Second trip to a true 'hole in the wall' on Hempstead Rd. near intersection with Campbell Rd. Had Teriyaki Beef today, quite good with an ample serving and plenty of fried rice, plus small salad on the side and fries if wanted. Had a very good cheeseburger earlier this week with fries & onion rings. Asian couple run the place, and though place doesn't look like much food is good, outdoor picnic tables under awning are the dining area. Burgers, Seafood, Asian/Chinese, and other items, did not see any bar-b-que items listed. Prices are moderate; Cash Only, with all menu and pricing listed. Try it out, it's worth the trip. read more

Powdered lemonade, a burger that tasted frozen and boiled mixed with flavorless frozen crinkle cut fries. They definitely need to step up food quality and seasoning! Hopefully they can get these issues sorted and get more customers read more

Branding Iron Barbeque Hamburger - Very nice place. Fresh food. Nice people. - Barbeque Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've been eating at Branding Iron for the last 45 years. Some of the best food around when you are on the go. I highly recommend the Beef Teriyaki Plate or Cheeseburger plate. Fantastic service with very friendly owners. Bring cash because they do not accept credit cards or Apple Pay. Delicious!!!!! read more

The other days I was on the Metro 45 on Hempstead I spotted this place and knew I had to check it out...especially when I saw how long it had been since a Yelp Review of the joint. For a person who does not drive the Metro 45 goes right to it with a stop at Campbell rd. Don't let the look of the place, and the rundown parking, scare you off... The menu is large and varied, including separate breakfast sandwich and burger specials...and some higher prices than when last reviewed. I love the wooden picnic benches for outdoor dining. The $7 Cheeseburger Special and the Chicken Burger were tasty. The place is still cash only, so be sure to double check your change, when given back, because the nice lady running the place appears to have math issues. :-D As an added bonus, for the curious, the Fairbanks Cemetery (since 1897) is around the corner on Stonington. read more

I've passed this place day after day and finally decided to stop. You walk up to the window place your order and you can take it to go or eat within the outdoor seating area. The prices are reasonable and it's CASH ONLY. I ordered a single burger with fries and it was delicious. I'm a huge fan of old fashioned burger joint and this did not disappoint. I will be visiting again in the near future. read more

Horrible. Stopped here after reading the sign clearly reads "BBQ". Come to find out they don't have any fucking bbq... Great. Upon getting here, there's a sign that says no card, CASH only. What type of stupid antiquated archaic bullshit place is this? Square is literally inexpensive to open. Fuck.... What an inconvenience. Don't EVER go here. read more

Great little stop. Had the $9 cheeseburger deal, cburger, fries and a lemonade. Everything was fresh and hot. Tasted great! Diverse menu from burgers to fish and rice items. It is cash only so plan accordingly. Will be back! Oh did I say lemonade, great flavor and a nice change from all the sodas. Enjoy the picnic tables and watch the world go by as well. read more

This is my review of The Branding Iron in response to Belly G & Vicky V's 1 star reviews... First Vicky... Frozen onion rings and out of a menu item constitutes a 1 star rating? Next is Belly, Who graces the pages of yelp with her "War and Peace-esque" review of not a white linen, posh, downtown restaurant, but a mom and pop burger joint in the middle of Hempstead highway's industrial park. Ridiculous. At first glance you might miss it, it's not a glamorous building, maybe it needs a coat of paint, maybe nicer picnic tables, or maybe the parking lot could be paved, but none of that has anything to do with the wonderful food and amazing hospitality of the husband and wife that run it. I'm not going to bark about how great "I" think the food is, go down and try it for yourself. I will tell you though, a 1 star it is NOT. read more

