Pig Iron is a surprise in the rough! Tucked in on High St. between Clintonville and Worthington this place is definitely worth a try. Though the name sounds a bit rough, like a biker bar, its really a comfortable place with exceptional burgers and ribs. They have a nice southern BBQ menu, with many deep south favorites: fatback green beans, BBQ baked beans, cornbread, and maque croix (which is a spicy corn side common in cajun regions). The servers have always been wonderful to us, and with a full service bar, option of indoor or outdoor seating, some TVs in the bar area for sports fans, and excellent food this place can be alot of things which appeal to alot of people. Their menu is fairly well balanced with a good amount of appetizers (I like the fried mushrooms or the wings), they also offer larger salads for those interested in lighter fare (I like the Iceburg Wedgie topped with crumbles of real bacon, diced tomatoes and blue cheese), and while their entrees do lean toward southern BBQ cuisine their is enough diversity for all with delicious country fried steak, pulled pork, steaks, ribs, and burgers. If you like good burgers and a well rounded full menu and bar, you should head on over to Pig Iron.
