Batch & Brine in Lafayette

Cool place, a nice vibe and a decently diverse American menu. Service was excellent, seated right away despite being busy and the server was friendly and very helpful with the menu.They have a dedicated fryer for Gluten Free fries and they have lots of gluten free options for those who need it. My wife said the Blue burger was really good and cooked just the way she likes it. The gluten free bun was decent. The garlic Parmesan fries had good flavor but they could have used a bit more time in the fryer.I actually got two entrees because I couldnt decide which one to get and the server said they werent huge. Fish tacos and BBQ pork Mac and Cheese. The tacos were good, mostly because the pickled veggies and Salsa Verde had bright, punchy flavor. The fish itself was cooked nice and crispy but lacked a little salt or something, luckily the rest of the taco was bursting with flavor. The BBQ pork was good but the pasta shells and cheese were pretty bland and not very cheesy.Overall, a very good experience. I would go back to try some of the other menu options.

Had brunch with the girlfriends & we ordered a couple of items to share - see pics on what we ordered! We chose outside seating which was pleasant. Overall, the food was a combination of good & just ok. Glad to have tried this place but no need to repeat for me.

Delicious food. Generous portions. Server was friendly and attentive. The sliders were delicious and fries were crispy. The Brussels were a little spicy. My friend had the salmon sandwich and found 2 bones in her salmon. Otherwise, a great experience with yummy food and friendly staff. The seating is plentiful and we were able to easily find seats at 12:30 on a Monday.

Enjoyed a Sunday lunch at Batch & Brine in July 2023. Weather was nice but warm. We opted to sit outside and we were seated immediately as the inside had a long wait. The atmosphere was alive and patrons were in good spirits. We ordered some drinks and reviewed the menu. When the waiter returned we asked to be moved two spots up to capitalize on the vacant spot in the shade. Our requested was honored without a beat. Much appreciated! In the shade even with the heat we were good without shade you may want to eat inside.Ordered: Ahi-Poke Wonton Nachos, Nisi’s Pretzel added on the Beer Cheese, Nashville Hot Slider, Duck Bahn Mi and Fish TacosAhi-Poke Wonton Nachos super tasty, flavorful and light. Wanted more wontons. Would order again.Pretzel was soft and easy to share. The cheese should have come standard with the order and not as add-on.Nashville Hot Chicken Slider was just okay and not very “hot”. Standard fare chicken sandwich, nothing special.Duck Bahn Mi was a disappointment. It wasn’t bad it was simply lack luster, dry and bland. Certainly the least flavorful Bahn Mi I’ve tasted. I sadly do not recommend.Fish Tacos were okay. The cabbage/ veg was the star.Everything smelled really good including the burgers ordered at some surrounding tables. I will return and try a burger with a signature drink. Staff were friendly and the bathroom stalls had a cool graffiti aesthetic. Overall food is fair and maybe a tad pricey but the location and atmosphere is inviting and a good time was had by all.

Great atmosphere with outdoor seating. Dog friendly! Came on a Saturday around 4pm and was seated right away. They have a good happy hour menu from 3 to 5 that had delicious chicken tacos and beef taquitos for a good price. Loved the Mac and cheese that has a variety of add-on choices. The fries and pastrami sandwich were enjoyable. I just wish it had more meat. Also loved that they have a Mocktail menu, we tried the lavender haze and red & stormy. The service was a little slow our waitress didnt know we were sat in her section, and then she didnt check on us much. Another kind server or runner was more attentive, bringing all our drinks and food plus water for our dog. Overall would recommend and will be back!

Good restaurant in the middle of Lafayette. I had a very good fried chicken salad. Nice seating outside and friendly wait staff.

Food was decent but I love th atmosphere and decor. I definitely recommend when visiting Lafayette.

Great service! Delicious food! Cocktail was wonderful!

It is a must when in the bay area. Everything is beyond good. Couldnt resist all the unique and flavorful cocktails

I really feel like I just chose the wrong thing on the menu. The plate was so pretty when it arrived and I really liked the cabbage on top, but it quickly made the batter very soggy. So much so that I just ate the fish inside, which was a very small amount. Truthfully there was much more batter than fish. I would definitely go back to try their burgers. People all around me were ordering burgers and they looked amazing. So I will return. Just not for fish tacos.
