"RUN don't walk to Iron Town Pasties! Everything we had was TOP NOTCH and definitely homemade. They do have gluten friendly options with the same fillings. Two thumbs WAY up for this establishment!"

"Loved watching them in the kitchen, great front house staff. We bought frozen pasties to heat at camp for our dinner. GF and regular, and they were both amazing. Full of flavor and so big we could have shared one!"
Edwina Thomas
"The pasties were very good, hot, and ready. The service was good. There is very limited seating, I think most of the locals do take out. The ice cream there was not very good, I had the strawberry chocolate, it was grainy and there was no strawberry flavor to it, and it was quite pricey. It was a convenient stop for lunch while traveling through."
