If you are searching for a great dining experience with the best of all worlds, you need to head to Irons Steakhouse inside The Mint Gaming Hall at Kentucky Downs in Franklin.
The unique entrance is like walking through a huge, beautiful bourbon barrel honoring Kentucky’s most famous product. Once inside, you will experience a comfortable setting with artistic references to the Kentucky Horse Racing Industry all around.
Even better than the beautiful and thoughtful décor, though, is the friendly, attentive service and amazing food. From the greeting, past the comfortable bar, to the well-placed seating areas… you will feel right at home.
And the food even exceeds the décor and service. You will be pleased with the diverse menu while pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices. The appetizers offer a wonderful selection of starters from Asparagus Fries… don’t make that face… these are not your mom’s asparagus spears… to the savory Irish Onion Soup.
Entrées feature everything from the Irons Burger with steak fries, to Pecan Crusted Salmon and half rack of New Zealand Lamb. If you are a more traditional eater, of course a place with “Steakhouse” in its name must have an excellent choice of beef including filets, New York Strips, ribeyes and Prime Dry Aged Kansas Strip. Want to add a special touch to your beef choice? Try one of their Steak Toppers including Four Pepper Butter, Buttons and Pearls or Blue Cheese Crust to name just a few.
Of course, you will need sides as delicious and interesting as your entrée, and Irons does not disappoint with selections such as Corn Casserole, Roasted Garlic Smashed Potatoes, Truffle Mac N’ Cheese and many more. Perfect additions for any entrée.
Also, don’t miss the chance to experience a creative drink from the bar inside Irons Steakhouse. Their mixologists and chef are always coming up with new and tasty ways to tantalize your taste buds. Just ask!
And last but certainly far from least, the desserts are… in a few words… “to die for!” Don’t think about the calories… just lust for the amazing tastes and go for it. You won’t be disappointed.
Irons Steakhouse is open Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 5pm to 9pm, Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 10pm and is closed Monday and Tuesday. Reservations are encouraged and can be made at themintkentuckydowns.com website.
And what better way to conclude an amazing dinner than with a little entertainment. The Mint Gaming Hall offers a great selection of gaming machines from which to choose, in addition to regularly scheduled concerts. Food, entertainment and fun… all to create a wonderful evening experience.
