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!

    This was our second visit to Branch Line & I just emailed other friends to invite them to join me for more! I had four "sides" that even shared between two was more than enough, and each one was uniquely flavorful. Ribollita, miso mushrooms, roasted carrots, and marinated cucumbers - amazing! Can't wait to return.

    The staff seated us outside which was great and unexpected as Open Table indicated that all outdoor seating was not available.

    It's been awhile since I've dined at Branch Line since I moved out of the area, but met an old friend for Sunday lunch and everything was delicious. Our server and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely would recommend this restaurant and I will be back again. Thank you.

    We love this place! The food offerings are classic like rotisserie chicken and unique such as spicy crab bucatini with preserved lemon. The snap pea salad is one of our favorites! Service last night was exceptional!

    Branch Line was fantastic. The food and drinks were delicious, and we loved the outdoor heated tent; we felt like we were sitting outside but without the chilly wind. Our server was very friendly and great with our kids. We would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back!
