South Branch

Visited for a business lunch and was very impressed. Quick service, delicious food and quiet atmosphere for a downtown restaurant. Would definitely like to visit again!

Very noisy.

This is a very convenient location to the office. My boss usually makes it his first or second choice when he needs a reservation.

I wish I had gotten my waiter’s name because his service was excellent! I had a client that was very picky and spoke very softly. The waiter was patient and helpful.

Our service was not good. Had to wait for everything and the order was wrong once

Good for business lunches... We had a chopped salad and the beef stroganoff special which were both good.

Good times!

Lively bar scene. Well prepared menu especially skirt steak. Responsive service.

Waiter was slow. We spent way too much time for a weekday lunch. Food was good.

Keep up the good work!!

Very good food and drinks. Our server Justin was excellent.

Get Buffalo Rolls, you won't regret it.

Everything was very good - service, food, etc. I would recommend this place for lunch.

No table available for 30 minutes despite reservation. Say at bar. Host was no help.

Good food and very attentive and friendly wait staff. Great value for your money.

Very noisy at dinner. Food good. Service excellent.

Service was terrific. The chicken schnitzel sandwich special was dry, but maybe that’s how breaded chicken on a kaiser roll tastes. We had a great experience.

We liked that you have expanded the menu. I was personally impressed that you had five decaffeinated teas; you won me over with that alone. Servers and hosts are very good, as usual. Noise level is a bit overwhelming at times which can be a bit much if one wants to relax after work. However, all in all very good. We will be back.

Food and service were excellent!! We went for a business lunch and it was overall a great experience, just a little too noisy.

Planned on sitting outside although it was raining so sat inside. VERY loud and hard to hear conversation. Food - lobster on lobster roll like rubber. Had to ASK for bread and then it came AFTER we started eating our meal. Pricey for the amount of food. Waitress seemed like she didn't want to be there.

I have been to South Branch many times and it is usually a very good experience, however, yesterday it was not. A few of us took one of our coworkers out to lunch on her first day back after her father passed away, we had a reservation and requested a table outside if possible, when we arrived I asked for a booth that was not in the direct sun, and I noticed that there were some available, we were placed at a table with no umbrella in the direct sun. So we sat for a while before it became very uncomfortable, I went inside and asked our waiter if we could move as I saw several other tables outside that were not in the direct sun, the waitress that was standing with him rolled her eyes at me. He told me he would come and talk to me in a minute so I went back to our table in the sun. The hostess came out and seated us at a booth that we should have been seated at in the first place. Keep in mind when I talked to the waiter I asked if we could move but told him I was concerned about screwing him out of the table and hoping we could stay in his section. We were patient, courteous and appreciative and the waiter never once smiled or was in any way personable. We waited quite a long time for our food and were told that the server had a hard time finding us because we moved tables. Regarding the food, the salad that I always get was at best mediocre. It just wasn't a good experience over all, the waiter never smiled throughout the entire visit, we were kind and courteous and never unpleasant. Sorry to have to write this review, but I was really disappointed, especially because we were trying to cheer somebody up; and it was not a cheerful visit to South Branch at all.

Great venue with open feeling. Nice large booths. Food is excellent. Nice menu

Outdoor seating under an umbrella in a nice sunny day was fabulous. Impossible burger was excellent for those looking to go meatless

We had an Amtrak layover. Went here for lunch. Arrived a few minutes before opening time. At opening, we were seated. Had a very polite, unobtrusive waitress; good food...a win win!

Long wait for seating. Staff was generally glum faced and looked unhappy. Overall very disappointing.

Make sure Christa (Krista) is your server! She’s the best!!!

Very enjoyable. We sat in the patio!

Excellent vantage point to look at the river while eating. Tried the Impossible Burger and it was really good. Looked and had the consistency of a turkey burger rather than a beef burger. Asparagus were grilled well. Not overly expensive for a downtown lunch restaurant.

Good. Food was great!

Outside dinning was pretty but service was very slow, had a reservation for 7:30 and was not served food until at least 8:10 and didn’t get the bill for two entires and an appetizer until 9:10

Too loud to hold conversation without feeling like we were shouting.

The food and drinks were delicious! Justin is a great server and very knowledgeable about the cocktails and beers offered. We will be back.

Great food and atmosphere, conducive for a business discussion.

Service was the bright spot - fast and accurate. They’ve changed their ahi tuna tacos - soft flour tortillas:-( and the tuna was different. The wasabi sauce was not great. Had a stomachache afterwards. The clam chowder was ok - not Boston great, but fair. The price was high, but it is Chicago.

Great food and service

Food was a little overpriced for the quality

Love the atmosphere,foods, drink service. Definitely recommend

The food was absolutely great!! But the server seemed to care-less about us, compared to what was on the tv.

The food was great, the service was outstanding and the atmospere for a business meeting was perfect.
