The Iron Door

A historic Johnsville dinner house with a story behind the door.

LOCAL PHOTOGRAPH / THE LOST SIERRA

The Iron Door occupies a former general store and post office in the mountain community of Johnsville. Steaks, seafood, pasta, and German-inspired specialties give the meal a classic dinner-house character.

Host tip: Arrive early for a drink in the historic bar and ask the staff about the building’s history and local ghost story.

Before you go: Reservations are recommended. Confirm the current seasonal calendar and allow time for the mountain drive.
