3 months agoBatch New Southern Kitchen delivers comfort food with a creative Southern twist. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting, and the dishes show real attention to detail. The fried chicken was crispy, flavorful, and seasoned all the way through, paired perfectly with the golden waffles. The shrimp and grits were a standout, with a rich, savory flavor and a great balance of textures.
The cocktails were also thoughtfully crafted, with a nice mix of classic Southern inspiration and modern touches. Every plate felt like it was made with care rather than just assembled.
A great spot for anyone looking for elevated Southern food, generous portions, and a place where the kitchen clearly takes pride in what it sends out. Definitely worth a visit. 🍗🥃✨

1 month agoI could make this super long but this was such an amazing brunch experience. My group of 6 came here for my sisters bachelorette and from the moment we walked in we had a warm welcome from the staff. The food was great. My shrimp and grits were INCREDIBLE. They came out a bit lukewarm but they happily took it back and had a hot plate ready for me. Friends said the espresso campfire martini was amazing.
But the main WOW moment was the owner (who happened to be the host and we didn’t realize). When I made the reservation we spoke on the phone about places to go in WPB. She came to me and brought a typed up written list of places to go and her recommendations for my group. That was genuinely the kindest gesture and was so thoughtful I couldn’t express it enough. Overall super cute restaurant and a great time. Thank you Chey and our server Sara

One of the standout features is the enormous menu, offering something for every palate. Whether you're looking for classic Southern comfort food, fresh appetizers, or hearty entrées, there are plenty of options to satisfy any craving.
The atmosphere was amazing, with a lively energy that makes it a great spot for date nights, gatherings with friends, or a fun night out downtown. Between the excellent service, diverse menu, great cocktails, and vibrant ambiance, Batch is a place I would happily return to again and again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in West Palm Beach on Clematis.

4 weeks agoCame to Batch for happy hour and this is my 3rd time here in the last 2 weeks. I’ve got to say the happy hour food and drinks are unmatched. I would like to thank Danielle for her more than exceptional service. Today we had the deviled eggs ( all time favorite since day one), and tried the smoked bbq egg rolls as well as the smokehouse salmon crispy rice. Also to mention the drinks are always on point with a bunch of $6 options and the rotational whiskey for only $12. All in all I will continue to make this a top choice for happy hour.