For the love of God! Avoid this place at all costs!! I drive by this place almost on a daily basis. There's only outdoor seating and I don't ever see anyone dining here. If there were anyone, probably one or two customers at most. In my never ending quest of finding the next "OMG! How come I didn't know about this place" burger joint, me and a co-worker foolishly decided to try this place out. BIG MISTAKE! And I will tell you why. You have to order at the window and there are menus attached to both sides of the window. One menu is for their combo specials and the other is for a la carte. While we were looking at the menu and we were going to ask questions about the menu; the lady at the window cut us off before we could say anything and said very rudely, "Before you order, for this (points at combo menu), add $1 to everything. And for this (points at a la carte menu), add $0.50 to everything!" Oooo-kaay... umm.. fine, whatever. My co-worker then proceeded and asked her, "what are y'all known for here?" She didn't answer and grabbed a piece of paper from behind the counter and literally slammed it in front of us without saying anything. We looked over what was on that piece of paper and it was pretty much their "special." Get a hamburger, fries, and drink for $5. Yup. That's it. While we were talking about what to get, she rudely grabbed that piece of paper from in front of us and put it back behind the counter and said, "I need this. This is my last one!" Umm... fine. Keep it. At this point, my co-worker told me that he felt like he was at the soup nazi place out of Seinfeld. Well, we placed our orders and my co-worker tried to make small talk again because that's just how he is and he was trying to be friendly. He said, "So, how long have y'all been in business?" She grabbed the same piece of paper that had been taken away and slammed it back in front of us and said, "read again!" On the right side of that piece of paper, there's a little stamp with the restaurant's name on it, phone number and a small print below it that stated that the restaurant had been in business for over 30 years. Ooookay... we didn't see it because we were too busy looking at the menu and because that piece of paper was rudely taken away in the first place, lady!!! Sheesh. Anyway, we ordered a cheeseburger combo and a beef teriyaki combo. The beef teriyaki combo came with fried rice (bleh tasting), fries, and salad. the beef teriyaki wasn' too bad but it needed more teriyaki sauce. It was too dry. As for the cheeseburger, it was barely average. Seriously. I mean, with the kind of attitude the owner was giving out, I was hoping that at least the burger was going to be one of the best burgers I've ever had. But nope. NOT EVEN CLOSE! And this place wasn't cheap either. For those two combos and a drink, we spent over $20! Not something I'd like to spend at a run down place like this. And, during the time we were waiting for our food, there were other customers who came and went (most ordered to go) and I don't think I heard her tell any of them about the additional $1 or $0.50 on the menu prices. WHAT THE F, LADY?! Nope, not coming back. EVER. Not even if my meals were free. I suggest you do the same. P.S. they sell buckets for $2 each. Seriously. read more

I went back and ordered their shrimp fried rice for $6.45. It was very good and was a large portion. I recommend.

Your standard, greasy burger. Which means that it's excellent. Fast, friendly service. Don't let the looks scare you away.

A good tasting old fashioned burger, fries are good, as well as their eggrolls. Been there a long time, friendly couple run it. Very reasonable pricing. Give it a try. read more

Just been once. The hamburger was pretty good but the onion rings.... you could tell they were just bought frozen onion rings. I was wanting a BBQ sandwich but she said they didn't have any that day... not sure I'll be back. read more

The chili cheese fries are so good I just want to rub them in my hair. This is a little hole in the wall burger joint and the food is super delicious. Their cheeseburger combo is like $5 or $6 bucks and it will make you want to slap ya Momma. They toast the bun perfectly, and its just a great burger. Beef teriyaki is also really good. All the portions are huge, and the prices are low. They have been there for about 30 years and I see why. CASH ONLY but its all good. Stop there for breakfast too, you get two huge breakfast sandwiches for $5!! AND they sell buckets, I might need a bucket the next time I go, cause I'm ordering errythang. read more

So I ordered a double meat cheese burger ($5.56) and fries ($2.10) which should total ($7.66 +tax) and charged me $10.00 or tried to up sell me to the lunch special. When I attempted to point this out three times, the lady walked away. I don't appreciate dishonesty. I got the burger anyways, because I already waste a part of my lunch break, but don't waste your time. The fries are freezer fries from the store. read more

do not recommend.only cash and meals come with lemonade only.if you want another drink is two dollars extra

This place is right around the corner from my office. The first time I went Kim gave me a card and said to order ahead so I didn't have to wait in the cold (it was December). the burgers are awesome but the fries are amazing!! They have never been rude and while it seems like the place is always empty they are constantly working on to go orders. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for some good comfort food and big portions. read more

Best chicken sandwiches! I get the platter, it comes with fries, onion rings, and side salad. I've been eating them for years. Beef teriyaki platter is also good. The owners are really nice people too. read more

Old fashioned mom and pop burger stand. Serves one of the absolutely best burgers I've ever eaten. A lot of places could take lessons from them, especially a certain place in Jersey. read more
