Buttermilk

I can’t believe this place is rated 4.3 stars and the crappy restaurant on my hotel is 4.4. This place is so good. Fast friendly service and the menu… I could eat here so many times trying different things. I wish I was in town longer so I could try more. Anyway, I started with a breakfast bloody and was not disappointed. The bloody itself was a little thick for my liking but it was still good. All the fixings that come with it are just fantastic. So good. I got the stuffed breakfast sandwich for my meal…. Wow what a generous portion of food. The flavors are fantastic. The loaded potatoes are so good and the sandwich was phenomenal. My buddy had the bickfast plate. The brisket looks like it’s seared but is so tender and falls apart. He said it was fantastic. He also really liked the pancakes. The salt and vinegar crackling are semi crisp potatoes with salt and vinegar flavoring. Not my favorite with breakfast, but still good. Service was great and attentive.

We arrived closer to 12 and waited about 20 minutes. At 12:30 their were plenty of empty tables. I tried a latte and it was good. I had the chicken skillet. It had lots of flavor. We also tried the stuffed biscuit. It was ok. The buttermilk pancakes were ok. I did enjoy the honey biscuit with jam. I would come back again and try a few other items.

I came because I wanted to have their stuffed biscuit, which I've had multiple times. I was very surprised and confused as to why, instead of a biscuit, they now serve it with a flour tortilla? The menu has not changed and still says "baked biscuit" as of June 2025. No, this was not an undercooked biscuit either. It was 100% a flour tortilla filled with egg and made into a dome burrito. Was it good? Yes, but it's not what I ordered nor what I expected. We arrived at 11am, the restaurant was not busy and still waited 10 mins for our server to come to our table with water. There wasn't a lack of waitstaff either that I could see. The service today was slow for it being a Monday, and it didn't really feel like we were a priority. There were other patrons with much bigger groups that arrived after us who were immediately given water and were asked for their drink order. To be frank, this felt a little discriminatory. As far as the atmosphere, the staff needs to be made aware that putting up the blinds on a sunny day while you have cars parked outside results in a sun glare that is very uncomfortable to your patrons that are sitting and facing the windows. I was told the blinds could not be put down simply "because." Silly excuse to give, but OK. I also noticed several cars parking in the handicap spots to pick up food orders, which prevents other customers from using the spots when trying to park. This is something that Buttermilk should address or designate a spot specifically for food delivery service pick-ups. The waffle was just OK, nothing compared to the almond pancakes. I would skip the waffle and go for the pancake instead. The fried green tomatoes were also not very memorable, I would skip these as well. While the batter was crispy, the fried green tomatoes were overcooked and way too soft. The ranch dressing had more flavor. Overall, we ate because we were starving, but if given the choice, I think we'd go somewhere else next time. It'll be a while before I give them another try at an average $30 per person.

Buttermilk was fantastic! The food was incredibly filling. Highly recommend the honey biscuits. The jam they come with is next level. The brisket skillet was juicy and cooked perfectly. The price was a little steep but the food and service made it worth it.

Good food, good service; their full stack buttermilk pancakes are huge enough for a family of three. Vegetable omelette was delicious, french toast was a little sweet for us but the apple topping was amazing

My friend and I requested to be sat outside, as the morning was quite beautiful. I ordered the chilaquiles. Delicious. A very large portion; great. Can feed 2-3 people. It came topped with 2 eggs. I requested my eggs medium over easy. PERFECTION! It was biscuit Tuesday so they gave us a biscuit. I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW DELICIOUS THIS BISCUIT WAS. YOU HAVE TO TASTE IT FOR YOURSELF. They also provided home made jelly. OH.MY.GOSH. The servers were extremely tentative. Food delicious. Hot. Fresh and one of a kind. Atmosphere - chill.

Late lunch for 3, no reservations accepted. Wanted to sit at the full bar, within :05 mins most of it cleared out. Had the Kale salad, added chicken and it was very flavorful. Friends had ham & eggs and blueberry waffle, both enjoyed their choices. Had different mimosas, mine was blood orange and rosemary-an unusual combo. Was surprised that there were no other alcohol beverage choices, no still wine or beer. Excellent, friendly service. Accessible restrooms.

My mom and I came here for breakfast and it was packed. We didn’t wait too long for a table and we were not disappointed. Plenty of parking. We were recommended the biscuits and they steal the show. They give you quite a bit of food and the service was so welcoming even when they were pretty busy. I would recommend.

