Just had lunch with Nicole at the bar. Nicole was super friendly and entertaining. The food was fantastic and quick. Great local find.

Brought two friends for a birthday celebration on a Saturday evening. Sat at the bar, figured we'd get a quick drink and a bite. The place was almost empty, which should have told us something. We were the only ones at the bar, and it still took 25 minutes to get our drinks. Our food came out ahead of our cocktails! No explanation, no apologies. In truth, the place seems more like a mall restaurant than a local spot. Doubt we'll be back. read more

I've been coming here for years, however they really won my praise during the World Cup when they had the games on early and staff here are always so kind. The bartender is gifted, literally. read more

Picked up the parents from their cruise and was feeling hungry. I didn't want to deal with finding or paying parking in SF, so I suggested to check a place out closer to home. The girls were feeling brunch and I just wanted an opportunity to check out Batch & Brine . We ordered the PB&J stuffed French toast, avocado toast, the Philly, and the Merguez lamb burger. I upgraded my side of fries for the Duck + Cheese fries...and everyone's verdict was . Everything was so good! And the fresh pretzel bun was amazing! We're definitely going back! Next time we'll ask to sit inside since it was hot. read more

Super fun and cute spot in Lafayette with great in door and out door seating. Staff is nice and efficient.

Did I mention everything is delicious??? Enjoy!!! read more

Tiffany and Nicole are the best. Service was amazing. And they knew the menu like it was their second language.

A great go to for brunch, lunch, drinks and anything in between! I've been coming here for years and their service has always been top notch. read more

Excellent food and service. I went with 5 other people and everyone enjoy they plate, and the nice services of our server. We definitely go back for seconds. Plus you can walk around the nice town of Lafayette read more

This restuarant has some of the most friendly wait staff I've ever met. We immediately felt at home, and so cared for. The second time we came we were immediately recognized and our waiter had us laughing. My husband loves the Fried chicken Sandwich and gets all the bonus sauces with it. My Dad loves the impossible burger. The milk shakes are to die for. There's really something for everyone! read more

The restaurant is good but Gustavo makes this place worth visiting. After a long pandemic of being stuck indoors, I think we're all feeling that itch to get out and have some fun but customer service these days has given way to pandemic protocol and it often feels like service stuff treats you like you're lucky to even be there. Gustavo is personable, attentive and made our dinner a great experience. I don't usually post reviews but I had to give him a shout out because it was such stand-out service. Check this place out. They have a great (very eclectic) menu and if you request Gustavo as your server, you literally cannot go wrong. read more

The strawberry shake was yum - and a good portion. Fully Enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak. We sat outside on a beautiful California day, the outside heaters were on which made it extra toasty and comfortable! read more

Been going here for years now and the food is always consistent and on point! Their Memphis dry wings and kale salad with Nashville fried chicken are my go to orders. Oh and the duck and cheese fries. Recently tried out their taco Tuesday menu which is super good too. Great cocktail selection with friendly service every time. Definitely my favorite place to go anytime I'm in Lafayette. read more

This is our go to place when we're out dining with our entire family including our one and three year old. Their food is delicious, everything we've ever tried there has been so good, kid's love their mac n cheese (so do I) and also great fresh cocktails and beer selection. Love the garlic parm fries and best milkshakes around. We went today and sat on the comfy patio, our server Nicole was awesome, so friendly, excellent service, food was quick...and she was super sweet (and patient) with our kids. If you need a good family friendly spot this is it! read more

We've been coming here for years and have had nothing short of exceptional service each and every time. Trevor and Nicole are especially great! They're super personable and have impeccable attention to detail. Their hospitality is second to none. The food is always super fresh and flavorful. The entire staff as a whole is extremely friendly and welcoming. They are very accommodating with special requests and lots of allergy friendly options. I cannot recommend this restaurant or their incredible staff enough. Come for a unique, tasty drink or a delectable bite- you will not be disappointed! read more

Another terrific meal shared with friends today at Batch & Brine! Especially yummy was the "grown up grilled cheese" with short ribs, amazing! Big shout out to lovely Nicole, our server, who made a point of remembering our drink orders and our names. We'll be back soon! Lisa, Peter and Maria read more

This is one of our regular spots, but we haven't been back since dining started up again in the area. We were seated promptly and served delicious drinks without delay. My boyfriend has his favorite, the Lulu Melon, and I had Something with Vodka. Both amazing! Dinner was fantastic, as well, and our server Gustavo had personalized recommendations at every turn. We enjoyed our salads and shared the "lil burger" sliders, then had a pudding for dessert. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks for a great date night! read more

One of my favorite weekend brunch spots to go to. They have great outdoor seating and delicious food that's consistently good! read more

Batch & Brine - Pastrami sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, California

Good food & fun to sit outside when the weather is accommodating! They also do take out which was a real plus a few weeks ago...

