This crab sandwich alone is worth the trip to Lafayette. 🦀🤤 From brunch to dinner, Batch & Brine is the kind of place that works for any craving. @batchandbrine My favorites: 🦀 Don’t Be Crabby Sandwich – easily one of the best crab sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. 🥩 Steak Frites – perfectly cooked, tender steak with crispy fries. 🍸 Craft cocktails that paired perfectly with our meal. 🥤 And we couldn’t leave without grabbing a couple of their milkshakes to go. If you’re searching for a spot for your next date night or weekend brunch, Batch & Brine is one you’ll want to add to your list. 📍Batch & Brine – Lafayette, CA #BatchAndBrine #Lafayette #crabsandwich #dinner #eastbay

The food was delicious; it was the best chicken sandwich I've had in a while. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu, and I really appreciated their guidance on what to order. Everyone at our table really enjoyed their meal.

Overall experience was 3.5 but I rounded up to 4 because service was terrific and staff were very attentive. Food was standard Americana or pub style food and looked great but flavors were somewhat bland. Overall prices were high for the food. I don’t think I’d return on my own but wouldn’t resist coming if someone else’s choice.

Hi Mandeep, thank you for being so kind about our service and staff! We hope you will give us another chance to impress you soon. We have a few things up our sleeve for fall. Also, I hope you let us know when you are here if something is less than amazing so we can improve it on the spot. We're always ready to figure out a way to make guests leave happy!
