Iron Horse Ranch House in South Kesteven

We popped in on a Saturday night. were surprised it was pretty empty; maybe three tables were used. Unfortunately, we didn't check the menu before arriving. Not a lot of choice and really pricey, I think one dish was nearly £30 which is fine if the place was full, but that fact that it was dead on a Saturday night and the little bistro across the road was full told me that the food was probably not going to be worth it. There was nothing on the menu that we wanted, so we left without eating, hence no stars for food or service.

Love this place! Fab place and staff are great.

Amazing place great service, food a bit expensive for the quality, but definitely I will return

Brilliant place I wish we lived in the village we travel 30 miles just for breakfast or a meal

Cannot fault it at all, excellent friendly and helpful staff, prompt service and the good was fantastic. Looking forward to catching a few events in the future

Lovely lady and gorgeous cakes and milkshakes.

A great friendly place with authentic decor let down by very average food. Had a philly cheesesteak and the bread was bone dry and a small amount of grated cheese, not even melted. The fries were nice though

Really friendly place with great food! Came here with my dad for my birthday, and the lady who served us was so bubbly and friendly

Great food for our work Christmas outing.

Great place to visit, nice breakfast, friendly staff, dog friendly.

Great food and nice little place

Good venue i visited early morning so quiet so no comment on atmosphere

On arrival we were passed a piece of paper which had a fairly basic not too American menu on and it seemed quite expensive for the place . We’ve been before and it’s always been avid menu and food but unfortunately not this time I mean the food was edible but just not good enough for the price . Most main courses were in the £20 region when popping in after school/work for a quick tea it’s not really what I’m looking at paying . I think the menu needs a good looking at to entice the sort of people that will dine there at the moment it’s mostly empty and I’ve got to wonder why . I paid in the region of £60 for our tea that night for one main and three milkshakes and it definitely wasn’t worth that .

I spotted this place while passing through and it looked awesome, so I don't some research and found it on Facebook, its my type of food, the wife had this humongous burger which has two beef patties chorizo bacon spicy cheese with salad and fries, this tasted amazing and she left some fries, I had a full rack of ribs with a light spiced bbq sauce, the ribs were ok not much flavour to them but with the sauce it was good, price wise for the amount of food we had we about £20 each main, I'd say its worth it for a nice evening out, kids menu I could see other kids having food which looked a decent size, staff was friendly and gave advice on what to have as I asked, will come again to try something else.

Amazing vegan food!!! And such a friendly service

Third time for breakfast. Not very consistent as the breakfasts seem to be different every time. Different sausages, different bacon etc But my main issue is the plastic plates. I’m not 10! I guess if you really want to be like an American Ranch House, they should be using plastic knives and forks too! But eating off plastic diminishes the quality of the experience considerably for me.

Decent eatery good food service atmosphere..something different it is primarily a bikers cafe but I'm no biker but still liked it so don't be afraid if you don't wear leathers etc .

We were there for an oktoberfest so no the usual fayre but staff were very friendly and the whole place seemed well run.

Waited over 30 minutes. Burger was burnt on the outside and uncooked in the middle, overpriced and underwhelmed will not visit again

Burger was pink in the middle, won't be ordering again.

Under cooked food absolutely shocking pay that much for food I can't even eat, last time I'll be ordering!! You owe me 34£, who you got cooking your food stevie wonder 🤔 jobsworths!!!

We came for a folk roots night at the ranch. Great food, music, service and atmosphere. Thank you to all involved.

Visited at the weekend hoping to get some milkshakes. Waited 20 mins just for someone to come over and take our order. The girl who took our order apologised for the wait so was aware we had been there for quite some time. There were only 3 other tables occupied and the staff were spending plenty of time looking at their phones or chatting to each other, so not exactly rushed off their feet. After ordering we waited.....and waited....and waited. After a 25 mins wait from the point of ordering, I asked if our order had actually been started yet, given that 3 milkshakes shouldn't take too long to prepare. And....nope, after a bit of confusion and questions back & forth it turned out they hadn't even started them. I guess they just forgot the order. So, after 45 mins of wasted time, we ended up leaving and going somewhere else. What is annoying, is that the staff were frequently milling about between the bar and the kitchen and evidently no one thought to perhaps check and see what was going on with the frustrated looking family of 3 in the corner and how their order was progressing. When we left, we were literally the only people inside the venue apart from the staff. Visited two other times in the last year and service was almost as slow each time, although we did actually get our orders on those occasions. Each time there's been only a few other customers, so not like we'd expect much of a wait based on an overloaded kitchen. Gonna avoid from now on, which is a shame as we used to be regular customers for breakfast when the business was sited in the smaller original location over the road.

