The menu here is gigantic. Lots of selections for both breakfast and lunch options. It was PACKED but we didn’t have to wait long for a table. Service was prompt. I had an omelette and pancakes; my friend had a skillet with hash browns and pancakes. Prices were reasonable. I don’t live in this area, but if I did I would come back!

Almost passed this place up because we were pressed for time, and pancake houses at 9 am on a Saturday typically involve long wait times. We were seated right away, our server Christine was very prompt and friendly, our food was unexpectedly quick(and tasty), coffee was fresh, and they had Sriracha! Very clean and fresh décor, wish we lived closer.

What a surprise! This place is really a great place for brunch. The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. The biscuits taste like someone’s southern grandmother made them. My waffle was awesome, good bacon. my bf didn’t love his jambalaya omelet but let’s face it, that’s a risky dish. The service was friendly. The ambience was typical breakfast /brunch spot. They do have an area in the front where the doors open(I think maybe it was a fire station before). that is probably really nice when it’s warm out. We’ll definitely go back

This place will always get 5 stars from me every visit. The only problem may be the wait because everyone wants to get a piece of the action. The food is fantastic and the service is good to.

This place is really NOTGOOD. We got okay-to-subpar food and terrible service. Perhaps the waitress ignored us because we were kind of in the corner. But after we were served our food, she completely disappeared and I had to go to the hostess in the front to get a manager to get our check. In the beginning, it was like 20 minutes until we could place out order! We were at this breakfast place for almost TWOHOURS. Good Grief. The food… sigh. It was just sad. I ordered a salad with chicken on it and the spinach and fresh spring leaves were on the edge of rotten. There were several that were in that slimey state. The boy got a ham and cheese omlet with hashbrowns, which wasn’t burnt or anything but it was just super bland. Oh, the best is, I ordered the WORST smoothie ever! It was supposed to be the«Sunrise Smoothi» with mixed berries, yogurt, apple juice, but it was blended terribly and tasted about as good as dog kibble. After only a few minutes, the yogurt was curdling and it separated out of the drink, leaving a clear pink liquid behind at the bottom. If you feel like searching, I uploaded an image here. Please, please Unilocalers– try other breakfast places! There’s Omega down the street that is at least a 3-star, or go to Great American Bagel! Both are pretty close to this location.

The outside parking lot was PACKED!!! On a Thurs at 10am, this was a good sign to me. We walked in to a bubbly warm welcome and were asked booth or table? We requested a booth & were seated promptly. The facilty is really nice and trendy looking. 1 waitress came & took our drink orders, 2 Bellini’s, then another waitress came right back & took the order AGAIN. Ok a lil confusion there, but no worries. So we mulled over the menu & I got frustrated because I couldnt decide. Settled on ham, bacon, & apple french toast. Food came out in about 12mins. I was eager to dive in when I noticed my knife was dirty & had old food. I told the waitress & got a new knife. Picked up my fork it was dirty too!!! OHWHATTHEHELLNOW… So I grab another fork from another table & dig in. food was pretty good. The apple french toast left something to be desired. My waitress was ok too, she did seem a little rushed. I probably would go back because I love the drink options lol DJM.

Been here a few times for breakfast on Sundays. We always ask for no salt and potatoes extra crispy. The no salt request is usually fine, but what is so hard about cooking hash brown potatoes? We have had to send back the potatoes back TWICE to be cooked more. They come out looking like they were just thrown on the grill, flipped, taken off, and plated. And the grease on the plate is awful! We will probably NOT be going back for breakfast on Sundays. I will say that the service has been good the few times we were there.

Went here to try something new I had the corn beef skillet and I had asked if the corn beef was fresh or out of a can they said they made it fresh ever morning so I got that and pancakes when it arrived I could tell the corn beef was fresh. Fresh out of a can and the amount of grease in the plate could have changed the oil in my car. Then went to the pancakes as others have wrote the pancakes were like cardboard. My wife had egg scrambler as she puts it bland. As for the coffee and service was good. If you had a choice between here and somewhere else go for the else.

