Buttermilk Eatery

They have cute robots that carry your food to your table! The food was actually delicious and at a reasonable price too. We'll definitely go back. The vibe inside is very modern and we really loved how big the portions were. Leftovers of everything

As the other ones Buttermilk Eatery this one is the same excellence average on atmosphere and crew team. With the same modern robot 🤖 servings style and the very kind and friendly employees, always smiling and attentive. A special thanks to Michelle for the very pleasure experience and customer service. With a lot of free parking lot around another good differential with this restaurant. I really appreciate and recommend this place.

This place is an absolute delight! They have robots that deliver your food directly to your table, and you can order anything you want from there. If you prefer a human server, they still offer that option. We tried both, and it worked out perfectly. We ordered mimosas, which were nothing extraordinary, but the prices were fantastic. Our food was delicious enough to share between us. There’s plenty of parking available, so you don’t have to worry about finding a spot.

This was my first visit to this new Eatery in St. Petersburg. To be honest I really was sort of hesitant because I hadn't heard anything about it. So glad that I went ahead and took a chance because it was fantastic! The food was fantastic and beautiful. Everything I put in my mouth went dancing around my taste buds. My only regret was that there were so many things on the menu I wanted to try and I could only do so many items. Definitely will be returning! 1/13 - second visit. Thankfully still great!

Delicious food/breakfast! I’m was very impressed with how advance and futurist it is. I love the robotic waiter bringing your food. ❤️

If you go here for the first time you need to know that this restaurant is technologically advanced. You place your own order on a tablet at the table. A electronic cart brings the food to your table. A waitress will run over to unload it. They will refill your expensive drinks, if soda or water. You MUST pay in advance on the tablet, INCLUDING TIP! Hope you are supposed to judge the service in advance is beyond me. My first experience wasn’t good with service. No one told us what to do. There are no descriptions on the table of the food. If you do promo, they had a bogo choice for a couple meals, there’s no instructions on what you have to do to get it. Turns out you have to order 2 drinks which basically cancels out the price of the meal. The food was good but very À la carte. We had French toast and it didn’t come with any sides. The food was very good. The atmosphere was nice, open and clean. Interesting place to eat breakfast or brunch. Not sure if it will make my regular rotation.

First experience here and absolutely loved it. The food was absolutely delicious, our server, Alexa, is FANTASTIC. She handled us so nicely after we entered not long before closing, and still made sure we were taken care of. Wish every business had an “Alexa”. We ordered the classic Benedict adding avocado with the potato medley and the burger. We so enjoyed our choices. Got such a kick out of the robots that deliver the meals!! The restaurant is so clean and such a great vibe. Enjoyed every part of the experience! Also loved that you can order at the table yourself or place the order with your server. These owners thought of everything!

The vibe of the place is amazing!! The food is reasonably priced for the HUGE amount your given!! Our server Michelle was absolutely incredible!! She made us feel right at home. She was very knowledgeable and helpful!! And even tho a robot (literally) brought us our food Michelle was still very attentive to us!! We can’t wait to come back!! Our 1st experience was definitely amazing!!!

Huge portions and solid food. You might think why are the omelets so expensive? It's because they are huge and if you get a side of pancakes with it, it's basically two meals. When the pancakes came out I expected maybe 1/4 of that size. You can definitely feed two people with one omelet meal. I did end up bringing home the pancakes for my sons. I thought the pancakes were delicious but they didn't care for them. This is more a cautionary tale for future Christina not to get the pancakes just for the kids. The omelet was solid, I got the Mediterranean one. It's good ol fashioned home cooking. I had recently gotten an omelet at Olivia's earlier that week and it's not on that level, but it's exactly what I'd expect to get from here. Ordering is super easy on their touch screens and there is a server that comes around so I felt well taken care of. The robots are a fun touch. Parking is plentiful and the decor is bright and airy. I'm a fan of this place and I'll definitely be back any time I'm looking for a solid breakfast.

Would've given 1 star but honestly the staff was nice and it's totally not their fault but I actually hated how the place is run. You order off of a tablet at your table and it's kind of hard to customize orders... we didn't really have a single server either it was just everyone kind of checking in but my food came out wrong and I didn't really know who to ask which was weird. Food wasn't great. It took forever to get out so by the time it got to me I was HUNGRY but even the it didn't taste as good as I had hoped. Cute interior and outdoor seating! But hated the technology part of it. And it was way too expensive for just two of us. Great staff tho!!! They were super nice and helpful!!! Just not a great experience overall.

