Joy and happiness is all i see around ever since i came in contact with this great man. i complained bitterly to him about me having herpes only for him to tell me it’s a minor stuff. He told me he has cured thousands of people but i did not believe until he sent me the herbal medicine and i took it as instructed by this great man, only to go to the hospital after two weeks for another test and i was confirmed negative. For the first time in four years i was getting that result. i want to use this medium to thank this great man. His name is Dr Osime, i came in contact with his email through a friend in UK and ever since then my live has been full with laughter and great peace of mind. i urge you all with herpes or HSV to contact him if you willing to give him a chance. you can contact him through this email dr.osimeherbalhome9@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2348077165497 He also cured my friend with HIV and ever since then i strongly believe he can do all things. Don't be deceived thinking he does not work, i believe if you can get in contact with this man all your troubles will be over. i have done my part in spreading the good news. More...

Between God and man, and of the truth, I have referred more than 8 persons within a space of 3 weeks to my legit and trusted Account Manager, Mrs Hendrick Jennifer , she is the only account manager to ever pay me my profit after my first 7days trade of $500 that yielded to $5,500. I vowed to testify of her honesty to the public and that is what i have been doing because she deserve more than this. I was bankrupted and left with nothing by fake experts and she came to my rescue. It's already 16 weeks I have been trading with her platform and profit payout is always fast at once click.

It's always so satisfying to discover a new dining option that offers a great experience and exceeds expectations. That is exactly what happened when I finally stopped in at Iron Works BBQ with my buddy Murph. Deb greeted us and immediately took us through the menu. I asked for a recommendation for a few of their signature items and she suggested the smoked wings and brisket. I chose 6 wings with their award winning sauce and the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad. Wings were huge, tender and meaty with a nice smokiness that was complimented nicely with a jerk-style bbq sauce. I could have stopped there but I had to sample the brisket next. Again, a huge portion of perfectly smoked, moist and lean brisket that was one of the most satisfying brisket sandwiches I've had. Potato salad was excellent with a nice amount of whole grain mustard to give it a nice zing. This was definitely some of the best bbq I've had in the area and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Just a great experience talking bbq with Deb and enjoying the end product of their passion for bbq. Can't wait to get back for more! More...

Ordered their Thanksgiving Dinner.... Totally disappointed. Started with pick up--- was packaged so that the weight of stacked containers on top "crushed" those below and resulted in spillage of a number of containers. Then the instructions which include instruction for mac and cheese which there was none on the menu and no instructions for the corn bread that seemed have "raw".Then the meal itself- The turkey was passable though little taste,the yams were so runny that they seemed more like a purée, the green beans were more like flimsy pieces of greens rather than beans, the corn bread after baking for 45 minutes at 300... still seemed a bit raw, and the mashed potatoes were just OK...... All three of the adults had the same opinion.. would never order again. More...

I have been to the Iron Works several times, obviously it was good. However, this time we went we ordered 2 brisket sandwiches and with the first bite I had to spit it out. ..full of fat. So disappointed spent about $30.00 on two sandwiches and threw them away. Won't be going to Iron works anymore. More...

Ordered the corned beef and cabbage for St Patty's day, amazing!! the beef was perfectly seasoned and so soft. Best corned beef I have ever had. The veggies were as flavorful as the beef. Ordered ribs for the kids and they fall of the bone every time. Food never disappoints! Maybe a corned beef egg roll or in the Mac and cheese as a special sometimes??!! More...

Phenomenal Thanksgiving meal. The smoked turkey was absolutely amazing. I’m usually not really a fan of turkey, but this was spot on. Tender, Smokey, and so flavorful. Additionally, the cornbread was by far one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Moist, and just the right touch of sweetness. This is definitely a gem that I’m so glad I found. Thank you to the wonderful staff for taking time away from your families to prepare for others. More...

Howard and his crew catered our wedding and the service was more than we could have imagined. They went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. All of our guests raved about how good the food was and said it was some of the best food they had at a wedding in a while. Howard was great to work with in the planning of the event and was willing to do anything we asked. Can’t thank them enough for all that they did to help us make our day special.

This place got a great review recently in our local newspaper, so I decided to make a special trip to Troy to pick up two pulled pork sandwiches. Didn't realize a side was included, so got two sides of cornbread with it. They were very accommodating when I asked if they could give me the bbq sauce and coleslaw on the side, because I had a ways to travel and didn't want the sandwiches to get soggy on my way home. These sandwiches were amazing. The pork was tender and lean with just the right amount of smoke flavor. The bun was of good quality and was toasted perfectly. The sauce was the best bbq sauce I have ever had. Not too sweet and not too thick. Just the way I like it. The cornbread was good as were the oatmeal raisin cookies I got for dessert. I have been looking or a good bbq place ever since Moe's, which was just down the street from here, went out of business many years ago. I have finally found what I have been looking for. Will definitely make the trip to the Iron Works Grill again. More...

