Always a good experience here. But honestly, the right waiter takes the experience from good to great and that's Chris. We love when we are fortunate to get him as our server. He's on IT in every facet. We will be back! read more

My friend and I went there on Saturday. The service there was outstanding. The wait staff person, Mattie was a very pleasant person. Very knowledgeable of the menus and what was available. She was very attentive to our table while we were there. Always checking on us if we needed something. I watched her as she made her round and she gave the same service to every table that I watched her at. The food was brought out in a very timely manner and was it still hot and very good. We both had the crawfish poor boys. They were perfectly made. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience there was very friendly and sort of noisy. However, this is the kind of restaurant that it is. There's people from all over, talking about this that the other, so you overhear each other's conversations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Again, the food was outstanding and very good. However, the bright spot was the young lady Mattie that insured our moment in the restaurant were very good. Thank you Mattie for a wonderful lunch experience. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Delightful casual family friendly cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Attentive staff you order as you enter and then pick a table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]indoor and outdoor seating. Play yard for the kids[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Plenty of parking. Hubby ordered the BBLT - yes that much terrific bacon! I ordered Chicken Fried Steak with gravy on the side. it was decent but not memorable. Vegetables were perfect, not overcooked. Daughter loved her chicken sandwich and granddaughter gobbled up her fries and chicken nuggets. We had fountain drinks, lemonade and tea. Next time I will go for the Butterfinger shake - they looked fabulous! read more

Visited the branch for Father's Day with family and it was incredible. The staff/management is always so incredibly friendly! Daniel, one of the managers always greets us with such great hospitality and kindness. The staff always takes care of us and very attentive. The food never disappoints from the wings and burgers to chicken fried chicken or even the salmon. Lots of fantastic options to choose from. If you're ever passing by. It's always worth stopping by! read more

I was passing through on the way home and recalled seeing this restaurant featured on Good Eats with Tanji. I was craving homestyle food and opted for the chicken tender basket. This was not your typical basket but rather homemade chicken tenders in a delicious breading. It was fresh, juicy, filled with flavor and plentiful. The ultra skinny shoestring fries were also good - well seasoned and perfect crisp. I topped it off with a butterfinger shake! It was delicious and the right balance of butterfinger chunks within. The service was excellent too. I went around lunch time and the restaurant was full but with no long wait. Thanks Tanji for this restaurant. It was a great find with delicious food! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The Branch is a Bulverde Food hotspot that is always busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They pump food out of the kitchen quickly and it is cafeteria style ordering. Karen was our server and was a new server who did a great job. Food did not come out all at once and we did have to inquire about a dinner salad and a loaded potato but Karen immediately went to the kitchen and brought items out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Branch has more of a bar feel than restaurant and am sure it is the place to stop after high school athletics but beware kitchen closes during the week at 8:30 which surprised me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We would have gotten a few deserts as the apple crisp looked off the chain but would have had to order when we still hadn't gotten meals. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of space but it loud do to a lot of fans that come here to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is a restaurant with a large menu and very similar (same owners?) as Willies in San Antonio. We had chopped salads with chicken (excellent), the fried catfish, mac and cheese and enjoyed all of it. They take your order at front just like Willies. Prices were fair and reasonable. Service is fast and they are great about refills. Lots of food options for everyone. read more

Well popular is an understatement, this place is always packed, but they do a good job of moving everyone through the ordering line and getting tables set up. So the crowd moves quickly. The staff is super nice. Our food was tasty and timely, especially for a busy Saturday night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is also a playground out back. So if you have kiddos, it is great for them to play while you wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone enjoyed their food. And when there is a hiccup the staff is quick to fix it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall a great family place, fun with friends or a low key date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Fair food. Terrible service. It was not busy enough for us to have waited 30-40 minutes for 3 burgers, Nice area that it sits in.

