"With cheery yellow walls, bright floral artwork, and loaded French toast, Batter & Berries does the feel-good thing well. Families and neighbors are enthusiastically tucked into their meals, likely tackling a French toast flight (yes, we said flight). Just think: You never have to choose between the seasonal offerings, like the lemon-and-sumac toast topped with candied walnuts, or the blueberry version, topped with blueberry cream. Meanwhile, the Cluck-and-Gaufre waffle gets crazy thanks to a sweet potato batter studded with bits of fried chicken, served with a piece of fried chicken and a savory nutmeg hot sauce." - Nicole Schnitzler
