Do yourself a favor and visit this incredible place. It’s beautiful, warm and welcoming. We enjoyed every single bite of our meal. The quality is amazing. The service is unmatched! We are “foodies” and now we are huge fans of this establishment. Kevin and Brandon’s hospitality was over the top. Felicia, our server made our day! She was delightful and so accommodating. The extensive drink menu is the cherry on top. Give this gem, a try. You will not be sorry!

It was a great experience. The food was really good. I could eat it all because the servings were generous. Next time I’ll go back when it’s not so busy. Given the grief that was there the staff did a good job to tend to us.

We enjoyed Batch when they were Batch Gastropub before they switched over to New Southern Kitchen. We are working our way through the new menu and so far we haven’t tried anything that we didn’t like. The manager, Jennifer, always greets us personally and makes sure we are taken care of. She always shares what’s new and seems genuinely interested in our feedback. Great food, great service, and amazing drinks!
