Iron Rabbit Restaurant and Bar Review

Grilled cheese and crab bisque was yummy! Friendly service, clean space.

A little disappointed. I heard great things and got mediocre food. Meh.

The service is always spot on ,the food is always great !

Great meal. Server had a sad attitude, I hope it is temporary. Unless it's changed, you need to call in to gain entry or walk through posted gates even though signage says open for seated dining. Again, great meal!

What a great discovery! Tasty burgers and salad and good service, too.

We truly felt like guests of friends as we enjoyed our dinner here tonight. It is clear that exceptional thought and effort are being invested in both the food itself and the hospitality. We interacted with four different staff members over the course of the evening and each one made a genuine connection with us to ensure we were happy. The food exceeded our expectations (we loved the Iron Burger in particular) and the service was prompt, helpful, and sincere. We are grateful to have this restaurant in our neighborhood!

Hands down ..one of my favorite Oly eateries, check out there happy hour menu..gourmet burgers, and a mix of other great foods..comfy atmosphere and knowledgeable staff..

By far, the best fish-n-chips and super fast friendly service.

Incredibly good food. I got the lamb curry burger ($16), probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. The garlic fries ($5) are delicious.. wedge cut, whole garlic cloves, big slices of parmesan. We tried their home made root beer and cream soda ($5), we were pretty impressed and I believe it was bottomless.

Classy joint. Delicious food/menu that stands out compared to other local cuisine. Service is always on point - attentive, insightful and patient. Love coming in

The food was good, but pricey. Service was excellent The next time that I want a good burger, I'll go to Red Robin, which I like better and it's a lot less expensive.

Their food is good and the staff are very very friendly. A little on the expensive side, but the ambience and food quality makes it worth it. I just wish they had more to their menu, especially for vegetarian options.

Delicious quality food with very warm friendly service.

Food was excellent service was slightly strange but overall an amazing place to go

I love this place. The quality of the ingredients is top notch with a lot of it being organic. The service is always really good with very friendly and helpful employees. The menu is mostly American fare but with a thoughtful and creative element to most dishes. I am in love with the vegan portobello wrap. Make sure to order it with Chevron cheese and ask for some extra sauce to dip it in. Its heavenly.

Excellent food (love the Iron Burger), but the menu items have become quite pricey.

Excellent customer service. Homey. Good food. Easy. Quick. Accommodating. Small interior, which is a plus as far as I'm concerned. On rare occasions the size is an issue due to excess patrons.

I love it here; their burgers are amazing, and I love their pot of fire, it's tangy. (fancy fries and blue cheese/Gorgonzola) the current GM (Ross) is always a pleasure. His staff are top notch. :)

Food and atmosphere were good. The service was great. The prices were good.

A little pricy but food was good and service was excellent

Excellent speakeasy atmosphere, good food, fantastic drinks.

Great cocktails. Appetizers were good too. The lady did mess up on her check though. We will try itagain.

Staff is very friendly and efficient. Food was great.

Thoughtful chefs and presence here.... Amazing burger subbed with veggie patty, fig, goat cheese compote, arugula was great. 3 desserts all great. Best west side eatery in my opinion

Haven't had a bad meal yet. Always coming when we get the chance.

Very affordable, DELICIOUS food. This is a casual atmosphere, great for a family get together without all the fuss. And when I say DELICIOUS, I mean WOW! THIS IS REALLY GOOD!

The service was amazing! Our guy was so friendly and helpful. Then the food really knocked it out of the park. And the cocktails were absolutely perfect.

One of my favorite restaurants, food is reliably excellent.

A little spendy on top if a 18 percent mandatory tip. Food and service was great but I still would of like deciding on what the tip should of been.

Just love the Iron Rabbit. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The crab corn chowder is my favorite . Any time I want to treat a friend I go there every time. Service is great too!! Keep up the good work.

We went for Valentine's Day and ordered from the "Special" Valentine's Day menu. It was my first time there....and it was super disappointing. On the menu, the food sounded inspired and promising....it was mediocre at best. The steak was overcooked and under-seasoned. The Ahi tuna was decent, but the accompanying sides were lack luster. The service was OK, but not great. We probably won't be back.