My daughter invited me to lunch with her and her husband at the Branch. I have never been here before and they know I like trying new restaurants. My daughter and I ordered the small fried catfish plate. The catfish was lightly breaded and inside that fried goodness was flakey white meat, served on a generous portion of thinly cut French fries. The fried catfish and fries were delicious. My son in law had the chicken fried chicken and said it was very tasty although he felt the breading on the chicken was a little thin. Our server was great, she checked on us regularly to make sure there was nothing we needed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As far as the ambiance well, if you like Willies Ice House you'll love this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Branch is much larger on the inside than it appears on the outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back here again. read more

This place is poppin!! If you've been to fuddruckers or beefy's backyard it has that same kind of vibe, very family friendly they have a playground set in the back outside. I split the full rack of ribs and it was the perfect amount, let me tell you these ribs were so delicious but they were literally falling off the bone. I'd go back here again just for the ribs. When you enter you order at the counter and then the food is brought to your table, tables are open seating so sit wherever you want. I didn't know this because if you get a soft drink when you order your food they let you fill it up yourself, but when you sit down at the table you need to let the servers fill the drinks up for you lol. That part was not communicated very well whoops. read more

I didn't go in to pick up our order, my son did, but DELICIOUS hamburgers for the best price around!!

More like 3.5 for me. First time to try this place. Parking in front is limited. You have to park in back amongst other businesses shared parking area. You walk up to counter and place your order and then a server will seat you. Staff were friendly. I ordered the Mahi Mahi but it was overdone and did not taste fresh. The sauce was good. My wife had chicken fried steak and said it was good and a friend that was with us had the salmon and said it was good. Only saw a server one time to refill our drinks the time we were there. We would like to try it again but I will probably try a burger or Poor Boy. read more

We had lunch here this week . The service was horrendous. The chicken we had was dried out over cooked and not up to their usual standard. They are using a different chicken breast. Smaller , thinner and much less flavor . They up charged us for subbing in a side salad for fries. We have been steady customers for 5 years and after this 40 dollar debacle not coming back. read more

Service was excellent and the food was very tasty. Draft beer was nice and cold, the way it should be. Servers were friendly and personable.

We headed to @thebranchsbtx for dinner tonight. It's a popular spot with many people there for dinner too. Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had a Frozen Margarita, and I had the Margarita called White Lightning. We tried the Coconut Shrimp with shoestring fries and it's fabulous. Loved the marmalade sauce! Hubby had a salad with his Catfish/Shrimp Combo. Dad and I shared the Full Rack of Ribs with mashed potatoes and sweet potato wedges. Definitely more food than we could finish. read more

My experience with The Branch is iffy. I've been here a few times and not necessarily had a bad experience but not amazing. It's very reliable, [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff is nice, Service is quick, Cool environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I haven't had a lot of their menu items but the ones I have had are good. But kinda feels like it's missing something, But would recommend! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the atmosphere - especially outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great food with full bar. Looks like you order at the bar, but we just placed our drink order there and appetizers.

This place is so cute! Made a stop here on a really chilly day. You order at the front and then get sat down. The waitress comes to you. The chicken sandwich i got was perfect! Fries were great, service was outstanding. Such a Cozy cute spot! I will definitely be back! read more

We go here pretty often because we don't have a lot of decent restaurant choices in Bulverde/Spring Branch. The food is good and the margaritas are too. My kid loves the strawberry milkshakes. I usually get the blackened salmon and it's always very good. But the steaks, catfish, shrimp, and burgers are also good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun to sit out on the back patio and let the kids play.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although, our daughter is nearly 13 now so we don't utilize the playground anymore.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But still fun to sit out there and remember the days when she still thought we were cool. read more

The food might not be 5-star but the service certainly was! We stopped by to pick up food. Tome was very helpful as was a couple of Branch Neighborhood Grill regulars. We ordered and were offered complimentary soft drinks because we were waiting. Our order (10oz Sirloin, Blackened Chicken Sandwich and Deep-fried shrimp were prepped in 10 minutes!!! Great service as far as I'm concerned. Took the order home and everyone was wholly satisfied. The chicken sandwich really tasty ... great flavor. Very satisfying meal and splendid service. read more

