Pig Iron - Templeton

Came to the Pig Iron for the first time and had brunch. The service, while friendly, was lacking but the food was fantastic! I had the waffurrito and my wife had the green eggs and ham quiche with a delicious side salad. Definitely recommend this restaurant in downtown Templeton.

Went for a small Christmas party with 10 other people. Yvette was our server and she was amazing. Everything went so smoothly and she had a delightful personality. The food was great and I'm looking forward to trying a cocktail the next time I go.

I am in town for business so I looked up a good local restaurant. I was so excited to try this place as the reviews said it was so good. Arrived at the restaurant to find the cutest and coziest little place. So far so good. Having high expectations for this place. We were seated immediately. The server was prompt and friendly. He knew the menu well and was able to answer any questions we had. My husband ordered the ribs as everyone reviewed them as moist and delicious. I ordered the house salad with chicken as all the pics made it look so good. The wait for the food was not very long at all, maybe 10 minutes. This should have been a red flag. After the food arrived I could tell my husband did not like the ribs as he was barely touching them. Come to find out after we left they were cold, rubbery and not even cooked all the way. As for my salad , the actual salad part was fine but the chicken in it was cold and tough and stink badly and reminded me of cheap bagged chicken. The entire meal tasted like it was cheap bagged food that was served to us cold. A TERRIBLE experience with the absolute WORST food I have ever had in my entire life. $45 for food that was NOT eaten. Service was good though. I would NOT return to this place. Yelp reviewers you sure got this one WRONG!! Save yourself the time and money and AVOID this place like the plaque!!!!!Parking: The only parking is on the street

Bruh, the cocktails are dope, the food is great, and the building is a repository of local history. Servers are friendly and professional. Can't ask for much more. Try their loaded fries. I thought I had tried every shape of french fry on earth. I was wrong.

Cocktails were interesting and well prepared and the service was genuinely friendly without being overbearing so good points there.The delicata squash donut appetizer was an interesting concept that was decent but has room from improvement. The squash could be cut more thinly to ensure it is nice and tender while not being too heavy and the aoili/ sauce on top needs to be more plentiful or some other bright/acidic element added.We had the smoked pork tacos which were pretty solid but could go one step further with some pickled onion.I had the ribs with the house sauce which honestly were disappointing. If they had been smoked, it was undetectable and they were nowhere near fall off the bone. They struck me as individually grilled ribs with a sweet glaze. If not for the glaze I’m not certain they would have much flavor. For the sides the corn bread was mid and would have been nicer warmed, the coleslaw was fine and the beans while well flavored were undercooked.Overall 3 stars good 4.5 stars beverage.I’d go back for cocktails and snacks but not desperate to have dinner again.