We have always had a great experience with breakfast at Buttermilk; we typically like to go close to the time it opens to beat the morning rush. The coffee is great and the menu portions are very large so plan to take some leftovers home. My wife was a couple weeks out from her pregnancy due date and we had a breakfast feast of the skillet, omelette, blueberry pancakes, and waffles. The food quality is top notch and the servers are upbeat and enthusiastic early in the morning. Can't wait to come back with our little one! Best, Charlie

Great food! I have been to this location twice not and the service is always great. Definitely call ahead! The decor is cute, simple. But please, for the love of all that is holy, stop putting your delicious fried green tomatoes on a bed of wet lettuce? WHY THO?! Top notch Ranch!!

It wasn't awful, so I'll give them 2 stars. But I can't believe how outrageous the prices are for the food quality. Everything was bland, boring. The potatoes tasted bland and dry. The coffee was weak and tasteless. One of the over easy eggs were broken and overcooked. How, as a breakfast place, do you screw up eggs? You only get 1 pc of toast instead of the standard 2. Etc, etc...These are all minor things, but when combined altogether and *compared to competition the quality is sub par*. I can make everything they served at home better, so why am I paying so much money for it here? You might say because you are being served. Well, the waitress was not overly friendly, just doing the basic job. She was a little bit snarky and forgot a small part of the order. There are other little things that don't make this place a premium experience. The restaurant and bathroom overall needs a deep cleaning. They don't provide enough butter. Salt and pepper shakers not full, one came out really fast and the other one you're shaking forever - not a big deal but it's in the details and when you're paying $20 for some pancakes, the details shouldn't be a problem. There's just so many other places that give you a better experience for less money so I won't be back.

Had a great brunch with friends on a weekend! We were seated right away and ordered coffee drinks that were fun and tasty. I had the avocado toast which was a generous portion and had a ton of fresh avocado mash. The flavor was bright and it came with a salad in the side. It was very satisfying. Prices are a little high but not outrageous especially for the portions. Service was great as well. It is loud inside but I do not mind that type of atmosphere for a busy breakfast spot. Will be back!

We ordered the chilequilles with chicken chorizo. Very tasty! The service took long but we didn't mind. Fairly priced. The tres leches French toast was disappointing. It's just two pieces of white bread with caramel sauce and coconut. I hoped they would be dipped or drenched in milk the way actual tres leches cake is.

Buttermilk is such a staple! They're always so busy on the weekends but they figured out like a weightless queue which is so nice. The skillets are absolutely to die for. And it's so cute and trendy in there. The outdoor patio is really nice in the summer.

We love us some brunch and had such an amazing experience at Buttermilk. Pro tip, make sure to join the waitlist prior to coming in. It makes everything quicker and you can just wait in your car until it's your turn. We came on a rainy Saturday morning and surprisingly the place was packed. Our wait time was maybe 15 minutes. We ordered the honey bun pancake and the chorizo biscuits. Both were absolutely delicious!! Beware, the portion sizes are huge! We took it to go and are still eating our leftovers. Will definitely be back!

I ordered the Towanda Omelet with Jalepenos on the side. I also had 2 slices of wheat toast on the side. The toast was fresh, warm, and lightly toasted. The whipped butter spread on it was delightful. The omelet was dense and very filling. The portions were quite large. I could only finish half and needed to pack the other half to go. The remoulade crema was a nice rich flavor while the bacon gave the omelet a nice texture. The staff was chipper and friendly! There was a nice morning bustle. It felt nice being among many patrons enjoying their breakfast. The restaurant felt bright, open and clean. The benches were a little unwieldy to get in and out of, but overall had a positive experience.

Great breakfast place! We came here before we went to the game and did not let me down! My Choice: Not your everyday chicken sandwich / Chorizo and gravy biscuits / These plates are HUGE! you can definitely share (tip) they also have pressed juices, a bit pricey but are great! Different types of coffee drinks as well! Service was great and the place was packed so definitely a good sign! Noise means good food!! Thank you!

Buttermilk was my first stop in the 'burbs after getting into town. My mother used to work in this area and would always talk about how good this place is. Moral of the story--mom is always right. I ordered the fried green benny with a side of pancakes...because when the restaurant is named "Buttermilk," you can't just not try the pancakes. My server was Leticia and she was super sweet and answered my questions about the menu. My food came out quickly and totally slapped. The Benedict was everything I could have asked for and the hollandaise was the perfect complement. The pancakes were indeed incredible and perfect. I also like that Buttermilk gives you a carafe of water so you don't have to bug your server for refills of it. A nice touch and a great experience overall!