I love trying new breakfast spots and this didn’t Make the cut. Food was alright. My skillet was pretty good but pancakes were burnt and dry only could have one unpleasant bite. Asked for a Normal request for my drink and that was a let down as well. Service was below for me. They were great about making sure your coffee was filled but to have to ask for napkins multiple times before you bringing them isn’t okay. Also had a Long hair in my skillet, jt was the cherry on top for our experience. Had higher hopes for this place but most likely won’t return. There are plenty of other great breakfast places in the area.

I ordered the veggie skillet without eggs and added avocado. The avocado was perfect. The potatoes may or may not have been fresh. I’m not sure. The rest of the veggies definitley tasted frozen. I don’t think I’d choose to eat here again. They do have an espresso machine. Decaf is an option but bovine milk alternatives are not.

Not bad. Service was ok. Would have been nice if waitresses or hostess would walk around with coffee refills. Had to ask each time — other waitresses would walk past and not offer. When I was a waitress in years ago, that would have gotten you reprimanded. Food was decent but wasn’t piping hot. I would go if I was in the area but not make a special trip

We arrived at a good time on a Saturday morning, they were busy, but we had no wait for a table and only a minute for a booth to be cleared. Yay! I had to try the Dutch Baby, and out waitress alerted the table that it would be 30 minutes and asked if we wanted to time it so that we all got our food at the same time — I made them all wait for me. My older son tried the Floretine crepes, younger kid did the Blueberry pancakes, Hubby ordered normal pancakes. Everyone was very happy with their food, the Dutch baby was pretty good, they have carafes of water with lemon on every table, nice touch!

After reading a number of less than great reviews, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of service, food, and price. To be clear, this isn’t some absolutely amazing breakfast, but it’s pretty darn good, isn’t expensive, and is in an area where there aren’t really any other good options. Came with a party of 6, waited maybe 10 – 15 minutes on a Sunday morning, and ended up having a real good breakfast that left everyone happy and didn’t cost too much.

Went here on Valentine’s weekend! We came at prime time also, like around 11am, and we would of thought we had to wait but we were seated IMMEDIATELY! That never happens! So at that point, my day started off well :) Then we had this lovely lady, that provided great service and was attentive with us! I had order the skillet and my boyfriend had a spinach and feta omelette, he ordered waffles with his and I had pancakes with mine! The food, also came out surprisingly fast and the food was GREAT! I did order my hash browns to be extra crispy, but they weren’t. That’s ok, cause overall my experience was great, and one little mistake wasn’t going to sour my mood. We also ordered orange juice, they were freshly squeezed over at the juice bar. I also, LOVED the format and how they designed the whole restaurant! It was aesthetically pleasing! We will be back, hopefully soon!

Another Greek diner; nothing more, nothing less. I will say the owner was very nice when I walked in. He was friendly and offered me the newspaper and coffee right away. As for the food, this is where it went wrong. I ordered one of their chicken and vegetable scrambles with egg whites and fresh fruit, no hash browns. First off, they made it with egg beaters, not egg whites which was disappointing. The chicken was sooo over cooked and dried out! The rest of it had an off taste, which did govern me. Later to find out that I think it may not have been sanitary? I did have a stomach later in the day, which I’m pretty was from here. The reason for two stars instead in one, the service. Won’t go back, as quality is everything to me.

