Food: Batch New Southern Kitchen & Tap

I've seen dozens of restaurants come and go in downtown West Palm Beach, but one that appears to be doing well even with COVID-19 is Batch New Southern Kitchen & Tap. 

The name says it all - Batch is a modern take on Southern cooking, with familiar favorites like chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and eggs benedict jazzed up with a bevy of overwrought hyphenated hipster flavors. To take one example, the tea-brined chicken is served with cheddar-cornbread waffles, chili-thyme honey, and bourbon-maple butter.

I liked Batch's food and service, though the portions aren't huge and the prices are just as high as everywhere else on Clematis. I do think this is a solid choice and I hope they stick around for awhile.
