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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
This is clearly a local favorite. Ian the chef greeted me and everyone was so friendly to me and my family. Food was absolutely delicious. Kid-friendliness: Everyone was super relaxed and kind to my inquisitive kids Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Food: 5
This place definitely caters to the locals. If you are not a local, I would not recommend it. Slow service for us, while I witnessed speedy service to others. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2
