About Us
Our Story
Iron Ranger is a locally owned neighborhood restaurant in Saint Paul, inspired by our family’s century-old bakery and deli on Minnesota’s Iron Range, along with years spent behind the bar in Sun Valley. Built on tradition and hospitality, we are passionate about serving quality food at a fair price while delivering friendly, attentive service. Whether you’re joining us for a quick bite or a relaxed evening out, our goal is to make every visit feel welcoming and memorable.
We proudly celebrate our Northern Minnesota roots. The Iron Range is known for its rich mining history, love of hockey, and cultural icons like Bob Dylan—but it’s also famous for its comforting, hearty cuisine. At Iron Ranger, we honor these traditions by serving regional favorites such as Porketta, Pasty, Sarma, and Potica, bringing authentic flavors to the Saint Paul community.
Food, Drinks, and Atmosphere
Our menu offers something for everyone, from stacked sandwiches and juicy burgers to fresh salads, chicken wings, and flatbreads. Pair your meal with a craft cocktail or enjoy what we like to call the coldest Hamm’s on the block. Above all, we focus on consistency, flavor, and value—so you can always count on a satisfying dining experience in a warm, neighborhood setting.
Introducing The Vermilion Cocktail Bar
Opening soon, The Vermilion Cocktail Bar is an exciting new addition connected to Iron Ranger, yet offering its own distinct identity. With a separate entrance, elevated atmosphere, and curated menu, The Vermilion will specialize in craft cocktails and a thoughtful selection of bourbon whiskey. Designed for those seeking a refined but approachable night out, it’s the perfect complement to the Iron Ranger experience.
