    The Brussel sprouts are the best of any restaurant. My husband would say the same about the giant pretzel. That’s where the praise stops. It took 30 min to get our drinks- a Coke and a cosmo. That’s a low estimate. There was no offer of specials, the waitress did not know the price of market price items. A table nearby got up and left because service was so poor. Such a shame. It has potential, but shows no sign of even trying to be a success.

    Great steaks. Great drinks. But staff really needs improvement. Food delivered to wrong tables, and very harried wait staff trying to keep up. Servers need training - and more training.

    We have been to this location a few times over the past few years. It has been on a steady decline. This restaurant tries to walk the line between medium-fancy dining and a sports bar. We were seated in the dining room and from my vantage point I could see a big TV with the basketball game on. It was very noisy throughout the restaurant; they could benefit from installing sound-absorbing panels on the ceiling like I have seen in other establishments. Adding to those annoyances, our table was wobbly. I ordered the chicken with au gratin potatoes and when the potatoes came out, they were sliced thin in a bechamel sauce with cheese sprinkled on top. The cheese was barely melted and the potatoes looked barely cooked. My son ordered spare ribs with mac and cheese - the spare ribs were dry and the mac and cheese looked like it came from a TV dinner. Long story short, the food was passable but not up to par for the price. Add that to the annoying ambience and we decided we won't be back.

    The starter (Trio dip) was very good, the scallops were so-so, my wife had the hanger steak which came out under done but they fixed it for her. Ava our server was very pleasant and attentive, we will be back in the future.

    Food was poor. Bad, actually. But staff understood, and accommodated. Wine was great, atmosphere was lovely but dinner, overall, was weak.

    We went for the Easter buffet and were not disappointed! Often times buffets are semi yummy cheap food sitting forever in overheated buffet chafing dishes…..not so at Branchwater. Everything was a good temp, and the same quality and taste I have come to know and love at Branchwater. The carving station was the yummiest! The Mac and cheese? Best I ever had. I literally had to restrain myself from running up there and getting a whole new plate of it! 🤣. Mothers Day is coming up Branchwater and I will be waiting!!!

    Really good food but the service was outstanding! Abdul was such a personable, attentive, and engaging waiter. He definitely made the evening feel first class for all he served !
