Took my wife and best friends here for their first time. Ordered the prime rib again and they did not disappoint. Friends both ordered sirloin. They use market pricing for their steaks but it is well worth it. Where else have you been where you can cut your steak with a fork? Well worth the money spent. The doors open at 5. Be there a half hour early to get seated. Yes, it’s that good!

Great experience from start to finish! The 14oz ribeye was fantastic, and cooked perfectly to order. The grilled salmon dinner was absolutely phenomenal paired with a side of buttered broccoli. Salad bar was great, staff was kind and friendly, service and cleanliness all spectacular! Thank you for making our special occasion dinner top notch!

We found this place on Google and decided to make a short drive to check it out. I am glad that we did! Cool atmosphere and some good food! The Prime Rib was good (better than a lot of places) and the salad bar was pretty nice! The service was great and I will definitely make a trip back to eat here again!
Note – when we went, they were not accepting credit cards, so be prepared for that. I am not sure if this is the norm at this place or not.

I was told “it’s the best steak in Iowa” I didn’t believe it – until I eat it. I am a believer now. Take the challenge!
Back for the second time the Ribeye was perfectly amazing.. I still believe it’s the best around..
The 160z prime rib is 4″ thick..

Steak was ok. Just seems like there was not much flavor to it. The prime rib on the other hand was much better. I will be back to get the prime rib!

The most succulent, flavorful prime rib I have ever had in my life. Friendly service and cozy ambiance.

A very nice and clean Steak House in a small town. The food was served hot & server was very polite and nice. Best Root Beer I have had in the state of Iowa.

If you’ve never been to the Branding Iron….plain and simple youre missing out…prime rib is to die for…steak and lobster is the same…I’ve never had a single thing there I didn’t like.. its 100% worth it..People come from miles away..just try it once…you’ll be back

TL;DR: Steak is great, but the wait makes it a bit much.
Went on a Saturday evening, arriving about peak dinner time. Steak was excellent, place was packed.
Waited to be seated for about 40 minutes. Then when we were seated, waited at the table another 1.5 hours before our food came out. Normally, if a restaurant takes 2+ hours to get your food, I would usually give up. To their credit, the steaks were great and cooked as requested.
Hash browns were a side option, and it was a small plate of shredded hash browns with kraft cheese on top. Expected a little more for the price.
Salad bar was included: just basics with wet lettuce and not a lot of fixings. Salad bar was only one sided, so the line would get long. I also was questioning the sanitation with no sneeze guard.
Go for the steak, but be adamant about beating the rush.
