Burger Batch is a solid 3.5 and I think that once they work out some kinks that every new restaurant experiences, they will be a solid 4, hence the rating. I'm being a little generous here, but the burgers and milkshakes rightfully earn that 4 rating.
Burger Batch has been in the makings for a long time, and it was starting to seem like a mythical far away place that would never come into existence. From the great minds that brought you Small Batch, which happens to be connected by a hallway, comes Burger Batch. Burger Batch is a specialty burger and milkshake establishment.
I've been here twice now and had fairly similar experiences. The burgers are tasty and creative, the milkshakes are gut busting, sugary masterpieces, and the service is spotty at best. This restaurant has been open for a little over a month now. It has a very clean, modern, and sleek look. In contrast to Small Batch's dark wood, Burger Batch's neon lights and clean white interior is bright and trendy.
It is a very small place which I think adds to some of its service issues. The first time that we came, we put our name on the list. We were told it would be 40 mins so we decided to go grab a beer next door at Small Batch. They ensured us they would come get us when a table was ready. After waiting for an hour and 15 mins, we finally went to check where we were on the list only to find multiple vacant tables. They had forgotten about us. Big strike that could only be saved by the food.
I've had two of their specialty burgers: The Winston and Morning After. I would highly recommend both of them. The Winston is topped with potato chips, pimento cheese, and onion marmalade while the Morning After is topped with fried egg, fries, bacon, pepper jack, and beer braised onions. The main thing here is that all of these toppings sit on top a burger that is made with quality beef. The sides are also very good, although they do not come with the burger. We've had the Sweet Potato Tater Tots, Fries, and Brussels. The fries are good, especially dipped in their specialty fancy sauce. Also, the Brussels are surprisingly good.
The milkshakes here are absurd. They are not for the faint of heart and are way too much to have on your own. If you are going to get one by yourself don't expect to eat a meal in addition. That will be your meal. We tried "A Nod to a Legend." It was a Peanut Butter Shake, topped with whipped cream, a Krispy Kreme Donut (yes a full Krispy Kreme Donut), and surrounded on the outside of the glass by pretty much a full box of Whoppers. Yes, this is pretty much your calorie intake for a week, so again not for the faint of heart.
I hope that as Burger Batch settles in that the service will rise to the level of the food. I will definitely be back here. Great burgers, great milkshakes, and great beer provided by Small Batch. Support this local business and cross your fingers that they can work through some kinks. read more