Decided to stop by for brunch last weekend. Decent prices, cool idea, but wasn't that good. The pancakes were good, but the rest of our food was bland. Not a big fan or ordering from an iPad, I wish servers were paying more attention to tables. Area around this location is not walkable, but the restaurant is very comfortable inside with a nice, fun vibe.

We visited Buttermilk Eatery for the first time to celebrate a birthday breakfast and it was such a great experience. The service was wonderful and the food was exceptional quality. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. They were happy to light the birthday candle we brought and the little robot assistant even played Happy Birthday, which made it extra special and fun. We left very happy and will definitely be coming back.

The service is amazing and I loved "Robotina". The food is delicious and generous portions The place is comfortable and very inviting, the only thing I didn't like was the country music, but if you like country music, you will enjoy this!

Have you had a robot deliver YOUR food before? At Buttermilk Eatery the service is quick and easy with order at the table options and robot food delivery right to your table! Our group was a party of five and they do have spaces for larger parties, however they had a few larger parties arrive before us unfortunately. With that being said they were STILL able to accommodate us and recommended us to eat at two tables next to each other if we were comfortable so we still felt all together! Thank you so much for the great food and the great service, and we will be back!

Second time here and glad I went out of my way to bring my family this time. The blueberry pancakes are delicious. The corned beef hash and eggs were cooked perfectly. The mocha latte had a lot of chocolatey flavor. Yum!!! We were served our meal on a robot, very quickly after ordering on a tablet at the table. The restaurant is not very noisy for its size.

Good all day breakfast restaurant. You scan QR code to order. A robot delivers your food. Friendly staff. My son loved the chorizo burrito. Bright and basic decor!

Hubby was trying to make time for us to try this place for a while. Was not greeted when we walked in, took a few minutes. The place wasn't busy, there were only two tables occupied by patrons. A lady behind the table finally saw me standing at the entrance and came over to seat me. There is a robot that brings out your drinks and food. You place your order on an app at the table also. I ordered pancakes, eggs and bacon. As cute as the place is I did not enjoy my breakfast. My bacon texture was like brisket, my pancakes soaked up the syrup as quick as put it on each time. Unfortunately Buttermilk Eatery was not to our liking.

My new favorite breakfast spot! The food is delivered by a machine with a waitress, the food is such good breakfast food! And the vibes inside are perfect for a quick hit with breakfast. The owner is so friendly and efficient ready to sit everyone who came in and helped bus tables, we will be back!

First time here and very good everything. Service was great from the humans. Robot brings your drink and a different robot brings you your food. Clean nice friendly staff. You have to pay right after your order on the screen. I will bring my wife here next time

Not for me. The food was good but you place your order and pay before receiving the food, only 2 people on the floor, front was a mess, writing your name on scratch paper and give you a number, very disorganized, they skipped us but I was watching and told them. My meal alone was 19 dollars without a drink, paying more for us to do everything, no thanks

I met a friend here for breakfast. It's a very open, clean and welcoming space. The best part. They have robots being the food! We enjoyed the service and friendliness of the staff. They do serve some alcoholic beverages. We both enjoyed mimosas of course. We will be back!

My first time here and I'm already impressed! Soon as I walk in I was greeted and told I could seat myself however recommended a window seat which was great! I ordered a mimosa and hot coffee along with the French toast scrabble egg with bacon and sausage links. The coffee is amazing no bitter taste smooth. To my surprise my food was brought to the table by a robot! Omg! Just amazing! I was in disbelief but amazed! Buttermilk Eatery is decorated beautifully and clean. If you are ever in the area or haven't tried Buttermilk Eatery I highly recommend it! You will not be disappointed. To all the staff and management thank you for the fabulous service I received on my first visit. I will be back! Slainte!

Food was good with large servings. Service was provided by a robot. First for me. I didn't really dig it, as i prefer the human interaction. Vibe was relaxing. Order and pay right at the table was convenient.

This was such a cute and fun experience! First off, the service is so special because not only do you get a server but a robot brings you your food and drinks! You basically order from the table and the robot delivers it! I thought this was the coolest thing ever! Also the portions are huge, I recommend sharing the pancakes! They're so delicious but they're HUGE! I couldn't finish my meal but I still enjoyed everything!

