It is not quite Jamaica, but the food certainly speaks of that island! We indulged in Pain Killers with the conch critters, followed by the goat curry and the fried chicken sandwich and a side of plantains. We got a complimentary cup of the beef and pumpkin soup which was perfect for such a cold day.

Ian does a wonderful job with the Island flavor. The side dishes of soups and Jerked Chicken were flavorful and the service was excellent.
Small and cozy, the atmosphere is simple and comfortable.

The idea of Jamaican food on the Cape sounded unusual and fabulous to us. We stopped in in the mid afternoon to take a peek at the restaurant, met delightful owner/chef Ian, snacked on a beef patty, and vowed to come back later for dinner, having already discussed with Ian what we would eat. We returned at 5, and sat at the bar, where we were very well cared for by Branches’ wonderful bartender, Colleen (we each had a glass of Ian’s tasty Jamaican rum punch). Our meal started with a cup of outstanding beef & pumpkin soup, and was followed by a tasty conch fritter appetizer. Our main meals, the jerk chicken and steamed fish (red snapper) were flavorful, plentiful — absolutely scrumptious! We can’t wait to come back here, what a find!

Lunch at Branches, Chatham, MA
We stopped into Branches in Chatham for lunch and were warmly welcomed by its cozy, Caribbean-American charm. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting — ideal for a leisurely midday meal.
We began with a beef and pumpkin soup, rich and satisfying, followed by a round of rum punch that was fruity, festive, and well-balanced. For our main course, we shared buffalo wings and a pulled pork sandwich, served with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. The wings were bold and tangy, the pork tender and flavorful, and the sides complemented everything with crunch and sweetness.
Overall: A flavorful, laid-back lunch in a charming setting. Branches delivers bold tastes and cozy vibes — a great spot to share and savor.

Charming local place offering Caribbean fare, which a nice change of pace. Party of 4 all enjoyed our meals (curry shrimp special, salmon, jerk chicken, curry chicken), along with a variety of beers (nice selection offered). Super friendly service. We'll be back!

Cool, laid back atmosphere, food cooked to order, flavorful, not too spicy (hot), umbrella drinks were yummy! Everything was enjoyable and well priced, I'd go again

Amazing food, sweet staff. We got the curried goat, the oxtail and the jerk chicken and it was all amazing. We even got to try the pumpkin beef soup that was a great, warm start. Truly the best curried goat i’ve had, and the best fried plantains! I typically dont love them, but here they were amazing.
