Because I am a regular at the original location, I feel confident giving this location its due compliments. The seating availability during Sunday brunch hours was impressive, I came around 10:30am and there was no wait.
I ordered my usual a Traditional breakfast along with a French toast flight. It was delicious per usual, and came out pretty quick.
The food tastes just as good as the other location down to the maple butter and the house hot sauce (which I recommend, it’s the only hot sauce I eat)
The manager and my server were friendly and hospitable. My only complaint was that sitting by the door made it a chilly visit. Otherwise everything else was impeccable!
Thanks Ari!

Disappointed that everything is À la cart. Paid $7 for what looked like 2 eggs and $7 for three pieces of bacon. French toast was too soft. I didn’t like it took one bite told my server she can take it back. I wasn’t going to eat anything and the response was you still would have to pay for it. My husband was pleased with his food either. The food came out so fast like it’s pre made and not made to order.

The rest of us ordered the traditional breakfast of French toast in various flavors, and everything was delicious. The service was very fast; we hardly had to wait at all for our food. It tasted fresh and very good.

First time eating at batter & berries but my fiancee has been numerous times and always highly recommended it. Food was very good but overpriced for what we ordered. $100 breakfast for 2 people is crazy. Beware of the specials menu as they don’t list the price and I see why. It’s twice as much as anything else on the regular menu

I had the lemon French toast and it was delicious! I always have syrup with French toast but I honestly didn’t need it. I also had bacon and eggs on the side. I was a skeptic but the chef got my soft scrambled eggs just right! Additionally, the service was excellent! I’ll definitely be returning.

The wait and price is not worth the hype. Over 45 min wait for this cold food. The location is good, but not any appropriate seating while you wait except one bench. So you will have to wait in Your car or stand in the breezeway of the apartments. The bathrooms were clean and smelled fresh. I wish the execution of the food would have been as precise as the presentation. The waiter was professional and concise, but lacked a personality. The waiter didn’t ask where we were from the waiter didn’t ask if this was our first time we thought that would’ve added a nice touch but… our total cost for this meal and two pictures were $42.16. Even a restaurant that specializes i. Catfish would give you 2 pieces of fish for $29.00. Also the waiter did tell us it was 1 piece of fish, I will give him that.The fish and eggs and hash were $29. Yes, you are reading this correctly. You only get two eggs, a decent side of cold, hash, brown scramble and a hot piece of fish and the two slices of French toast that my spouse had rounded up the difference that includes no drinks that includes no juice no coffee $42.16 batter and berries we’ve tried to support you got us once but you won’t catch us twice. Left still hungry and ended up going to devil dogs up the street.

Batter & Berries is one of my favorite breakfast spots, which is why this review is meant to be constructive and not a bash session.
This was my first time visiting the new location. I was told they have been open about a year. Unfortunately, the service did not meet the standard I have come to expect from this restaurant.
Our server, Cody, took our order but did not check on our table at any point afterward. I either had to wave him down or rely on another waitress, and even the woman cleaning tables checked on us more than our actual server. It is possible he was assigned too many tables at the time, but the lack of communication and follow up still impacted our experience.
Both of my children received their traditional breakfasts. However, the blueberry French toast they were sharing came out much later, after one of my children had already finished eating. When I asked about it, Cody said he would check and then returned asking if it was strawberry when it was blueberry, which made it seem the order had been forgotten.
I also requested extra Alfredo sauce, which never arrived but was still included on the bill.
Additionally, my fried catfish was undercooked. The breading was very crispy, which suggested it was cooked quickly on high heat. When I mentioned this, Cody responded, “I’m sure it’s cooked, but I’ll tell them,” which felt dismissive. I always cut into my food to check doneness due to a previous experience with undercooked food at another restaurant.
Overall, the rest of my food was delicious. See receipt for order.
Throughout the visit, I remained polite and calm, especially as I was dining with my two young children. I still left a $10 tip, even reluctantly, because I was raised to always leave something and understand that tips are often shared.
The manager did come over and was very polite and professional, which I appreciated. However, the server would benefit from retraining in attentiveness, communication, and guest care.
I hope this feedback is received in the spirit it is intended as a learning opportunity. Batter & Berries has always been a favorite of mine, and I want to continue supporting the brand, but service consistency matters.

I’m not a Chicago native but as a visitor, this is by far the BEST breakfast/brunch/lunch place I’ve EVER been to. The server was nice and very warming. The energy is top tier given the upbeat music that is playing inside. Definitely recommend their French toast that they’re known for and cheese crusted hash!

Visited this morning for a quick breakfast, I have been traveling for a week plus and haven’t had a good breakfast yet…. Batter and Berries absolutely knocked it out of the park. From the moment I walked in the door the staff was friendly and welcoming, immediately bringing water and going out of their way to help me choose a hot tea flavor. I then had the Carmel French Toast and two eggs. Phenomenal. The toast comes drizzled with Carmel sauce and maple butter. It is the perfect combination and syrup isn’t even needed (it is available if you’d like). Do yourself a favor and give them a chance you won’t be disappointed.

Disappointed with my experience. The restaurant is right below my apartment, so I expected better. I ordered through DoorDash and picked up the food myself, but it was already cold when I got it. The chicken was cold, and while the waffles were cooked, they weren’t warm either. To make matters worse, the hot sauce had leaked into the food because the containers weren’t properly sealed. Overall, not a great first impression.
