Brann’s Steakhouse & Grille

Horrid. I’ll never come back to this place. when we walked in, a server told us we had to sit in the bar. okay, fine. kind of disappointed about that. we’re sitting in the bar which is louder than all hell so I was already irritated. the table was sticky, they didn’t have the soup I saw on the menu that I was looking forward to. strike 2. I ordered a burger because I hadn’t eaten all day and was frustrated. I get the burger, it was definitely a frozen, flavorless patty and there were 10 measly fries on the plate. my water was empty for 15 minutes while I was looking directly at our waitress sitting down and talking to other servers. being a server myself I expected a lot more than the mediocre service that was provided. I don’t know which was worse, the food or the service. I would give this place 0 stars if I could.

No stars… u have to be kidding me when I order a mid rare stk. and it comes out cold and purple in the center…

Avocado nachos are very tasty and the Coney Island Root Beer is not as sweet as the It’s Not Your Father’s Root Beer. Enjoying the Tiger game.

On Sunday 2 Aug, my wife and I went to Branns to have a late dinner. We got there before 11 pm, which was a hour before closing. It was raining hard, when we got in, we were told the dining room was closed, and the bar was opened for drinks only. Number one if you are opened til midnight and you aren’t change your times! Number 2 saying it was Sunday, refer to number 1. This happened to be our first anniversary. We both decided that we will never ever ever go back.

The lunch menu is decent, quick service, rolls and butter are awesome. I just think the place needs a deep cleaning. Sticky floors, and sticky menus gross me out.

Chose this place on a whim when driving by. Three old army buddies who hadn’t seen one another in a coon of Sundays!
Our waitress Jessica went above and beyond and was more than attentive, we had steaks which were cooked to perfection! Great atmosphere, highly recommended will be back again next time I am in the area!

Sizzling steak not recommended… The bread/​butter is good. Now if you ask me if I come back? I’ll think twice… Rather go to Texas Roadhouse. 3 stars coz the inside is nice, service is fast.

The steak was basically hamburger meat and the mashed potatoes were spicy they had this spice or something in it. The rolls were not like usual they were dry and hard. Overall i refuse to eat her ever again unless i was paid too

Service was very slow… and considering that the restaurant in general was not busy service should have been better. The most appalling thing was sitting in my seat (on the upper bar seating area) and I looked over to see a waitress go from the dining room into the kitchen and begin to make a salad. Mind you there was no hand washing being done prior to this… the waitress begins grabbing handfuls of lettuce and vegetables, with her bare dirty hands, and starts tossing the salad. She then proceeded to grab customer’s bread with the same unwashed hands… then off to the table she went to deliver her customers the salad!
I am all for waitstaff helping out by tossing salads but WASH YOUR FRICKING HANDS!!! And wear gloves!!!
I will not return to this establishment.

Date night with the hubby. We went on a Friday night and sat in the sports bar area. Our waitress was soon over to take our drink orders and bring our menus. She had to go back and find her list of what was available on draft. I found it slightly odd that she couldn’t even start to name anything without her list. You would think that the beers that you always have and the beer of the month might be something you would remember, but I let it go.
We ordered a sampler appetizer and then our meals. Hubby and I both got combinations, mine steak and shrimp, his steak and ribs. I ordered my steak medium-​rare and he ordered his medium. Mine came medium and his more medium-​well to well done. The waitress never stopped to ask if the steaks were done correctly. We let that go too and enjoyed the rest of our meals. Our salads and broccoli were delicious. The shrimp was good and the ribs were very tender.
Balancing everything out, I’m giving this trip 3 stars. It wasn’t bad by any means, but there were definite things that could have been done to enhance the experience.

Place is awful. We used to love this place. Then they changed their menu and got rid of the two things I enjoyed getting there. Then they upped their prices. Our service is always subpar unless we get one certain waitress.
We decided to try it out again last night. Bad bad idea. My husbands ribs were dry, and all of his food you could tell was microwaved. We got there about an hour or so before closing, and I’m guessing they just microwaved old food. Mid meal I started feeling sick, wrote it off as just being really hungry. Got home, and a couple hours later, in the bathroom every 5 minutes and puking my guts out! Food poisoning. Lovely.
We will never be back, ever. Getting food poisoning is one thing that seals the deal on ever going back to a restaurant. It’s 8.5 hours later and I’m still sick. Can’t even think about my cold soup and nuked wings without feeling queasy.

