Iron Door

Nice service. Nice breeze coming inside. Good good. A bit pricey. Great service.

Service was great! Food was great for this more remote location. We will be back. After some outstanding Chili and cornbread no room left for a huge selection of pies. Thank you Iron Door Staff!

The Iron Door Restaurant in the Ski Area at the top of Mt. Lemmon is an all time favorite. They serve a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, homemade soups and feature their famous chili and cornbread. Most of these items are homemade.
Every time I can get there, I do so and I have never been disappointed.
It is 30 degrees cooler than the valley where Tucson is, and the 30-mile drive up goes through all categories of vegetation in just 30 miles. It's also just plain fun.
Be sure to have the chili and cornbread, with a glass of wine or some beer. I also recommend the Coronado Quiche.
For dessert, don't miss the pies. Each is a 6-inch piece, served round, with ice cream and whipped cream. The Mountain Berry is a mash-up of raspberry, blueberry, blackberry; it is homemade and delightful.
Service is courteous and helpful; they are proud of their restaurant and it shows. Parking is off-street, and if it is full, you can park across the street in the ski village lot. Restrooms are always clean and stocked.
The Iron Door serves breakfast and lunch only. It is always worth the drive.

Long wait for subpar food. The server was personality plus, but the server next to our table was shocked when the table of ladies complimented the German potato salad and told them is was not made onsite.
