Cast Iron Craft House - Warrenton, Virginia

Loved the atmosphere, loved the beer selection, was not impressed with the service and the food was good, not great.

Fries were perfect, I would come back just for that!

The burger (Bleu Steel Burger) was just ok. Very one note with a patty that needs to be a bit thicker. I ordered medium and got well with no chance to get the flavor good meat deserves due to thickness and heat. The onions were so thin and mushy I could not really taste them over the cheese. The BBQ sauce was sweet with almost no acid so it was very one note.

The poppers were under with the same problem. Nothing really popped.

The service had a bit of a confrontational element and a bit sour.

The staff are very nice and the food is excellent. We had the jalapeño popper starter and they take a little getting used to because they’re not the cheap squishy kind you get elsewhere. They are freshly sliced and filled with cheese, breadcrumb and then I guess broiled briefly. The only thing I’d change about them is maybe char the pepper before filling and broiling to bring out the flavor of the pepper more, but they are excellent either way.

My wife had “the cooper” grilled cheese and loved it. Be mindful of the chicken as how it’s placed in the basket, it’ll likely run to one side of the bread with the amount of cheese and buttery goodness they have sliding out of the sandwich.

I had the “Bleu Steel Burger” medium and it was delicious. The bacon was perfectly cooked, as was the burger. There is just enough blue cheese and the roll was perfect. I wish there was a little more bbq but I could have asked for more and didn’t, as I don’t need the calories :).

The fries are very much like chick fila, so there isn’t much to say. We didn’t get flavored fries but will next time.

The drink selection is excellent. If you enjoy obscure cocktails with a spicy kick, or beer you can’t really find without visiting a specialty beer store or a small brewery, this is the place to go. It has a nice local mom and pop bar feel without the sticky floors and cigarette smell.

Do yourself a favor and visit this gem.

First time at cast iron, we loved the hot shrimp and crab dip, and the "bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica" cocktail was delicious. Grilled cheese was good but wish the cheese had been melted more. The bathroom needed some attention, pee pee all over the toilet seat. Overall I would go back again.

The atmosphere was amazing. The service was absolutely fantastic. The food was very fresh and cooked to perfection. I just happened to be there today while they were tasting a new liquor and the owner offered me a free sample. You can't find service like that anymore. If you find yourself in Warrenton and looking for light fare and a great beverage selection I highly recommend Cast Iron Craft House. You will not be disappointed.

Cast Iron Craft House hosted my daughter's wedding brunch this weekend and wow, I was so impressed! The space upstairs is perfect for private events and they even offered their deck area to us as well. The food was varied and very tasty. We had a full spread to satisfy everyone's taste and dietary restrictions. And the service was outstanding as well. Thank you for putting an exclamation point on our wonderful wedding weekend. It was a great way to end the festivities with great friends and family, great food, great ambiance and great service. Thank you Wesley and your team!

The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. My rum cocktail was sweet, refreshing, and balanced. The cheese fritters were a bit greasy but still enjoyable, especially with the dipping sauces. My favorite had to be the mac and cheese with pork belly. The cheesiness really came through. The pork belly was perfectly prepared, crispy on the outside, tender and fatty on the inside, and added a wonderful, rich component to the already delicious dish. The service was fast, attentive, and friendly.

The waiter and the lady working behind the bar were super nice and very accommodating. My wife has many allergies and they went above and beyond to fix her food so there would be no reactions. Everything we has was good. The fries had a little too much seasoning for my taste but were still good. The jalapeño poppers were unreal. The place is really cool looking inside and very clean.

Came for a holiday party. The upstairs was cold as if no one turned on the heat and we had to eat in our jackets. The food came out cold and had to be reheated. The pot roast tasted okay but that was it. Even though there was a water station, there were no cups and thus we had to ask at the bar for a glass. There was one server working very hard to accommodate everyone (hence the high service score). However, food was brought out one or two plates at a time. We even had to clear our own plates and dishes from the table. Very disappointing overall.
