I enjoy Batter & Berries a lot and have been here multiple times and plan to continue visiting in the future! This place usually always has a wait so be prepared by joining the waitlist or waiting around (in my experience). I love their revolving specials. Their mimosa flight is yummy too. I love using the inKind app where you can earn cash back and rewards for paying through their app too. Nothing notable about the ambiance, but I've had nothing but positive service experiences, all the servers are knowledgeable about the food and what's offered. I do feel like the food is on the pricier end, but as for taste I deem it worth it! They're chocolate covered strawberry waffle and mix they had available for Black restaurant week was the BESTTTTTT ever though, I hope they bring it back!!! read more

I recently had the catfish meal with scrambled eggs and hashowns. The meal was good but the wait time was extremely long. My party was there for more than one hour. Waitstaff was very busy which affected the customer service received. Ambiance was busy with music playing in the background. FYI, this place is BYOB, go to the market next door if you want alcoholic beverages. ​​ read more

Batter & Berries - Catfish entree - Waffles Near Me - Olympia Fields, Illinois

Visited today and I am happy to say I will be back the next time I am in Chicago. We tried the French toast flight and our favorite was the caramel and lemon. Absolutely delicious. I had the Alfredo omelet and whoever came up with this idea I can'tthank them enough. On top of that my husband had the sausage omelet and he is very judgemental and he ate every bit of it. The crusted potatoes were awesome and the mini crab cakes were on point. If you are ever in Chicago and you like a good breakfast GO! read more

I was so disappointed everything is sweet. I wanted hot sauce for my cat fish that was not sweet. I was told that all of it was sweet. The butter for the pancakes and waffles was sweet which made them too sweet. They charges a service fee and w ended up paying an additional 40% of our bill. The cat fish had a crunch breading that was thicker than the catfish. I've eaten her before and enjoyed it. I guess things change. read more

I will walk miles to get to the French Toast Flight. It is really that good! Overall, my visit went well. Short wait time on a packed day. The server was okay. I wished she would have checked on us a little more. The Good? The chicken sausage is packed with flavor. Don't be fooled by its appearance. It's so yummy. The Great? You can NEVER go wrong with ordering the french toast. It's amazing. The Okay? The banana waffle was drowned in sauce making it too soft for my liking. Not terrible, but not great. This is a restaurant I will definitely visit again. read more

A short uber trip to Lincoln Park on Thursday AM, we chose here for our breakfast. Seeing they had several locations, I was concerned about it being a chain and not having that certain charm - but all that went out the window when upon walking up - the front glass door was boarded up from being broken. Large seating area - they do have a live waitlist on Yelp to utilize but we never had to as there was plenty of seats available. I ordered the breakfast burrito which had cheese hashbrowns, as well as eggs and bacon. The cheese wrap was soft and the ingredients were very good. Served with their own hot sauce - this was a very good start to the trip food-wise. I also picked at the French toast flight - which were very good and there were several flavors as well as a weekly flavor added. Our server was great - friendly and attentive. read more

The food was very well-prepared and the wait staff sufficiently attentive. My questions to the owners - how can you operate a breakfast-lunch-brunch establishment without jelly (you serve biscuits in addition to toast), iced tea or grits? These items are a given in the majority of restaurants that serve breakfast. Please add them to your menu. Thank you. read more

Always have a nice experience here. Just FYI to anyone wanting drinks it's now BYOB. French toast is always a must!

I've avoided this location since it's opening bc I heard they had problems. Welp, I'm guessing they have resolved them because I truly enjoyed my breakfast. Restaurant is a lot larger than the city location and even offers outdoor seating. Service was very professional and personable. Wished the food had been hotter, but it was good. read more

Excellent food and inviting atmosphere. My friend had the waffle flight and I got the Jambalaya Omelet which came with a half order of the waffle of the week: Oreo. The creole sauce was AMAZING and so delicious. The waffles were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Excellent chocolate and vanilla marscapone. Service was attentive and friendly. read more

We had high hopes but honestly it was super disappointing. We were seated and given menus but when asking about food allergies they were unable to help. We ended up leaving without ordering because it was unclear if they could accommodate special dietary concerns. They just were not even interested in trying. Cute spot, but not worth a possible hospital visit. read more

