Batter & Berries South Suburbs

Stopped by for a birthday brunch with my husband. For a Monday morning, the place wasn't crowded, yet my party of 2 and 3 other separate parties were waited long periods to be acknowledged and seated. We both ordered off of the "specials" for today menu. I tried the open faced brisket - very good. They no longer serve iced coffee here, per the server, so I ordered a cranberry juice. Never got that juice, but I was still charged. Good eats, but pricey. Clean establishment inside and out. Minimal parking due to small lot, shared with other businesses. Easy to read menu and order placement.

Absolutely loved this brunch experience in the suburbs of Chicago. Reservations aren’t accepted however the wait was about 30minutes for a party of 7. My party was running a lil late and I decided to sit at the bar and have a brunch bowl. The bartender/server was engaged and also knew the name of party that I was waiting to be seated for. So this place communicates amongst each other to make sure their guests are accommodated. I really didn’t get to look over the menu because everything the waitress said as daily specials sounded so delicious. I got the lamb chop breakfast which was a special that came with cheesy potatoes and eggs. I even got a side of wild berry French toast. Service 5, Food 5, Dining experience 5

I'm in the mood for breakfast stop by here. I looked over the menu and went with the Strawberry French Toast. These were decent you get four covered in strawberries and light covered in powdered sugar. What took these to another level was the butter thou...it was kinda had this cinnamon-type flavor ion know just was addictive. But overall the french toast was decent still 8.4. Customer service was cool but kinda slow as there was much traffic in the place. Overall the spot was decent hate to see it when it's busy 8.2.

I wholeheartedly recommend Batter and Berries. Marcia was our waitress and her customer service is absolutely amazing. She is phenomenal. The hostess at the front was very welcoming and kind. I’d been wanting to try it for a long time and it was definitely worth the wait. The blueberry french toast, eggs, and cheese hash browns were delicious. I will definitely return. Thank you all for an outstanding first time experience!!

This past weekend, I had the sweetest little brunch date at Batters and Berries in Olympia Fields with my mom and my boyfriend’s mom — and let me just say, it was worth every second of the wait! First things first: the service was STELLAR. Our server was an absolute angel — patient, kind, and so knowledgeable! We asked a lot of questions (oops ), and he answered everything with a smile. Not to mention, they kept the coffee coming... and coming... and coming. ☕️ We each had 2-3 cups because it was that good. Smooth, warm, and the perfect cozy brunch companion. My boyfriend’s mom went classic with the traditional breakfast, and her review? Crispy bacon perfection and an all-around “delicious!” from her. A simple dish done oh-so-right. Now for the stars of the show: the French Toast Flight and salmon croquettes. 💃 My mom and I split the French toast flight and it was a total flavor fairy tale. Each piece was a dreamy little slice of heaven — lemon, caramel walnut, strawberry, and blueberry. Every bite was soft, sweet, and bursting with flavor. Honestly, we didn’t even have a favorite because they were all that girl. Then came the salmon croquettes (a special that day) and BABYYYYY let me tell you — those croquettes did not come to play! They were packed with salmon and seasoned to perfection. Crispy on the outside, flavorful and tender on the inside… just chef’s kiss all around! I’m SO excited to have found a brunch spot this good in my new neighborhood! Coming from the city and moving to the burbs I was scared I would have no options. I can’t wait to come back with my boyfriend and my brunch crew. 🥰

Overall good food experience. I would return for the French toast. We also had the biscuits and gravy(not a fan because i like my typical gravy but I'm sure others may like the unique taste of this restaurants version)

Went here for the first time on Sunday and despite having to wait 45 min to be seated, I like that they text you to let you know when your table is ready. Our waitress, Marcia, had great customer service as well. My friend and I ordered the mimosa flights which were honestly just okay. Nothing to run home about but for $20, I can’t complain too much. I also ordered the French toast flight which was really good!! My friend ordered the strawberry French toast and she enjoyed it too! Overall, it was a nice experience here. I think they should expand the building or something to be able to accommodate the many customers they seem to get to try to reduce wait times, if possible.

