    We went for the Easter buffet and were not disappointed! Often times buffets are semi yummy cheap food sitting forever in overheated buffet chafing dishes…..not so at Branchwater. Everything was a good temp, and the same quality and taste I have come to know and love at Branchwater. The carving station was the yummiest! The Mac and cheese? Best I ever had. I literally had to restrain myself from running up there and getting a whole new plate of it! 🤣. Mothers Day is coming up Branchwater and I will be waiting!!!

    Really good food but the service was outstanding! Abdul was such a personable, attentive, and engaging waiter. He definitely made the evening feel first class for all he served !

    Our waiter was great. The cocktails are creative and tasty. My husband had the ahi tuna and loved it. I had the short rib. The macaroni was perfectly cooked but I didn’t taste any cheese. The short rib was very fatty but tender and tasted good. Overall, I felt my meal was way overpriced for what it was. We have been here before and I’m sure we will go back but I was a little disappointed.

    Too many screaming kids. Next time, I’ll sit in bar. Branchwater could have guided me to adult area and kept kids in another place. Spent>$100 and was looking for quieter time.

    The hostess moved us to a small booth for 3 of us so we asked to be moved to a table. The restaurant wasn’t crowded and there were tables right near our booth but we were moved to a table next to 2 parties of 8 people. The noise of the conversations around us made it very difficult to hear. NY Strip Coffee encrusted was not and didn’t have any coffee flavor. Fries were not good.

    Waiter was great- service was slow, food was fair (2) scallop meals all good by the scallops, they were very small dry and over cooked. Other 2 meals Pork chop was very good. Buffalo chicken sandwich was good. Refill of one drink was served in styrofoam cup! Overall been to Canton location twice and both excellent. Will not go back to Cumming and probably not to canton as well very disappointed as we met friends that have never been there.

    The food was delicious. We were there the day after Valentine’s Day and the restaurant was very crowded. Our table was next to the waiting area so it was quite loud. Overall our experience was a very good one and we will definitely be back.
