    Service was great! Food was fine. A mix between diner type food and bar type food. Not what we were hoping for.

    Table was so narrow that our dinner plates touched in the middle but still went over the edge. Narrow awkward booth. Server was polite and prompt but we had to ask for water and also had to request a steak knife after my steak was served. Food tasted great but my plate was barely warm where my husbands was very hot. Our reservation was at 5:30 and the place was not busy. I expect a $45 steak to come out hot. Brussel sprout appetizer and salads were both excellent. Love the food here but the service does not meet the quality of the food.

    The pork chop was phenomenal! The teriyaki pineapple burger was just OK; the teriyaki sauce was unique, but not a fan. The scallops were a bit smaller than expected, and not very flavorful. Appetizers were a huge hit, drinks were phenomenal, dinner rolls exceptional and desserts were delicious! We’ll definitely be back!

    We like to go there for special occasions. Our server so-so. Husband thought she had an attitude. She’d disappear. Young man that brought our food much bigger help then she. We watched him the whole time. He was hustling and visible. Brussels sprouts very good.I had the pork chop and husband had steak. Both excellent! Best thing about the meal. Veggies so-so. Salad poor…asked for ranch dressing, haven’t a clue what it was. Husband’s lemon pound cake excellent, crème brûlée so-so. Considering the cost, not real happy. Will be looking for somewhere else for special occasion dining. Glad we didn’t have guests with us.

    This would have been a 5 star review had it not been for one of the waitresses putting a soiled towel on top of a place setting that was just used to wipe the floor of spilled water. If we were still there when the party arrived I think I would have told them to ask for a clean setting. Otherwise the food, braised beef short ribs was outstanding. The chicken wings were delicious too. I hope mgmt talks to their staff and makes sure they do not repeat such an action again because we would like to go back but may be hesitant.

    Seated next to a large table. A lot of screaming and shouting. Asked to be moved, but request denied. We had reservations. Manager unapologetic for loud table behavior. It’s all about the money.

    The hanger steak we ordered was over cooked making it a little chewy. It was ordered medium but came out well done. The flavor was great and my wife ordered the scallops which were excellent. Service was great.

    Branchwater is always a delight. My husband and I both loved our entrees so much… we ended up just sharing both our meals. We had the meatball special and the pork chop. Delicious is an understatement! Our server Hailey told us all about the wines that are off menu and helped us make a decision. We ended the evening with espresso martinis at the bar with Hannah and Angel because we didn’t want the night to end. Will be back! Management checked on us a few times! She was awesome. Great staff!

    Had a reservation but they didn’t have a table like we requested. No big deal! They take us to a different table, it’s got to be 85 degrees in that room. They were kind and understanding when I mentioned the heat. They re-sat us. The server was ok, kind yet didn’t really check for drink refills. I opted for the porterhouse special, rare. When the food came out, it was probably medium well. I couldn’t really find any pink in my rare steak. Again, they were kind to correct this and get a new steak. When the correct temperature steak came out it was ok. Honestly I’ve had better at Outback for $20 less. Perhaps we just picked the wrong day and ordered the wrong thing. I doubt we will return.

    Was suggested by a family to go. The service was excellent, the food left more to be desired. I don’t believe the filet had be marinated/seasoned with any thing. Came out charred and that’s what it tasted like. Also had the braised beef ribs. Tasted like pot roast. The place was nice, but the price point didn’t match the taste expected. Could of gone to Texas Roadhouse for a much better steak and price.

    A very disappointing experience began with poor service and ended with tiny desserts arriving way too long after ordering. To make matters worse apparently the freezer was broken but we weren’t told that until after delivery. And to top it all off the manager couldn’t seem to find time to come by and acknowledge our concerns either. Won’t be heading back any time soon

    Two couples enjoy a monthly meal together, so we can catch up with one another and maintain a valued friendship. We will certainly return to Branchwater at Vickery Village. The Grouper Sandwich was near perfect. Calamari appetizer was enough to satisfy all four of us. Drinks were the right balance of mixer to alcohol. We rounded out the night with red wine and pecan pie to share.

    Overall, the food was very good. We especially like the Cajun eggrolls. My husband's steak was just a bit undercooked, but was still good. When I made the reservation, I indicated that it was our anniversary, but nobody mentioned it while we were there. I do think we will go back.

    Arrived a few minutes early and was seated after just a few minutes at the vacant host desk. Both hosts were friendly and busy cleaning tables and working. We were seated with a smile and an apology for our wait then our water glasses were filled. One of my wife’s forks had a noticeably bent tine that jutted out so we set aside. One of mine had a hard crusted bit of food on it and was also avoided. We waited to be served for about 15 minutes before I waved to the same host and asked if we had a server for the evening. She apologized and a few minutes later we were greeted by Corbin. He was very pleasant and charming. We ordered everything immediately for our courses and he was great about keeping us informed on things every step of the way. The deviled eggs were delicious despite the micro arugula bc yellowing beneath them which was a bit of a turnoff. The calamari was hot and crispy. My filet was perfect and the green beans and potatoes were very tasty. Her salad and crispy bacon-Brussels sprouts were very good. I found the sprouts too sweet for my taste due to the sticky Yum-Tum style sauce they were tossed in. Corbin checked on us throughout the meal and brought then closed our check promptly. Altogether a pretty good experience in spite of the slow start.

    This was our first visit here, and we really enjoyed everything. The food was very tasty (calamari, wings, Caesar salad, salmon, fried shrimp, and pork chops), and the servings were generous. We encountered a small issue of not receiving the sides that we ordered, but our server (by offering to bring us what we originally ordered, if we wanted) and the Manager (by stopping by to ensure that we were satisfied) made it right by us.
