Branchwater

"The steaks have always been good, sides - hit or miss (green beans were very undercooked tonight). The new non-cash adjustment fee is off-putting. Just bake the 3% CC fee into your prices like everyone else does. Waitress forgot my drink, then asked if I still wanted it after my dinner was nearly done. Came two weeks in a row, and I was happy that there was not a live-band there tonight otherwise don't count on a dinner conversation. Tab was just shy of $300 (with tip) for 2 adults, our daughter, and one take-out entree so I expect better. I'm hoping things improve, as I live about 4 minutes down the road and would like to keep bringing my family here."

"This past Friday we had an Irish style wake with our friends and family for the passing of my husband. If you have ever considered Branchwater for an event, you will not be disappointed. Jackie's level of care and attention to detail before and during the event were amazing. Shawn was an incredible bar tender throughout the entire evening. I feel terrible I cannot remember the name of the other guy but we were calling him Conan because he was funny. The food was amazing and the drinks were flowing. We were able to be with our friends and family while enjoying stories shared about my husband without worrying about the level of service. All our needs were met and exceeded. I feel like at times Jackie even anticipated my needs and took care of things before I noticed. Branchwater will always have a special place in my heart. Forever. Thank you!"

"My blackened grouper with grits was good but my wife's pork chop was wonderful. Oh, and I shouldn't forget the creme brulee - amazing! The music was a little loud for such a quiet night but otherwise the ambiance was great. Our server was pleasant, didn't rush us (we had some extra time), and took care of everything we needed."

"Casual shopping center restaurant with high end flavors. We arrived early for dinner on a Friday. The house salad was good with great dressing. Scallops and risotto were delicious. The scallops were fresh. Slightly over seasoned. But delicious nonetheless. The pork chop with seasoned lightly with great flavor and a nice sear. The mashed sweet potatoes were the star of the show. Just a hint of sweetness added and very creamy. The only downside to the entire experience was that the staff were extremely loud. Lots of laughing and joking going on. It's great that they were having fun but they were obnoxiously loud. We were near the front of the restaurant and they were louder than the blaring music."

"Super short review: AMAZING food, disappointing ambiance, mediocre service, definitely overpriced for what you get. Full review: This place is fantastic but there are a couple of areas where it can be improved. First of all the food is incredible and does not have much room for improvement so if all you care about is loving what you eat, then this is a five star place. Get the shrimp & grits or the braised beef plates (I've had both). You won't be disappointed! However, if the overall experience matters, then I would call it more of a 3.5 or so. I sat on the back porch area with my wife and honestly it felt like a whole different restaurant. The front porch has a nice view and wooden tables (maybe?) covered with tablecloths and flatware/linen rolls while the back has wire framed metal tables and no tablecloths or utensils and you kinda feel exiled. Like I said, it was like a whole different experience. The service wasn't bad but it wasn't "outstanding". The selection was pretty small but that actually makes it easier to decide what to order, for some people. Parking lot was absolutely STUPIDLY crowded for a dinky town like this. The facility here is far too overpopulated. Bottom line = I recommend it but there are probably better things you could do with that money. Nice date place but there are lots of other, probably better, nice date places nearby."
