Hands down the BEST quality breakfast I've had in Fresno! Far exceeds Red Apple and even, despite menu differences, Yolked. Loved: 1) Before 9AM, NOT busy. Easy to get a table. Weekends may be different... 2) LOTS of parking and big spaces, unlike at other breakfast spots. Wide parking... 3) Food comes out HOT! Unlike red apple with their lukewarm potatoes/gravy. 4) Music is low volume background. You CAN actually have a conversation and enjoy folks if eating with others. 5) NO TVS!!! 6) Limited menu help ensures QUALITY and attention to detail. 7) Subtle complexity of flavors that REALLY differentiates from the crowd. 8) NOTHING is over salted. They let YOU season and determine YOUR level of preference/tolerance. 9) Service is excellent. 10) Friendly clientele.... I held a couple conversations with others in the restaurant. Very casual and laidback. 11) Humble decor that isn't overdone, busy or crowed. Not loved: 1) NOTHING stood out! They had a '2 for 1 special.' IF you've read my reviews you know that means that I sometimes order TWO entrees and I--ONE PERSON--polish them both off! GB3 AHOY! Ordered: 1) Water, no ice, no straw. 2) Biscuits/gravy ala carte. 3) Beni bowl, extra hollandaise sauce. Detail: 1) Food comes out HOT. With REAL steam coming off! Something overlooked and under appreciated at other restaurants. 2) Textures were intact and varied, even noticed with something like the a humble potato! 3) The beni bowl had both chorizo and bacon in it. Each was cooked perfectly and they didn't include all the GREASE from cooking both of those up! The poached eggs were fantastic and... 4) Both the hollandaise sauce and the country gravy had deep complexity and subtle interesting differences. Again, something missing from most breakfast places in Fresno. 5) Today, I ATE the actual biscuits that came with the gravy. Something I don't think I've done for YEARS! They tasted fresh, textured and were NOT SALTY like lessor quality options. 6) Pricing is so reasonable! Honestly, I've had this un-scratched breakfast ITCH for the longest time that never gets scratched. That all changed today! I'm refreshed getting plugged in with a restaurant that gets subtle differences, quality, textures and flavors with staff that IS actually connected to what comes out of a kitchen, what competes and stands out among similar options, how it TASTES! Thank you always Lord for both the resources and the opportunity to enjoy even a lessor meal in Fresno. But man, I appreciated this end of the spectrum. Keep up the good work, Branch! I notice everything! -G read more

My family and I chose this spot to celebrate my brother's birthday, and unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing. We called early Sunday morning to put our name on the waitlist, arrived on time, and were seated about 40 minutes later. It was a Sunday rush, so we understood and didn't mind the wait. We were still looking forward to enjoying a nice birthday brunch together. Once seated, however, we waited nearly 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order. We had an 8-month-old baby with us and requested a bowl of fruit to come out right away, along with some breakfast poppers as appetizers. The fruit took about 20 minutes and two reminders before it finally arrived. Our main dishes followed another 20 minutes later. During that time, we repeatedly tried to get coffee and water refills but had no luck. When the food did arrive, it came out one plate at a time -- for a party of seven adults -- and the appetizers actually arrived last. By then, the coffee was cold and everyone's patience was running low. The food itself was fine -- not bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. After we finished eating, we again struggled to get anyone's attention. No one came to check on us, offer refills, or bring the check. We eventually flagged someone down and asked to split the bill three ways. Although we were seven adults and one infant, we were charged a large party fee and an automatic 20% gratuity. When we politely asked about the large party charge -- noting that we had a baby in our count -- we were met with a rude response: "Well, did the baby eat?" We were also asked why we were so upset, when we simply had a reasonable question. Even after that interaction, we waited again with our payment books visibly standing on the table and our cards sticking out, but no one came. We had to flag someone down once more just to process the payment so we could leave. What was meant to be a pleasant birthday brunch turned into an underwhelming and frustrating experience marked by poor service and a lack of attentiveness. We were so ready to leave that we decided to take the birthday cake with us instead of cutting it there. This isn't about the 20% gratuity -- we are generous tippers and often leave more than 20%. It's about the principle and the way we were neglected and spoken to. Sadly, we won't be returning. read more

Such a cute hole in the wall brunch place! Waited about 30 minutes on a Sunday morning but totally worth it. Classic American breakfast items. Would come back just for their Banana Bread pancake! Space and seating is kinda tight so expect to wait a but plenty of parking in a shopping plaza. read more

We've been to this place before, and it was under different management and had a different name. I really liked coming this time because of the simplicity. The menu, the establishment overall, the calmness. Overall a different vibe but I really liked it. I'm a "small menu" lover and this place had exactly that. Descent prices and descent portions, you can't beat that. I will say that I was a little overwhelmed by the French toast lol I was not expecting that mountain, so just be prepared that it is sharing size!! read more

