Smokehouse that is
Ironton Ohio has a special restaurant hidden just behind Frischs Big Boy and next to Route 52 exit for Ironton
Total Americana theme Military from the entrance to the decorations in the lobby and dining room
The menu has something for everyone
Steak, seafood, chicken, pork, brisket, BBQ, pasta dishes, sandwiches and of course the all American Cheeseburger
The starters are great too… cheese bites, nachos, deep fried banana peppers, chicken strips, chips and salsa and more
The sides are many from fresh cut fries, which can be loaded with cheese, bacon or gravy(think poutine) to baked potatoes, mac n cheese, green beans and more
It was very welcoming we entered it felt like we were at a tourist location, like a museum lots of cases with military memorabilia
With a bar area to the right with high top tables and booths and low tables to the left
We were immediately greeted and asked about beverages
I decided I wanted to try a cheeseburger
We started with the cheese bites as a starter
I loved how they were garnished with parmesan they were hot but not unbearably hot when they arrived at the table and the cheese was super stringy which is what you want!
Cheeseburger with your choice of toppings. I had jack cheese, pickles, onions, lettuce, mustard and mayo. A huge burger grilled to perfection on top of a toasted brioche bun
Our friend also got a brisket sandwich that had caramelized onions and cheese with roasted red peppers served on a fried hoagie roll!!!
The armory smokehouse has a variety of desserts including a amish donut served with icecream and hot fudge sauce(wow!!! I must try this next visit!!!!)
