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.