Not sure why this place has any bad reviews... I've been here 6+ times and the experience has been pleasant every time. The staff is super nice and very attentive. Yes, you have to use your phone to pull up the menu and order digitally (they also have iPads now), WHICH I LOVE. It's super convenient. If you come with a large group, it's easy for everyone to order and pay for themselves OR just order under one check. People complaining about it need to embrace the technology or dine somewhere else. The food is always tasty and fresh off the griddle. I enjoy my Lattes scorching hot and the waitress always makes sure it's perfect :) The little robot that delivers the food is awesome too, and I love the fact that the waitress still comes over to take your food off of the robot so everyone isn't leaning and touching the plates. The new layout of booths vs tables is nice... just might be a little concerning on the weekends when it gets super crowded.

The bacon and pancakes were delicious. The berry cakes were delicious, but the eggs were just so plain the eggs just had no flavor. There was no to go silverware, salt or pepper. My dog didn't even wanna touch the eggs. I think what could improve here was as some flavoring to the eggs. Don't let them taste like fake plastic.

Pancakes and omelette were both undercooked. Didn't know we'd be ordering off of a computer screen. Found the process frustrating. We had questions about the menu and items offered and there was no one to answer them.

Buttermilk Eatery tries to modernize the breakfast experience with touchpad ordering and a robot waitress. The robot waitress, while speedy, lacks the warmth that human service offers. The food is decent, but not outstanding. It's a fine place for a quick, no-frills breakfast. The overhead speakers were playing rap music with vulgar language.

Pricey food for mediocre food and customer service doesn't reflect the prices. Pancakes are run of the mill, nothing special, actually ihop or Dennys has better pancakes. First and last time coming to this place. Robot was interesting to see but think food would be delivered a lot better if someone just brought it to you when food is still hot. Be prepared to spend $$ at this place for average taste.

While the outside of the restaurant looks like the place may be abandoned, don't be fooled. You're in for a treat inside. The food is absolutely delicious. The pancakes are incredibly light, fluffy, and full of taste. Top it off with their house syrup and you can't hardly do better for breakfast. I got the Philly Steak Skillet because we went for lunch and I wanted something more meaty. Skillets aren't my usual go-to, but the steak and eggs were both well cooked and flavorful as well. And don't be scared by all the technology. While there is an online ordering system, there are paper menus and also human servers who can take your order and check you out. A definite must go back for me. My mouth is watering just writing this review.

Great food and great portions. It was a little confusing at first, it's an order yourself kind of restaurant and the devices for ordering weren't working at 2 of the tables ...but third table was the charm. Now that I know what to expect I would go back. Just be prepared there's not a dedicated waitress coming to answer questions and helping navigate the menu. But be bold and ask questions and my experience was they were very nice and helpful when asked. 4 stars. The -1 was due to the lack of communication and help when we sat down. It would have been helpful had someone sat us and asked..."is this your first time". Instead we were told to find a table our selves and then no one came and we had to figure out....oh we don't have a waitress. lol. Edited to add... the fact that they ask for a tip BEFORE you even get water or coffee or your food is so crazy to me, especially since there's no server!!! Basically you're tipping the owner I guess.

Went to Buttermilk's for breakfast, the name evoking a homey experience. When we arrived on a Saturday the restaurant was half full and we were greeted warmly by one server who seemed very busy. We sat at our booth and figured out customers are meant to use a touch screen or QR codes to access the menu. Then we noticed there was a robot server. Major bummer and a ridiculous gimmick. In a time when people want connection in their service experiences, they need to read the room. At that point we ordered a single biscuit, which is what drew us to this place. $5.00. You would assume that if a restaurant is leveraging technology and efficiency, it would be reflected with lower prices - that was not the case. We received our biscuit, it did not taste homemade and it was extremely hot and rubbery - as if it had been microwaved. The one server was very nice. We have no reason to go back to this eatery - cold vibe, weird gimmick.

I've been wanting to try this place for ages and finally found myself in the area! So glad we stopped in. The place is so cute! Very clean and appealing. The service was unique. You border on a laptop, and food is delivered by robot. So fun. Of course there's waitstaff abs they are attentive and friendly! Finally the food was delicious!!! Will go back!

We've been here a few times in the past, just went recently after their remodel. It looks even better inside and more seating was installed. My kids love the robots that give food. Staff is super knowledgeable polite and welcoming, prices are pretty decent, food is really good. Recommend stopping by if you're in the

Came here for my birthday this morning :) I ventured out to St. Pete because I wanted to go to the beach after breakfast! First of all, I was amazed by their robot servers lol. I could not stop looking at them and trying to figure out how they work. Their process of ordering on a screen is very different - as a service industry professional myself, the technology definitely takes the personable aspect out of it, but the concept is fun! They had lots of unique options foods with the option to customize anything you get. I got a scramble that had a hash brown base that was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try other menu options!

