Need information please.

Have you been to Iron Horse yet? Way back when (like 1990) it was our go to place for TexMex. Sad when it burned. I got excited when I read that it was coming back. However, we don't seem to be able to make it to J-Town.

Is it any good? Did you - by chance - go last Saturday night and hear Muddy Waters' son play blues?

we used to go all the time when i was at millsaps. i loved that place before it burned.

i did not go this past sat night but i saw who was playing.

we have been once since it reopened--the wednesday night before thanksgiving.

the atmosphere is great, albeit different from before. it still has that airy, brick, warehouse feel but has been spiced up with a stage, uplighting etc. it's not too distracting and is pretty refreshing to be honest. they have a very good beer selection.

their food, i hate to say, was extremely poor. granted they had only been open a couple weeks i believe before we tried it but they were still working with a limited menu and really didn't have an excuse. their tortillas were leathery and seemed to have been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. i was persuaded into getting a burger (forget the name but it was highly recommended by him) and it was lukewarm.

the manager came by near the end to check on us and i politely told him our issues. after he walked away the table behind us began telling us how bad their meal was also

i'll give it another shot but it's going to be a while. i really hope they get it together.