We had an awesome lunch here today. I joined the waitlist before heading out and got seated right away when we arrived. The outdoor seatings were spacious, comfortable, and under the shade. Our server, Nicole, was absolutely fantastic! Our friend has lactose intolerance and egg allergy but he wanted to try out the weekend brunch menu. After knowing his dietary restrictions, Nicole took it seriously that she went back to the kitchen to ask the main chef what he could order. We also requested the house fries substituted with sweet potato fries. Nicole marked all our special requests and made sure all were correct. She's so thoughtful and wonderful to work with. All the food came out delicious and in generous portions. We couldn't wait to dig in and forgot about taking pictures of the food. All in all, it's a really great dining experience and we would love to return! read more

Had the most delicious lunch outside on the patio. Nice to see such a solid beer menu as well. read more

Batch & Brine - Duck & Cheese Fries Grown Up Grilled Cheese B.L.T.S. - Burgers Near Me - Lafayette, California

The food and drinks here are deliciously unique. Everything we ordered was a 9 or 10. The prices are very reasonable for what you get. We visited on happy hour so the drinks came with a small discount. They are a little small but super yummy. read more

I love this place. I can't have enough of the food. Awesome customer service. Clean. Presentation of the food is top notch. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

So glad we finally checked this place out. Seating is a little tight but the food made up for it. We started with their buffalo wings with house made bleu cheese...they were smoky and tasty...very unique compared to the typical Frank's lathered wings you always get when you order wings at restaurants. We had some Nashville hot chicken sliders which we initially thought tasted almost burnt because of the hit oil they used . We mentioned it to our waitress and she told her manager who went into the kitchen and made them make a fresh batch of the hot oil and a new set of sliders for both me and my wife. He came out and apologized. The new ones were bomb! We also ordered a large pastrami fries which were super good too. They covered their hand it fries with house brined pastrami and cheese sauce. Definitely try these when you are here. Even though there was a little confusion with my beer order, they fixed it for me. They took care of me and my wife and we definitely left happy that we had that dining experience. We will definitely be going back! read more

Love this place. Tall slender bartender is always super friendly and makes the best "Serrano mi Hermano"... was almost 5 stars but the teenage pop music was about to make my head explode. This is a nice lounge atmosphere in Lafayette. Give us some nice classic rock or something more appropriate please... unless the point is turning over tables faster? read more

Batch and Brine good if you're meeting friends and need a place with alcohol and food. The setting is nice but in the 4 times we have been our food has just been meh - it's quite expensive for food that doesn't make my heart sing. read more

Fire burgers and chicken sandwiches...place has some great signature cocktails as well...you have to try it out if you're in the Lafayette area read more

Could not ask for better service. Our waiter was very attentive and offered great recommendations. The cocktails were delicious and food was amazing. Nice vibe and outdoor seating available. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Love love love Batch & Brine! I never been to the city of Lafayette but this place is definitely a hidden gem! Absolutely beautiful atmosphere filled with good vibes, good food and good drinks! There is a happy hour menu so that's a plus for people getting off of work at 5 and want to grab something quick to eat or a drink. The menu has such a variety of foods to try that it was hard picking what you wanted. We got the duck banh mi sandwich and lamb burger and we highly recommend it. Also the Camomilla and Boulevardier for cocktails- highly recommend. Thank you to the awesome staff that served us, great customer service! read more

OMFG THE orange creamsicle shake is hands down the best milk shake I've ever had. I also had the sliders I'm not sure what sauce they use but it is really good. Also the garlic fries had soo much flavor. My experience was definitely great. read more