This was first time at Batter & Berries Restaurant. From the entrance, greeting to the food and drinks everything was pleasing. The staff was friendly. All the food on the tables looked and smelled good and the drinks were unique and flavorful.

My recent breakfast delivery from Batter & Berries in Olympia Fields, IL, was a delightful surprise. Unfortunately, the delivery driver did not ring the doorbell upon arrival. I ordered French toast, an egg omelet, and golden hash browns. The French toast was light and fluffy, featuring a crisp, golden-brown exterior and a luxuriously soft interior. It comes with various toppings, including blueberries, strawberries, walnuts, and a plain option served with a scoop of cinnamon butter, which is perfect for those who prefer a simple flavor. My favorite was the French toast topped with crispy, glazed walnuts. The omelet and hash browns were equally impressive, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Together, they made for a hearty and satisfying complement to the already exceptional French toast. Batter & Berries exceeded my expectations in every way. The freshness and warmth of the food upon arrival, combined with the exceptional quality and taste, made this a breakfast I won't soon forget. The Walnut French toast is a must-try. I highly recommend Batter & Berries and eagerly anticipate my next order.

Just horrible. No waiting area, people standing all over blocking the entrance, reservation system is absolutely messy. Hostess couldn't differentiate between walk in customers vs. those that actually made a reservation online. Everyone quoted 45min-60 minutes. I had a reservation with a confirmation time of 1:15pm, per their own system, yet, still quoted 45 minute wait lol. A man came in to order a carry out order...he was quoted 20 minutes to even place the order...needless to say he walked out also. Can't even sit at the bar to order a drink and accept the long wait for your table...since bar seating is by reservation also, despite only 4 people at the bar. Rest of the bar filled with empty table settings lol. This location maintains the same dysfunction as their Lincoln Park/Lakeview location. 100% do not recommend even trying to patronize this place. It is simply too many great brunch places that have streamlined processes for customers and offers a great dining experience.

I had forgotten that B&B opened a location in Olympia Fields. I popped in on Saturday morning and got turned out. The catfish with eggs and cheesy hashbrowns were outstanding. I ordered the waffle flight also. Strawberry, blueberry, pecan caramel, and lemon. Didn't make any sense to be so blooming delicious. Went back a few Sayurdays later and had the chicken and shrimp alfredo with cheesy hashbrowns and a small order of creme brulee French toast. Full blown turned out. Straight-up yum. This location gets crowded, but there is enough space to accommodate everyone. I like the whole vibe of this location, from the hostess to the servers to the output from the kitchen.

I ordered the smothered chicken topped with gravy, served over eggs, and hash browns with cheese. It was delicious! My husband had chicken sandwiches with fries, which were also very good. Our waitress was friendly and took the time to explain the special of the day. The restaurant was clean, and all the staff were very pleasant.

The Batter & Berries in Matteson had a really nice ambiance, color palette, and the overall vibes were very fun. I got the French Toast Flight which was AMAZING. 10/10 recommend. However, I had a side of two sausage patties which were really dry, and they costed $7.00 which I thought was high. The service was okay, the hostess was super kind and greeted us as we walked in. Our server, Sierra, was kind as well but she never came back after our food was served, only for the check. That being said, our drinks never got filled up again either. My second party had a meal that contained eggs which they didn't make them how he wanted. The prices were a little high for what we got. $50.00 for just two meals, waters, and one orange juice is a little bit higher than a usual breakfast restaurant. I'd like to visit here again in the future to see what their lunch is like. Overall, nice place, good food, and is perfect for a quick meal.

The food was good, reasonably priced, there's a little more space than the NorthSide location & there's a free parking lot.

Excellent food and .We love the super flight,pancakes,Jambalaya omelette and waffles also

This place is phenomenal. I had been wanting to try it for years before I moved away. I happen to be in town for a funeral and went with my sister, niece and great niece. Everyone loved the food, except the greens. My sister wasn't a fan. The fried chicken flavor was a little complex for my 11 year old great niece. I had the pit masters gumbo. It was great!! Then I had the gulf fish ponchatrain with trout, corn maque choux and a bear blanc sauce, a side of red beans to go and shared the beignets. For drink I had a Jameson old fashioned. The only dissatisfaction was when I asked about bread, I was told they only had cornbread, which I don't like. I was surprised there was no toasted French baguettes. I would definitely return. I pictured something a little more casual, and was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and vibe.

