Branding Iron

Dayton’s only family restaurant, the Branding Iron, can either be the best restaurant you’ve ever eaten at, or the worst. The inconsistency at this pleasant eating place, in a peaceful town has gotten out control. Depending on what you get, it can be great. For example, the hamburgers there are anything but dry, and most satisfying. However there are many instances where it is evident that the food you are eating came straight from its long-time home in the freezer, straight into the oven or deep-fat fryer.

Last night I walked into the restaurant just like I always do almost once a week. It is under construction, which is only a minor set back. The waitress we had though, honestly acted like she was stoned. However I don’t know what the requirements are for a waitress at the Branding Iron, maybe they should give the occasional drug test. It took at least ten minutes for her to do anything at all that was of any use. That was strike number one. The salad bar however was most delicious. When the food came though, I seriously thought I was going to puke. I ordered one of their ‘specials,’ baked chicken. First of all, it was all lukewarm, like it had been sitting out for a while. That was strike number two. Strike number three came when I took a bite out of the chicken. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever tried in my life. It made me so mad that they would even try to feed me this disgust that I left. I took my mom’s keys and drove away in pure fury.

If you feel like a rebel and want to take a 50-50 chance on having delicious food, or getting food poisoning, go ahead and go to the Branding Iron. Also if you want a waitress that gives you the urge to commit murder, once again, go to the Branding Iron.
Peaceful setting, I have to admit, but the service doesn’t match the gorgeous view. I would not recommend the restaurant for anyone who wants really good food for themselves and their family.
