For decades, craftspeople from around the world were drawn to Homewood by a common theme - the lure of fire and iron. The ability to wield a spark became their calling card and for these hard-working artisans, food played a key role in their legendary story. Ironwood Kitchen & Cocktails is a tribute to this legacy where iron and fire come together to create elevated comfort food for a new generation in Birmingham.

    We arrived and were seated immediately, given cocktail list, wine list, and the menu. Our server was very attentive, giving us ample time to survey the menu. We ordered cocktails and a starter. The pimiento cheese fritters with green tomato marmalade were very tasty and a great start to our meal. The grilled scallops arrived perfectly cooked on a bed of tasty vegetable risotto, accompanied by fresh bread and warm and seasoned olive oil. Our friendly, attentive server and the delicious cocktails and food made for a perfect evening out.

    Overall great experience. Waitress Jasmine was excellent. The hostess not so much. The only thing is the food which was all delicious could have been hotter.

    Ironwood is my favorite Sunday brunch. I especially enjoy the ‘southern breakfast. My friend usually orders a chicken dish, I don’t recall the exact name of the dish. But we do enjoy eating there

    Our server Nick was great! Very accommodating and polite. Though my entire party didn’t enjoy their meals, I did. I was the birthday girl and I personally had a 10/10 experience. I will be back for sure to try your other menus, but especially for the drinks.

    Josh was our server and did an excellent job for a newbie. He gave us time to look over the menu and was there to answer any questions we had. The food was excellent! The hostess sat us in a quiet corner outside for our anniversary and she was very nice! Thank you all for a perfect night for our celebration! See you all soon!
