This is our go to restaurant for date night!! The vibe is nice, we always have great service and the food is so good. These are my favorite wings in town! Don't forget to make a reservation because it does fill up quick! I also love the bread dipped in beans!.

This joint is owned by Robin Cantrel. She’s owned it for 200 years or so. The Branding Iron symbolizes rural cuisine reminiscent of an era long past. No greedy corporation runs this joint. Robin, a native of Safford, looks out for everyone who sits here in her home away from home. Her second home/restaurant, though not five star, serves food marinated in Graham County Culture. I prefer the Rose 🌹 room. I recommend calling ahead and making a reservation. I’d give you Robin’s number but she might get ticked. :) . She’s awesome.
The Rose Room and the main area offer a beautiful view of the Gila Valley and Mount Graham one of the largest island mountains one can find. We eat her often. It is my kitchen away from my kitchen.
Here we find perfection in imperfection.
Tonight’s choice: a shared sirloin and lobster. We are going home happy having been served with friendship.
Experience Graham County’s history here before corporate America takes it away.

Went to eat here and was told no tables till 630!! Its barely 510 at this point 😤 but then we were told we can sit and eat at the bar."Me looking at all the empty tables" 🤨 Ok guess I'm getting drunk. Went to the bar and a regular mentioned Robin if I spelled her name right and she got us a table. She was amazing and wonderful. Took care of me and my woman. Food was delicious and Robin took real good care of us. And the atmosphere in the bar area was great. I would highly recommend. And if you don't have a reservation go to the bar area and if Robin is there she'll take good care of you. She also took care of a big family there too and it was good. No pics at this point but I will get it next time

The service we received from Haley was horrible. She took our order at a reasonable time and brought us our drinks, then disappeared for an hour!
Some 20 minutes after we have been sitting with empty glasses she came by and said the kitchen is backed up by a large group that put their order in before us. I am not sure why that prevented her from refilling our drinks though!
They finally brought out our prime rib and I asked about the side salad that came with it. Haley said she knew she forgot something, so she went to put in our side salad orders.
We waited 20 more minutes to get the side salad, which was nothing to write home about. It was just a hand-full of lettuce, I don’t know why it took 20 extra minutes to get it.
When we received the check, it showed beans and toast should have come with our meal. I let Haley know that we never received the beans and toast. She brushed me off saying that is how it gets rung up. I had to reiterate that we did not receive these items with our meal. So she boxed them up for me to take home as we were already finished.
In summary, this was the worst experience I have had in a long time,
1. Haley not refill our drinks for an hour
2. Side salads were forgotten before entree, we had to remind them that our meals came with a salad
3. Side salads took 20 extra minutes despite being a handful of lettuce
4. Beans and toast were also forgotten with our meal
