Wow, this restaurant will not leave you disappointed. As a foodie this restaurant was amazing, it does open table reservations, it’s not that crowded, service was top notch, then even let our kids come back into the kitchen and meet the chef. Definitely coming back again!

This is a "Must Eat Here Now" place if you like well cooked and flavorful food!! There are lots of options on the menu from burgers to unique Caribbean classics. I'll post the menuThe bartender has been serving here for years! You can taste the passion of, chef and manger , Lan's style, for serving great tasting dishes! I had the cape cod Ruben which is a white fish ( not corn beef) which was fried perfect, accessorized with your mothers style coleslaw on top then and tucked cozy between toasted marble rye! YUMMY! My husband had the pulled pork which transcended his hangriness to fulltopia! He loved the saturation of tangy, lightly smoked and spiced sauce on the pork! We stumbled on this little gem on our way out of cape cod regretfully we had no room for more food so we will have to come back here next visit and get the pumpkin beef stew. The sample was AWSOME! It was a hardy beef flavor with the added comfort that pumpkin gives you. This was an unexpected loveClaudette-Thank you for the sample and great service!

Perfect dining experience from warm hospitality to a delicious meal in a comfortable setting. We enjoyed the jerk chicken and shrimp, beans and rice, plantains and peach salsa. Save room for the key lime pie as it is a delicious balance of tart and sweet. Most of all our waitress, Claudette, made our night- she answered our questions, made suggestions and orchestrated the meal and drinks for a relaxed meal. Highly recommend!

We were searching for dinner in Chatham and randomly picked Branches. We went in and were greeted by friendly people in a nice, clean, pleasantly decorated restaurant with upbeat reggae style music playing. We selected jerk chicken and grilled fish for our entrees and pumpkin beef soup to start out with. Wow! The soup was amazing. As flavorful as any I have ever tasted. Soon after the entrees came out and they did not disappoint. I have eaten jerk chicken in Jamaica and it didn’t compare to this. The most succulent perfectly prepared chicken I have ever eaten. The rice and veggies were also phenomenal. I feel like I am really short changing them with 5 stars.

This is a delightful restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly and there is a real neighborhood feel to the bar area. Our server was lovely and the rest of the staff was welcoming. The food was well prepared and full of interesting and creative seasoning. We recommend the barbecue chicken and be sure to get the beans and rice with it - really good! And also really good was the Escovitch fish - a whole red snapper with tangy vegetables on top. We also had a taste of their goat soup which was delicious. If you have not eaten goat, the taste is similar to lamb. Just sad that I don’t live closer - it would be my neighborhood hangout for sure.

I can't believe this little treasure has been in my home town for 2 years and I finally got to dine here. If you want very authentic Caribbean food, come to Branches. Owner Ian and his Jamaican cook will transport you to Ocho Rios Jamaica mon for a delicious meal hard to get in the USA. I had the jerk chicken with sautéed vegetables, plantains, dirty rice and beans, and a mango salad. The chef sent out a pumpkin and beef soup that was so tasty - on the house. The decor is fun and of course Bob Marley and the Wailers are playing on the sound system. The chicken melted in my mouth. This is must-dine restaurant to visit when you come to Cape Cod.

Finding a place for lunch can be a challenge here on the Cape, As a local chef with mid-week days off I was pleasantly surprised to find Branches Grill and Cafe was open. First off great experience running into a regular there from where I work. The waitress/bartender Barbara was so personable and welcoming. Met Chef Ian and was offered a sample of the Beef and Pumpkin Soup which was incredibly delicious with complex spices, yum! Went with the Jerk Chicken Plate that came with red beans and rice. Every bite was moist and juicy with just the right amount of jerk seasoning and a generous portion. Barbara continued to entertain with her foodie background and we had much fun sharing our mutual past and interests. Will be back and can' wait to try the oxtails and the goat curry!

I LOVE BRANCHES! Every meal I've had here has been delicious! Prices are reasonable, portions are large. My go-to is the chicken panini and fries but also love the chicken Caesar wrap, and Jamaican patties. Today I tried a cup of pumpkin beef soup and it was sooo flavorful with melt in your mouth chunks of beef. I'll be ordering a bowl from now on! You haven't been yet - GO!

Lets face it..finding great food with large portions at a great price is no easy task in Chatham. Well search no more! Branches is the place for you! The menu is fantastic too..something for everyone. Red Stripe with my gigantic double burger was amazing. All our meals were great and the host was such a pleasant man. Truly a great experience.

We enjoyed a wide variety of dinner selections for our first time, take out of course. From oxtail, jerk chicken, fried cod to chicken tenders (children) all the entrees were accompanied by delicious veggies, fried plantains and a rice choice (with beans is better); all the choices were above expectations. Jerk chicken was flvorful, true to tradition; oxtail was a braised delight; we also loved the fried plantains. Overall a great choice to balance the seafood heavy choices nearby; delicious spices not overdone.

We have family in Chatham and came for a visit from our home in SF Bay Area. Branches was our last dinner together before heading home and we all were so happy we dined there. Delicious Jamaican cuisine, a full bar and the warmth of owner/host/chef Ian. A perfect combination. We loved the evening. Thank you Ian!

A ten. We took our 3 teenagers here for lunch while on a biking excursion. You can order by phone, but we just walked in. We had panini’s and wraps that were exceptionally high quality and killer good. You gotta love happy, impressed teenagers, right? The owner/manager also is very friendly and helpful. Go.
