    We had a large group 9 people they accommodated us beautifully. Everyone had a wonderful meal and a great experience and we’re adventurous and tried many items from goat to manage water to conch, and everyone was thrilled with their food, as well as plenty to take home and enjoy for another time!!

    I visited Branches Grill and Cafe with my wife as part of an anniversary weekend we were spending in Chatham, MA. I made the reservation because I wanted to try something new and Caribbean cuisine sounded interesting, but I didn't really know what to expect. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the host, who seemed to be expecting us and sat us without delay. The restaurant was nearly full and full of energy with a welcoming atmosphere. The menu was full of interesting dishes and it was difficult to decide. The Mannish Water and and Beef Soup were excellent. My wife settled on the Oxtail, which she'd never had, and found to be delicious. I ordered a special BBQ Pork dish, which was equally amazing. Not only was the food perfect, the staff was equally friendly and inviting. Perhaps the best part was that somehow the waitress could tell that we were celebrating something and began asking us about it, and we were more than happy to share. When it came time for dessert the whole restaurant erupted in applause and congratulations for us as the wait staff brought out a slice of cake with "Happy 20th Anniversary" written in chocolate sauce. It was such a kind gesture and brought tears to our eyes, and it made the whole night that much more special. We'll definitely be visiting Branches Grill and Cafe again the next time we are in Chatham.

    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.

    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.

    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.
