"Iron Range Eatery does have a cute atmosphere and halfway decent food, but the service my table received was hands-down some of the worst I've had in years. Maybe I came at the wrong time, but the staff was entirely 18-20something year-olds who seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. Our drinks took a good 10+ minutes to get (they were pops and we were right by the bar), and our meal took well over an hour. Instead of trying to help the kitchen staff, I saw many of the 5+ servers sitting at the bar while waiting, or just standing and talking to each other. Our server in particular came to our table maybe 3 times, and every time she acted like us being there was a major inconvenience. When we pointed out midway through our meal that we were never given napkins/silverware, she quickly dumped the napkins on us without apology. The few times she did come to check on us, she wouldn't even pause long enough to give her the opportunity to as for anything. She never apologized for the ridiculous wait, either. I totally get that everyone is understaffed these days, but an apology--or at the VERY least an ACKNOWLEDGEMENT--goes a long way. The food was decent enough that I may give it one more shot, but definitely not any time soon."
