You! Are you in a relationship? Are you looking for a great fancy date spot in Armory Yards? Here’s what you’re gonna do. You’re gonna go to Branch Line and you’re going to split a whole chicken with your current or soon to be significant other. Do you have to order the rotisserie chicken at Branch Line? Yes. I didn’t make the rules but there they are. I have had many a chicken in my lifetime. Can I say that Branch Line is the best chicken dish I have ever had? I’m not sure. Can I say that Branch line rotisserie chicken is the best chicken only dish I have ever had? Yah, that sounds about right. Splitting a rotisserie chicken is just too much fun, the Peri Peri is so aoft and flavorful, and it comes with fries too!

I just did a balloon magic show at this restaurant, and I cannot begin to tell you how fantastic it is. They were hospitable from the moment I came in, and we’re helpful in sorting out some of the things I needed. I got a chance to try the food and it was delicious. The staff and the manager were both polite, friendly, and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back!

Tucked way in the back of the quickly expanding Arsenal Yards, Branch Line is a great sit down restaurant with a long bar for the after work crowd. Short but very tasty menu we had a lovely butternut squash risotto, and steelhead trout with celery root. Drinks were very good and they have a mocktail selection. There’s a free parking garage a short walk from the restaurant.

I had the chicken and avocado. The meal was delicious. The service was a little slow. The restaurant has beautiful decor.

The service was excellent – one of the owners stopped by our table a few times to check on us and was very friendly. Interesting cocktails. I think the rotisserie chicken was more moist than the piri piri chicken, and thus the better option of the two. The fries and carrots were both tasty sides.

Phenomenal service for my graduation dinner. Each course was hot and delicious, servers were professional and helpful and the portions were PERFECT! Totally worth the money. Will definitely visit again the next time I’m in the area.

This place has an amazing vibe and it’s clear that they know how to season their food. Everything we had was cooked to perfection. I was happy to see that they were cleaning frequently and they also had multiple options for seating depending on your comfort level. I ordered the whole chicken since their specialty is rotisserie and they have an amazing deal if you order the whole chicken.
