Branch Cantina - Long Branch

I'm not sure why they have received negative reviews, perhaps they have a new chef now, but the place is really nice. The octopus was excellent and the drinks were very enjoyable. The staff was friendly as well. I will definitely be returning!

The restaurant advertises half-price pitchers of Sangria all day long. When I tried to sit outside, I was told that the deal is only available at the bar unless I order food. There were plenty of empty tables outside, so it was disappointing that they wouldn't honor the promotion. It seemed like a silly policy to lose out on a potential sale.

Me and my gf were in mood for Mexican food and googled this location. The atmosphere was nice and fun, our serve Shannon was very attentive and very friendly. We asked for drink recommendations, and she suggested the spicy cucumber which was beyond delicious. Food was also very good!

My wife and I decided to go for lunch came upon this place called Cantina food was good. Service was great. We sat at the bar. A young men named Dannell the bartender served us food and drinks. He really was a pleasure to be around. We had a great time. Definitely will come back for the food and service.

Went on 9.2.2023 and maybe understaff or something. Food served were not something I expect from a restaurant. 1. chicken quesadilla chicken is dry and cheese is rubbery and not melted.2. Esquites tasted very weird. It seems like literally just corn covered with mayonnaise. 3. Nachos barely had any toppings4. Crispy pork belly was pretty much just sweet.