Tried this new spot over the weekend. I joined the waitlist at 11:35 a.m., when the waitlist stated it was a 35 minute wait. We arrived and checked in shortly after, but didn't have food in front of us until 1:20 p.m. So, the wait definitely is worth it IF the food merits the wait, but It was just OK for me. We had to ask for spoons from three different people to eat our food when it finally arrived. Nothing really special except for the pancakes sausage on a stick! Those were really good! Took me back to when I was in high school. I believe the hot chocolate I ordered was made with water and not milk, but I could be wrong. So, that too took me back to my high school days when we used to buy hot chocolate for $1 out of a styrofoam cup from the English teacher. I ordered the Benny Bowl because the hollandaise sauce was supposed to be the highlight of the dish atop the poached eggs, but honestly it was not that flavorful in my humble opinion. The eggs were beautifully poached though. My fiancé ordered the shrimp and grits. I tasted the shrimp and those were really good, but the grits were again, just OK for me. He gave it a 4/5. I'm not sure I would come back, but my fiancé said he might. read more

This was worth the 30 minute drive from Clovis, but I would urge you to arrive before 9 to avoid the crowd. Super nice staff. The biscuits and gravy was excellent with a lot of sausage in it along with a hint of rosemary. My wife got the Branch Breakfast that came with a huge pancake and my benny bowl with chorizo and bacon was incredible. We can't wait to go back and try more things. read more

My friend had heard about this place and mentioned wanting to try it when we were discussing where to go to breakfast today. At 9:30am on a Sunday there was maybe a 15-20 minute wait? We were greeted by a very friendly host, and later the two people who served us were just as friendly and attentive. It's located at Herndon and Marks, where Parma was located maybe about 15 years ago? And maybe Limon was there for a while after that (both those restaurants moved multiple times so I could be confused.) It's the same layout I remember from when it was Parma: a small dining room with a simple layout and just a few tables. Nothing to write home about -- it seems to lack a little in decor or personality, but the dining room was pleasant enough. Both my friend and I enjoyed our breakfast. I had the American plate with very high quality bacon, scrambled eggs, the country potatoes, and then I requested to substitute fruit for the toast and got a beautiful dish of berries. My friend had the chile verde eggs, hash browns and toast. Her one suggestion was to include more chile verde sauce with the meat (which looked a bit dry). It was still good though. The food seemed all very high quality, fresh and homemade. Definitely not the typical (at an IHOP or Denny's) frozen food. So I'd definitely come here again. It kind of reminded me a bit of Patio Cafe but seemed to have a bit more variety. The coffee was good but I never was able to get a refill because I was having decaf and they never got around to bringing it. I'd have loved a refill. Overall, the friendliness of the staff, the high quality of the food, and the good prices for what you got made this a five star experience for breakfast. I want to come back and try the corned beef hash, the biscuit and gravy, and the chilaquiles. read more

This place was pretty busy when we got in (Saturday around 10:30AM). We put our names down on the waitlist and it took just about 5 minutes before we were seated. There was a small mixup with seating but regardless, we were promptly seated once checking back in. They took our drinks and food very quickly after. The drinks came out in about 3ish minutes and the food was about 10 minutes after. Everything came out quick, fresh, and hot! Great service, especially being so busy! The food was superb!! The burrito was very good, and the salsa made it even better. My personal favorite was the French toast! I wish I had tried their special PB&J French toast, but the blueberry pancake was also a great choice. The restaurant itself was a little decorated for the holidays, but the inside is quite small so only so much could fit especially with how busy they were. Overall, I HIGHLY enjoyed my dishes and overall visit, would definitely recommend! read more

Service workers were very good though overtaxed in their jobs, but all smiles and best efforts. My first visit here and I came to taste their eggs benedict, specifically the Smoked Salmon Benny. Glad I ordered the hash browns because they helped soak up the excessive amount of their house homemade hollandaise sauce, which I did NOT like. The dill cream cheese was loss on me. Maybe the assembly of the dish was at fault. And the tough bread didn't help. Days old bread? Impressed by the attempt but disappointed in the result. Sad. read more

I didn't want to write this review because this place is so good but they deserve the credit! The chefs here know what they're doing. I've been here 5+ times and I'm not a breakfast fan. The Banana pancakes are SOOO GOOD. The coffee is amazing since it's from The Otherside cafe. Their carrot cake pancakes were great. I do also love their Benny bowl. The portions are huge and definitely shareable. Their chorizo breakfast burger is different but has good flavor. We love this place and hope they'll open another location or maybe a bigger location! The staff are so so sweet and attentive. Sadly I don't have any photos because we devour the food every time.... 100/10 read more

Service a bit sluggish on a Sunday. Arrive at 10, seated 1030, food arrived 1050ish. Ordered a special with roasted potatoes, got hash browns instead. Replaced with no probs Also two eggs benny, ham was generous and eggs cooked well. Prices reasonable. Ambiance is very dinerish, but slightly more upscale. A few features look dated but doesn't get in the way of food. read more

Surprisingly good. Was not expecting how good it was given I went there spur of the moment. Best grits I've ever had. Even the cabbage was amazing. Corn beef hash was okay but somehow I'm okay with that since everything else was better than expected. Coffee was typical dinner coffee but everything else was on point. read more

Great breakfast-brunch venue. Very tasty, high quality menu with some original items.

