Was Mark S at Branches Grill And Cafe a mag?
Superb Jamaican flavors, artfully curated in both the drinks and dishes, served up by engaging staff at extremely reasonable prices in a charming, relaxed venue. I enjoyed the Mannish Water (goat head soup) and the Curried Goat which were both taste sensations. View all feedback.

Repeat customer, Branches always a good value and fun Jamaican vibe!
Fun cozy restaurant with great food, wine and service. Both the Jamaican and American dishes were great and affordable.
Chef Ian serves the most flavorful food in Chatham. His mastery of Jamaican dishes is expected. It’s his skill with classic American (and Italian pasta) dishes that’s so delightful. All in a friendly, charming, colorful atmosphere that proves great food and non fussy vibes go together just fine. For starters, don’t miss the beef pumpkin soup or the house nachos. If you’re a salmon fan, do not miss the daily special, however it’s seasonally prepared. The house pesto is also a family fave. Finally, the drink menu has evolved into a first class celebration of taste and the Rum Punch transported us back to a cherished Negril vacation.
I had curry goat and partner had jerk chicken, both excellent. However the conch fritter app was overcooked and too crusty. Unfortunately, there was an office party of 8 that was very loud. It's not the restaurants fault and I understand celebrations, but parties should be cognizant that there are others in the room who are not interested in their revelry.
Fantastic! The conch fritters and jerk chicken and pork were SO good! Can’t wait to back. I can’t believe I haven’t eaten there before.

We showed up at Branches right before they opened with our friends who live on the Cape. They had never eaten here before. Both couples split a jerk chicken dish along with a Caesar salad. Melissa was our server. From the service to the food this was a top notch experience. The jerk chicken and salad were delicious and Melissa did a great job! I highly recommend you give it a try. Food: 5
Edit: new 4% cc fee applied to all checks isn’t mentioned anywhere on menus or in the business, which is illegal, and which the manager did not offer to refund. I have been to branches 15 or 20 times over the past few years and am sad to see them start nickel diming customers.

Charming little restaurant! I was able to get a table without a reservation. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was excellent. My only recommendation would be for them to invest in a better sound system, as the one they currently have is quite poor.
I visited this restaurant a few years ago and had an excellent experience! The food was juicy and flavorful! However, tonight the Ruck chicken with rice and beans was quite dry. I added a lot of barbecue sauce, which improved the flavor, but it was still too dry for my liking.
This review reflects our disappointing experience with the service. We waited for thirty minutes before anyone came to ask if we were ready to place our order. During that time, we observed the head server chatting and clearing tables, which contributed to a sense of arrogance in the atmosphere. Although we could have chosen another restaurant, we wanted to show our support for a small business. We are sharing this review to raise awareness of the service issues we encountered.
Great menu and service. The chicken was dry. Plantains were wonderful. Salsa was great, Slav was good. Rice and beans were boring and dry.
Excellent meal and great service. Claudette was very helpful, friendly and made our night. The chicken wings, goat curry, lemon pepper prawns and jerk chicken were gorgeous. Our last night in Chatham, thank you for a lovely evening.