We were seated super quick for a party of 5 The staff were friendly and super nice Portions were HUGE, plan on sharing. They charge a $2 split meal fee but don't worry, the portions are so large, you won't leave hungry Super cute and modern space. Great for all groups and ages. Food was fresh and delicious. Definitely would come back and recommend

My mom and I came here for breakfast and it was packed. We didn't wait too long for a table and we were not disappointed. Plenty of parking. We were recommended the biscuits and they steal the show. They give you quite a bit of food and the service was so welcoming even when they were pretty busy. I would recommend.

I used to love this place. But, this was the second time here that food was not good. Eggs looked weird and tasted like if they were not 100% eggs. The service was too slow.. when we checked in the lady never stated how long would it be. After 65 mins they said it would be another 40 min. But, mention if we wanted to sit outside it can be now. I Don't understand why didn't they mention this since the beginning.

**4.5 stars** There is always at least a 60 minute wait during the weekends, so make sure to get on the waitlist early!! The food tasted amazing as always! I got one of their special drinks - Maple black sugar bruleed latte. It was good, tasted the maple but nothing else much. We also got the specialty french toast - bourbon cherry french toast, it was amazing, the cherry jam was soo good. We also got the Alabama hot chicken benny - the fried chicken was soo crispy and light, almost like tempura. And the scallion biscuits were soo crispy flaky, the whole dish tasted phenomenal! Definitely one of our favorite brunch spots!

So glad I tried this spot! I was worried it was going to be "chain-ey", but it didn't feel that way at all. It was packed on a Friday morning and everyone seemed happy. After much debate, I had the Tawanda. It was delicious. The pancakes were huge and I barely ate any, but it wasn't for lack of desire. I ran out of room! If you are visiting the Chicago area, definitely recommend.

By far my most favorite breakfast spot in Naperville. The wait time can be an issue for people who do not have time at hand but it's worth it. They deliver fresh quality pancakes and skillets. I've never had a complaint about the food. Instructions or changes are well received by the staff helping us. I got myself the Holy Moly skillet with an upgraded side of specialty pancake- lemon blueberry. The chorizo was well seasoned and the correct temperature. Pancakes were soft and melt in the mouth delicious.

Food portions are LARGE. Definitely recommend sharing. Chilaquiles were okay - the top layer was great and crispy but then the middle and bottom layer of tortilla chips were soggy. I also think they used too many tortilla chips. Our waitress was so friendly! No complaints here. The place is a good brunch place to check out. It's a pretty homey feel.

Benedict was my favorite. Only issue I had was one of them was so smooth and delicious. The second was gritty, not sure what happened but the taste was fantastic in my mouth. The pancakes were HUGE!!!!! So soft and warm. Their pork sausage was amazing quality. Kids ate it up! I had a hazelnut latte. Loved the cup and it was the perfect temp. Ambience was very cute, but I didn't feel like I was intruding on others. Super modern looking.

Let's talk! This place is some pretty tasty food. The serving sizes are huge and the quality of food is spot on. My husband loves the hot chocolate. The pancakes are as big as your head but soo good. The place is modern and clean.

I only ordered coffee from here and I wish I had time to try out their food menu items. It was super busy but I went in on a Sunday so it made sense. Before going to the restaurant, I did check out their website there to see if they had a separate coffee menu and they did. If you want to eat in, you may have to wait or call for a reservation. But to order coffee, you walk in and there's an area in the back. I did have a to wait a little bit since they were busy but my order was taken and made in less than 5 min. Prices were reasonable. I got a small hot vanilla latte.

Big disappointment Stopped in for some breakfast and it was extremely busy. I'm ok with busy but it's how staff handles busy under pressure and they don't handle it well. The server couldn't have been less friendly and when asked for an item it was like she was being bothered. I didn't eat because of her attitude but 3 others in my party had a light bite. As you can see my reviews are rarely negative but it he visit here was a tough ride. I will stop in on a less busy day to give it one more try I'll let you all know how that goes

*4.5 stars* Really good, popular, packed brunch spot! The portions are huge and the food was really good. My party and I had eggs, pancakes, apple gouda sausage, corned beef hash, bacon, a parfait, a honey butter biscuit and GF pancakes and we really enjoyed it all. The honey butter biscuit was my favorite, it was sooooo delicious. Oh, and the fresh squeezed OJ was good too. Service was good as well. Put your name on the waitlist before going because this place gets packed! Highly recommend.

