About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
Hi Friends!

Branch Line is a neighborhood rotisserie and wood fired grill in the Watertown Arsenal built on a foundation of personalized hospitality.

Featuring a year-round patio. Branch Line offers something for everyone. Twenty taps continuously change and offer a great craft beer selection, while a curated wine list features bottles that are value-driven and also ready for any special occasion.

The Crystal Valley Rotisserie Chicken spins and roasts in sight of nearly every table in the dining room while the fire roars under vegetables, fish, and meat. The "Little Chicken" menu is great for kids, too!

    We had a great evening at Branch line. The tamarind shrimp, peri peri chicken (the way I’m used to spelling it!) and the asparagus risotto were all excellent—were all very good. The honey gelato wasn’t real gelato (hence the one point deduction). Service was particularly good; best in a long while. Waiter was on top of everything and appropriately attentive. Highly recommend!

    Unique menu. Great service. Love the snap pea salad. The roasted chicken is worth the trip.

    What a great meal at Branch Line! This was my first visit, my companions had dined here before. Very lively with beautiful warehouse-vibe decor. Our server was amazing, charming and attentive. The food was delicious, highly recommend the Crab Louie app, tons of crab. Presentation of all items was spectacular. Only complaint: two of us had the risotto with scallops added—the scallop was chopped into tiny pieces and was most likely only one on each plate. That was disappointing especially for such a class act restaurant. But still yummy.

    Our party included a variety of ages, including two young kids, and a few people with food allergies. The staff was so helpful and pleasant to everyone. The food was delicious as well, and we never felt rushed. Highly recommended!

    We were six adults and one baby. One of the adults was vegetarian. We ordered mostly family style plus some vegetarian dishes. Everything was delicious and the place was very baby friendly. Loved both the piri and dijon chicken, snap pea salad, grilled haloumi and ribs. I look forward to coming back!
