    B&B Breakfast Wrap
 $17.75
    Sabrina C.

    BLUF: Would come again. Amazing wrap, French toast & wrap, and service. Food (4/5): Portions are quite small for the prices, but they're packed with flavor. The French toast flight was 2 slices of bread for $16.75. The B&B Breakfast Wrap was delicious and was $17.75. Service (5/5): Service was fast. We ordered and food was ready in what seemed to be 10 mins, but then again... it was 2 slices of bread and a wrap. Our server was kind and helpful. We chatted a little bit about the artwork & how he was new there. Ambiance (5/5): Colorful interior and lots of seating. Bright colors everywhere with amazing and unique art everywhere. It's close to a lot of other places to eat and shops.

    I was in Chicago for one day and this place was recommended from someone back home. I'm glad that they recommended it, was delicious. I got the Caramel French toast, came with four triangles for $13. I was got a Bowl of fruit as well. The French toast was à la cart. Lazarus was my waiter, very kind and attentive. If I come back to Chicago, I would come back. I went by myself and was seated immediately. Very clean, and chill atmosphere.

    The food was amazing, especially the French toast! The service was also wonderful; the staff were warm and delightful. The only thing we wish we knew sooner was that it is BYOB, so you must bring a bottle if you want mimosas.

    The food was amazing... so much to choose from but our server helped chisel down the choices as we spoke. So friendly and helpful! The vibe in the restaurant was so comfortable, welcoming, and inclusive! I loved the french toast, especially the lemon and blueberry and my husband totally enjoyed the poutine! Can't wait to go back

    Without a doubt, a TOP BRUNCH SPOT. Food was spot on delicious. Server Tusiime was great; entertaining & extremely accommodating. The Biscuit & Chicken Gravy was AMAZING !!! The Cluck-N-Gaufre (Goof) was AMAZING !!! The Lemon French Toast was AMAZING !!! The Manager encouraged a To-Go order of the Crab & Crawfish cake (after our meal) and was well worth it. Nice casual place with decor that needs just a little love (not on the Food, they take care of that) Thank you Tusiime, Fred, & staff !!!

    A big must when I visit Chicago. Hands down one of my favorite breakfast spots. The last time I visited, it was towards the end of lunch and it wasn't too busy. This time? There was a line out the door! But luckily I didn't wait too long - maybe 20 minutes. They show you their weekly specials by sharing photos of the dishes on their iPhone. It's nice to see exactly what each dish looks like right then and there. To start, we split the salmon croquettes, and I wasn't expecting them to taste so home-cooked - It tasted like something my mom would make. The order only comes with two, but I could have easily eaten more than that! The french toast flavors were lemon, blueberry, strawberry, and brown sugar - absolutely incredible. I remembered the lemon one from my last visit and probably should have asked if I could get all lemon. I can't believe how much it tastes just like lemon cake! Strawberry was my second favorite. The catfish filet was also well seasoned and fried perfectly. Can't wait to be back!

    The French toast here is to die for. It was absolutely fabulous and I will be coming back here again. Super cute breakfast place in Lincoln park.

    Went to Batter & Berries for the French toast -- my favorite breakfast dish -- and I wasn't disappointed! I ordered the strawberry French toast (amazing!) but the French toast flight looked just as tempting. My partner got the chicken and waffles and said it was one of the best he's ever had. Special shoutout to our waitress -- I was seriously craving an iced latte, and even though it wasn't on the menu, she went out of her way to make one for me. Total lifesaver! Everyone we met was so friendly, and the food absolutely matched the great vibes. If you're in the area, definitely stop by for a fantastic brunch experience!

    Catfish Special
    Aaron A.

    Surrounded by endless breakfast options in Lakeview, Batter & Berries stands out for its interesting renditions on breakfast fare. Having a waitlist option on Yelp is a definite plus and greatly appreciated -- we actually got seated earlier than expected. Our waiter greeted us and immediately made us feel welcome. She gave vivid descriptions of the specials and always checked in to see if we needed anything. Now, the food. It seems like most dishes were creole inspired. We ordered the catfish special, which came with eggs any style and their signature cheesy hash browns. I also ordered the spinach omelette that was accompanied by the hash browns. The catfish was seasoned well and the omelette was okay. The hash browns were the only detriment, as they were cemented mounds of cheese and shredded potatoes. We also ordered a side of the apple cider French toast and it had good flavor, but the bread was hardly toasted or battered, unlike the restaurant name might suggest. It was a charming breakfast spot and a good stop for anyone seeking a unique meal to start the day.

    A friend and I decided to pop in for brunch as we were perusing the LINKIN PARK area. And of course it did not disappoint. I had the catfish with eggs , hashbrowns. My friend had strawberry French toast with mixed veggies. The service was amazing, the server was such fun. The ambiance is always a nice chill vibe.

    We arrived at 11 on a Wednesday and it was packed! Luckily we got a table. You can't be seated until your entire table is there. Food They have french toast specials every week. This week was peach cobbler, so I had to get it! It was really good and came with 4 pieces. You can also get a french toast sampler. I appreciated you could just order a half order of french toast if you wanted it as a side or even your main meal. My friend got the brisket hash and it was delish. The hashbrowns had cheese in them and there was so much meat. Ambiance I thought this place was bigger from the outside. I'd recommend going with a group of 2 or 4, as there aren't tons of tables and you will have a better chance of getting seated faster. Service Our waitress was the best, she was so positive and helped us through the menu.

She seated us in a quiet spot in the corner near the restrooms. Our waiter was attentive and funny. For me, he was the best part of the entire experience. I don't care much for breakfast food, so I had the American burger. I prefer my burgers well done but ordered it medium well because I didn't want the cooks to burn the patty. The burger was very greasy, and not very good. It also had a slight off-putting smell that made me worry about becoming ill. (Thankfully that didn't happen) It tasted okay, but I can't say that it was enjoyable. It was edible, which isn't saying much. The waffle fries were nothing spectacular either. I was disappointed with my food. I also had the mango smoothie, which was decent. My sister had the corned beef hash, eggs, toast, and potatoes. She really liked her food, especially the corned beef. My friend Shannon had the French toast flight, but she didn't eat much of it because she said it was too sweet. Our other friend had the eggs, bacon, and potatoes, which he enjoyed. I wouldn't visit Chicago Waffles again, but everyone else in my party said they would so take that for what it's worth. The restaurant was busy, but the staff did a great job running the show. The space is bright and cozy. We didn't feel rushed even though the restaurant was bustling. I'm giving it 3 stars since two of my friends enjoyed their food.

Not only were the crepes delicious (and with fresh fruit), but for a little breakfast spot in a strip mall I was VERY surprised by the beautiful presentation. I'm not someone who typically takes pictures of food, but I had to take a picture this time! The bacon was cooked just the way I like it, a little crispy + a little chewy = perfection. They do kind of crank the AC, and even as person who likes it a little chilly, I was a tad cold. But that's a very minor thing, and it would never prevent me from recommending this hidden gem! I'll definitely return to try some of the other breakfast options here, especially after the waitress told me everyone loves their pancakes.
