A Legacy of Flavor and Community: The Story of Branding Iron BBQ

Established in March 1991 by Sherry Keegan, Branding Iron BBQ has been a cherished staple in Cass County for over three decades. As a lifelong resident of the area and a proud native of Drexel, Sherry brought her deep-rooted passion for great food and community to every plate served.

Now, the tradition continues as her son Richard and his wife Amber step into ownership, carrying forward the same dedication to quality and hospitality that Sherry made the cornerstone of the restaurant. With a commitment to preserving the flavors and values that made Branding Iron BBQ a local favorite, Richard and Amber are proud to keep the legacy alive—serving up authentic, mouthwatering barbecue for generations to come.

Come on over for a taste, and leave as part of our extended family, full and happy.

"Branding Iron catered at my place of work today and I must say, wow!! The pulled pork, brisket and bbq sauce was top notch! They should really teach other companies how to make sweet tea because it was the best I've had, that wasn't homemade, ever and I'm from the south. Thanks! I'll be back, even only for the sweet tea!"

"The beef burnt ends were the best we’ve EVER had. They had the right combination of smoky flavor but without any dryness whatsoever and PERFECTLY seasoned. Great service! Great food! Portions were just right. GO! You will NOT regret it. If you do ? There is something wrong with your taste buds. Seriously."
