So I walk in and the staff sees me and asks with an attitude can she help me, like I had gotten on her last nerve by walking in. Everyone is entitled to a bad day, I was having a not so great one myself. I am seated in a weird booth where another couple is facing me, like it is our own private VIP section. I also am not in the line of the cameras. I ignore the gut check. I am learning not to do that by what followed... A different server comes over. I tell her I need a minute to order. I make my selection she comes back bringing me water. I also ask for an orange juice, a tuna melt on gluten free bread, and am told they have gluten free pancakes, though not on the menu, so I get an order of that with hash. GF Pancakes: Real syrup too. Nice and fluffy. Verdict: EAT THIS. Tuna Melt: Sad and flavorless. I needed the calories, so I still ate it. The coleslaw was nice though, and still crunchy that came with it. I had to spit out my pickle though. Verdict: SKIP Corn beef hash: My first bite was lovely. The second was like a salt lick from hell. I didn't eat anymore and asked them to refund it. I almost swear my plate was swapped out because it got cold super quickly too. Did they mix old stuff with new and that is why it was super salty? Since I literally only had two bites they refunded this, which I appreciated. Verdict: MAKE SURE IT IS MAFE FRESH. Okay. Orange Juice: WAS NOT ORANGE JUICE. I don't know what the hell it was but it had a similar color though milky looking. Sent this back as well for a refund. Verdict: SKIP. Verdict: EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. One dish out of 3 was good. Not great odds.

I’m writing this review in context of my wedding, but I’ll preface that I’ve come here many times prior to choosing it as the special spot for our big day. I’ll speak on the food part first so folks can benefit from that strictly on food/ambiance. Food: extremely accommodating BOH team. We love going for brunch (chicken and waffles and chicken banh mi are both sooo good), and they now have tacos on Mondays that are killer. Great cocktails, but the thing that I think about all the time is the creme brûlée and pot de creme desserts they have. Insane. I will say that I don’t feel like their menu changes all that often, and sometimes it would be nice to see a few new things. But on the whole, their staples are great. Oh, the crab cakes are also delightful! Ambiance: Ambiance wise, I like both indoor and outdoor options (though the last few times I ate outside in summer, there were a lot of wasps that wouldn’t leave us alone). Not a deal breaker and just the general con of eating outdoors. The inside is lovely and can feel a bit more intimate with the bench seating. Music is never too loud. They also have a covered patio with heaters so it’s nice to eat outside even on chillier nights. Parking is plentiful bc there’s a lot you can use that’s free, and honestly there isn’t much wait when I’ve gone bc it’s a bit off the beaten path. Choice as a wedding venue: probably unlikely that you’re reading this review for a wedding but in case you are...this location and the team is INCREDIBLE. Restaurants are SO UNDERRATED when it comes to weddings and I don’t understand why. 1. The food we knew was going to be awesome, but it was extra incredible bc the chefs worked with us consistently to make our ideas come to life. I worked in restaurants and my dad owned a restaurant, so the food part of the wedding was so important to me. It honestly felt like a lot of pressure bc my friends know I love to eat, so everyone was like “well we know your wedding food will be great since you’re a ~foodie~*”. Triggered. My anxiety was through the roof to make this perfect. Luckily, the team at Branch Line did not disappoint me AT ALL. Deena and Teagan kept me honest every step of the way, put my incomprehensible word vomits into concrete ideas & helped parse through panic decisions vs rationale ones. My guests dietary restrictions included gluten free, vegan, allergies, and BL tackled it all. I think I told them I loved them? I still mean it. (In case you’re wondering, my guests STILL rave about the food and it’s been a month. PHEW!). 2. Restaurants just make sense. They execute service FLAWLESSLY. They have the plates and supplies so no extra rental needed. They know the drill, they know their venue space inside and out, and the location perfectly blends indoors and outdoors. Probably the only complaint I’d have (no one has complained to me personally) is that I couldn’t fit everyone in one space. We awkwardly split folks up during the sit down meal, but since my wedding was a brunch wedding without dancing, it honestly didn’t feel that weird. 3. If you have a bit of an unconventional wedding like mine, restaurants are way more accommodating to things that suit your style. For instance, I made it pretty clear to Deena that I didn’t intend on having dedicated dancing. She made me feel at ease and said “no problem, we have corn hole and we can set up other games, or you can connect with these entertainment services I’ve worked with” (we didn’t end up doing that since my fiance and I made a bunch of table activities and iSpy games that people enjoyed). It just felt like I kept hearing “yes, and” instead of “no we don’t allow that”. Additionally, they helped walk me through all the decor changes I could make (it was thorough), and even let me keep some of their flowers on the tables. Overall, the entire Branch Line team really put in so much effort to make my wedding work out, and I am so incredibly thankful for them. If you’re looking for a venue for your special day, I HIGHLY recommend them! *to be clear, I do not claim being a foodie, okay?

Able to accommodate my gluten and dairy allergies seamlessly when ordering online or in person for their burger orders.

I stumbled on this gem after work one night and the staff recommended the breaded gluten free chicken parmigiana and it was absolutely delicious they really do this very well and honestly it’s one of the best I’ve had and will definitely come back when in the area. A wide variety of gluten free options with the various pasta sauces. Highly enjoyed my time here. The beet salad was also good but the start was the entree. Cute and small restaurant so plan ahead or come off hours.

Absolutely fantastic experience. The restaurant is beautifully designed and very friendly staff. It feels like they are inviting you into their home. The food and drinks are incredible. Must try the fig infused old fashion. Very gluten friendly- there are only about 5 items on the menu that were not gluten free.
