The food was amazing, the space was a little cramped but overall the vibe was great. I had the French Toast flight & it was so flavorful. I definitely recommend ordering it, be aware that the signature French toast flavor changes weekly but I love that!

Visiting from Raleigh, NC. 1st time here. Food is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Our server Candice is very knowledgeable, fun & nice. Maaaaan, the BACON... SHEESH! Lawd, and the Apple Belgique Waffles...MAGNIFICENT! French Toast Flight is TOP TIER! Angus Steak burger cooked to perfection and BIG lol. Even the traditional eggs & bacon w/ pancakes is POPPIN! We're gonna recommend folks to eat here when visiting. Kudos to the general manager & staff! Great decor & ambiance. Quaint place with HUGE 5-star restaurant feel.

This was amazing! So good that I went twice during my 5 day trip. The first day I went the service and food was amazing and quick. I believe I had the French toast special that was pineapple upside down caramel cake. Absolutely delicious! It was so good I went back a 2nd time on Juneteenth. This time the server did not have a pleasant attitude. Not horrible but definitely not friendly. The wait was also long to be seated but once again the food was good. I highly recommend. Don't let the unpleasant attitude of the 2nd server stop you from this delicious food, just like I didn't let is stop me from a 5 star review.

The French toast flight was so delicious and fun to try! Our server was also so fun, I think her name on the receipt was Naynay. She absolutely made the visit an awesome one! The place was hot but it was a very hot day and they were very busy. Chicken sandwich was very dry, wouldn't get that again. Fries had really good seasoning but were undercooked.

The food was amazing. We tried several items on the menu. The Belgium waffles are to die for. The angus burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. The executive was amazing, and they have fresh squeezed orange juice. The service was top-notch. They have a team that is dedicated to providing an amazing dining experience . It's a small hole in the wall with seating for maybe 40 people. It's a good open layout . The restaurant itself is very clean modern and has charming artwork. I was super impressed how the team worked like a well-oiled machine . The manager was great he was on the ball and checking in with guest. He took the time to connect and made sure we were having a good time. He went above and beyond by trying to communicate with my inlaws in Spanish to make sure they liked the food. World class service and amazing food!

Service great. Vibes amazing. Food delicious! This is a great place to try for breakfast. We were sat pretty quickly and our waiter was great. He recommended a catfish dish that was amazing. I'll def be coming back and suggest you try it out!

Having just moved to Chicago, I had been relying on the recommendations of others. I heard from a former colleague that this was 'the best breakfast' she had ever had - anywhere. I have to agree it was very good. I couldn't decide on what I wanted so I ordered 2 meals thinking I'd take some to go. Well, I did not need to because I inhaled them. The server was super nice and the place had a great energy. The mascarpone spread was perfection! And the crab Bennie's were awesome!

super good nice staff delicious food i would come back over and over and over again for there delicious french toast

I've got two words for you: HOT DAMN! Batter & Berries was one of the best breakfast spots I have ever visited. The service was 5/5, the menu choices were 5/5, and the meals we actually got were 5/5. It is killing me that I waited so long to write this review since the gentleman waiting on us was amazing. He needs to write a book on how to make someone feel like lifelong friends. He gave us brain teasers and trivia questions and walked us through the menu and worked the hell outta the room. I had no idea that a spot in Chicago could get down with some legit soul food; I genuinely felt like I was visiting Louisiana. While I was tempted to get the sweet sounding French Toast flight, I went with the biscuits n' gravy and a side of eggs, topped with manchego....Did I say topped? Nope...they mixed it in for the most decadent, rich eggs I've ever had. I lived in Chicago for grad school and used to go back annually. Needless to say, this spot just got added to the list of places to visit on every visit til the day I die.

Visited Batter & Berries as a last minute brunch and it turned out to be the best decision I made all week! It is a hole in the wall with a big taste. Small inside making it feel more like home. I got the special Benedict of the day which came with crispy fried salmon eggs your way and cheesy hash browns. Also ordered the Executive, and the other special of the day which was a luxurious egg white omelet and the SUPER French toast flight! The Benedict was delicious, our server even brought out the spicy sweet homemade hot sauce which added a perfect zing to the dish. Honestly, everything was amazing the steak perfectly cooked and flavorful, omelet filling but light. But the winner is the French toast flight! Every single bite delicious light, fluffy, buttery, sweet, savory. It is perfect for sharing and we ate every crumb. Lastly, I'll give a huge shout out to our server, I believe his name is Tusemi - this man deserves a raise. He made sure my party was taken care of, kept us laughing with jokes and riddles and gave the best menu suggestions. He was so kind and made us feel like the only people in the restaurant. I will never visit Chicago again without stopping here!
