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!

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!

I thought the restaurant was beautiful and the service was great. My food was simply very bland. I will definitely try to give it another shot to be able to say how other things tasted.

Great location, beautiful dining room, excellent attentive service. They seem to be well known for their chicken and I can see why. The chicken and waffles at brunch was delicious - it had a nice spicy kick sure to the garnish of pickled hot chili pepper. The shakshuka was also very good. Be sure to ask for extra bread to wipe up the sauce.