I went here for the first time and it was Nice! I order the French toast flight and it was sweet and full of flavor! The service wasn't terrible, we only waited about 10-15 mins for a table after arriving and our waitress was nice! The inside is pretty intimate and the music is very low so it doesn't over power the convos which I loved! I will definitely return!

The French Toast flight is not to be missed! Nothing fancy about this place but the food is amazing!

First time at this location; beautiful purple and gold themed space. Our server M.J. was amazing; she did her thing to make sure everything was good. My drink; blueberry mimosa was pretty good. The food; OMG! The lemon french toast was the best I have ever had. Great with the seafood cakes if you want a little something different. There is a difference between the caramel cake french toast which is infused with a bit of liquor and the caramel french toast which is alcohol free. Both were delicious. Did not try the omelette but was told it was good. I'll be back soon. Looking for M. J.

nice vibe,the waiter Jake was exceptional. And the food was good as always . Great job B&B

What an extraordinary experience! Came here on my way back to my southern home and stepped into this gem. As a Chicago native I appreciated the vibe, it felt like a midday club atmosphere with a well curated playlist of classic house . Every morsel of food that dance across my palette was exceptional. 10 out of 10 would eat here again and recommend My highest compliments to the chef(s)

My cousins and I recently visited this location to celebrate a birthday. We went on a Monday and they were quite busy. Our party was originally told that there would be a 45 minute wait. We ended up waiting over an hour for a table. I ordered the mimosa flight, a sausage omelette and a side of bacon. The blueberry mimosa was my least favorite but I enjoyed the strawberry and apple flavors. I meant to order the gravy that comes with the omelette on the side but I forgot. The gravy had a hint of sweetness, which was unexpected. I wasn't a fan of it on the omelette but I like it when I dipped my bacon in it. I would order the omelette again with the gravy on the side.

I've been going to Lincoln Park location for years. Decided to go with a friend to Batter and Berries suburb location for brunch. Plenty of free parking (parking lot is huge!) The decor is colorful and fun (purple and yellow) We were given a table immediately in outside patio. The place is very large with a full bar and seating on one side and seating on the other side of the establishment. The staff is friendly and responsive to requests of more ice or napkins. Best item on menu is The Flight, a variety of French Toast flavors. Feel free to share the dish, then order a main course for yourselves. Ordered the Fajita chicken omlet (egg white omlet may be ordered) which comes with cheesy hash browns. Everything was delicious! I live closer to Lincoln Park location; the trip to visit friends who were located near the Olympia Fields location was worth the trip. We all had a delightful time!

Oh my goodness. If I could leave 0 stars I would. The service was abysmal. We were a party of 3 and requested to be seated outside since there were tables available immediately. We placed drink orders, two coffees and a round of water. one coffee came, but mine never did. Then about 30 mins later our food came out which would've been great except the hashbrowns were raw. I asked for cooked hashbrowns and condiments. 10 more mins later and a new plate of raw unseasoned hashbrowns came out. Gross. No one here cares about what's being prepared for guests and that's unfortunate considering the price point. I will not be back and I hope this establishment considers paying their staff more and training them better so guests can have an enjoyable experience. Side note, the bathroom was filthy and there were 4 tables with plates that hadn't been bussed on the patio. I'm appalled, and you should be too. I wish we had just gone Lumes.

Look so sooo good! Prices are reasonable customer service was great and there was zero wait time. What more can you ask for?

The food at this location isn't the same at the one up North and the Service could be better but the waitress I experienced today requires more training, the attitude needs some adjusting. I asked for a separate glass of ice from my juice as she sat down our juices I simply reminded her of my ice and her swift response was " Two hands" which meant i can only carry two cups at a time which is understandable but not necessary. Instead she could have simply said no problem i'm bringing it next, this new generation requires way more training than the older generation we were raised with respect. The Ambiance was comforting, but i scratched my itch. I'm okay now.