What an amazing find! Their pulled pork sandwiches are the best I have ever had. The barbecue sauce is flavorful and subtle, completing the sandwhich and not drenching and overpowering it. I have lived in the North and South, and this place has it down pat. Their cole slaw is very tasty and again flavorful without drenching the slaw in mayonaise or vinegar. By far, the best coleslaw I have ever had. Today I had their ribs, which were perfectly done. The barbecue sauce had a little bit of heat along with smoke and sweetness but it completed the ribs rather than drowning it in sauce. Best barbecue sauce and ribs I have ever had. The french fries were thinly sliced, crispy on the outside and hot on the inside. Not soggy or overcooked. Just perfect, even after a 10 minute takeout drive home. I also had their collard greens. Cooked with generous pieces of lean pork and simmered in a broth that was just perfect. This place is a rare find. Once they are truly discovered I suspect there will be long lines. Right now, it sits in an inconspicuous lot in an old industrial area of Troy, with a funky mural on a wall outside. More...

Far and away the best BBQ in the capital region! Meats are smoked and sauced to perfection -- rib meat falling off the bone, tri-tip with a beautiful smoke ring, savory pulled pork, and delectably moist chicken. The meatballs, wrapped in bacon and smothered in sauce, are a unique treat. Iron Works is easy to reach, not far from major roads. There's plenty of parking and plenty of outdoor seating. Nothing fancy here. Just terrific BBQ, served up fast by friendly people in a casual setting. More...

I just want to give a shout out to Iron Works Grill for saving the day and going above and beyond with the tastiest of bbq wonderfulness that was consumed yesterday. Rave reviews, seriously. Backstory we had our son, a US Marine, was coming home on leave. We have been waiting nearly a year to see him and we were going to have a large get together and decided this we didn't want to spend all of our time cooking. We wanted to enjoy our limited time with our son and family who came to see him. We were having a hard time getting someone who could accommodate our last minute decision and then we got a message from Howard and Ironworks grill. Howard and his crew are AMAZING! They were even able to deliver to us, on time and the food was piping hot! The tri tip, pulled pork, mac n cheese, potato salad, slaw, smoked wings, corn bread and BBQ sauce were unbelievably good! We have a bunch of foodies in our family so to see everyone drooling and scarfing down the goods was pretty awesome! Everyone was full, happy and couldn't say enough about how delicious the food was. We will absolutely be ording from you again!! 🤙👏👏👏👏👏 thank you for everything ❤ More...

Decent barbecue, substandard sides, no indoor seating. There is plenty of parking at this south Troy BBQ joint. A half dozen picnic table's line the edge of the parking lot. Inside, you order at the counter. There are three small tables inside, but these are not for diners. They are for people to sit at while they're waiting to pick up their order. So if you're looking for an indoor seating barbecue place, this is not it.There are picnic tables outside, which are fine when it's not too cold, not too hot, not too sunny, not too rainy, or not too windy. There are no umbrellas or awnings over the picnic tables. The Iron Works Grill has decent barbecue. The baked beans and the coleslaw come in styrofoam containers and are below average. I can't comment on any of the other sides.Prices are reasonable.My recommendation is if you're in the area, order ahead and get some barbecue to go. Forget about the sides. If the weather is nice, enjoy your barbecue at an outdoor picnic table. More...

Really nasty awful chicken. Was not smoked or barbecued it was just a wet very pale looking chicken. No flavor. I refused their bbq sauce because we had it before on some pulled pork and did not care for it but spooning some bbq sauce on top of this meat is not the solution. Last time I tried ordering chicken there they had no white meat. I didn't realize that I had dodged a bullet! Last time for us at the old Iron Works. More...

I'm a bit of a barbecue snob myself, I actually have two smokers and look for any excuse to use them. The definition of good barbecue to me is having an amazing brisket as it is one of the harder things to smoke correctly. The fact that this account has a try tip sandwich and other innovative and creative menu ideas made me very intrigued.I was actually a little bit worried that with the menu as large as it is and dabbling in so many different things besides barbecue, that the barbecue part of the menu might be sacrificed but that was not the case.Their house barbecue sauce is excellent, the meat was fresh the service was great and everything had a great smoke ring and you can tell it was not yesterday's food like a lot of the other barbecue places in the area.It is actually in an amazing location right down the hill from Hudson Valley community college and a lot of residential and commercial spots. If you're in the area I would definitely stop in and check it out! More...

I'm always on the lookout for new barbecue restaurants so when I saw Iron Works Grill, I knew I had to see what it was about. I ordered the brisket with mac and cheese. To begin, the brisket was good, but not great. It had good flavor and the fatty ends were delicious, but the brisket was a bit overcooked. The brisket came with a side of homemade bbq sauce which definitely made the brisket better. The sauce was sweet with a nice spice to it. Moreover, the mac and cheese was enjoyable. The noodles were done right and it was cheesy. Also, the mac had a nice breadcrumb topping to it. In conclusion, Iron Works Grill is a fine new barbecue restaurant and I definitely will try it again.
