For us, rotisserie chicken pairs far better with the season than anything in the pumpkin-flavored category. That’s even more true under the string lights at Branch Line’s outdoor patio space, which feels like a very natural extension of the restaurant’s dining room. Grab a side of mac and cheese, rosemary fries, and a bottle of wine with that bird, and you’ll forget about those lattes in no time.

We’ve included Branch Line in our guides to Unique Fall Patios and Heated Patios, so we’re running out of superlatives for their truly fantastic outdoor space. Thesaurus.com suggests “preposterous” or “ludicrous,” but then we’d start sounding like Elon Musk. Branch Line is open for dinner Tues-Thurs, and for lunch and dinner Fri-Sun.
