Branding Iron Restaurant

Old West steakhouse charm on Route 66

(54)
Williams, AZ

About

Part of the Wild West Junction complex on Route 66 in Williams, the Branding Iron Restaurant leans hard into log-cabin, Old West atmosphere — wooden interiors, vintage photos and rustic relics packed into every corner. It's the steakhouse tucked deeper into the complex, distinct from the more casual bar-and-BBQ spot up front near the street.

What to order

Steak is the reason to come. Reviewers single out the prime rib as a standout — tender, juicy, and well worth the splurge — alongside the Texas twinkies as a favorite starter. There's also a Tombstone platter on the menu for anyone wanting a sampler. Portions and pacing feel classic roadside-steakhouse, with outdoor seating available on nicer evenings.

Good to know

  • Hours: open daily, 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM

It's a solid stop if you're rolling through Williams on the way to or from the Grand Canyon Railway depot and want a Western-themed dinner with genuine character rather than a chain feel.

This place feels like you’ve stepped into an old Western movie — log cabin vibes, quirky little trinkets everywhere, and just the right amount of cowboy charm. 🤠 There are two restaurants in the complex. The one near the street is more of a bar with BBQ and bar food. But if you're on a mission for steak (like we were), head deeper into the wooden wilderness — that's where the real steakhouse hides. The steaks? Juicy, flavorful, and cooked just the way you'd expect in the Wild West. My family loved it. Inside, it’s a treasure trove of vintage stuff — old photos, rustic relics, and enough character to make you want to hang around after dessert.

We get a typical American cheeseburger with fries here. Fries are a little bit hard and crunchy. The rest of the food and service are average. Anyway, the location is pretty good and the atmosphere is cozy. Suggested if you are passing through Williams.

Came here because Rods was closed. Glad we did. Ordered the Tomestone platter and it was excellent. Considering the COVID bs the service was great. Sat outside on a beautiful evening.

Not impressed. Service was slow, food was mediocre. Lots of soggy French fries to fill up the plates. Messed up on 2 of our 5 orders, I never did get my sweet potato fries that I ordered (and pointed it out when our food was delivered).

We loved it! We splurged on the prime rib....OMG it was perfect! Tender, juicy and flavorful! We tried the Texas twinkies and loved them too! The owner came around and checked on everybody. Service was fantastic, never had an empty drink.
