Iron Tails Saloon

We’ve been in Iron Tales on quite a few occasions and every single time we’ve had a GREAT time. The employees are ALWAYS super friendly! The owner is also always around to chat and inquire how everyone is doing and making sure everyone is having not just a ‘good’ time, but a ‘great’ time! Menu has grown since opening so they aim to please there also (I’m not sure why anyone would say a place only serves food because it’s the law. That’s simply foolishness and no one runs a business like that! Competition? Sour grapes? Gotta be something because it would be stupid to not want people to enjoy a meal or snack.) And the service is usually pretty quick.
They have super bands that keep everyone entertained. This business seems well respected in the area probably because they have signs posted asking to respect their town please by not revving engines, peeling out, squealing tired, etc. Not just a «bikers bar»! Lots of people go there now basically because of the indoor and outdoor area atmospheres, good food, good cold beer and great drinks, and it’s just a cool, fun, happening place to hang! Hey, hope to see you there sometime because we’ll certainly be going back! (ALOT!) GO… You won’t be sorry!

My wife and I went for a Sunday drive to Acton ME. A friend had recommended the Lobster roll for $ 5.99 at the Iron Tails Saloon. We walked up to the bar which had only two people sitting at one end drinking beer. There were 3 employees behind the bar. We sat there for a few minutes waiting for service. Another couple walked up to the bar and were waited on by a woman and one of the male servers. Again, we sat there patiently waiting for service. A woman walked up beside us with an empty glass and the other male server got her a glass of water. Still no one acknowledged us. It was like we were invisible. Finally I asked the woman and male server if we could get a couple of beers and as she sipped her Red Bull she replied: «In a minute» That was all I needed. I said forget it, I don’t need a beer. and we left wondering what we did wrong. If that woman were my employee, she would be gone instantly. We usually spend on the average $ 50 to $ 75 for a lunch and a few beers. I can’t imagine a business that is so secure that they can be rude and just blatantly ignore customers. Now that I have read other reviews I can see the pattern. I would like to hear what the owner thinks about this kind of service. That’s the 1^st and last time that I will grace their door. They need a bar Rescue! We ended up at the Springvale Publik House and enjoyed a very nice lunch in a friendly atmosphere.

Just had lunch there food took forever for a burger and dogs. Service sucked actually the barmaid never came to wait on us had to go to her, with only 3 people at the bar. Greg you need to get someone with a personally. No it wasn’t Lori who always gave great service.

Its a fun place, huge so its never overcrowded and has great entertainment. I don’t go here to eat, I go here to have fun.

Can I give less than 1 star? We’ve been twice and both times we left hungry.
The first time, after waiting over 30 minute and seeing all of our friends food arrive, we found out they had only put our order in minutes before. Our party was ready to hit the road, so we had to forfeit our lunch. They had not been open long, so we chalked it up to the learning curve of a new establishment.
The last time we went (Cinco de mayo, 2013), they stopped taking orders half way through our party, because they were «so backed up in the kitchen». We decided we would share our meals had been ordered, but after 30 minutes of waiting, none of the orders were even started. They advertised Taco’s and other food for Cinco De Mayo, but could not deliver on the food (again). We were actually told they only serve food because the local law requires it (because they serve alcohol). The atmosphere is kind of cool, but the service sucks.
Don’t waste your time… drive 1.2 miles Northwest on 109 to Willies Ale Room. Great food and great service. Or head over to Bentley’s… they got it right.

Awesome place to ride to. a great destination to enjoy a good meal and listen to music. friendly atmosphere. i would go back again
