Great service from Steph made this birthday dinner extra special! Truly an amazing ambiance and decor inside made the vibes right! Good food that hit the spot and didn’t break the bank! I’ll be returning soon for more deliciousness!

We always go to batch for guaranteed good food and a nice atmosphere. We’ve only been to the Ft. Lauderdale location twice now but both times were delicious. We came for Valentine’s Day and were surprised that it wasn’t crazy packed. They have a good special menu and the steak was amazing!

The Boulevardier drink was fantastic, very smooth. The BBQ was amazing, Mac and cheese was yummy, crab cakes and egg rolls also delicious. The service was okay, no complaints, but the food was definitely spot on. I went to all the top rated restaurants in town on a week long trip and this was one of the best for sure, I would eat here again any time. Prices are fair for the quality.

We had a great time at Batch for brunch. We made reservations for 1pm. We were seated not too long after our expected time. Our server Felicia was amazing from start to finish. She knew the menu well, made amazing recommendations and was always attentive. Our food was well seasoned, from the burnt tips, deviled eggs to the burgers and chicken and waffles. Nobody had any complaints. Drinks were also very good. They had an extensive drinks menu. Parking can be an issue as if it’s busy the parking garage guest area is small and fulls quickly so you will have to try to find street parking. Definitely a must try and we will be back.

I stumbled in after a long walk and ordered me a whiskey at the West end of the bar. The bartender with the suspenders recommended a brand that he only drank. Top shelf mind you. I ordered it neat. It went down smooth. The second time I ordered I wanted to try a different one, and it was crap. My party finally arrived after I had ordered from the Happy Hour menu. I had the Brisket sliders which arrived hot and ready to eat! There were two and I downed them with the good whiskey and water. I tried the deviled eggs, the French fries, and maybe some Mac and cheese. Bottom line: the service was good and friendly! The food was good! The ambiance in the restaurant area was not well lit. Recommendations: lose the suspenders and rename the menu word: Provisions (who wants to go back in time?) If you recommend a top shelf item, let the customer know.

Party of 6 on a Saturday night at 7. Seated immediately. Everything we had was delicious! Deviled eggs, fried green tomatoes, buttermilk biscuits (don’t miss), Baby back ribs, mac and cheese with brisket, jambalaya, Nashville hot chicken and waffles, and blackberry lemonade. Such an unusually adventurous menu that it was hard to make a choice as everything looked and sounded delicious. Our waitress was a sincerely happy person who did a fantastic job. The only drawback for me was the live music was excruciatingly loud. I’m sure others enjoyed it, but I would have enjoyed it if it would have been much quieter. Everything else was near perfect. We plan to go back the next time we are in the area.

This was our first time at Batch! What a cool atmosphere and the best food. You can definitely tell they take a lot of pride in the food they serve. We were welcomed warmly by everyone who worked there. Our server Raanan was the best! He was so warm and friendly, we just loved him! This restaurant is a must if you are in the area! We will definitely be back.

Our dining experience at Batch was excellent. We enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, crab cakes (so much crab & merely no breading!), the burnt ends & the biscuits as appetizers. Yes, we’re foodies! For our main course we had jambalaya & red fish. We finished our night with a pecan blondie, recommended by a Batch Manager. Our waiter Kyle was great! We sat outside which was beautiful, but we saw the inside & it was equally beautiful. We will be back. Thank you, Batch for a nice anniversary dinner!