Fantastic service. They were so kind to my pups. They had their first pupacinno and loved it. Make sure you have a milkshake, Delicious 😋

Great food in a chilled atmosphere. Love this place

Lovely afternoon watching dancing and listening to music. Shame the young waitress/ bartender, dressed in black, appeared gormless and quite rude when approached. No matter, perhaps she will improve with gentle encouragement.

This is my second breakfast at the Iron Horse. It’s not cheap, but I have to say the full English breakfast is superb. The chairs and tables could be more comfortable, but this is now my goto place for breakfast. A nice ambience too.

Quite poor all round. Tables need a good wipe and clean - there were dead ants under our table glass. Toilets unclean, with broken door locks. Drinks ok but thats all. Had to ask for napkins but got ignored until staff had finished their conversation first. Not a place I would recommend.

A very welcome surprise. It's a really nice chilled place with a friendly vibe. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the motorbike only parking makes easy work of leaving your pride and joy!

The burger was average. It looked better than it tasted. Coffee not great. Overall a bit disappointed but we did have very very high expectations.

Such a great place. We come here for lunch every now and again and it is always great. The food is fresh made and good quality. I always feel like they put heart and soul into this place and it shows. Thank you.

Rudest restaurant I’ve ever been in Walked out before are food was even served no idea what the women’s problem was

The woman there was so rude and gave us dirty looks when we were polite, when asking for a menu. She also made us wait ages for a table and could barely look at us, while showing me and my friend where to be seated, like we had done something wrong.

One of the best biker bars around! Dedicated parking for motorcycles, friendly staff, good food!

Great food lovely staff & great company

Great place for drinks and food. Friendly staff.

Love going here for food had great breakfast on 1 trip and salmon on another. Me and partner love it here

From mr and mrs pearson :) Wedding reception 24.06.23 this place is absolutely amazing the staff was amazing customer service was great all our family loved it. All had smiling faces all was very pleasant, we love you guys from Mr and Mrs Pearson.

Lovely place for a breakfast food nicely cooked and well presented big bonus dog friendly dogs also loved it there 😀

Absolutely brilliant we where there far a wedding reception and night do staff where brilliant thanks a million was a brilliant day

Great friendly staff good portion sizes and great looking restaurant

This is a great place for bike groups and individuals. It has plenty of vegan options and parking for bikes. The atmosphere is inviting with classic bikes on display. I went during a quiet midday and the staff were friendly and the food was good. I had a Phylli steak sandwich and it was cooked perfectly.

Staff were really friendly and helpful even though there was a group of 30 of us, they handled our orders quickly and our food came out in excellent time. Impressed by the range of vegan options.

Great meeting place for bikers with a very nice decoration theme.

Love this place, I've been a few times and have been welcomed by staff every time. The food is awesome, burgers ribs and hotdogs. They also do breakfasts and desserts similar to an American diner. It's a great spot for bikers as there's plenty of parking for motorbikes at the back, dogs and families are also welcome and they play live music sometimes too. I would highly recommend this place if you're after a late lunch or a breakfast or even somewhere to go in the evenings for great food and live bands

Not a good experience we waited an hour for very mediocre food and not cheap.

Great place to ride to for coffee break 👌 good parking for bikes real bikers cafe.

Great location, would like to get back for a bike night. Food was so good and proper coffee.

Food was absolutely delicious and the service was amazing. Would highly recommend trying their chilli which you can have in a burger or hotdog, it's so delicious. Staff extra friendly and very talkative

Who I was with all enjoyed the food and the group. The singer and musicians were good but not for me.

Great place to chill and watch the water....any chance of a mirror in the blokes toilets....helmet hair aint a good look!

