Locally owned and operated neighborhood restaurant serving Iron Range classics with pride—right here in Saint Paul.  Born from Northern Minnesota heritage and supported by our Saint Paul (Highland Park, Mac-Groveland, Midway, Merriam Park, Cathedral and Summit Hill) neighbors.  Iron Ranger is where comfort food, community, and craft come together.

Our Story — From the Iron Range to Saint Paul

Iron Ranger is inspired by the grit and warmth of Minnesota’s Iron Range—where hard work, strong communities, and unforgettable food go hand in hand.

The Iron Range is known for iron ore mining, legendary hockey culture, and icons like Bob Dylan. We honor that heritage by serving the foods that brought people together after long days: simple, filling, and made with care.

This is food with history. And a restaurant built for neighbors.
