I'd is about 10 to high including tip.
I could see 29.00 with tip.

Always a pleasure eating at the Iron Rabbit. Staff is always friendly and a lot of fun, the atmosphere is great, and the food is exceptional. Prices seem a bit above when you pay, but they include the gratuity so you don't have to worry about a tip. Love going to the IRON RABBIT.

Service was slow food was bland if you bring your own seasonings . I'll never go there again

Fantastic food. OMG even in the middle of a viral pandemic I would show up here fork in hand. House root beer and ginger beer is great if you don't drink alcohol. Don't cheat yourself, TRY THIS FOOD.

Good ambiance, friendly service. The chips were delicious. I made the mistake of ordering the lamb burger. The meat was tough, and I'm not sure what was on it, but I'm certain it was not actually tzatziki--it tasted like plain Greek yogurt.

Braden is a great bartender, so funny and attentive. We love the Iron Rabbit. Sometimes just for drinks and a snack other times we have family dinners. The service is impeccable every time we visit.

Wow... This place is a game changer for the area. The unique flavors and complex combinations make the Iron Rabbit a place I'm eager to come back and try more. Don't let the higher prices fool you. Every penny is worth it. Get there now!

From Vancouver, WA, found this restaurant quite by accident, food great, atmosphere wonderful, the waiter was to die for ladies.

Very warming atmosphere with outstanding customer service. The food at this restaurant is beyond belief. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

It was GREAT. We have some friends we go out for breakfast every weekend. One of the main things that we talked about was what we were going to have to eat the next time that we came here. I would highly recommend it

Perfectly cooked eggs and the Reviver was very refreshing.

LOVE their burgers! My partner took me here while in Olympia and I enjoyed the fig and onion burger (yum!). Then the following week I drove out of my way to come back here for lunch before a meeting and had the rancher burger.

Fantastic service and food, every time I visit. Thanks guys!

Very cool, hip place where they let you take your time. Many interesting and unusual dishes, plus drinks. Great atmosphere for conversation, etc.

Great food, great drinks, chill atmosphere, clean, and friendly

The food was delicious. The servings were a bit small for the price but the taste more than compensated for that. I will definitely be going back to try more food options. (I was so hungry when the food came, I didn't take a picture. Next time I will)

Too expensive for the amount of food and it doesn't taste good

Good food. Clean and simple atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Good food. My favorite is the blackened cod sandwich with the pot of fire (which is chips with some amazing sauce).

Amazing burger and I asked for the fries to be extra crispy and they were perfect. Always a good eating experience here! Waiters awesome.

Just happened in, and would definitely come back. Loved the menu! Many choices of gluten free and organic greens and chicken! The servers were antentive, but not overboard, and lastly, restrooms smelled of cleanliness.

Way overpriced and totally not worth going in for because of that

Without a doubt, one of my favorite restaurants. Food and service are both top notch. Great loyalty program, I'm also a fan of the built on service charge instead of tipping. Been here on date night with my husband and girls night with my friends - Iron Rabbit never disappoints!

Very good food. Slightly spendy but will certainly go back. Great root beer they make.

Amazing food and very friendly staff, possibly the best burger I ve ever had. Their selection is a wonderful mix of new American style with classic American flavors.

I love this place! Clean restaurant, polite staff, and delicious food best brunch in Oly

Awesome group dining experience! All 24 people in our group enjoyed their food and wanted to return if they were in the area again.

Me and my boyfriend went on a Saturday night and we're seated right away. I got the rancher burger and he got the fish and chips. The burger was one of the best ones I've ever had and the garlic fries were delicious. The fish and chips were good, not great but there were 3 decently size pieces. Our drinks were good and the server was nice and attentive. It is a little pricey so we won't go very often but we will definetly be back.

Not very good.....watery eggs and both myself and boyfriend were ill after eating there.

Smart menu options all th way through, and beautiful, quality meal. Veggie burger and gluten free bun were very satisfying. Local options, including coffee, beer. Nice atmosphere, great service. I sincerely appreciate that single-use plastics are downplayed at Iron Rabbit (no plastic cups for sauces, etc.), and you must ask for a straw if you want one (I say "No Straw please" everywhere I eat). Iron Rabbit composts food waste, supports local, and offers compostable leftover boxes. Kudos.

Near closing but good service. First time visiters pay a mandated 18% tip

This is some good food! We both had burgers and basically inhaled them because they were so good. Great fresh, local ingredients. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the ambience is great. We splurged for dessert, too, and was not disappointed! Our server pointed out which options had fresh local fruit, which is a great touch!

Great food. Prices and billing scheme are high and weird. Honestly, they should just bump the already high prices up a couple bucks to "really high" and dispense with the speech about a mandatory server fee upcharge. I'm here for food and to relax, not to suffer your political views about wage law.

Great place to see geriatrics eat overpriced dinner at a "club/discount" price

One of my top 5 burgers ever! All 3 of us at lunch loved the food!

Honestly, the Rancher burger with grass fed beef and brioche bun was the best burger I ve eaten in 2020.

Our server was so friendly and kind that she almost felt like a movie character! The house made root beer is stellar too.

I would eat here again gladly when in the area.

It had some decent food, and the service was very friendly. A little on the expensive side though. Not my top pick, but I'd recommend giving it a try.

My husband like the blackberry pear hard cider that he had the sicilisn hamburger,was a little overdone he thought for the amount of money for it was a little much. my mother and I had the fish chips, one was Curry and the other original, both were over battered and overcooked and very Grease. On a positive side the service was really good.

Our orders were wrong, we were forgotten about and we were the only customers. And to pay 18.00 for a salad seems wrong

Wow poor service and dead quiet. Where are the costumers? Plus there is an 18% gratuity right off the bat....well I better get good service....oh wait the service was horrible!

First time here. When I walked in, the food smelled so good.. We sat in the bar, the service was great, the food was great. I will be back.

Nice place. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Outstanding food!

Very good service and accommodating with menu exchanges.

The chicken cordon was freaking amazing. Some of the best food I've had.

Food was fantastic service was great showed up at the very end of the night and still got the same treatment! Definitely recommend this place! Gluten free/vegan options available!

One of the better restaurants in Olympia. Don't let its minimalist and simple menu fool you.

Delicious dishes made from fresh and local ingredients. Very accomidating and knowledgeable of gluten sensitivity. Great service and cost environment.

Amazing brunch and excellent staff. Had the lamb omelette, it was so very good. Really enjoyed it.