I had a very pleasant and unique experience at this establishment. As a lover of southern biscuits and gravy, I was pleasantly surprised by the offerings. The gravy had a smooth and consistent texture with a great flavor. The biscuit was thin and stuffed with scrambled eggs and bacon. Seemingly, they wrapped the dough around cooked eggs and bacon and then baked it. Either way, I would definitely come again for this or one of their other biscuit and gravy options. The potatoes that came with the biscuit were perfectly cooked with thick cut bacon and green onion. This was a bit more savory than the stuffed biscuit, which added some contrast to the overall dish. The chicken sausage was a bit disappointing, especially since I thought it might have been house made. Therefore, I'd say to not get the chicken sausage as it was seemingly the same thing I have gotten from another store. Service was pretty quick even when full and a coffee carafe was provided for refills when wanted. It does get loud here with all the people that they can fit. I recommend this place for a great breakfast or brunch.

Tried this place for Breakfast. The menu is huge. We started with coffee. We then ordered Bagel with Cream Cheese and Biscuits & Gravy with a side of Potatoes & Sausage. For dessert we then had a biscuit which was amazing. The food was so fresh and delicious. Our server was super polite and attentive. The ambiance was great. They even have outdoor seating in case anyone would like to enjoy the summer weather. There is plenty of parking spots as it's located in a plaza.

Giant portions. Extensive coffee/espresso menu. Always bustling and loud. Parking lot is always packed. Their booths are more private than their tables. There is a strict 90 min policy for all tables. We were asked to kindly open the table after our time was up though there was not anyone waiting. Their Buttermilk black van was parked in the handicapped spot for the duration of our breakfast, even though the hostess said they would be moving it "soon".

Good was breakfast nothing outstanding, just basic. $16 dollars for 2 eggs and potatoes? 20 bucks for an omelette? Has anyone told this place the price of eggs has gone down? Not sure I will go back for mediocre food at those prices.

This place is a bit far out but the biscuits alone make the drive worth it. The service was quick and friendly.

Absolutely delicious! I came here two days in a row because I liked their food so much. Biscuit sandwich - amazing and huge! I got it with ham, and it was delicious. My friend and I ended up splitting. (Keep in mind that they do charge a shared plate fee) Breakfast potatoes - seasoned nicely. Eggs I had the second time were a little watery. Honey biscuit - amazing! Also, they have a vegan and gluten-free menu available upon request.

Chicken fried skillet Honey bun pancake Mint latte The serving sizes here are MASSIVE. Every table I saw, including mine, left with at least one carryout box. The star here was the honey bun pancakes, which were fluffy with perfectly balanced sweetness. Delicious. Everything here is homemade, and the fried chicken was moist, but the skillet was just a little underseasoned. The latte was not great, and I'll definitely skip that if I come back.

Where do I start? This place is great. It's so great that I visited on back to back days. Located in the Naperville suburb of Chicago, this spot has a modern farmhouse feel with a delicious menu that has food choices for everyone. The spot is very clean, bright, and airy. The food tastes home made. We had pancakes and fruit. The croissant/scrambled egg sandwich was to die for long with the home fries that were perfectly cooked. Service was friendly. It was a little slow when getting the check but likely due to the space being filled. They have timed seating but we had more than enough time to east, sit, and chat. I will def be going back when visiting family in the area.

We have been here many times. It is always so delicious! The service, the lively brunch ambiance, and the food quality make this place a must for a weekend visit. The only downside is that they don't accept reservations and wait times can be very long! The earlier, the better.

Great stop for breakfast. Attentive staff, nice decor. As a whole the restaurant is very similar to First Watch with better coffee and bacon. Not sure if this is a chain but it could be.

We came here for brunch and were not disappointed. It was a Saturday morning and despite putting ourselves on the waitlist we still had to wait a long time, almost 30 minutes. When we arrived to the restaurant I told the host to check us in. She asked for my name and said we're good to go. After that we had to wait about 30 minutes , it started clearing I'm out so I asked another host what's going on. She said we are next and I got a "you are checked in " message in yelp. This tells me the original host never checked us in and that is why we wasted a lot of time. So lesson learned if you ever come here using the yelp waitlist make sure you get the "you are checked in" messages after checking in because they might check in someone else if they mishear your name. Well enough of that, on to the good. We each got a cocktail and both were a hit. The spicy mezcal bloody orange was great, just a little spice and nice flavor. This place is lively and pretty loud like most brunch places, family atmosphere and very busy. There is plenty of parking as this restaurant is in a shopping plaza. For food I got the chicken friend chicken and my partner the butchers block omelette. Both were great, really taste but be warned they are super filling and the portions are huge. I'm the person that always finishes my meals but I could only get through like half. Our waitress was nice and overall other than the whole waitlist mixup this place is a hit.

Food fit for a king and the whole castle too! Their portions are huge and delicious. The corned beef was fresh and LEAN. The pancakes fluffy and flavorful. The coffee hot and plentiful with my own pot. And the service was pleasant and timely. Our day started out perfectly with a meal at Buttermilk!