Excellent authentic American food, wonderful staff and if you go on a night when they have live music its even better. If you like to perform they have open mic nights and folk club nights as well. also seems to be a lot going at other times like Dog friendly gatherings Bike nights during the week, have not attended the dog event but the Bike nights are great if you are into seeing some of the classic and newer bikes all the people who attend are really friendly and just want to talk bike.

Lovely food, fast friendly service. Amazing decor.

Great staff, value, service, and delicious food. Plus, it's dogfriendly. Best breakfast pancakes I've had in a very long time!!!

Absolutely rubbish service told to wait even for a drink 20th a we sat and still no service, there was only 3 tables who sat before us too. That’s the third time bad service, won’t be going again . Left un feed and un watered. Poor poor

Had a breakfast , brilliant food and service was great

Great atmosspher good service and good food

Good place to go for a meal or just a drink.

Organised a 16th Birthday meal, 16 people and 3 (under 3 years old). Meal was booked in advanced for 1pm, place was empty. Menus given and people made there choices, half past one the waitress then came over to advise that they had no pulled pork, 3 racks of ribs, 3 baskets of sea food, and no vegan option (one party member vegetarian). When the food did arrive, it was warm. The two 8oz steaks that were requested to be rare was well done and medium. Spoke to the waitress and she took them back to the 'chef', then returned to advise us that they were only able to change one of the steaks, as they only had one steak left! We then had to decide who was going to have there's changed and who had to put up with it! Two orders for 'Surf and turf', one steak rare and one medium. Both meals were lukewarm and the steaks were well done. Our mature guest was unable to eat hers, our other guest mentioned it to the waitress and she became defensive but apologised but was unable to do anything about it as there was no steak left. The rest of the guests food was average, "it was alright". The mushroom's however were very nice and would say the best I have tasted for a while. The milkshakes were great, drinks were good and the puddings were nice and enjoyable. Paying the bill - Went and spoke to the waitress (who also appeared to be front of house) discreetly about what they could negotiate on the bill, considering at least 4 of us had an issue with steaks and only one meal could be replaced. The waitress was again defensive and spoke very loudly, even told us that the chef knew how to cook a steak! Due to paying for the meals in advance they could not run through the till a discount, or refund a meal. The solution was to to offer some puddings or drinks, which were had, to the approximate total value of £15.00. Taking into consideration: Booked in advanced, there was only one other couple in the restaurant and each meal cost is just above a average restaurants price. We were all looking forward to having a really nice meal with the American diner experience. What we got: lukewarm, overcooked food. Limited menu chose, defensive mannerisms from the waitress ( I personally think this was through embarrassment) and extortionate prices for what was provided. This was certainly not an American Diner experience Personally, this is not a place I would recommend and defiantly will not be going back.

Love this place, food, and its vibe

Came for the folk roots night, great live music venue

When you order waffles and get pancakes, tell the waiter and he says "oh sorry about that, enjoy them anyway" and walks off. Top tip take a sachet of coffee along which you can use to top up their dreadful cappuccino's. Stepping through the cigarette butts by the toilets kind of sums it all up. Before you ask, yes, we are bikers. The on-line menu is out of date.

Great place for bike meets and big groups. Plenty of vegan options. Lots of parking round the back for bikes. Nice vibe in here with classic bikes.

Great food good service will definitely go again and recommend without hesitation. Staff friendly easy to chat too.

Great friendly place to meet people, have a beer and good grub. If you're a biker it's a must visit place. If you're not a biker you will still have a great time.

Fab place. Lovely staff. Great atmosphere.......we'll definitely be going again

Went on a quiet midday. Friendly staff and good food. Got the Phylli steak sandwich and no complaints. The meat was cooked perfectly. Chips were a bit on the cold side only reason it's not a 5* review

Very average food and very over priced, staff was very friendly....

The staff here, are amazing! What a great place. We will be returning very soon.

The place has great decor, a simple but tasty looking menu. What let it down was waiting 55 minutes for a few portions of chips and a burger. The waiter was useless, didn't apologise until we asked twice where the food was. We were there over an hour and only offered one drink. Really poor service. The prices in the menu wasn't the same as the price the guy at the till was using, really poor show. He apologized but still tried to charge us the higher price. I would give it one star but I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that the place is good in the summer when they're cooking more frequently so possibly more efficient.