Never heard of this place, we were driving by and decided to stop. It's open for breakfast and lunch, but make sure you come hungry! The portions are huge. You order from the tablet at your table, pay your bill and then your food is brought to you by a robot, yes a robot assisted by a human. I was pretty amused, I can only imagine what kids would think. The restaurant was super clean, very tastefully decorated and reasonably priced. I would definitely visit again.

Just tried this and we were pleasantly impressed. Portions are HUGE (considering splitting an entree, or plan on bringing half home with you). Prices seem high but when the food arrives you realize that prices are reasonable for what you get. And, they have robots as runners but don't worry, the servers are always there Definitely on our "let's go back " list

New place for breakfast. Interesting concept with the robots delivering food. Fun! Pretty busy but we got a seat pretty quick. Turnover is fast. A little loud but it is open and bright I order led the western scrambler. Pretty big portion! Deb ordered everything a La cart. Country fried strak and a biscuit. The food was pretty tasty but it is a little pricey and $1.50 for each additional thing added to a scramble adds up quick.

This was a very unique dining experience. They rely heavily on contactless technology- ie; QR ordering and robot delivery! Both of which I find to be pretty cool! The servers do encourage you to try the QR first, but are also able to take your order if you'd prefer the old fashioned method. I ordered the French toast & thought it was pretty good. I don't get French toast often, so it was a nice change for me. What I loved was the little robot that brings you out your food. This is fun. Could the servers carry it out? Yes. But that's what makes this place unique. I liked feeling like I was in The Jetsons. I thought the food was a little bit pricy for the portion you received. Overall, it was a quiet restaurant with neat technology. I enjoyed it and likely will be back!

Great place for breakfast! Had a delicious meat lovers omelette. Light and fluffy packed with meat, Not greasy. My friends enjoyed their eggs and pancakes very much. Order and pay at your table with a wall mounted tablet. Robot servers deliver your food to the table and the wait staff take it from the roboserver and put it on your table. Highly recommend.

This place came recommended so we decided to stop by for Saturday brunch. Parking was easy. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You scan a QR code to pull up the menu and order and pay. This was different. A little robot also delivers your food with your server. That was unique. I was unable to take a picture of the menu sadly due to it being electronic. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. It comes with 2 eggs your way. I ordered mine over medium. One complaint is that you cannot order a pancake. I had to order an omelet or a skillet. They came with a side of pancakes. I like just one pancake and most places will let me order just the one. This place would not unfortunately.

I went for breakfast. Food was ok. I got the chicken & waffles. Nothing special. A waffle and 2 pieces of chicken tenders. The robot was cool. Service was not the best. I had to ask the server for everything, utensils, refill on water.

What a fun spot to stop by and grab brunch! They welcomed us in, sat us down quickly, and we scanned the QR code for the menu and ordering. I liked the options! You can choose if you like your hash browns crispier! We appreciate the technology! The waitress was kind, attentive and checked on us a few times. Brought us our drinks and their robot brought our food! Yep! Wish more restaurants had this option! The robot plays music and stops when people get in its way. The food was hot and good. We had the breakfast burger and the Florentine Benny. Both very tasty and great portion size. Nicely decorated and clean.

O. M. G. I love it! Largest light pancakes I ever had! Robot servers are fun! Service is AI Fruit pancakes amazing!

The first time we went, there were physical menus available, which we requested. The second time we went there, we were told there were no physical menus, and that we would have to order using the touchscreen bolted to the wall. So instead of two people each looking over a menu individually placed comfortably in front of them, we were expected to both crane our necks sideways simultaneously while we painstakingly scrolled through the piecemeal information presentable on a screen, versus scanning a printed page containing dozens of possible selections. Neither of us felt comfortable with this ridiculous forced process, so we left. Maybe if the devices were per patron and situated on the table in front of us (like a normal reading position), it could work, But this kludgy affectation of techno-hipness is just offensive, and has zero regard for anyone who may have vision issues or neck problems. But moreover, it damages the experience of trying to decide on which menu item(s) one wants, since it's difficult to "flip" back and forth like is so easily done using eyeballs on a printed page. For a restaurant that serves more than a few dishes, this is an atrocious idea to mandate, and we simply will patronize other places who care more for their patrons than their image.

