Customer Reviews

"Great place with something for everyone. I tried the Reuben Pizza. Never had smoked corned beef before but was super tasty. Cool atmosphere!"

- Dallas M.

"We've been coming to the Lake for years, and love eating at various establishments. Tonight was our first trip to the Branding Iron, and it was hands down the best food I've eaten on or off the Lake! I had the horseshoe, a breaded tenderloin on top of Texas toast, topped with French fries and country gravy. Oh my Goodness it was AMAZING! The waitstaff was also on point, making this a wonderful dining experience."

- Dustin C.

"They are fairly priced and have an amazing selection of different foods. The smoked meat is amazing! Bbq sauce was good. Our waitress was very attentive. We went before the dinner rush. I love the options for the salad bar."

- Adrian T.

"we love the Branding Iron. Friendly staff and great food. It's always a struggle to decide what to order. Their Broasted Chicken is the best!!! But I also love their Smoked Baloney Sandwich, don't sleep on that one. Also surprised how good their pizza is. One of the most reasonably priced restaurants at the lake with a casual friendly environment. Great food and value."

- Pat D.

"The place is clean and nicely decorated. I sat in the large outdoor seating area, and I was there for a late lunch on a cool day, so there was plenty of open seating. There is a nice corn hole set up! The beef chili was thick and tasty, as were the sweet potato fries! The service was great and there's plenty of parking. Prices were very reasonable!"

- Ronna R.

"Friendly folks and good food at the Branding Iron. There's a spacious bar and a big outdoor area with lake views. The menu is large and diverse with some healthy options available as well as lots of fried and broiled items. This is a solid place for a family meal or a beer with friends."

- Rusty R.

"Nice place close to our friends house. Stopped in late on a Wednesday night so not crowded. Service was quick and friendly. Had the fried chicken and fries and baked beans. Chicken was a touch dry but the beans were very good highly recommend. Has a western theme with a corner set aside honoring the local firefighters. Very nice evening."
