If you’ve strolled through the Agoura Hills Ladyface Marketplace on a Thursday evening, you’ve probably seen the growing crowd around Branch Patty — and maybe even heard the words “sold out again!” whispered with both delight and disappointment. These aren’t just patties — they’re an experience. And behind each flaky fold is the heart and soul of husband-and-wife duo Chef Samuel and Lisa Branch.
Branch Patty is a story of legacy, love, and flavor. Chef Samuel Branch grew up on patties as a child of the Caribbean, savoring them as a staple of comfort and community. But it wasn’t until he stepped into professional kitchens that he realized he could elevate that childhood love into something extraordinary. Partnering with his wife Lisa, whose warmth and vision help shape the heart of their business, the couple relaunched Branch Patty in 2017 with a commitment to small-batch, handmade excellence.
In their words:
“This is our soul food. It’s our expression of love.”
“You can taste the kindness. You can feel it when you eat it.”
That’s exactly what makes Branch Patty so special — it’s not just what’s inside the crust (though the jerk chicken, curry veggie, and braised oxtail fillings are chef’s kiss). It’s the story, the integrity, and the care that come through with every bite.
