Just wanted to say that I am really enjoying having yet another great restaurant in town to dine at. I'm sure some folks will disagree with me, but I just don't believe a town can have too many good places to eat - and I count my blessings that Miles City has several.
Now you can add THE IRON HORSE to the list of GREAT places to eat. I have been there several times now and had something different each time - it's all been Five Star quality.
But here's the thing and the reason I created this post. The IRON HORSE's Shrimp Etouffee is absolutely the best Creole dish I've had anywhere - including New Orleans!
It was so good I asked the waitress if the Chef would come out so I could compliement him/her. Well, he did and, wearing a big smile, told me that it is his favorite dish to cook. He actually prepares each order individually, and you can tell he's being 100% honest about that because the shrimp are perfectly cooked, the veggies are perfectly sauteed, and the sauce is fresh, fresh, fresh. The flavors and smells and colors themselves all tell you that this Etoufee hasn't been bubbling away in a big pot for hours on end.
I raved about the Etouffee to one of my friends here in town - in fact, I thought I overdid it and feared he would come back and say something like "Well, it was OK, but it wasn't all that good." I'm pleased to report my fears were unfounded. Both my friend and his buddy ordered the Etouffee, and both were completely blown away by how good it is.
So, if you like Creole food (or if you have never had any and want to discover what all the fuss is about), I can now recommend without reservation the Shrimp Etouffee at IRON HORSE. See you there and ---
Bon appetit!