Love this location. Easy to get a seat. Food is pretty consistent. The French toast is amazing. I typically like the specials like the fried catfish but today I tried the creole omelet and it was incredible. My compliments to the chef!!!!!

The best French toast I've ever tasted! I didn't need syrup, I attended the north side restaurant.

I'm used to going to the one in Lincoln Park but I had a relative in town that was south so I said well let's go where is more convenient and I won't have to deal with morning traffic. I wish I would've just dealt with the traffic. the one in Olympia Field was greatly greatly greatly disappointing. They had no catfish. They had no short ribs. My hashbrowns were like they were cooked the day before and refried my French toast some of it was hard. Some of it was good. The floor was dirty. The seats were dirty. It wasn't that crowded for the waitress not to be able to take our plates away or ask If we were OK ? I will never ever never ever never return to Olympia, Fields and berries to the owner manager, treat us self just the way you treat North and Lincoln Park. We deserve the same service for the same price.

Great food!!!! Better and Berries NEVER disappoints, if you're not come, why drive to the north side when WE have what we need right here...

I enjoy brunch so much. I typically get the crab cake benedict with hash browns. I have to be honest and say, I had to return my hash browns for some more fresher ones before. The server exchanged them with no problem. The mimosa flight and french toast flight are a big deal here. There is no need for syrup on the french toast. If you add it you're just a big back . My favorites are the blueberry, caramel, and lemon french toast. Depending on your budget it's a tad bit pricey, but worth it. Make sure you are added to the wait list before going. I would suggest going during the week, weekends can get crowded.

Food here is seasoned well and tasty. Parking is convenient as the restaurant is in a nice shopping center. Restaurant is small, but it creates an intimate vibe. Music was loud, but not overbearing.

Today was the first day of soft opening I am going to call it. Online and walk in orders to take out. I choose online. Everyone inside was friendly. The place isn't ready for sit down but the change from what it was previously to now is evident. Sunny yellow walls and tables waiting for us to come in. I had a regular breakfast: eggs, bacon, hash browns and a biscuit. Packaged well for take out. Bacon was crispy and I didn't have to ask. Scrambled with Gouda and nice amount of cheese. Potatoes were cooked well and the biscuit was flavorful. We have been waiting for this for a long time so get out and go often!

The food was delicious. When we were looking for a location to host a meetup for our book club... someone suggested here. And I am so glad that we did. We were able to enjoy ourselves and have amazing conversation around food. Our server was awesome. She made sure to accommodate all of the requests made. And when we had to wait a little longer for our drinks, she made sure to make up for it. Our first book club event was made awesome because of the ambiance. And the photogenic atmosphere (the greenery wall) made our day.

The wait was short for one person. Thank you for that. I customized my brunch to more of a vegan dish. No egg or cheese omelette. It was decent. I'll come back and encourage my husband to wait patiently next time. I was sat down within minutes.

Way too pricey. Everything à la cart and the atmosphere isn't the nicest ambience either.

The location is definitely better than the Chicago one but the service is still the same. The waitress will be confused and forget to come back but the French toast is good. I think places like this are overpriced but you go for the ambiance. You'll be charged just for that. Overall, not bad but the service could easily be improved.

The food was ok. I had the Bella Hash and it was way over seasoned and the zucchini was ice cold. Such an odd issue but it was hard to stomach. Cluck and Gravy was oddly sweet. Only ate a few bites. Service was great since it was so busy but probably won't return.

