The North Branch Inn

Such a great little place in a spot you might least expect. Wonderful local drinks and food. The only dish I tried that wasn't perfect was the lamb. It was much too fatty for my taste. They only have one server so please be kind and patient when you dine.

Not good. Pancakes were burnt, and biscuit in egg dish was cold and hard. Waitress gave 50% off, but pancakes should have been wasted not served to customers. Food is high price so it should be good, which it was not. Traveled a distance to visit this restaurant and it was terrible. Had visitors from the city and I was embarrassed. Will not recommend this place!!

Every single dish is excellent and the flavor profile is bold. I recommend the grits with the seared duck and fried egg on top, the veges in this dish are fresh and have such a great flavor.

Incredible food. Fabulous service. A great beer and cider menu that's east coast local!

Charming spot with a cozy casual atmosphere. The old bar and bowling alley here are definitely some of the Inn's highlights. Food here is changed weekly, usually with gastropub appetizers such as rabbit stew. Entrées are small enough for 1 person; we ordered duck, venison and daurade all of which were delicious in that the accompaniments and mains were picked and prepared with care to appease all areas of the pallette. BUT, and here's why it's 3 stars, every single dish we ordered was over salted; the bread and butter! After our first few bites of the apps, we noticed unanimously. And after peeking into the kitchen (which wasn't so hard given the open concept) we could clearly see every chef being extremely generous in adding 5-7 dashs (not pinches) of salt to everything they were preparing. It was as if each chef trained under salt bae, or wanted to preserve our dishes so we could take them home and eat the rest in 6 months. Great food and atmosphere, but until they stop oversalting, I wouldn't recommend going.