This place has been there a long and judging by the constant fruit flys flying around the table it’s dead. Lol, seriously, nothing here was really that great a star service we had as a 4 top, when the place was half empty was disappointing.
It started out bad from the get go, who theropods off the menus they were soaked with water, from what I could only imagine was a dirty rag. Very nasty. We sat around a few minutes, I just went and grabbed some paper towels off a roll at the server station. The girl just smiled and was like whatever. To me when a customer is grabbing paper towels, you should find out why.
Anyway, like I said there was four of us, we had a burger, 2 steaks and a chicken sandwich. The burger was just so so, the steaks I was told they weren’t bad, sort of middle of the road and the chicken was very bland. In the end, could you worse? Yeah you could, but you could also do better.

When they first opened they were delicious. We hadn’t been in a while and went back tonight. Disappointing. Brown lettuce leaves, old potatoes and the steak was overdone and dry. Will not be returning :(

Happy Veteran’s Day! I wanted the day off, but my work didn’t finish till around noon. Since it is Veteran’s Day, I was looking forward to a repeat of last year’s lunchtime meal at another local eating establishment. I called ahead to confirm the eating arrangements (they had a Mess Table set up last year for all of us single-​dining veterans). Unfortunately, this year they weren’t repeating the arrangement.
So today is Take-​a-​Vet-​to-​Lunch-​Day. I invited a long-​time friend of mine to lunch. He’s a Viet Nam vet, served his country, and is still alive to talk about it. We visited Brann’s. I confirmed that they were having a special celebration for veterans. We were seated promptly, with a smile.
First off, our server, Megan P., did an outstanding job. I kinda kept track as she walked back & forth between the kitchen and the dining area. She was one busy gal!
Alright, my buddy forgot his glasses, and guess who had to read the menu offerings to him? We got through all of that and when Megan came back for our orders, we pretty much knew what we would have.
A couple iced teas, followed by fresh dinner rolls (and their yummy honey cinnamon butter), the complimentary 6 ounce steak dinners, with 2 sides and a dessert — we each ordered the exact same thing.
Again, Megan P. did an outstanding job, as did the other servers. It was still around the noon meal and they were all busy. I can not adequately describe how attentive she was, while allowing us time to converse and thoroughly enjoy our meal. And enjoy our meal — we sure did. The steaks were done to perfection, baked sweet potatoes (again, with honey cinnamon butter) were most delicious, and our Caesar’s salads had dressing all the way down to the bottom of the bowl.
When Brann’s says they support our veterans, they mean it!
Thank you Brann’s from the bottom of my heart — you make me proud to be a veteran!

I want to give it 3 stars but I was so disappointed in my salad. I ordered a $ 10.00 avocado, turkey, bacon salad. It was fresh and crisp but that was it. I’ll admit I don’t know for sure if there is such a thing as fake avocado but I swear it was in my salad. Tiny bits of what surely appeared to be fake avocado — there was no taste to the avocado. They were little tiny pieces all cut to the same triangle portion and colored perfectly in 3 avocado layered colors (hint-​hint, not real!). The ‘bacon’ was bacon bits! Gross… the kind you shake out of a jar. I think there may have been one cherry tomatoe in there. Some shredded, yellow processed cheese sprinkled in, and a very small portion of processed turkey lunch meat that was cut in super-​skinny, thin strips. There were some nice dried cranberries. At least it was all fresh so I ate it.
The place was clean and comfortable.
Service was OK.
I guess I’d go back but I sure as heck wouldn’t order the salad that was missing the key ingredients in its’ name!

I’ve been to Brann’s twice now, and each experience was mediocre. I’ll start by saying that I hate how many TV’s there are in the place. If it could be toned down to just the bar area or something it would make it so you could watch sports or have an enjoyable dinner with a little bit of peace.
My first visit had a decent waiter, but this most recent visit our service was terrible. I know people can have off days, but our waitress didn’t seem to know anything about the menu, kept forgetting basic things for us (plates for the rolls), and forgot to bring us our drinks for a good little bit as well.
The food was… alright. The rolls came out a bit cold and very tough. I think they might have been sitting for a while or something as the last time I had them they were much better. My man had the prime rib and a «sea salt crusted baked potato». The steak was very fatty (almost half of it was fat) and there was no salt to be found on the very dry potato. I had the shrimp sensation tilapia with two sides of broccoli. The tilapia was mushy in texture like it had been frozen and thawed too many times. The 4 pcs of shrimp were fine, but I thought the sauce it came with was a bit watery. On the bright side the broccoli tasted fresh and was cooked very well. (I asked for no butter) Normally I’ll take home leftovers, but I ended up just giving the waitress about half my dish to throw away.
Honestly, the best part about this place is the selection of craft beers they have, but I don’t think that’s enough to make me want to come back again after 2 failed attempts.

