In the family since 1964
- Before
Pop’s Cafe is a landmark for travelers on old Highway 99E. Pop Uken breeds race horses and spins racing yarns at the end of the counter.
- 1964
Harold and Dolores Heuvel buy Pop’s Cafe, keep Pop’s name, and call it Pop’s Branding Iron.
- 1966
The log cabin goes up on the same spot: seating for 100, a banquet room and the saloon.
- Today
Debbie McTimmonds and Susan Holman keep it a come-as-you-are family restaurant, giant omelettes and all.
“If you want a BIG meal, home-cooked, at an affordable price, head to Pop’s Branding Iron.”
“Their chicken fried steaks and omelettes are enormous!”