We visited Branch Breakfast Co. on Labor Day, not realizing it had just opened. The online check-in feature was a nice touch, but we still had to confirm once we arrived, and the wait ended up being about 30 minutes (it's a small, cozy space, so on busy mornings it gets loud and fills quickly). The staff was the highlight, so sweet, attentive, and working hard to keep up with the holiday rush. The menu isn't huge yet, but it has a good mix of breakfast staples with a small lunch side. One thing to note: no alcohol at this point, so don't come expecting mimosas (yet!). For food, I tried the Benny Bowl, very tasty and flavorful, though the hollandaise and sour cream together were richer than I prefer (next time I'd ask for sauce on the side). My husband went with the Breakfast Brunch Platter. The French toast was thick and classic, nothing fancy but still enjoyable. I think the stuffed French toast on the menu might be the move next time for something a little more fun. Overall, this place shows promise. It's a welcoming new spot with kind staff, tasty dishes, and plenty of room to grow. Excited to see how they expand the menu and (hopefully) add brunch cocktails in the future! read more

Stopped here with my son and father to grab brunch on a weekday. The staff were accommodating for my son who is 6 months old and got him a high chair and even a kids menu.

I got their chili verde (pork) omelette, no potatoes, all fruit and add avocado. And the owners cute lil daughter was there helping her dad out, which was really sweet to see! I would definitely come back here again! read more

Branch Breakfast - Chili verde omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fresno, California

Great service, friendly staff. With the cutest kids running around. Not super loud was able to hold a conversation with my daughter. I got French toast, eggs, bacon, potatoes with OJ. Everything was very good except the French Toast. It was good, but bread was like 2 in thick so I got mostly bread. I enjoy the French mixture and with bread that thick you can get the mixture in the inside. The bread itself is very sweet almost hawaii roll flavor. But when I get French toast I want the cinnamon mixture of traditional French Toast. So it just wasn't for me. I ate it but I would order it again. Next time Ill try pancakes. read more

We came on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm and the place was starting to wind down so It didn't seem busy at all. My Second time coming here and this time I ordered the Shrimp (tails removed) and Grits. The plate comes with a healthy serving of Grits topped with 2 eggs to you liking, with linguica and shrimp and a drizzling of a sort of sweet red sauce. I would have preferred it to be a little less sweet and just a bit more savory. I wasn't spicy at all for those that may be sensitive to spice. The service was excellent as always and they are always so nice to my friend and I. Very personable and cozy. It usually pretty quiet so if you have a loved one that is hard of hearing or want a nice quiet meal, this place is great. read more

I absolutely love this spot! There's a decent amount of seating but it's quite small in there so for sure get there early on the weekends or your wait time will be long. The first time I went with family with a party of 4 we were seated quickly. Our order was taken when we were ready and we didn't feel rushed. The food came out quickly and all the while our coffee stayed hot and full. They walk by with the carafe of coffee and ask if we want our cups topped off. Service was great and food was amazing. The hash browns need its own separate review. I don't ever eat hash browns at restaurants but their hash browns are *chefs kiss* it has the perfect crispiness and it's cooked all the way through with a buttery taste. I could probably just eat their hash browns all day. This is seriously one of my top fav spots for breakfast. Well done Branch Breakfast read more

Best grits in Fresno. The fusion of the sweet chili and the Gouda combined makes it worth while. The scene is farmhouse style-homey vibes. The prices are fair- homemade sauces, food made from scratch you can't beat that. Family owned-husband, wife and children serving,- family oriented service. Must try!!! Biscuits and gravy- from scratch. Soooo good. Coming back. read more

This restaurant was my backup plan and I'm glad we went here. The service was excellent, Esther was our server. They don't have a big menu for breakfast but my husband and I both love chili Verde. So we had chili Verde omelettes, with crispy hashbrowns, and I had wheat toast and he had an English muffin. His muffin was thicker than most, and it was very good. I wish they would just put a little bit more chili Verde on top but the omelette was nice and fluffy. They put pickled onions and cilantro on top of the omelette, which was a nice touch. The place is clean and they had nice music playing in the background. The coffee was pretty good so basically I have no complaints. read more