I had really high hopes for this place after having seen reviews of it having robots that deliver your food to you. Having worked in the technology field for over 20 years now, I'm certainly a huge advocate of cool technology. I'm just not sure this is it. While they do have waitstaff here, don't expect much. They'll bring you water and the rest is up to you. You have to scan a QR code and then enter in a bunch of information, including a phone number (I entered all 1s) and a credit card just to be able to place the order. I'm definitely not a fan of this. A short time later out comes the robot that tries its best to navigate its way to your table. Following the robot is the server so that they can remove the plate and place it on your table. Service would actually be faster without the robot, in my opinion. The food was OK. It was a tad on the pricey side, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Staff was friendly. Robot was not. Not sure I'd come back here. It was cool to try it once though.

Ate here Sunday and had an underwhelming experience. Upon arrival we were not greeted and once we were we were just given a number. once seated we were told that you order off a kiosk, and a robot brings out the foot. it took 45 minutes before our food arrived and it wasn't until we said something when it did. 2 tables who sat down 20 minutes after we did received their food before us. The table behind us had the same issue with being delayed. When we mentioned we waited a while and our food was cold, the manager stated it couldn't have been cold as it comes as it's completed. she then said it probably was cold because the doors opened and it was windy. then we mentioned our issues when another server asked what was wrong and she just apologized but didn't take accountability. overall not worth the money and the experience was basic. you pay before anything and they ask for a tip when no one does anything. will not be going back

Ordered the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich and it wasn't what the menu says it is. Supposed to have been a fried egg, on a brioche bun. Got a scrambled egg, on a pita bread, with American cheese. When I asked what this was, the worker said that the manager won't change it on the menu and that this is how they make it. So be warned if you order this sandwich, it's not what the menu says it is. Or the worker was lying about it. Was still good but not at all what the menu says it is.

Our son and his girlfriend love this place! We all decided to order skillet bowls to go. The Teddy Skillet is delicious and full of flavor. We got pancakes as a side. Everything was good and hot when we got it home. If you love breakfast this is a place to try!!

First off I would like to say the food was delicious. But the best part was the service. You are served by robots what a great surprise. If you have young kids or you are young at heart you need to come here and check out the robot servers.

I know this is a new restaurant so I am hoping this review will be upgraded over time. Service 2 they never told us the food took over an hour to come out, no offer for coffee refills, we got our own, had to ask for water Atmosphere 3 cute, bathroom had no paper towels, needs to be cleaned Food 1 for timeliness as it took 1 hour and 15 mins to get our meal Taste 3/4hard to mess up eggs and pancakes, they were good meals, liked the free side of pancakes in lieu of toast Value 3$12-$14 for entrees, good coffee, lattes 4.50 Overall our biggest feedback was the treatment of patrons. When you're taking over an hour (without the customer's knowledge but the staff knew) for food, the staff should have been offered a drink/side dish on the house as a "sorry" for the inconvenience. The customer relations leaves a lot to be desired.

We love coming to Buttermilk! From the best staff and fast service...never disappoints!

Average food, quick service, friendly staff, kinda pricey for the quality. The idea that everything is digital and the food is delivered via robot is cool though.

We waited so long for a food and ordered nothing special, eggs, potatoes, grits. Its an automotive service no actual servers so if you want something specific or something on the side forget about it. It's basically a fancy fast food restaurant. They try too hard to make it fancy but not on actual efficiency or any sort of customer service. Out of the St Pete breakfast places this is last on my list.

Such a cool experience! You can order from the touch screen or from a waitress - your preference. Then just wait as the ROBOTS deliver your food! Breakfast was appropriately priced and SO yummy! I will definitely be back again!!!

Cute breakfast and lunch place. The robots help the servers carry all of the heavy dishes! It's quite a cute, symbiotic relationship, and it's fun seeing the robots stroll around. I got the country fried steak skillet. The portions are huge! And they come with 2 toasts on the side if you'd like! I definitely have enough for lunch tomorrow! I liked all of the flavor the fried steak packed. I added cholula hot sauce for a little kick!

Tried this breakfast and lunch restaurant today with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. I had the chicken salad sandwich with shredded potatoes, and my friend had scrambled eggs with bacon and pancakes. Both were absolutely delicious!! The best lunch and breakfast we've had in a long time. The service was excellent, including the robot pictured, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the place was spotless, due to a team member who was busy doing just that. Lots of seating inside and outside. Definitely my new go-to for breakfast and lunch. A must-try! So happy to finally have a great little place like this in Carillon!!
