Buttermilk Baby Review - The Heights - Houston - The Infatuation
"Buttermilk Baby is less of an all-day breakfast spot and more of a warped-1950s-nostalgia-funhouse installation at an EDM festival. The only reason to go to this fever dream (or nightmare) from the Annabelle Brasserie folks is to take pictures for social media. The food tastes terrible. The Monte Cristo Biscuit has the texture of something that sat languishing beneath heat lamps. So do the spongy pancakes, as if they are reheated before serving. And while we can appreciate some whimsy, Buttermilk Baby resembles a Lisa Frank-splattered haunted house with its massive ice cream cone table, cloud-shaped swings, and unicorn carousel figurine whose eyes seem full of regret. If you are dragged here, presumably by someone who needs new fairy princess headshots or a five-year-old who loves rainbows, try to sneak in some protein beforehand. Because everything here is a giant pile of sugar, and they even figured out a way to ruin that.

The saddest part is the side of fast-food-style pre-packaged syrup and butter. photo credit: Chelsea Thomas The Monte Cristo Biscuit Everything about this sandwich is awful. From the noxiously sweet biscuit to the pre-made and over-steamed egg cake. You can’t even get eggs made to order or made within the last few hours here. This is a block of sugar and not even a good one." - Chelsea Thomas