Batter and Berries is an essential and refreshing breakfast/brunch restaurant in the area. As someone who has passed through the area for many years, this place deserves recognition for its menu options. Most locations serving breakfast in the area function as cheap eats with similar boring options. This location served both elevated classics and unique dining choices I can not get at other restaurants close by. After experiencing what this restaurant had to offer, it is safe to say that I will return and recommend it to others. FOOD: I was lucky enough to try 3 breakfast items which I found very pleasant. The first option I tasted was the "Cluck-N-(Goof)". This interesting take on the beloved chicken and waffles hit the nail on the head in every way. The sweet potato waffle was the star of the show maintaining a slightly sweet flavor while being mostly savory. The first bite I took widened my eyes and put a surprised grin on my face. The butter provided was their signature "maple butter" which provides an added layer of richness. I really appreciated that the waffle wasn't too sugary and had a depth of flavor. Too often I see places attempt to jazz up this classic dish by adding a barely noticeable element to the waffle but this place did not suffer the same issue. Next, I had the B&B breakfast wrap which also contributed to my positive experience. The server was kind enough to recommend how to order it and I was more than content with the result. I was told to order it with fried chicken, hot sauce, and gouda cheese, instead of the cheddar it typically comes with. Although I swapped the fried check for chicken sausage as a personal preference. The wrap also contains scrambled eggs and hashbrowns so you will definitely leave full. The wrap was hearty, creamy, and well-seasoned. what made this meal truly special was the hot sauce. MAN WAS IT AMAZING, certainly top 5 best hot sauces I have ever had. It was tangy and flavorful. There was a nutty background flavor that added to the mild heat. It transformed the already good breakfast wrap into a dazzling masterpiece. Adding the sauce in between every other bite made the dish impossible to put down. Finally, I was fortunate enough to try the French toast flight, which is their most popular item. It contained all flavors of French toast including the flavor of the week which in this case was creme brule. It was truly magnificent to taste the different slices which all had their own designs and flavors. The cooks here care about the theme of each French toast flavor. While other places might use artificial flavoring to a neutral syrup or drizzle some caramel over bread, this place took the food to the next level. There was fresh fruit, distinct jellies or marmalades, and most importantly, distinct tastes between each slice in the flight. I loved the plating on the creme brule slice, but I have to say my favorite in taste has to be the blueberry. In regards to service, the server was extremely helpful and polite. She provided recommendations for each section of the menu and really made us feel welcome as first-time diners. It was completely packed in the place and she still managed to make sure we were enjoying our experience while juggling other tables' needs. The inside of the restaurant was also very comforting due to the homie vibe of the dining room and the obviously dedicated kitchen staff you can see in the back. In general, I had a fantastic experience and will be sure to return to try their other waffles and rotating specials. If you live in the area and are tired of the same skillets and pancakes, I highly recommend you come here for some delicious takes on familiar foods.

The service is 5 stars. The caramel French toast is 5 stars. The eggs and hash browns are nothing special but they are good. The pork sausage was spicy and Dry - 2 stars. FYI: The Mimosas are not made with orange juice. Basically, it's flavored Champagne. I did not like the "caramel" apple. However, Jake gave us a small glass of orange juice to add with it. Every thing is a la carte so the bill might get pricey. Overall, I enjoyed the meal.

The food was cold as ice. It was catfish , and it was rubbery., Also the bus boys cleaned and broke down a table next to u,s, and what ever they sprayed cause me and my family to gag and cough profusely. At that pointI I was ready to go for The food. On top of the inattentive service and detail. I hope whatever they used to-clean the table was not toxic with log term effects; because our throats burned for the rest of the day. Worst restaurant I've ever been to. The staff especially the manager, the 2 boys that Rome down the table, and the waitress heart was clearly not in the job. Clearly, I will not be going back there ever in life.

This place was very good. Food was very tasty. I had a blueberry French toast which was maple butter, but then I got a coffee and the coffee. It was like almost 5 dollars the waitress she was OK. She wasn't too attentive . But the food was good different type of ambience for that type of place but I'd go there again

My party of four arrived on a Wednesday at around 11 a.m. We had about a 20-minute wait, which wasn't too bad. Our server was great. Very friendly, personable, and attentive. I've read some of the other reviews, and I'm guessing that the long wait and poor service is on the weekend, when I can imagine, they are extremely busy. I tried the flight of French toast and the special of the day. I'm not a French toast person, but this was delicious. At most places, it's too sweet, but this was light, fluffy, and just enough sweetness. The flavors of the toppings really came through. They also have an outdoor seating area that wasn't open on the day I went, but it would have been nice to sit outside. Overall. I enjoyed it and would return.