Went here for dinner tonight around 7. Around 10pm I started feeling nauseous and by 11pm I was throwing up. Puked damn near everything in my stomach until 11:30pm. It's almost midnight and my stomach feels like shit. I'm pissed they served me bad food. The food handling was most likely incorrect, and the kitchen's temperature control was probably poor. I had the chicken sliders. When people get sick from a restaurant it's usually due to the proteins, so either the chicken was bad or the slaw was bad. Will be calling the manager tomorrow to demand a 100% refund. We will most likely never return. Spent 60 bucks on dinner for two people and the food was bad, literally. Their kitchen staff may wanna consider brushing up on ServSafe and food handling skills. Update: Spoke with the manager and he was very attentive and amicable. We appreciate his time. He gave us a refund and explained their cooking process for the chicken. I hope no one else got sick bc I'm still not feeling 100% good. read more

Great burgers and fish and chips! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was due to the service. Quite strange in that the young lady kept walking away as we were trying to order. Then when we paid she didn't give us our credit card back. ? Regardless we were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. I highly recommend the Sierra burger. The others I was with had the au poivre and the mergez - both fabulous! read more

I'm surprised it took me so long to try this tasty neighborhood joint. TVs, good drink selection and yummy food. We ordered everything from burgers, to Banh Mis, to the kale salad. All were delish but the Kale salad could use a little work as it was pretty basic with breadcrumbs instead of croutons. Also, breakfast is only served on weekends. Looking forward to trying it next time. read more

It was my first time visiting Batch & Brine and I have to say the experience was beyond amazing! From food to service. My server Karla was beyond wonderful super friendly and always checking on us with a smile! She made this first time experience a great one!!! The food I ordered which was the philly roll and side of garlic parm fries was delicious. All the ingredients seem to be blamnced with no flavors overpowering another and left me with a happy stomach!! I will definitely be back for another visit as I look forward to try more items within the menu! read more

Great food and vibe. Perfect location for a cozy date night or an amazing brunch. Definitely must go again!

I cannot wait to go back to this place. They have a whole gluten free menu, gluten free buns, and a dedicated fryer so I didn't have to worry about cross contact. The blue cheese burger was amazing and so were the garlic fries (which the food runner brought out to me after a mix up without me even ASKING) and it was so nice to enjoy a gluten free meal out. The wait staff was was friendly and helpful and we got our food so quickly ... I'm honestly really impressed! read more

Had dinner with friends, and stumbled upon this restaurant. I had heard of this place, so I was excited to try them. The hostess was sweet, and another employee (maybe manager?) was also friendly upon entering. Our waiter came and took our drink orders right away. Then I looked at the menu. Unfortunately, we all were not expecting this place to be a burger joint. No problem...we all found something we liked. I ordered the Blue - whipped blue, arugula, fig jam, candied bacon on a pretzel bun. This sounded like a burger I had at a burger competition, so I was excited to try theirs. Unfortunately, it did not hit the marks. The whipped blue was too strong, just a couple few arugula, fig jam too sweet, bacon (didn't taste like candied), the meat was thick and tasty at least. But in the end, a $20 burger should have left me satisfied, and it did not. Nothing bad, but nothing great. I don't see a reason to return. Though service was friendly by all. That I absolutely appreciated! read more

Great ambiance and service but the food is decent nothing extravagant. I would say if you want a great laid back cool atmosphere with good service and bar type of food come here. read more

I don't post reviews very often, but I was honestly impressed by the innovation and creativity behind the bar at this place . . . and I was reminded to post . . . well . . . to be honest, because I noticed we have a "Negative-Nancy" yelp reviewer in common . . . hopefully my kind and sincere words can help drown out her voice. I dined at Batch & Brine for the first time this past fall just before Thanksgiving. While I pondered the menu at a random not-lunch-but-not-dinner hour, the bartender whipped out a jar of home-made cranberry syrup and started concocting some sort of bourbon-based-wonderment in front of my eyes. I can't remember the last time (probably because it's never happened for me before) I watched a bartender in their natural creative element as they kicked the tires on the recipe of such a truly creative (and delicious - I got to try it) new cocktail as it was being vetted for the menu . . . I trust it was complete luck that I was at the right end of the bar on a relatively quiet day to witness and experience this stroke of creative genius, but all the same, it is this true demonstration of the spirit (no pun intended) of the craft that I feel warrants a little accolade. Whether you like what ends up on the menu at this place or not, I do believe the staff here truly care and seem to be putting forth their best efforts to bring something genuine and unique to the culinary and bar tending experiences available to those of us living here in the Lafayette area. read more

The burger was amazing.The cheeseburger was gooey. The spicy chicken was really good with waffle. Reviewed by my son
