Branch Cantina

Not a lot of dinner choices, but the margs f’d me up

Branch Cantina was a great experience and their happy hour menu was good!

The hostess was super sweet and helpful. She even came back to ask how everything was. The guacamole was amazing but everything else was poor quality. I ordered chipotle chicken tacos and first bite I got a bone. I then tried my other taco and bit into fat. Upon further inspection I realized it was really low quality fatty dark meat. I asked if the other chicken dishes were all the same and they said yes they use the same chicken so I just ate guacamole and chips all night. The churros were good but the chocolate was really bitter and not in a dark chocolate bitter way. Our waitress was nice but she didn’t come over as much as I would’ve liked since we were drinking and dining. It was ok but I wouldn’t eat there again.

Great food! Great service! Love it! Will be back

Super location very good food very pleassant staff.
I will be back there soon.

Great food, drinks, service and views. Would recommend

Food was delicious.. margaritas even better! This is a great spot for families or a group of friends. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the restaurant is clean.

Great food and margaritas. Tacos were great too.

Kids loved the churros!

Food very good. Drinks freshly made from all fresh ingredients - no mixes.
Staff courteous and very accommodating.
Location the best - amazing views right across from the ocean. Parking convenient - right next to restaurant.

My first time here. Fajitas were good. Fish Tacos and Queso was ok. Margaritas excellent!

The food and ambiance were amazing. Second time dining here and can’t wait to come back!

Why was this not eligible for points. I always use open table

First time here. Margaritas were A+! Guacamole and chips and salsa were great! I will be back!

Being outside by the ocean makes this a perfect place to eat. Drinks are fun and tasty . Servers were very friendly .

This is a relatively new place that is on the Long Branch boardwalk. It's really nice, clean and colorful with a great view of the ocean ahead. The food and cocktails are really good, however the service was slow maybe because they are new and need more staff.

I asked for certain condiments and I only received 1 of them. My husband and I both ordered tacos I had the shrimp tacos. My taco shells were smaller than his not sure why.

The restaurant wasn’t overly crowded, but we waited a very long time for our entrees to arrive. When they were finally delivered, they still hadn’t cleared our app dishes. The same thing happened with dessert. At the time they brought dessert to our table, they had to clear away our dinner dishes. We had to ask numerous times for water and take-home boxes.

Great stop during Jersey Shore restaurant week!! Mexican food remarkably good.

I was very disappointed we ate outside which was fine( it was a little chill). We ordered jalapeño margaritas there was no jalapeño ‘s in the drinks. Kind of defeats the purpose.
We had to ask for chips and salsa, and when we finished the salsa we had to ask for it like 3-4 times. We ordered from the restaurant week menu. We ordered the guacamole it was such a small serving ! RIDICULOUS
Then my friend & I ordered the Freitas . Again, no beans, no rice, I asked for no Green peppers. I got nothing but onions & shrimp. Nothing sizzling just plain & bland!
My husband got the garlic shrimp tacos, just 3 Tacos. Again no sides Just totally disappointed. I really wanted to like this place!!

First time visit and I will go back.
Service was prompt & friendly.
Food was good & well prepared.
Since it was Restaurant week, one is never sure if portions are reduced. Appetizer of tuna ceviche seemed like it was small, but tasty.

Have been here three times previous and always enjoyed it, this time not the case, how does a Mexican Restaurant not have any cheese for their Quesadilla's, and why does it take half hour after ordering to tell us? They also had no red sangria, only white , they have several restaurants in the hotel yet couldn't get a few bottles of cheap red wine to prepare it ? Several other items on menu not available as well, service took forever on all items, both food and beverage. Waitress poured us water and ran out half way through the table when we first arrived, after 15 minutes we tracked her down as she never returned. We were told we had a 90 minute maximum at the table but they could not even get us served in that time, and we didn't even have apps or desserts! Zero Management in sight at the restaurant and it really showed. I could go on as there were numerous other issues , but I don't want to bash them, steak fajitas are very tasty and they have some nice signature cocktails but really was a bad experience. Luckily my guests found their ineptitude quite amusing, saved me the embarrassment of having to apologize, which by the way no one in the restaurant bothered to do either.

Super place ! we go often and the service, environment and food (& drinks) remains consistently good!

Great menu selection, well-priced, fresh food, good margaritas!!

Went for taco Tuesday with friends but service was not there. Had to keep getting up to ask for water/drinks/food

Love this place. We live at 55 Melrose Terrace and come here almost weekly

Delicious Mexican in a beautiful beach location.

The manager came & introduced himself to us. He told us about all the restaurants in the hotel. He made us a reservation for the sister restaurant (100 Ocean) for the following night. He cane to say hello to us the next night as well. What a great way to run a business. They gained regular customers. The good is great & the people are kind.

Wonderful experience, food, and service. Thanks so much

Our server Jess was the most amazing waitress!! Love her and need her schedule to come back so she can always have our table!!!

This place serves delicious Mexican food and tasty Margaritas with an amazing view of the ocean. We started with fresh, hot chips and guacamole. We shared several dishes including shrimp tacos with red onion, steak fajitas and crispy fish tacos. A plate of churros that melted in our mouths was a nice finish to a great meal. Our server, Lauren, was friendly and attentive- always with a smile. The manager, David, was very helpful with our questions about the menu and checked on us to make sure everything was great- and it was! Highly recommend!

Great location. Food and service were excellent.

This place totally surprised me, my son and I decided to give it a try and so glad we did. Food was delicious, we ate there for lunch and decided to go next day for dinner.

We were there twice for lunch over a four day mini vacation
Food was excellent
Service was very good
Tables, silverware etc. were all very clean
I would highly recommend Branch Cantina and we will certainly be back again

We have been wanting to visit for a couple of months but wth outdoor dining restrictions it was difficult to get in, that’s actually a good thing for the restaurant and now that we were able to go, we definitely see why it’s popular! Service was fantastic and friendly, view was great, the margaritas are on point and the food was fresh and delicious! Had Fish Tacos and a Chipotle Chick Bowl- both amazing. The chips and Guaq were fantastic! Definitely our new favorite place!

Jess our waitress was great, great food, good view. Good drinks!!

amazing service and food!!!

Food was pre-prepared and cold.

Service was terrible. Drinks came half through are appetizers and entree showed up before we were done with the apps.

Food was really great.
Only issue was timing for courses. The entrees arrived too quickly after our apps came just a couple of minutes earlier.
Otherwise, a very good experience.

First visit and won't be the last. Food, service, and cocktails were excellent.