This is Butterfields newest location and it didn’t disappoint too much. I went had breakfast mid breakfast when they should’ve been the busiest and they were busy and I were still able to sit me and my friend down in like 10 minutes when he told me was 15 that was really good customer service right off the bat. I like how they have a diverse menu of omelettes skillets pancakes what have you. I decided to go for the bacon brie cheese and fig. Not gonna lie that was really delicious. A lot more bacon then you would aspect as well. The cheese was a bit overwhelming though. If they would use half the cheese that would be in the perfect omelette. They are in over the cheesy grits and their cheesy grits did not disappoint. A friend just got regular grits and I told him you got to get the cheesy grits they’re good. He tried him and thought yeah now I know why my mom might come get these cheesy grits. The service is really good. Even though they parked assume that quarterback corner which on a nice day might’ve been OK because the windows would’ve been opened but this time it felt like I was in time out. But only knock on this visit was the coffee. I like coffee a lot. And this coffee tasted a cross between Starbucks and something other than Starbucks. It was fresh coffee but it didn’t have the taste of fresh coffee. Almost going to burn. And at three dollars for a cup of coffee i’m going to expect more. The whole reason they got four stars and the five stars is because the coffee and the price the taste and the price. Pretty sure next time I go I’m just going to have water. Sidenote, my buddy guy at the Popeye omelette in that cycle is good no two things about it that was a good omelette. The Decour the place is really really nice. Not sure who designed it but they did a great job. The lay out of the restaurant is open tho it did not get so well that you would notice that

One of the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. We were seated right away although it was crowded. Our waitress Erica was super nice and patience with me as I modified my skillet request. The restaurant is extremely clean. I normally don’t sit next to the kitchen or bathroom when I’m dining out but we were seated next to the kitchen and I was completely comfortable. The kitchen staff was operating smoothly and there was no food or liquid on the floor like some restaurants have. Thanks fellow Unilocalers, it was your positive reviews that brought me here :-)

I’ve been to Butterfield’s a few times now. The food is good, nothing special, just your usual breakfast and lunch items. Service is just ok too. I usually feel rushed when I come, like they want people in and out, which I understand when the place is full, but I’d like to enjoy my food. I will say that this restaurant is better than Pulp Kitchen which used to be there. The wait isn’t horrible on the weekends, last time I was there on a Sunday, it was a 10 minute wait. It’s good to have another breakfast option around here.

Not a breakfast person. I only say that as I might not be the very best person to rate this place but more writing my experience from it. Breakfast places usually don’t excite me as I can basically cook the same thing at home. Eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes a bowl of fruit and if you’re lucky fresh squeezed orange juice. My problem started with this place before I even ordered. Stains on glass of water and water pitcher… asked for a cleaner glass… and got a new glass… with fewer stains. I’m now second guessing is the waiter giving me «this dude is going to be a problem» as I didn’t get the same smile she gave to her other two nearby tables from that point on. Frittata– Gotten the South of the boarder.(Chorizo, peppers, avocado, tomatoes, jalapeño cheese.) It was hot but to keep it short just didn’t care for it. Ate only half and didn’t ask for it to be wrapped up. Pancakes — They were nice and fluffy but again no «wow these are the best», but more like past the syrup so I can get these things down. Half way into eating my pancakes as I rotated my plate around my fingers came across a hard food surface stuck on the edge of the plate. It was white so at first glance you don’t really notice it but the dishwasher didn’t get off. harden mash potatoes, Alfredo sauce? Who knows, but this just only added to me not liking this place. Overall I take it they do put in work to «clean» daily. However my dishes was not clean, Visual the places looks really nice and that’s really what brought me here in the first place. Food wise. I would never order the frittata again but would possible try the crêpe or French toast. but this is of course comes with if I would ever come back again which I find would be kind of hard. It was a complete miss for me.

All 3 of us gave our meals 5 stars. The parking lot was full so I was expecting to have to wait for a table but we did not have to wait. The restaurant is loud. Really, really loud. Our server was very friendly. Even though it was crowded our food came out quickly. We loved the hamburger, fries and coleslaw. The hash browns with 2 scrambled eggs were delicious. It seemed like the hashbrowns were made from scratch. I had the strawberry cheesecake french toast. It was great. We’ll return to this restaurant.
