Branding Iron - Preston

Food was yummy! The prime rib sandwich was excellent. They had a large party when we were there and only 2 wait staff but they did their best and were very pleasant.

Neat supper club feel. Our waitress Skyla was friendly, fast and attentive. My husband got the smoked pork chop which was extremely good, so was his baked potato. My chicken strips were also quite tasty. The Caesar salads had too much crouton crushed on top. And the Bread Basket was hard pieces of garlic bread that were completely soaked in oil so we couldn't eat them. We also ordered an appetizer of onion rings on recommendation of our bed and breakfast host and they were good as well but also very greasy.This restaurant did have another negative. They charge you to use a card and the more your bill is the more you get charged! Which makes no sense as it is usually a basic nine cent flat fee to use a card (easy to look up Mn law for this online) . So we had to pay $1.50 to pay with a card for our bill that was over $50. Kind of ridiculous! If anything it should be the more you spend the less you get charged, not the other way around as it does not cost the restaurant any more no matter what the bill is.Parking: We went early so found a spot easily enough.

The broiled cod was very good ?. The red ale was one of the best I have ever had.

We had a large group (20 people). We were seated together. The waitresses were so good with our drink orders and keeping everything straight.The food was very good. I had the BBQ ribs, with Cesar salad and au gratin potatoes. The ribs were very tender and the sauce was thick and flavorful.Good food, good drinks, good company.

My son was getting married and we called Branding Iron prior to the event to ask if they could accommodate the rehearsal party for dinner even though we would be arriving 30 minutes prior to them closing. They agreed to serve us. When we arrived, our tables were set and the wait staff got right to work. Everyone was so friendly despite the chaos that a group of nearly 40 bring. Our drinks were always filled and our bread baskets were always full. The food was delicious! I highly recommend the chicken kabobs and the cod!
