Best Southern American Restaurants in Dorsey-Riverbend

I can't say enough good things about our experience at Batch. Devon, our waitress, was friendly and helpful from the minute we sat down. Carlos, the manager was amazing. He was beyond friendly warm and generous. The food was delicious. We were able to try so many different appetizers and enjoyed them all. The entrees were delicious as well. I highly recommend this restaurant and location. Enjoy and tell Carlos his new friend from NY sent you. Enjoy

Expectations were high for this place but unfortunately they were not met for me. Service was great. Super friendly and attentive but the food was just okay. Appetizers were well done with the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs and cornbread being tasty and well executed. The mains were a disappointment though. The fried chicken was probably the best but was still not much above a Mary browns or Popeyes in quality and taste. My barbecue platter was just okay too with an odd additional of mayonnaise on the bbq chicken. The ribs were tasty and had good texture but the brisket burnt ends were alternately dry and fatty. The sausage was in my opinion just ok. The shrimp and grits were also just okay with the shrimp being a bit fishy tasting leading me to believe they were not of the best quality. I was expecting better from this highly rated place.

Batch is always delicious and fun! This has been a downtown favorite of ours for years, and it never disappoints.

We had an excellent brunch with good service and delicious food.
