Happy to see this Historic Merced Icon has revamped its menu to include a few vegetarian options. Had a delicious meal with family. While I was enjoying my Marchino House Salad, my companions were raving about the excellent quality of the perfect prime rib.
Great place! A little pricey but definitely worth it. I had the French Dip with Baked potato and I was really impressed with all the flavor. The soup was just as amazing. It was so hearty an just as much flavor. Also had the mushrooms an all I can say is wow! The service was just as great. Definitely recommend trying this place. I will revisit if I’m in the area again!
Used to live here 30 years ago. Had my in-laws 50 year anniversary here. I'd meet my wife here for lunch of gazpacho and salad. Always a great meal. So glad we were able to make it here for a great steak dinner.
The food was soooo very good!
Pretty HOT in the area we were seated but, George kept our birthday party of 14 in laughs good spirits. ????
Better hang on to that server!
Hostess was fantastic too. ????
Thank you for making my sister's birthday a beautiful experience ????
I enjoyed the atmosphere, it was relaxing. Our waitress was so friendly and sweet, I felt loved, haha. I really enjoyed the food, very flavorful and great portions. I tried the crab cakes, broccoli and cheddar soup, and fettuccine alfredo. So yummy! Their garlic bread was fine. I would return for another dine-in!
Wow. First time at. The Branding Iron Restaurant under the new management and what a difference. Service was excellent, would even say he gave is a show. Food was just good and there was a lot of it. Price was in the $100 range for three people. Good job guys. We'll be back.
It's our first time there and it didn't disappoint. Thank you for the great food and excellent service. Definitely go for the prime rib and let the waiter tell you about their specials for the night ( had sword fish). We'll be back!
Been living here my whole life and never tried this spot until tonight. Wow the steaks were perfectly cooked and season! I got the spicy coffee rub and wow, the cook sure cooked it perfectly "medium". Came out so good, best steak in twn!! Better then texas road house! Only thing missing is the bread with sweet butter!
