Nestled in the Heights, Buttermilk Baby offers a colorful escape with retro decor and a menu full of comforts like decadent soft-serve and hearty diner favorites.
"Ben Berg’s playful rendition of the vintage soda fountain shop makes diners feel like a kid in a candy shop. Buttermilk Baby’s eye-catching interior boasts vibrant hues, a life-sized carousel horse, an oversized sundae statue, and a charming ice cream bar with a sprinkle-filled center. Not only are buttermilk biscuits available, but the entire menu is kid-friendly with options like chicken sandwiches, burgers, chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, and grilled cheese. The true draw here is the dessert — Buttermilk Baby is the first Texas purveyor of Carvel ice cream. Choose from indulgent ice cream sandwiches, cakes, and soft serve, or an adult-only boozy milkshake." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley
"Ready for a dose of nostalgia? Located in M-K-T in the Heights, this cute and colorful family-friendly hangout serves Carvel’s iconic soft-serve ice cream, cakes, milkshakes, boozy creations, and comforting diner-style fare among its kitschy, vintage-style decor. Settle in next to its soda fountain or under its massive ice cream sundae sculpture while digging into stacks of buttermilk pancakes and stuffed biscuit concoctions for breakfast. Buttermilk’s lunch and dinner menu is just as enticing, with buttermilk and Southern-fried chicken sandwiches, baskets of tenders, smash burgers, corndogs, and hot dogs made with Texas wagyu beef. Then, unwind with a boozy Bailey’s Oreo shake while swinging on the patio in one of its pink cloud chairs." - Brittany Britto Garley

"The Berg Hospitality Group’s reign of restaurants continues with Buttermilk Baby. This all-day diner in the Heights serves nine different biscuit-based dishes for breakfast, including a french toast chicken biscuit. As for the rest of the day, it’s all about the handhelds, like chicken sandwiches, smashburgers draped in bacon, and corndogs. You can choose from 10 flavors of Carvel ice cream or one of their boozy milkshakes if you prefer your dessert to be liquified." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"The Heights’ newest all-day cafe and soft-serve ice cream shop offers pumpkin treats throughout October.

The food menu offers a variety of hearty treats, like biscuit sandwiches, buttermilk pancakes, smash burgers, milkshakes, and ice cream creations of all types." - Brittany Britto Garley
