    The Cure loaded

    We drove 30 minutes to try this place out. We arrived around 9:00am and sat on the waiting bench for about 15 min, until a table opened up. They are quick to clean up tables and get folks seated. It is a testament to how good this place is when, although small, it is packed. We were waited on promptly by a very sweet and hardworking server. The service was quick, the coffee kept full, and our food was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

    When the cafe is surrounded by a cow operation on three sides and smells like sizzling beef you best be ordering a thick and juicy hamburger. We did just that on our first trip to the Branding Iron Cafe and we were not disappointed! Located near the edge of town, not unusual when cattle are involved, this little cafe packs a big punch with its breakfast and lunch offerings while open 7:00 am-2:00 pm Thursday thru Monday. (Closed Tuesday and Wednesday) Upon entering a server let us know it was open seating, brought us menus and promptly took our drink orders. Servers were amazing and with one fluid trip to the grill to que up our order she wiped down two tables and straightened another. As we were leaving, we learned that the cook was newly hired and just finishing up week one at the grill. Hang on to this one! Our $8.99 burgers were seasoned and charred to perfection. Add in the perfect fries and you will keep 99.9% of Nebraska's population satisfied--our burgers and fries were that good! Our only disappointment was being too stuffed to try items from the dessert or breakfast menu. The strawberry shortcake will be sampled on our next trip along with the biscuits and gravy, eggs over easy, sticky buns, cinnamon rolls.............you see the dilemma. We will be back, again, and again, and again. Did I tell you how awesome our burgers were?

    This place is the bomb! Take a beautiful drive in the country out to Wahoo, NE. The Branding Iron is a fun outing as well as delicious food! Breakfast and lunch until 2pm or the cows are sold! Seriously, there is a weekly cattle auction! The service is friendly and the menu is everything you are hungry for. Homemade did I mention? Chili, soup, Cubans, corn beef and hash, etc. Plus, berry pie, peanut butter pie, blueberry coffee cake, berry kolaches, sigh. Prices are very good too! Call ahead for hours and auction times.

    Good Friends Cafe - Hot Beef Sandwich special

    Awesome service! Great food, piping hot!…read moreGreat prices! I had the roast beef mushroom cheesy sandwich on sourdough. Everything here is made from scratch, including the bread. This sandwich is a masterpiece. It's like a cheesy hot beef. Lots of meat and hearty. What I really came for was the homemade chicken dumpling soup. My friend, a Wahoo native, said it's a must try. The recipe was passed down from previous owners. It was hearty and yummy with a unique spice. I couldn't put my finger on it but almost like a seafood seasoning. My friend had me bring her a huge jar to-go! I also couldn't say no to the cinnamon roll. I'm picky about my cinnamon rolls so this wasn't the best I've ever had but I did enjoy it. Not moist all the way through and a little burnt on the bottom but it was clearly homemade. I love small town cafes. They are usually super cute, featuring locally made items, etc. and Good Friends is no exception. I would have liked to have seen more storage because I felt like there was stuff kind of everywhere that needed to be put away. Could maybe use some cosmetic, painting updates around the salad bar/counter. But none of this impacted the food or service so I highly recommend stopping in!!

    From pictures that I've seen the place has been updated. The food was never very good when I've…read moregone and it just seemed like it needed a good cleaning but that may have changed - it's now under new ownership. It's popular with the morning coffee drinkers.
