This is a gem of a place! A hidden gem we were so fortunate to stumble upon. The prime rib was superb and let me tell you about the Monterey chicken 😋😋😋. We had some very delicious Parmesan garlic chicken wings and shrimp too! The … More

Picked up an order to go and the waitress was fantastic! She remembered my fiance's preferences when I forgot to ask. She deserves a raise! Food was ready to go when I got there and was delicious as always. More

Branding Iron is a very nice place in Conrad where you can have some good food and a few drinks. People are very kind and the food is absolutely delicious (check the daily specials , you won't be disappointed!) There is a bowling alley, a billard and a bar, so everything you will need after a day of hiking on the mountains. Hello from Italy!

Just had supper at the Branding Iron. It was really good! We had burgers and fries but the menu included many traditional dinners nightly specials. We finished our meals off with a generous serving of quality ice cream with toppings. Reasonable pricing means we will definitely stop there again!

K so here's the deal.
Pros: Waitress was really cool and nice.
Drinks were strong and fast.
The cookies they make are life.
Cons: Eat before you go cause that wait is no joke! The food was cold and kinda gross.
In short I recommend drinking there and having a delicious ready made treat like a cookie or cinnamon roll.

GREAT food at this hometown bowling alley, bar, restaurant. Large portions and cooked fresh. Very nice employees but the service can be painfully slow if they are busy. Management needs to hire more servers!

On a wet day the parking lot turns into a mud bog. We had sticky mud all over us just walking back and forth to our car in the lot. Pave or chip seal for your customers sake.

Not impressed. Service was just fair, but the interior was newer and pretty modern. Not a tin of seating. My wife's hot wings were flat out terrible. They weren't cooked well and the sauce was yuck. My burger was just ok. Could have been great but the grilled onions were cut too thick and were undercooked

My wife and I stopped by at 3:30pm on a Tuesday on our way to Glacier National Park. We honestly did not have any expectations. We were extremely impressed for a small town operation. It is a small 6-lane alley that they actually had to turn on when we arrived. It was an awesome experience. The gentleman working the bar was very friendly and helpful and service was impressive. The food was great, the adult beverages were cold and correct. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this establishment.

After a small RV park almost two hours away took our reservation but didn’t hold our reservation we ended up at the Ponderosa RV park in town. Tired and hungry, we found this place to hopefully cook us up a burger. Well, it was after the grill had closed so she offered us drinks as any good bartender would do. I ordered a whiskey and Pepsi and my wife ordered a patrone margarita. I fully expected a $25 check on those two drinks. Nope. $9.00. While we were enjoying our surprisingly inexpensive premium drinks, a bar patron bought a round for everyone! Okay, at this point this was getting to make for a great night. Then my wife discovered they had pie. Hell yah, sign me up for that!
I left the place blissfully inebriated and happy as a clam for cheep. I love this little town!

The appetizers we had were good, but we had the most horrible pizza that i ever had it was literally swimming in a watery liquids, that made it so the dough was not cooked. My husband and son are ones that will eat anything when they are hungry they could not even eat a complete slice. Put it this way they would have to be literally starving to eat that. Manager came out and said she has told the staff to worn people about the combination pizza could have watery liquid. She offered to reheat it but there is no way that could fix that. Didn't offer even a discount so paid full price (almost $20) for a 1/4 of a slice piece of a large pizza. So off to the gas station hot case/subway or grocery store.

Stopped here for a burger and beer on my way through. The atmosphere is nice and the food was good. The beer selection was okay; no smaller brews. There was plenty of parking and access was easy with a truck. I would go back.

I wish I could give this place a 00 star rating. Highly unprofessional people operating the place. We were a big group of about 10 adults and 8 kids and we stopped by for ice cream and lunch then we decided to grab a couple of pints which was served at bar but as kids were in car for almost 5 hours from Yellowstone National Park, they were just playing with each other and the girl who was serving started showing the kids to the kitchen staff one after another. They started making faces and were highly unprofessional. The place was not busy at all and only 2 tables were occupied out of 20ish they had. We gave them the business with these many people eating and drinking at same place. We left immediately. And I would advise everyone to take your business somewhere else. I usually never gave a place this low rating but this place really deserves it.

Horrible service. While ordering my steak salad I wasn’t asked how I would like my steak cooked. She said it “come’s already sliced up”, meaning frozen, the steak was hard as a rock, I could not eat one bit of the steak or the salad. The salad itself was expired, as shown in the picture by being soggy. 0 for the rating and this place should be shut down. Bugs were crawling on the floors and it’s winter here… worse place Iv ever been.