My mom loves this place, but I just feel … weird … in it.
It’s meant to be a haven for sports fans, with TV’s lining the entire bar and restaurant. It’s cool on a football Saturday or Sunday, but beyond that it’s just too much.
It reminds me of the old Damon’s restaurants that used the same formula with four gigantic TV screens, until many of the places closed because the food and business model just became tiresome after awhile.
There are also TV’s at every table, which is just overkill for me. I prefer eating and good conversation, glancing at the TV here and there. But I felt like I was almost in a zombie apocalypse or something, with people glued to their technology and stuffing average steaks down their throat.
Yes, the steaks here are OK. Not great by any means, and not the worst. Just OK. The other food on the menu, from the potato skins to the onion straw loaf (which is a ripoff of Outback’s ‘Bloomin Onion’), are just alright. The queso dip is pretty good from what I remember.
The place just has no identity. It tries to be Buffalo Wild Wings with steaks being its head honcho, but the best item supposedly on its menu isn’t even that great. Outback has better steaks, as does Texas Roadhouse and other places.
It’s an alright place that, like I said, is good when football is on during the weekends. But otherwise, there are more places on or near Hall Road that are much more appealing.

I got the Fried Chicken Mac & Cheese Skillet for 10.99 (with one side — baked potato) and it was delicious! Cooked to perfection! I also love the cinnamon butter with the rolls that we got at the beginning of our stay.

I always liked coming to Brann’s, but this was a lark coming this time because the person I was with was telling me that the place had fallen off, well it has.
I mean, the staff was nice and as quick as a full-​up weekend crowd would allow, but the food needs some TLC, maybe a changing of the guard. I ordered my steak medium rare and my friend ordered Medium. Two different cuts of meat mind you, mine was purple and the other was overdone. I could have sent mine back but with the amount of people there, I would have seen that steak a half hour later. I choked it down.
Good luck Brann’s, you’re going to need it.

PITA… not the bready type either.
Since most of the restaurants seem to close at 10:00 we decided to catch the end of the Tiger Pirate game and Miami to finish off the Pacers. It wasn’t too busy, considering it was a sports bar. I thought it would be packed? Why not? Plenty of open booths. and I know understand why? after the first 5 minutes, my Bony ass was scooting around for comfort. Why am I being tortured? Or punished? The place is 10 years old and I beg the owner or employees to have a seat in a booth! It was brought up to the waiter. The true test is it getting a message communicated to the manager or owner. Help! Please I’m sure they seen our party trying other booths, just to confirm how bad this was. I don’t want drinks or comped anything. I just want a little comfort for 30 – 45 minutes not just me but everyone deserves a meal that isn’t painful. Helloooooo?!! Is this thing on?
We saw Miami vs Indiana on a big screen and Tigers vs Pirates. I felt the agony of D Seat. (defeat) pun intended.
Food-​3 chicken wings were on special .55 on Tuesday and Thursday good taste burger came well done. Pulled pork was pre sauced and results in a soggy bun! who wants a soggy bun? booo! this reminds me of CRAPPLEBEES with sizzle steaks. The Hamburger was good.
Ambiance-​2 A mix of neon, sports stars pictures dark woods mood lighting. However the booths are awfull! Sit anywhere else if you ever get a choice. Restrooms need a deep cleaning. I’m glad I didn’t see the prep area/​kitchen. FYI the last time I seen these flies was in a third world public restroom in the 70’s. see pics and link.
Service-​4 our waitstaff was real good considering he only had two tables.
Location-​4 easy to find on Hall rd. big parking lot.
Value– 3 plenty of good deals like wings, ribs AYCE $ 14? 20oz domestics 2.50. There are too many slightly better places to go… I’m reluctant to ever return, sorry.
