South Branch Tavern & Grille

We did a private dining event here recently and it was a great experience. We ordered off the menu and did not have to do a pre-set menu for our group of 18. We started with a variety of appetizers. All were very tasty. Charcuterie board: Chef's selection of assorted meats and cheese, baby artichokes, mixed olives, pepperoncini, toasted almonds, candied pecans, flavored mustards, apple mostarda, grilled ciabatta bread. - lots of goodies, very flavorfulcheese curds: Cornmeal beer-battered Wisconsin curds, smoked tomato coulis. Can't go wrong with fried cheese. Yummy!Pretzel bites: Pretzel salt, beer cheese sauce. So tasty. Carb heavy but with a good pretzel flavorSalt and pepper calamari; Crispy fried calamari, szechuan peppercorn, fresno chiles, sweet and spicy sriracha, micro basil. Good flavor on the squid. For my entree, I had the bang bang shrimp taco: Beer-battered shrimp, Asian slaw, chili aioli, sriracha, sesame seeds, micro cilantro, flour tortillas. Very flavorful. A bit spicy but not too bad. Came with a side of chips and salsa.Overall a really nice meal. The staff took care of us. The food and drinks were tasty.

Came here for a work outing and this place is not bad! Quality- the shrimp tacos are quite good here. They're crispy and spicy at the same time. The tacos are also packed with vegetables and other sauces too. The side of brocolli cheesy soup was a great addition. Quantity- you get a lot for 15 bucks. Atmosphere- great when it is sunny out. Service- it took a while. Like an hour for the food to arrive. The staff were also a bit rude when apologizing for it when we asked. Likely not coming back here again.

If you are looking for a spot for a large group with a variety of that will please everyone, this is the place to go. We came here with a group of 9 and everyone was able to order what they wanted and thoroughly enjoyed the apps! I ordered the almond crusted salmon, which was crispy, delicious and flavorful! The clam chowder was also really good! The Brussels definitely could have used more flavor. The pretzel bites were ok, nothing special about them, but the guacamole and chips were great! The service could've been better. Our waitress wasn't super friendly, just did her job but did not go above and beyond, and wasn't very pleasant.

Great location right on the river walk and you'll definitely see a lot of big groups or business people in the restaurant. They have lots of great options for appetizers. I recommend the cheese curds and pretzel bites! I also highly recommend the bang bang shrimp tacos.

Came here the friend for lunch and to catch up - we came after the lunch crowd or just at the tail end. There were still some people who were either in office having lunch or meeting their clients. Our waitress was nice and took our order. We ordered the harvest salad with shrimp and the hot turkey press with fries. Booths were situated along the windows and tables in the middle. Nice place to meet with friends although it's a bit off the busier streets.

Such a great place to go after work. The outside space on the river is perfect for cocktails and appetizers. The inside space is very cool too. The food was excellent. We started with a couple of appetizers but we're having such a good time that we stayed for dinner. Our waiter was patient and helpful. It was busy but our glasses were never empty and he was very attentive. I really enjoyed my Harvest salad and my friend's chicken wrap looked delicious. I plan to return next week.

Over the past few years, I have been here a few times and have different experiences each time. You definitely need to reserve to come here, especially for lunch, and most especially in the summer. During the summer, there is a patio on the river and it's beautiful with the views. The space is very large inside and the seating is modern. You really feel like you're having an elevated lunch experience, which is great. The service is not as consistent as I hope, in terms of timing. Sometimes they are quick and sometimes they aren't. I think they have gotten better with time. The food is very good. Elevated American fare, averaging about $20 for lunch, which is nice for the experience. Their wraps and sandwiches are hearty. The salads are beautiful and taste good, but they aren't as filling as I expected, so stick with handhelds and entrees. Overall, this is a great place for drinks and food. I enjoy coming here.

I ordered online and came to pick up my order. It was ready on time. I got the steak wrap with a side of asparagus. My order was nearly $20 which is roughly the average price downtown at a restaurant. The food itself was well seasoned. I don't think I would come here all the time for a quick bite to eat, but would come here with work colleagues. Staff was good. No complaints.

I went for Thursday lunch and was seated immediately. There's a lot of people here and the food kind of took a long time to get here but it was so good and the service was pretty nice as well. Ambience = corporate. Outdoor seating is a plus bc the weather was really nice. For the amount of people here, the service is fine. Food was pretty decent! Nothing crazy but solid food.

Good spot after the office for drinks with coworkers especially when weather is goodalso had lunch the other day outside and it was actually pretty fantastic for what it is - didn't have high expectations for the food and it's a solid choice for a quick sit down lunch (I had a hot chicken wrap and gf got the Cobb salad). That said, the patio has wayyyy too many bees infesting the tables - not sure what you can do around it, but it ruined the overall experience
