    The food was sub-par. I needed to salt and pepper my steak multiple times to keep the flavor. Make sure to order it one-two temps cooler than normal as it keeps cooking while on the skillet. The char on the steak didn’t have flavor. It almost tasted like leftover grill char. Super unpleasant. My mom had the short ribs which she said were okay. The service was absolutely beyond terrible. Our server walked past our empty drinks multiple times without even a glance. After we received our food, we were not checked on once. It was obvious he was in a rush to leave so he did not care about our experience. Won’t be returning or recommending.

    My husband and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch today. We got there around noon and was warmly greeted by staff and brought to our table. We ordered drinks and both had the turkey dinner. Every part of it was delicious and the portion was enough for another meal tomorrow. Our waiter Jared was attentive and friendly as was everyone helping with serving and clearing our table. Glad we made a reservation at Cast Iron Chef for Thanksgiving.

    Food was delicious. Dessert was great. I got the cinnamon cake, lobster rangoon and boneless braised short rib. The portion was great. I’d eat there again.