Came in with a group of three people. The Branch is a cute neighborhood spot with a chill vibe. Upon entering there's a small queue that leads to the cash registers with the menu above on the back wall. Orders are taken there and you seat yourself and before too long a server will come around and double check your order to ensure it's all correct. We like and have ordered the chopped salad with balsamic vinaigrette a couple of times and the chicken tenders are juicy and flavorful, so yummy. Service is usually pretty good, we try to avoid the more popular times, lol! If you haven't been here you need to go! Great family fun and food. Pro tip, bring the kids there's a fun playground on the premises. read more

My Husband & I frequent The Branch often with our family but today i must say was hands down the BEST service experience we have EVER had!! We are both in wheelchairs and although the restaurant was at peak 6pm dinner hour the manager Aiden immediately tended to us and brought out the portable ramp. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We requested an outdoor table so we could keep an eye on our God daughter as she played in their incredible playground area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After getting us situated outside with our families Amber came and got our orders and put everything in for us. Amber was so very attentive even though it was a very busy and extremely windy evening. When our salads came out it was so so windy several of us had to make trips back to our cars for jackets and Amber immediately noticed that the weather was not going to make this dinner enjoyable able for us. Amber promptly told manager Aiden and before we knew it they had a brand new table top for 7 all set up for us indoors. Not only was the food spot on as usual but service was top quality i've ever had!!! Thank You Aiden and Amber yall rock!!! read more

This restaurant seems to be identical to Willie's Icehouse just so you can have an idea what type of restaurant it is. It has so much seating and an outdoor patio with a playground (fenced in) for the kids. I gave them a four star rating because this is just my first visit. However, I would give them 5 Stars for their Grilled Salmon. I think it was the best salmon I ever had! So WW friendly because of the salmon and also the veggies which I also loved. It was served over seasoned rice which was also good. Our waitress was Laura C. and she did a great job and was so friendly!! read more

Loved this restaurant! It reminded me of Willies in SA. You walk up and place your order as you go in then sit wherever you'd like. It had indoor seating as well as an outdoor patio with a playground for the kids. We ordered the catfish/shrimp plate and the 1/2 pound of shrimp. It was the perfect portion and everything tasted great! I signed up for the rewards and received a free appetizer on the spot through email. We ordered the fried pickles. All the staff were friendly. Prices were very reasonable. So glad we came across this spot when in the area. read more

Personal size pizzas, and all their sandwiches are very good. They also have fudge! You can phone in an order and they're happy to oblige!

From the top! When you pull into the parking lot, the line is out the door. DO NOT FREAK OUT! It actually moves fast and is definitely worth it. Before you're even seated, you pre-order the food for your entire group, which is actually awesome. Don't worry about wanting more drinks later, because the server will definitely add them to your bill when you request one. Anyway, you place your order, then you're seated at a table, where you hand the slip to the server and they go send it to the kitchen for you. No more worries about orders being wrong or someone in the party taking ten thousand years to decide while everyone else is starving! Our server for the night was Trina and she was PHENOMENAL! Absolutely wonderful service from start to finish, and she's a complete sweetheart! The food was amazing, the service was wonderful, and it was very family-friendly. The hubby and I came with the baby this time, but we will definitely come back with the big kids so they can play on the playground while we watch the game on one of the TVs. It's so clean and friendly! We had the coconut shrimp appetizer, the mahi Milano, and baby back ribs, but we are definitely coming back soon to try the calamari, chicken fried steak, and sangrita! I need to figure out what the frozen white drink was that everyone was drinking. That seemed to be a super popular drink choice. I guess we will know soon enough! Thanks for the wonderful night! We will ABSOLUTELY be back! read more
