Thereâs a right way and a wrong way to serve chicken and wafflesâand at Batch New Southern Kitchen and Tap theyâre executed just right. Belgium-style cornbread waffles arrive tableside accompanied by chili-thyme honey and bourbon-maple butter to spread. The sweet tea-brined chicken is a perfect counterpart, making for one tasty meal.
New Beginnings
The eatery opened on Clematis Street in fall, serving up a menu specializing is new Southern cuisine. Itâs the teamâs second concept and third restaurant opening (Batch Hospitality Group also has its Gastropub brand in Delray Beach and Miami).
âWeâve decided to label the restaurant as ânew Southernâ because itâs definitely not the traditional âunbuckle the belt,â heavy Southern cuisine,â says Kevin Danilo, owner of Batch Hospitality Group. âWe wanted to be able to pull from all of the different Southern flavors opposed to one specific region of  âSouthern,â and we wanted the ability to put spins on classic items to give our guests completely new experiences.â
Order Up
For starters, the Cathead Biscuits come with chili-thyme honey, seasonal local jam and bourbon maple butter. Or, pop House-Made Bacon Tots in your mouth and wash them down with a garden-to-glass cocktail.
Using a batching system, Batch serves some of its signature drinks on tap. A favorite is the Bootlegger, made with Ole Smoky Moonshine thatâs infused with pineapple and jalapeĂąo for a week before being carbonated with guava and fresh lemon juice.
The Mains
A few light options include a BBQ Jackfruit âPulled Porkâ sandwich and the plant-based Impossible Burger.
The Shrimp ânâ Grits provides a spicy alternative to the classic with its infusion of jalapeĂąo served with jumbo blackened shrimp and bacon jus. Thereâs also the Mac Attackâsmothered in smoked cheddar and gouda with a topping of Frito dust. Customize it with extras like truffle oil, fried chicken and pecanwood smoked bacon.
End on a sweet note with a jar dessert like Banana Puddinâ. Our advice? Empty out the jarâs ingredients of custard, vanilla wafers, brĂťlĂŠed bananas and banana whipped cream onto a plate and mix together for a truly delicious experience.