Get fries, particularly the garlic fries, theyre awesome. The food is really good. No complaints. A burger will run you $15.00ish so be prepared for that.

The best gastropub in Thurston county, in my opinion. My girlfriend and I love this place.

Food is a bit on the pricey side, but it is fantastic. Great selection of beers as well.

Every time we've went we have had the same server, and he has always done a terrific job.

The service is very good. Very friendly staff. Good for family's or alone. They have a fantastic homemade ginger ale and root beer that was very tasty. I had the unbeatable burger and the comdoments were very tasty. The vegetarian beet burger was dry and underwhelming. My companion had the fish and chips and they said it was serviceable. I'd go back for the drinks.

Compelling mix of hippie, hipster, and new age vibe, with food to match. The food isn't weird or anything though, it's perfectly fine comfort food, but managed to feel modern and exciting too. I would definitely come back here.

Th servers are friendly! The food came out fast! AND IT WAS SO DELICIOUS. I tried the veggie burger (which is vegan) and it was so delicious! I csnt even describe our how fast I ate that burger because of how good it is!

The seating was a bit cramped when I went. Not very cozy. The food was decent, but not up to par with the price. It s certainly a decent enough place, but when planning to dine out in Olympia, it s not at the top of my list.

Service was great, all the staff were very nice. Food was just so-so. Now don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed my egg sandwich. But if you're asking 10 dollars for an egg sandwich on an English muffin it better be three times as delicious as an egg mcmuffin. And albeit the fancy ingredients, I found myself leaving thinking "Yeah, it was alright" oh, and whatever brand coffee they use as their standard house brew, it was delicious

Update: Serious decline in service and quality. Will not return.

Fresh fair in a clean location. Good service which is a must considering the 18% service charge included in the check for any party size. Prices are a bit high but the portions are generous and flavorful. 4 stars for prices for the type of food served. You can get a similar burger or entree for about 4 bucks less at other PNW locations.

My party sat at the bar, the bartender was great but our food came out cold, twice... my dish didn't have a lot of flavor my brother's burger though was pretty tasty even cold

Excellent meal and wonderful service. This was our first visit but we plan on many more.

Waiter was amazing. Food was on point. Will go back again!

Mom took me here with the promise of 'great burgers.' She was spot on. I got the rancher burger and she got the iron burger. I absolutely loved the chipotle berry bbq sauce on my burger, as well as all the other fixings. They all complimented each other well. Mom raved about her burger as well. We both cleaned our plates. We each also got the decadent brownie for dessert and it was definitely decadent. Our server was very friendly and personable. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in the Olympia area. Best burger I've had in a long time!

The menu was interesting. The food was good. I thought the name was very interesting and that is why we decided to have lunch here. The inside ambiance was hard to describe and all we could say is it just seemed off. I will be back one more time, but I think it is a bit overpriced. After the next try I will decide if I will come back after that.

If you want to spend $30 bucks for a cheese burger and a lemonade, this is your place... average quality... Tugboat Annie's burgers are much better.

The staff was very friendly and our waitress was very attentive. We were a party of 6 and the bill was pretty steep around 250.00 . The hamburger I had was dry and I didn't even finish it.

Went for a Birthday celebration on 12/31/2017 around 5:00pm; restaurant was fairly empty at the time. Dinner was fabulous but the service was awful. The waitress was very slow and lazy; never filled or offered water, appetizer plates were left on the table the entire time and wouldn't have been a problem but the tables are very narrow and crowded. We did have a party of 10 so the tip was automatically added to the bills at a rate of 18%! Ridiculous, the lazy waitress received $50 in tips for poor poor service. No way would I have left this waitress such a large tip for such poor, slow service. Very disappointing. I will have a very hard time ever going back to the Iron Rabbit and it was one our favorite places to have a nice meal.

Fries are amazing!!!!!! And fresh lemonade!!! The service was great!

Attentive wait staff, fast service. Iron Rabbit applies 18% service charge in lieu of gratuity. Petty cool. Rotating craft beer selection.