New-ish breakfast spot in Fresno. Went here on a Saturday morning around 9:30. They were busy, but we were able to be seated immediately. They need to work on decor inside a bit- we were laughing because they have a single photo hung in the entire restaurant and once we noticed it, it felt a bit odd. In terms of food- my dining partners probably would have given this a 3/5; one had the breakfast burrito and he said it was good, but it was imbalanced in terms of egg vs potato vs meat and was super egg heavy. The other had the normal breakfast plate and said it was "fine". But I got the biscuits and gravy and to be honest it was some of the best sausage gravy I've ever had in a restaurant. Real chunks of sausage, seasoned extremely well, and just all around flavorful - not that bland slop you tend to get at most restaurants. I get chicken fried steak or biscuits and gravy most places I go, and I would definitely come back here for their gravy. read more

Best French toast in Fresno! I visit family from time to time in Fresno and love trying out new brunch restaurants, hands down their French toast is the best in Fresno.

Modern American breakfast fare in a small but cozy space. Servers are attentive and helpful. The items we ordered were typical breakfast selections but the standout of the meal was definitely the PB&J French Toast. I would go back over and over again for it! Doesn't need the extra butter or Maple syrup. Their house "Jelly" which was a strawberry coulis of sorts was the perfect accompaniment to balance out the richness of the peanut butter within the perfectly fluffy French Toast. read more

First Timer. 10:24 Sunday morning. Place was packed! Was put on the wait list. Outside patio area had sitting/eating area with umbrellas. Being that it was already 80+ degrees the umbrellas was life saver. A gentleman asked if we wanted something to drink. We asked for water. We found out the gentlemen, Bret was the owner. He was very personable and shared this place has only open for 2 1/2 months. Food: Branch breakfast platter: Good portion Pancakes were doughy not fluffy. Bacon, sausage and hash brown were good. 9/10 Chile verde omelette w/ biscuits and gravy. Food portion was good. Omelette was fluffy and full of Oaxaca cheese. Chile verde was minimal in portion. Taste was enjoyable, didn't have the tanginess of tomatillos or the slight hint of spiciness. 9/10. Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 10/10 for a small place, ambiance was nice, was not loud. Bathrooms: 10/10 clean Overall Experience: A new, bustling spot with a very personable owner. Standout Features: Excellent service and a great ambiance, even when it's busy. The patio with umbrellas sounds perfect for a hot day. Room for Improvement: The pancakes could be fluffier, and the chile verde could use more of that classic tangy, spicy flavor. Will come back to try Benny bowl & Classic Eggs Benedict read more

Service was stellar and 5+ star worthy. I love when a business is family-owned and operated, and they have the littles ones working! Teaching them good work ethics and skills at a young age was refreshing to see. They for sure earned their tips! Service from the adults was friendly and attentive. We never had to ask for drink refills, requests were taken care of efficiently, and customizations of food were done correctly. The menu has standard breakfast items, but there are a few entrees with international flavor twists. I ordered the shrimp & grits, but it was served with a sweet chili sauce, sesame, jalapeno garnish, and pieces of hot link (or smoked sausage), so there were a lot of different flavor combos and a spicy kick. The grits were quite thin, whereas it was almost soupy-looking. I prefer my grits much thicker, so the texture really threw me off. I liked the Asian-fusion flavor, but it was overwhelming the dish as a whole because of the runny grits. I would definitely not order this again. My husband and brother both ordered the "benny bowl," and were happy with their choice. The coffee is nice and strong and they offer flavored creamers. I like to support small, local, and family-ran businesses, so I'm keeping Branch in our breakfast rotation when we're in town...I'll just try something else on the menu. read more

Good spot for breakfast. Good ambience and attentive staff. My wife had the Branch Breakfast Platter, our 2 adult kids each had the Branch Breakfast Burrito, and I had the shrimp and grits. Everything was delicious. They tell you the shrimp are in a sweet chili sauce, but the first bite of sweet grits was surprising - very good, but surprising. I have two minor complaints. The Platter should come with toast, to sop up the delicious runny eggs, and while also delicious, I prefer my grits to be firmer, and less watery. That could just be me though - the way my southern parents raised me. Don't miss this place though. read more

So nice to have a new breakfast place in town! Our server was Jonah - he was great! Very friendly and happy to offer recommendations. The ambiance was clean and modern, and the atmosphere was bustling. Tables are a little close, so don't expect an intimate experience. Food was very good! Sauces made in-house and the fresh ingredients shine through. The biscuits were a tad dry, but easy to fix by rolling them in that house made gravy. The chile verde omelette was amazing with a bright tangy sauce. The avo toast was decent but was missing something for me. All in all we had a great experience.