I Parked my car around the back as there was no parking available anywhere near the place. When I entered the building I asked if this was ok and was told no and asked to move it as it’s for motorcycles and staff only? This confused and annoyed me as it was empty in the place and the car park, and given that I’m about to spend a healthy chunk of change in the place with the family it seemed a bit ridiculous. Anyway I then had to go and move the car and walk back with the kids. When we then entered and sat down there was a horrible smell of greasy oil which resembled a greasy spoon cafe… this and a few minutes of waiting at the table was the extent or our stay.. we left and went to the goat down the road which was a good choice..

Food ok maybe a little pricey for some dishes as were the price of drinks- nearly £6 a pint. Waitress really friendly. Will return but maybe just have a burger and coke in future.

Amazing place to eat or just sit and chill. Staff are lovely and food is great

Philly cheese steak was outstanding!

Don't eat meat myself,wasn't a problem I had a very nice toasted cheese and onion panini and two nice mugs of americano coffee.recommended after a chilly motorbike ride out .first time visit would deffo visit again.🏍️👍

Had a great burger here, tasted home made. Popular with bikers and friendly atmosphere.

Delicious, handmade burgers and philly cheese steak!!

Worse meal we as a family have ever had. Beef burgers dripping in fat and no taste. Chicken Burger , almost cold and tasteless Chips , thankfully half decent. No atmosphere. All totally over priced.

Wonderful place, great service, great staff, and great food.

Good place, happy people, nice food.

Good food, friendly and welcoming staff, dog friendly, great outside space, 👍

Disappointing. At 1.30pm the kitchen had closed, no food available, only hot & cold drinks on offer.

Good meal, well prepared and filling, the lemon curd pudding was tasty. My wife's came complete with candles as it was her birthday. Not planned but a friendly action by lovely staff. Thanks 👍🍰🥳

Fantastically excellent venue for Bikers or anyone who loves that kind of atmosphere 👍 check out their Facebook page 👍😍🥰🏍💞

Watched an AC/DC tribute band in the stage area outside.

Amazing venue which often has live entertainment, staff are great and the food is top notch - well worth a visit

Seemed like a nice place. Friendly staff too.

Good place and friendly atmosphere 👍👍

Nice meeting place inside and out

Two tables in the restaurant, my order was taken and my food never came. Had to cancel my starter as it was forgotten about and would have taken too long to cook. Burger was overpriced and below average, food came out barely warm and i could have cooked better food at home. Waiter was on his phone and eating instead of waiting on the table. Won’t be returning.

I visited the Iron Horse Ranch House to see an ACDC tribute band. They were located outside and I have to say that the atmosphere and sound quality were both excellent and I really enjoyed the venue as a whole. There was a bar outside meaning you didn't have to leave the area to get a drink and everything was seemless.

The deputy chef admitted the food is all microwaved. It is overpriced at spoons quality! Not good enough!! The staff never come over to ask if the food is okay or if you need another drink. They seem to just be standing around. Is a shame as I really used to like food and atmosphere here!

Great place for lunch. Authentic American road house diner. Resist buying a new bike. Was tempting. Very friendly staff and good food.

Food decent food service was great.

We had a superb English breakfast and a lovely coffee. And I am fussy about coffees.

Great food with vegan and veggie options too. Best halloumi I've ever had! Had dinner delivered then came for breaky next day!

What a disappointing Sunday experience this was, as much as I love rock music this was an onslaught of noise that was far from enjoyable, almost to the point of painful. Waitresses were using sign language and we could not hear across a table for two. We moved outside to the covered seating area for our meal which was acceptable but not exceptional, it was hot which was something of a positive the cutlery was very cheap and nasty, condiments were lacking, not a venue I will be rushing back to in the near future.

Apparently popular with the motorcycle community it offers easy parking and outdoor furniture and seating. Indoors the soap and towel-less mens loo was an indicator of management style. The food was not bad, just unremarkable. I’m guessing the days of trying to ‘wow’ their clientele are long gone.

Delightful atmosphere and delicious meal.

We went to visit this place and had high hopes, the front of house staff were really friendly, but that’s about all the positives…they had no ribs no steaks no seafood…they had nothing on their own menu really, booked in advance and they never told us they had a reduced menu etc, they only had a few burger and hot dogs which you could get at most places really, super disappointing, it’s not what it seems unfortunately
