The way we approach food

Each dish has been carefully planned to appeal to all the senses. By blending flavors and cooking techniques of the Southwest and the Caribbean we have crafted a truly unique way of experiencing barbecue.

New Beginnings

McGonigal's

To all our guests, neighbors, friends, and those who have become “family” throughout the years.

Beginning October 1st, 2021, McGonigal's will begin operations in the space previously occupied by Big Iron Horse Barbecue. The new ownership and management team will be that of the McGonigal family. Details regarding the new concept will be provided by the McGonigal family. All current Iron Horse team members will be invited to join the McGonigal team. Please congratulate and welcome them as we are with their new concept!

All of us (current and former team members) at Big Iron Horse would like to thank each and every one of you! Over the years you have not only supported our restaurant, your generosity and kindness has supported our families throughout the years. You’ve helped raise our children, put us through school, fed us, paid our rent and mortgages, supplemented our incomes through rough times, and given us countless memories of fun, laughter, and happiness. Your years of support has also helped others in need within the community. Because your patronage, a portion of your purchases has been donated to countless youth activities and sports teams, family support groups, senior services, non-profits, veterans, service members, and first responders. A platitude of gratitude goes out all!

From all of us (current and former) team members of Big Iron Horse Barbecue, “Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and the opportunity to be part of your community.”

Best Wishes & Cheers!
