Iron Grate BBQ

Grits!! Yummy. I absolutely loved the grits. We stopped in Sunday and asked for a recommendation when ordering. We ordered the 2 meat.. brisket and pork belly. Everything was amazing! The outside seating is also very nice.

Amazing food. Guy working the counter mentioned how good the grits are. He was NOT lying. Best I've ever had and I'm from the South. Well worth the money.Food: 5/5

BBQ heaven in MKE! We got the 4 meats and 4 sides, brisket, pulled pork, hot links and spicy country spare ribs, beans, grits, mac n cheese, coleslaw and a side of hushpuppies. I finally know what good brisket tastes like from a proper offset smoker. The pulled pork was moist, the hot links tasted great but the star for us were the spicy spare ribs. I've never had grits like this, they're like corn mashed potatoes, amazing. The dining room is open again and it's going to be a regular stop now. Leftovers even tasted great the next day at work. Oh and the pickles... THE PICKLES! I need to find out if they sell those by the jar when we return this weekend for more bbq. The hushpuppies are incredible and like crispy delicate balls from fryer heaven. Stop reading the reviews and just go find out for yourself.

Local Realtor - Great food, I always like jazz in the background while I'm eating American made BBQ food. Fam liked it, seating could do better but the atmosphere was fantastic

Very small portion for the price . The ribs tasted good BUT 3 ribs with two small sides one of which they forgot to put in and a tiny catfish po boy for over $30 isn’t acceptable it should be noted I did call and that was the correct portion. The food it the picture was exactly what I was given . No one in their right mind would think that’s a reasonable portion for the price . Maybe an appetizer but most definitely not a full meal .

After one bite I texted my friends who live in the area saying, “We must come here!” I got the starter, the brisket and curds and a a corn bread muffin. There is inside and outside seating. Both have a great atmosphere and seating options. There is a nice sized parking lot as well as easy access street parking. The staff and costumers are super friendly. It feels like a family vibe. Enjoy eating here alone or with friends.

Iron Grate is one of my favorite restaurants to go to for BBQ. I used to love their hot links, but they changed the recipe about a year ago. They do not taste the same. My go to order is usually the pork belly burnt ends, grits and greens. My husband likes the rib tips and the mac and cheese. We are not a fan of their baked beans though. They are a little bitter to me. The combo is really great way to taste a few items from the menu. The housemade drinks are very good. Four cocktails for $40 is a deal. The Pitmaster Punch is my favorite! Update: The drinks are no longer available, issues with plastic jugs.

Outstanding meats! Yes there is fat in the MKE ribs and burnt ends… it’s pork belly and it’s delicious!! I happily drive the 42 miles to get it!! Service and staff are great. Don’t forget the cocktails, the Bourbon Sour is my favorite. Everything at the Iron Grate is constantly great!!

Had a bbq pork sandwich with bbbeans and the little jug of sweet sun tea was cool.It was delisssh. Sat outside on a beautiful July day. Smell of the smokers and watching them load and unload their smokers. Iron Grate was just opening so the wait was not long. 20 min tops. The pork was not overly Smokey. Sum places you eat theirs and the smoke burns your mouthlike jerkydoes. The price was alittle high but the Iron Grate is the only true bbq joint on this side of town. Ya the other one is good but not the true taste. I say bring your cowboy hat and your little philly and drinkthey got booze toand eat to your hearts content. Ask them where their bumper stickers are?? Lol.

Bbq and curds!! Got the brisket as the meat. Fantastic!! Wish I would have known about this little gem sooner in life.
