Iron Hoof History

Iron Hoof SteakHouse began in 1977 as a small, family-run venture — just a modest kitchen and a herd of cattle grazing on the hills behind the house. Nestled deep in the countryside, we started raising our own Angus and Hereford cattle, committed to quality from the very beginning.
The name Iron Hoof was inspired by those early days. Our founder often said, “Every hoof that walks this farm carries the weight of our future.” The "iron" reflects the grit, resilience, and hard work poured into both the land and the kitchen — a name forged from the soul of our operation.
What started as a simple countryside grill has grown into a modern steakhouse serving over 15,000 guests each year. We still raise our own cattle on over 200 acres of pasture, age our beef on-site for 21–28 days, and hand-cut each steak in-house.
Today Iron Hoof remains rooted in authenticity — bold flavors, farm-fresh meat, and a team that treats every plate like it’s part of something bigger: a legacy.
Mission and Values
At Iron Hoof SteakHouse, our mission is to serve unforgettable, farm-fresh beef with bold flavor and honest craftsmanship. From pasture to plate, we are committed to transparency, sustainability, and exceptional taste — creating an experience that brings people together around quality food and genuine hospitality.
We believe the best flavor starts at the source. That’s why we raise our own cattle and hand-select every cut from our family farm just steps away from our kitchen.
Every steak we serve is trimmed, seasoned, and cooked with care — no shortcuts, no compromises. We honor the art of butchery and the skill of our chefs in everything we do.
We’re transparent about where our food comes from and how it’s made. Locally raised, responsibly sourced, and always fresh — that’s our promise.
Every plate is personal. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, we aim to deliver warm, attentive service that makes you feel right at home.
Rooted in tradition, driven by progress. We honor our 1977 roots while embracing new flavors, techniques, and ideas that elevate the steakhouse experience.