Every single thing was amazing! Especially the Honey butter biscuits! My pancakes were huge! Keep that in mond Every single thing was amazing! Especially the Honey butter biscuits! My pancakes were huge! Keep that in mind while ordering! I love 3 hours from this restaurant but would drive back just for the biscuits! Must try !!!

Buttermilk used to be the crème de la crème in the Naperville area, but I just went back within the last month and it felt run down. The interior didn't seem upkept. It wasn't "dirty" but it didn't feel up to the standard that it used to be at. I also feel like the seating is awkward in some parts. There shouldn't be a 2 top squeezed in a corner behind a 6 top table. It made for service to be extremely slow. I've had faster service in the past on busier days. Thankfully, the food was still as delicious as I had remembered. I always love the menu options and the creativity behind them. Our food came before our drinks which was just a little strange. However, our waitress was extremely friendly/ kind. Service overall just felt a bit off and that could have been due to many reasons we could not see as a guest.

Solid breakfast. Huge portions. Service was a tad spotty but fine. I'd definitely come back again.

Such an innovative menu! The Frenchie omelette was delicious and the portions are really generous. Great kids menu, too. The coffee was ok, but it was nice to see so many flavors at a breakfast place. Definitely excited to return!

Traveling for work and stopped here for breakfast. Ordered an omelette with ham and cheese. The ham was spoiled... waitress remade it, without ham as I requested but the additional charge for the ham was still on my receipt. I had to ask to have the ham removed. The potatoes and omelette were flavorless.

I would drive the hour back to this location for the biscuit alone. It was the most delicious, melt in your mouth, buttery biscuit I have ever tasted in my life....and everything was good but the biscuit??? I have dreams about that biscuit.

This is an updated review: my third one to be exact. Buttermilk has become our go to. I typically get the same thing every time but every time someone is in town I bring them here and I see their eyes light up at first bite. Not only is the food out of this world, the serving staff is so sweet and the ambiance is modern farmhouse adorable! If you have never been reserve a table or go early and expect to wait or go at an off peak time. I usually get the side salad, with their lemon dressing that I could drink, avocado toast, black bean burger, the fries r yum and dessert is one of the pancakes. As for the pancakes- they r humongous. I get the normal stack and bring some home. Honestly I like to bring them home but you can get a small stack on the side. No desserts in this place but I treat the pancakes like dessert. Love you Buttermilk! Thank you and grateful for you !!!

I love this place. First time eating at this restaurant, and I was impressed. From the food to the waitress it all exceeded my expectations. The food was very tasteful and amazing. I wish they had more options of meat for people that don't eat pork, but none of the less all the food tasted amazing. Their pancakes were fluffy and the scrambled eggs were delicious. The freshly squeezed juice was great! The waitress that helped us out was very helpful with the menu. And the food didn't take long at all to get served. The food was a bit pricey but the portions are very generous. There's a ton of parking around and it's wheelchair accessible. They do have some items on the menu for children.

Wow Wow Wow Everything great Moderately priced Great service Food service is fast Dining area is tight

My husband and I went to this place that was our favorite for the chilaquiles. We ordered an extra plate because the portions were too big to share and they charged a fee for that. This had never happened to us before and I didn't even know that kind of fee existed.

This was is awesome, the place is beautiful, staff is always welcoming and friendly. The breakfast here was fresh and delicious. I had red rooster skillet and it's amazing. I would give is restaurant a solid 10.

I test a breakfast by their eggs Benedict. Buttermilk's was delicious! I highly recommend going, but go early, especially on the weekends. Everyone in town knows this place is good too.

The honey buttermilk biscuits were the bomb (AWESOME)! I went to the one in Naperville Il. Yes it was all that!

Very good food. Mans played it safe with the Eggs your way, he lived the Cherry smoked bacon, and the French toast. I tried the Alabama bbq chicken Benny. It was Eh for me. The taste was there but there was a lot going on. Realized I'm not a fan of the Alabama bbq sauce. So that was a me thing, it did taste good but wasn't for my taste palate. The chicken was fried and crispy, the eggs were a perfect medium. The pickles surprisingly went well with the meal! The true star if my dish was the Cheddar scone. But the REAL STAR of the whole meal .. the Lemon Blueberry pancakes!! My good ness, the best tasting pancakes I've ever ate! So good I sat there looking for lemon blueberry recipes !!! When i looked around, almost every table ordered the pancakes, definitely a crowd favorite. Would go back just for those!

This place is good, but it just doesn't stand out to me... I want something to stand out amongst all the breakfast options around now and I just don't have that here. It's a solid restaurant and you'll be full and satisfied, so you really can't go wrong!
