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 continues to be our favorite restaurant in greater Boston. The food is wonderful, the service is excellent, and most importantly the staff makes you feel welcomed and valued. Special shout-outs to server Phil, sommelier extraordinaire Sean, and general Nestor.

    Could use more servers. Service was slow. Food was good. Dessert delicious. The area where the initial table was assigned to us, really freezing temperature

    My husband and I chose to eat at Branch Line, because it was conveniently located near The Mosesian Center for the Arts, where we were seeing a concert. We loved it! The service was fabulous, and the the food was delicisious. We were happy with the menu choices. It was difficult to choose between the items. We can't wait to go back!