We were there for lunch today and ordered and split and tortilla soup and a vegetable burrito. salsa were served when we walked in. Surprisingly the chips were crushed. They look like they came from the bottom of the bag. The tortillas soup tasted like a souped up version of Campbell's tomato soup and the burrito which was certainly hot and loaded with things only had chopped up vegetables and no flavor maybe add some cheese, tomatoes and refried beans or something... I hope that our experience was an exception because the people were very nice. read more

I had forgotten that B&B opened a location in Olympia Fields. I popped in on Saturday morning and got turned out. The catfish with eggs and cheesy hashbrowns were outstanding. I ordered the waffle flight also. Strawberry, blueberry, pecan caramel, and lemon. Didn't make any sense to be so blooming delicious. Went back a few Sayurdays later and had the chicken and shrimp alfredo with cheesy hashbrowns and a small order of creme brulee French toast. Full blown turned out. Straight-up yum. This location gets crowded, but there is enough space to accommodate everyone. I like the whole vibe of this location, from the hostess to the servers to the output from the kitchen. read more

The service was very good. Marcia was thoughtful, helpful and attentive. Upon entering we were told about a 20-30 minute wait, but they said it would be less, and it was less than 15 minutes. The food was mostly good. The catfish special with eggs and hash browns was amazing. The fish was fresh, flavored well and the eggs/ gouda cheese were tasty. The apple waffle was lacking. We have seen other waffles here before, but this was a deflated looking presentation. 3 meager apple slices on top, just soured that part. The waffle was very sweet, and over 'cinnamon-ed'. I wished that I just gotten a French toast flight, which never is a disappointment (definitely will, next time). The chicken fajita omelet was OK. Tasty but, the cheese distribution was uneven (mostly in the eggs). We BYOB'd with the 1/2 carafe mix of orange and cranberry juices and it was on point. Will come again. The manager was friendly and helpful as well. read more

Fantastic French toast. Drove 50 minutes from Woodfield because I was looking for a new place and I love French toast. It did not disappoint! Instead of going for the really sweet type, I asked if they had regular normal French toast and our wonderful server, Marcia, said she could make it happen! (It was rung in as caramel only because there wasn't a plain version available so no worries.) I asked for crispy bacon and it was not only crispy, but the thick style! The coffee was fresh and delicious and all of the staff were kind and helpful. If you haven't tried it, take a trip next Sunday~ (there is a 3% surcharge on CC charges but it helps them deflect some charges from the company) Great day! read more

Food not so good. Gravy from the biscuits and gravy was SWEET and the biscuits were hard.

First time at this location; beautiful purple and gold themed space. Our server M.J. was amazing; she did her thing to make sure everything was good. My drink; blueberry mimosa was pretty good. The food; OMG! The lemon french toast was the best I have ever had. Great with the seafood cakes if you want a little something different. There is a difference between the caramel cake french toast which is infused with a bit of liquor and the caramel french toast which is alcohol free. Both were delicious. Did not try the omelette but was told it was good. I'll be back soon. Looking for M. J. read more

On arrival placed on waitlist , reason the place was packed . On entry brunch spot painted yellow with televisions on the walls. Music playing people talking and laughing as they should it's brunch . Seated at a high top table given menus and drink minus . I'm going to be honest I wasn't expecting good things , reason most popular spots lack on customer service and usually all hype . Marcia W our waitress proved me wrong, she was attentive and noticed all the food was on the table, but my French toast flight. She assured me it was enroute , and apologized about the miscommunication. Food was delivere hot the Salmon croquettes were good . The hash brown with chesse was delicious, the park forest Paloma could feed a family of 4 , kids stated that was good and hearty . Stawberry French toast didn't have to ask the plate was demolished. My French toast sampler was different and delicious I like the idea I was given one of each , my mimosas flight was tasty and a table favorite. Overall great brunch , and I wouldn't mind the 18% service charge reason it was well deserved . I will suggest this to others who visit the Chicago area . read more

This is my second time coming to this location and it saddens me that this black establishment has fallen on service, food and atmosphere. The one up north is still the best. Please step up too their standards. The staff is overwhelmed and service sucks. The food is lacking, not at all what the original b&b serve. Do better. read more

I ordered the smothered chicken topped with gravy, served over eggs, and hash browns with cheese. It was delicious! My husband had chicken sandwiches with fries, which were also very good. Our waitress was friendly and took the time to explain the special of the day. The restaurant was clean, and all the staff were very pleasant. read more

This place is phenomenal. I had been wanting to try it for years before I moved away. I happen to be in town for a funeral and went with my sister, niece and great niece. Everyone loved the food, except the greens. My sister wasn't a fan. The fried chicken flavor was a little complex for my 11 year old great niece. I had the pit masters gumbo. It was great!! Then I had the gulf fish ponchatrain with trout, corn maque choux and a bear blanc sauce, a side of red beans to go and shared the beignets. For drink I had a Jameson old fashioned. The only dissatisfaction was when I asked about bread, I was told they only had cornbread, which I don't like. I was surprised there was no toasted French baguettes. I would definitely return. I pictured something a little more casual, and was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and vibe. read more

Always a great time at Batter & Berries. Super French toast flight is top tier! Glad there are multiple locations now.

