Authentic, tasty, generous servings. Lovely setting. We only get to dine here while visiting the Cape, so we go as often as we can. Conch fritters, jerk chicken, even better jerk pork, yummy rice & beans, plaintains...goat, oxtail... soups & so much more. The chef, alone in the kitchen on our most recent visit, served excellent food to a full house at the bar, tables outside, tables in. Even quality...ok, a little slow, but just 1 takented chef alone! Looking forward to next summer already. PS lovely wait staff, too read more

Super Exited that we gave Branches a try!! Easy to locate with plenty of parking!! Great Atmosphere, Clean & Bright! Loved that it's family owned and operated! Me and husband both order the Greek omelette and a side of sausage! The sausages (2) were large & juicy ! Omelette was flavorful, comes with home fries and toast. Good portion for the price ! Server appear timid and inexperienced but over all the service was pleasant. Food took a bit longer than expected but definitely was worth the wait! Highly Recommend it! read more

Branches Grill and Cafe - Greek Omelette with a side of sausage! Yummy!! - Caribbean Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

We found this place through yelp and we're looking for a change. We wanted something other than seafood, this place was the perfect change. The meat was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. Along with the great food the service was amazing. The hostess was extremely friendly and the waitresses were great as well. The food came out quick and was great. The atmosphere of the restaurant just continued to add to the great mood. It's has a very nice and enjoyable feel. All in all I highly recommend this restaurant, the food is great the service is great and it is just a great restaurant. read more

food was great, but it took an extremely long time to get anything to the table. We were not expecting a two hour meal with no appetizers or desserts just entrées. It seems like they serve the whole place at once so something was on in the kitchen. read more

Excellent food and amazing drinks. Ian is a very welcoming host. Will be back soon for sure.

Very disappointed. Service was slow and inattentive. Place was too LOUD at lunch time. The worst part was what they serve as "ox tail" was actually beef neck bones. Very little meat, mostly fat and expensive at $25. I'm a chef who knows the difference between these two cuts. Beans and rice were dry and everything was over sauced and too sweet. read more

10/10! Food is amazing. Service is amazing. They're very welcoming to children as well. Beef & pumpkin soup is sooooo good. We got the oxtail, salmon special & Jamaican rum cake. Can't wait to go back read more

Great service and good food! The soup is wonderful and the food is authentic Jamaican!

Really terrific food, from the fish and chips through the bbq chicken combo. Great chatting with the chef too. Highly recommended!

3 stars has nothing to do with food and everything to do with service. My family and I walked in and didn't get a very warm welcome. The woman and man working the front of house were kind and chatty with the other tables but seemed to ignore us. The only reason I can think of is because we were with our two young kids, didn't order drinks or apps and they just didn't want to waste their time on our table. They didn't come to check on us or ask if we needed anything. I felt like we offended them somehow. It's a shame because the food was tasty and I would have recommended it... read more

Witnessed the person in the kitchen making the sandwich - NO GLOVES ON. Asking $21 for a Panini is also ridiculous. Canceled order. Also, Ordered over the phone and they gave a 15-20min wait time (for a sandwich) despite there being Zero patrons in the restaurant upon arrival ten minutes later. Need to do better all round. read more

Everything was irie! The steamed fish was tasty but I don't think the fish was fresh vs frozen. The okra and vegetables were lovely! My daughter loved her chicken !! We love Jamaican food. read more

We went for lunch. The portion sizes are abundant and tasty. Ordered the jerk chicken, curried goat, red beans and rice. The food was hot, delish and the homemade jerk sauce was flavorful with just the right amount of spice. Chef Ian let us sample the jerk pork. We will be coming back just to have that! It was that good. If you're looking for something different in Chatham. Try Branches read more

Best club sandwich - ever! We were driving around Chatham when we came across this hidden gem. I had an incredible club sandwich. I was more like a bacon sandwich with turkey, lettuce and tomato.

Fantastic food , service and drinks are delish! Highly recommend this special place (jerk chicken and brown fish are perfection )

We loved Branches! This place is small and cozy but not cramped with great service and great food. I had the goat curry and it was delicious. My wife had the oxtail and liked it. They also served a complimentary tasting of beef and squash soup that I would return for just for a full serving. Our server was Natasha or Natalia (we each heard something different) but she was very attentive and provided great service. In short, this was our first visit to Branches but won't be our last. We look forward to returning! read more

Great service and delicious flavors....can't beat this hidden gem in Chatham. The escovitch is to die for and all the jerk options are great too. read more

