The Rise Of The Iron Horse GrillA Photo Story by Sarah Black; Featuring Chef Pierre Pryer
"The first dish I ever saw was an enchilada. I had never eaten one before...and at that point I knew that this was what I wanted to do. I would leave my dish station, go on the line and just ask guys, ‘What are you doing? What's this right here? What's this dish called? What are these called?' Before long I was able to make my own recipes, and I never washed dishes again!”
- Chef Pierre Pryer Sr., The Iron Horse Grill [since ’86]
Lost twice to fires, Iron Horse Grill is a flagship of revitalization for Jackson’s downtown community. Chef is going on his third tenure, having worked on and off there since 1986.
"We look forward to being a part of the continued growth of Downtown Jackson. Projects like the Capitol Art Lofts, Westin Hotel, and Mississippi History & Civil Rights Museum will continue to allow Chef Pierre and The Iron Horse Grill to share the great reasons Downtown Jackson is Back!"
- Andy Nesenson. General Manager, The Iron Horse Grill
Iron Horse Grill will launch an all NEW menu January 25, bringing back an ‘old favorite’ for the last 25 years- Burrito De Pollo, a fresh flour tortilla with lime sauce, stuffed with spicy chicken, tomatoes, green onion, hand rolled and topped with a light sour cream sauce and Monterrey Jack cheese.
"I was walking through the restaurant a couple of weeks ago during Sunday Brunch and they were playing the song ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ — A guest grabbed me by the arm and said 'Chef, I can start believing you’re gonna bring back the Burrito De Pollo.' And I said, 'M’aam I’m gonna do that.’
