Iron Gate Inn - Dover Air Force Base

This was an amazing dinner, the service was excellent, the drinks we 're stiff, and the food was amazing. I have driven by this place for two years before stopping in and trying it. If your looking for a high class exterior and fine china, this is not for you. But if your looking for the best prime rim you have ever had, this is for you. My wife had a Delmonico and said it was the best stake she has ever had, which hurt, because I thought I made the best stake but I had some and it was amazing. All I can finish with is you have to try it to believe it. Thanks Jimmy...

I have been going to this restaurant since I was a little girl for at least 20 years, the decor has not changed. If you are looking for a place with a fancy exterior and equally pleasant interior this isn't the place for you. If you are looking for extremely delicious food this is def. the place for you! Their prime rib is to die for, their soups and seafood are also very delicious. My family LOVES the iron gate, I hope to pass the tradition on to my children :

Its been so long since they closed but for people wondering, the person who created the Iron Gate Inn has passed. Thank you for all the journeys.

My husband and I go here at least once a month for years, and we have NEVER been disappointed. Everyone treats you like they have known you forever. Yes, it does not look like much on the outside, and it has no atmosphere, but I don't care about that, I am paying for good food and service, and that is what we always get. The prime rib is to die for, and the seafood is always fresh and outstanding. If anyone has any complaints, then there is something wrong with them!!!!!!!!

This is my grandfather 's restaurant. I grow up in there since before I could walk. When I still walk in there stopping by to visit I always find the same people seating at the same table, at the same time, eating the same thing, as they have for years and years. I love the food there and the seafood we get in every afternoon. The people who who the fresh seafood and other fresh local produce is the same people since years ago. We also get produce from Papens Farms which the other side of my family owns and runs. I eat at the restaurant whenever I am in town, great to see my family, friends of family, and all the customers who tell me every time I remember when you were this little . Ive went to the restaurant for very high school homecoming and prom. FOOD IS ALWAYS AMAZING AND FRESH. Yes sometimes the service isn 't so great, but they are great people and have been working at the restaurant since before I was born over 20 years ago. Yes the decor definitely needs some updating but that 's not what my grandfather is worried about, keeping his customers who have been coming for years satisfied and the great food coming out.