This review is for the Olympia Fields location. I started off with a lemon mimosa which was okay. Then I ordered their 'creole omelet' which was not an omelet. It was an egg over easy with the creole sauce on it, but it was good. Hash browns were served along with it. The hash browns were okay. The meal tasted fine, but Batter & Berries needs to make sure what they are describing on the menu is what they serve the customer. This meal was one of their specials. I had coffee after the meal and that was okay too. Service was just okay. I was not offered a refill on the coffee, but the waitress was friendly. They need to work on cleaning their windows at the restaurant because they were pretty dirty.

I took my mom to lunch here and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We ordered the Shrimp Fritatta and the Spinach Omelet. The food was great and the service was A+

I am grateful for the new location. Great service and great menu. I always order from the special because they do the best with seafood for breakfast. I got there a little after 11 and I was able to sit down immediately. The restaurant started getting full around noon for lunchtime.

Just got my order from here. I order/eat A LOT of salads- so I was overly pleasantly surprised when my Batter and Berries that was perfect. Batter and Berries gives you a perfectly layered salad with generous portions of the protein, fruits, greens AND they don't skimp on the dressing This is my go-to place from now on!

Batter & Berries in Olympia Fields was just as good as the one up North. I live 10 mins away and am a food snob so don't take my review lightly! We went on a day where it was -10 degrees outside so we didn't have a wait. The seafood cakes, the lemon French toast, and the steak and omelet was bomb. I honestly think the sides up north are typically meh. I had hashbrowns and sunny side eggs cooked to perfection at this location. I'm glad I didn't take that hike for similar quality food. As far as atmosphere, folks were nice. MJ was our server and she was warm and helpful. I'm so glad we finally got to go here on a slower day. I'm praying they can stay here so we can continue to enjoy bomb food in the burbs!

This was my first time at this location. Much larger than the one in Lincoln Park. They don't open until 9a and there is a line of people in the parking lot that wait for service to begin. The French toast flight is amazing and while I didn't enjoy the chicken sausage they friend chicken breast was the savory balance I needed. I will definitely return. Missing a star because they didn't have the chicken Alfredo omelet I was promised by the staff who made it sound out of this world.

Very good service, clean ,fun interesting and exciting restaurant, food was very good loved very bite. I will return.

This was my second visit MUCH IMPROVED! I was not impressed the 1st time but there has been some improvement or maybe I just caught them before the rush. Either way I was happy with my service and food!

Our waitress Marcia is #1. We not only travel from Indiana for the great food but the A 1 service from Marcia is pure gold. Keep it going and thank you

I've wanted to try Batter and Berries since I heard that the North side location was good. I was really disappointed with my dining experience at the Olympia Fields location. Specifically, the biscuit. The biscuit was hard, dense, tasteless and very disappointing. My sister ordered the chicken and veggie omelette, and the chicken and veggies came on top of the eggs, not mixed in like an omelette, very disappointing.

The food and service were amazing! Not my favorite ambiance, I would still go back in a heartbeat! A little pricey but that won't stop me.

I was really excited that they opened a Batter and Berries in the south suburbs. Having been to the one up north, it's a hassle to drive and park there, plus the wait times. Although the distance and parking was not a problem- I was disappointed that the wait times were just as bad as up north. For a party of two, our wait time was an hour and forty-five minutes!! They need to institute an hour and a half dining like other restaurants that have that type of interest. The food was good - but not worth the wait time.

The server forgot about us after bringing our food out separately. My friends food was soon late she asked for it to go. The lack of service made our visit un-enjoyable. They still added gratuity for poor service. We will not be back.

You try to support local businesses, but this is very upsetting. What should have been a warming and inviting experience turned out to to a horrible first impression! Where do I begin? Yep, 10 minutes later (Ciara) came and took our order with an attitude... unprofessional is an under statement. She stated i don't know who came 1st while talking to 3 tables... no personal service! At this point I'm over it and won't be back no time soon. Food was average and cold upon arrival... smh... look at these lil sausages. They gotta do better!
