| - Oh man, how did I get dragged to this divey meat-lovers paradise? Oh right, I work for the next year on the side of I-15 and was hungry and in the company of construction guys. For them, this little truck stop diner was just the gem they were looking for.
Upon entry there was no hostess, so we ended up seating ourselves in a little side room. Fortunately, we didn't wait long and were greeted by an energetic waitress with a fabulous attitude. If nothing else, I must say I was extremely impressed by the service in this joint. Our waitress had a great disposition and was funny as hell. I found this quite refreshing as the service in Vegas has really gone downhill with bitchiness as of late.
As a gluten free vegan, there really wasn't anything I could eat here. I was really hungry though, so I braved the home fries and a bowl of plain oatmeal. I can definitely say they tried pretty hard to accommodate considering my dietary restrictions; a cook even came out from the back to confirm that olive oil on the potatoes would be ok. That was a nice, and unexpected, surprise considering most restaurants don't care as they should.
Overall, the ambiance is quite kitschy, the food is average, but the service is superb. If you're hungry and on the north side of Las Vegas, Iron Skillet might just be worth your time. 5 stars for service, 3 stars for food, 1 star for ambiance--overall rating a solid 3/5 stars.