Incredible food, well-curated drinks, tasty cocktails, great service, and local ingredients. I was blown away by this restaurant. Don't miss their happy hour!

Staff are friendly, efficient and thoughtful with suggestions about the menu items when I had questions. Food is well prepared! Coupons reward return visits.

Great select of beer. Excellent high quality food. Wish they were a few dollars less on the drinks and food.

I loved this place... Prices are a bit high but it is local farm to table and the food was fantastic

Food was bland and tasteless. Took a long time to recieve on a rather not busy day. Portions do not justify the price.

Food is pretty good; fresh pub salad, good burger, great wedge fries. Price is a little high for what you get, particularly the steak. Tap list isn't super adventurous, but you should be able to find something you like. Service was ok one visit and very slow the next. I like the idea of the standard included tip.

Excellent cuisine! Great service and fairly priced !

Cute little place with unique burgers! Service is always friendly and the food is all locally sourced

We are super picky... but the waitress made our rare dining out experience amazing with her knowledge of ingredients and willingness to accommodate. Will definitely return!

Always great food, superior service, limited menu, dining room or bar, fair prices.

The handcrafted cocktails are amazing. The menu is great and eclectic. They are a little understaffed, but they are apologetic. The vibe is great.

I have always loved this place, the food is excellent, but a little pricey. Today I found they add an additional 18% surcharge to every bill, that is not 100% inclusive of the tip. I will miss eating here....

Local IRON RABBIT RESTAURANT
Extremely poor customer service and inconvenience.
Made reservations for 8 plus a highchair. Arrived. Entry was not wheelchair accessible (exit was).

Server seated us. We ordered. Drinks arrived. Server (whom by the way was very nice and apologetic) said we would have to move one or more to another table, that they could only seat 8 - highchair made 9. Ok, two of us will move. Two offered to moved. Server placed them at a table 10-12 feet away. Server comes back out. Sorry, I have to move you again as this table is reserved for later.

HUGH SIGH Ok, we ll make this work. Food is arriving. Now two different people have to move as the next seating was a booth - not wheelchair compatible.

Upon leaving, I did speak with the manager. Informed her that the WA guidelines, state they can seat 8 and Babies (highchair) is not counted. She said she was aware of that, but it s their own policy . REALLY, then that should have been stated when reservations were made.

Typically, I am not one who posts issues as this. Giving the benefit of doubt, and know we are all working through the masks, closures, reopening and life. I m also human, and at nearly $250, this hit the top. Customer service and accommodations would have been nice.

Overpriced tasteless food and super weird awkward staff.

It was really good. We liked the food that they cooked for us.

Amazing food and wonderful service! The food was all top notch and generous portions! We all had something different so we could try more things and it was all fantastic. And try, if you can, to save room for the bread pudding!

Great place for brunch! The Iron Mimosas are amazing.

Clean, good service, good food and simple menu - Apart from burgers and sandwiches, they don't really have much. But what they do have, they rock at.

Great menu, food and staff, but noisy and expensive for the market.

Wow a great business dinner. Tasty Local selection. To share and main portions. Also the bar staff were helpful and attentive. Nice local place with super high quality food.

Great locally sourced food. Well prepared and unique flavors. 18% gratuity ALREADY INCLUDED on your bill.

Delicious burgers and I LOVE the Italian Quesadilla. Also, their in-house root beer is just freaking delicious, sweetened with honey! We always sit in the bar, less crowded and the service is just as wonderful.

Small and cozy restaurant with a welcoming vibe.

Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The brunch menu offers comfort foods and old standards with interesting fusion twists.

The wait staff are pleasant and helpful, offering suggestions and managing substitutions without complaint or quirked eyebrow.

This is also the only restaurant in Olympia that has yet to bring me an incorrect order, a rare feat for any restaurant.

Worthy of a visit for a local or if you're just a passer-through.

Disorganized, rude owner, prices include gratuity so everything is very pricey, you never know what you ll get.

Iron rabbit has excellent burgers and great service. The cocktails are well balanced and the beer selection is awesome. This is a nice little gem in an obscure corner of Olympia.