This place exceeded expectations!' The food was on-point... We had the jerked chicken and jerked pork and they were both outstanding.. The meat was moist and well seasoned... Both came with delicious veggies, rice and beans and fried plantains.... I have been to Jamaica several times and this was better!! Definitely worth it. read more

Great food! Very friendly, welcoming attentive staff. Casual dining in a colorful venue. Large portions!! Some choices have a Jamaican flair, full of personality!! read more

I'm so glad I tried Branches! What a refreshingly different cuisine in Chatham! I got the jerk chicken combo and it came with a massive amount of food at a great price. The chicken was well flavored, juicy, and tender. Unfortunately I went during quarantine but would have loved to have sat at the bar. The decor and music really set a great mood to enjoy this Caribbean inspired meal! read more

Branches Grill and Cafe - Jerk Chicken Meal Combo - Caribbean Near Me - Chatham, Massachusetts

This is the best meal we had in Chatham!!! We were tired of seafood every night and decided to try something different and I'm SO GLAD we did. The jerk chicken was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spice. Rice + beans were so flavorful as well. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes!! read more

Great food with a authentic feel. Has a great island vibe. There is seating for outside and inside. Music is nice. Just feels like a day in the islands. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the cape, better than Jerk cafe by far. read more

Closest thing to authentic Jamaican food without going directly to the island. Great service and you will never meet a friendlier staff. I have personally spent plenty of time in the Caribbean and its top notch in comparison. The handmade cocktails from the super funny locally grown mixologist are to die for and a friendly pour wink wink. Try the sangria with a Caribbean flare.. read more

The food was fabulous. The service was warm and attentive. The decor was festive. Eating here was the highlight of our trip!

Alright, I've only had phenomenal jerk pork twice, and this was one of them. If you're a fan of real jerk pork, this is your stop. I also tried the jerk chicken wings, and whole red snapper, and this place is the truth... It's going to be my Cape Jamaican joint when I'm up there. read more

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! read more

First time here, won't be my last! The food was excellent! Owner brought us a sample of this amazing pumpkin and beef soup...one of the best I've ever had! The caesar salad and conch fritters...so good! I loved the atmosphere too. Such a cozy, warm, friendly and truly welcoming spot. I can't wait to go back! Thank you for such a nice time. read more

Grilled Shrimp CaesarLemon Pepper Shrimp My wife ordered and thought it was great. This from a lady who doesn't like fish, but does like shrimp. Red Snapper As good a fish as I've had in 79 years on this planet. Owner realized it was our 55th anniversary and gifted us a chocolate lava dessert that was out of this world. From waitress to owner, these people couldn't have made us feel more welcome. read more

Thank you Yelp reviewers for the five stars reviews that led us to this Jem of a restaurant. Five star experience from start to finish. The service could not have been better not was beyond outstanding. 50% of the party had specific request: Seafood allergy, gluten free. They were soooo accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we were completely happy. For us that's 75% of the experience right there but the food was amazing too. My son had the chicken panini which he said was the beat sandwich he's ever had. The steamed snapper was amazing and the jerk pork was incredible. Everything was hot and fresh. Can't wait to come back!!! Love love love this place!!!! read more

Good solid breakfast! Tasty omelette and pancakes. The staff is very nice and prompt. Added bonus we can walk there! Good luck to you!!! read more

Some of the best Jamaican food I've had in the US. Outstanding jerk chicken, delicious tender oxtail, very tasty coleslaw and probably the best plantains I've EVER had! The owner and the staff are very friendly and very professional. The atmosphere is very chill. Will definitely come back and eat here again! Highly recommended! read more

First time customer. Was surprised to find Caribbean inspired food in this area. Ordered takeout. The food was great. It was piping hot in the containers when I picked it up. Got the jerk chicken wings, the buffalo chicken wings and the eskovitch fish. My friend raved about how good the fish was. The jerk chicken sauce on the side was a bit too spicy - my only complaint. Staff was very friendly. Will definitely eat from here again next time I'm in the area. read more

Love this place. Come here every time we come to the cape on and off season. Food is reliably great and wait staff excellent. The chef is friendly and will chat with you. Real find! read more

This is an absolute delight. Highly recommend by Barbara We had the jerk ox tail and jerk chicken. Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned!!! Must try the Jamaican Rum Punch!!! We will definitely be back when we are on the Cape. Thank you Barbara for all your help!!! read more

The best bet here is for lunch. The chicken and pork dishes are still tender and juicy. By evening dinner the chicken/meat dishes are typically very dried out and tough. read more

Brutally slow service and food time. Sat for 45 minutes before asking about when the food would arrive, was told it would be right out but the food didn't come 15-20 minutes later so asked to pay for our drinks and left. There was no warning about delayed food times when we sat down. read more