I've been going to Lincoln Park location for years. Decided to go with a friend to Batter and Berries suburb location for brunch. Plenty of free parking (parking lot is huge!) The decor is colorful and fun (purple and yellow) We were given a table immediately in outside patio. The place is very large with a full bar and seating on one side and seating on the other side of the establishment. The staff is friendly and responsive to requests of more ice or napkins. Best item on menu is The Flight, a variety of French Toast flavors. Feel free to share the dish, then order a main course for yourselves. Ordered the Fajita chicken omlet (egg white omlet may be ordered) which comes with cheesy hash browns. Everything was delicious! I live closer to Lincoln Park location; the trip to visit friends who were located near the Olympia Fields location was worth the trip. We all had a delightful time! read more

My nieces wanted to treat me to a brunch place. From the time we arrived the service was top tier. The waitress name was Alicia she was very educated on the menu and the specials. The place was clean and let's just to how the food was. I ordered French toast, eggs, sausages. Everything was so good my stomach was having a PARTY..... The whole entire staff made us feel welcome especially to someone that doesn't live there. I highly recommend this place. Thank you read more

Oh my goodness. If I could leave 0 stars I would. The service was abysmal. We were a party of 3 and requested to be seated outside since there were tables available immediately. We placed drink orders, two coffees and a round of water. one coffee came, but mine never did. Then about 30 mins later our food came out which would've been great except the hashbrowns were raw. I asked for cooked hashbrowns and condiments. 10 more mins later and a new plate of raw unseasoned hashbrowns came out. Gross. No one here cares about what's being prepared for guests and that's unfortunate considering the price point. I will not be back and I hope this establishment considers paying their staff more and training them better so guests can have an enjoyable experience. Side note, the bathroom was filthy and there were 4 tables with plates that hadn't been bussed on the patio. I'm appalled, and you should be too. I wish we had just gone Lumes. read more

My cousins and I recently visited this location to celebrate a birthday. We went on a Monday and they were quite busy. Our party was originally told that there would be a 45 minute wait. We ended up waiting over an hour for a table. I ordered the mimosa flight, a sausage omelette and a side of bacon. The blueberry mimosa was my least favorite but I enjoyed the strawberry and apple flavors. I meant to order the gravy that comes with the omelette on the side but I forgot. The gravy had a hint of sweetness, which was unexpected. I wasn't a fan of it on the omelette but I like it when I dipped my bacon in it. I would order the omelette again with the gravy on the side. read more

Customer service is not the greatest. The host is not inviting into the establishment.

I went here for the first time and it was Nice! I order the French toast flight and it was sweet and full of flavor! The service wasn't terrible, we only waited about 10-15 mins for a table after arriving and our waitress was nice!

The food is too expensive for poor service. My waitress did not offer me coffee or anything else to drink. She did not come check on my table once my food came to offer me any condiments. She pressed 20% for the tip on her own. I gave her more to even off my bill. She did not earn it!! read more

The food at this location isn't the same at the one up North and the Service could be better but the waitress I experienced today requires more training, the attitude needs some adjusting. I asked for a separate glass of ice from my juice as she sat down our juices I simply reminded her of my ice and her swift response was " Two hands" which meant i can only carry two cups at a time which is understandable but not necessary. Instead she could have simply said no problem i'm bringing it next, this new generation requires way more training than the older generation we were raised with respect. The Ambiance was comforting, but i scratched my itch. I'm okay now. read more

Visited for the first time on 9/21/25, and was disappointed just walking up to the entrance. All the glass was filthy! Including the door! This indicates disrespect for the customers and is especially unbecoming to a food establishment. The music was terrible and too loud. I will say the service, once seated, was good and attentive, hence the two stars. My spinach omelet was ok, not enough cheese and the potatoes were lukewarm. Their best dish appears to be the french toast. I will not return. read more
