Branding Iron - Bridgeview

Always happening on a Friday/Saturday. Always have a DJ on those days or Karaoke or a live band. Customers are diverse and so is the music. A good time!

A horrible experience and waste of money. The bartender Jackie couldn’t be bothered to get the drinks right. The slob of a manager seems pre-occupied with gambling at the a lot machines they have and is totally incompetent. The server, jenny(? , is also miserable and really doesn’t seem to like or appreciate the customers or the revenue they bring. I’ve heard that the kitchen is very dirty and there is no process or attention paid to keeping the food fresh. Really disgusting food in my opinion. Overall a really poor poor experience. I think people at the nearby hotel are forced to eat there for lack of better options. Best to avoid this dump altogether.

Maybe we caught this place on a bad day but we came here for two reasons. Close to the soccer game we 're headed to and Two we seen great reviews on the food. We ordered two drinks a cocktail and beer. Cocktail was standard but beer was served in a dirty glass and out of 16 taps only 3 were available. We got here before a slightly thicker crowd and we were only greeted and ask ready to order within mins. And then asked if we needed a box. No check ins in between. As far as food goes we ordered wings and the chicken pesto sandwich. Wings were same as Cocktail. So just fine. Nothing special. Grilled chicken pesto was so greasy I had to wipe my hands after ever bite. Chicken wasn 't dry but was not seasoned and the pesto goes the same. Not very basil forward as pesto should be. So for anyone looking for over priced okay food this is it.

Recommended by the staff at the adjacent Hampton Inn, the Branding Iron was lacking in Lustre! The menu boasted a plethora of draft beers, however the taps were dry. We ordered two apps of Shrimp ? skewers to find the Shrimp had swum away, even though we were charged for them. ! Not too surprising, the Twisted Tea evaporated. Lastly, there was no ham for the sandwiches! So, the Branding Iron was not our favorite brand !!! PS . As we were leaving, the draft system suddenly started to work !Boo hoo !

The egg-rolls are a must have!! Great atmosphere. There is a jukebox, dart boards, arcade, and slot machines. Bathrooms are always clean. They have outdoor patio seating too. Constantly scheduled with cool guest DJs in their pavilion.The food is good quality priced fairly.
