We here for my Fiance group party, about 35 of us, planned over 2 months ago, they knew what we were eating and how many was eating what, we get there at 5, they didn't start serving til 6:15pm, they brought out the salad no dressing, no salt & pepper on the tables, very thin napkins, they finally bring out the salad dressing (salad is warm now), finished our salad, now they bring out the bread & butter, butter was so cold, you couldn't spread it on the bread. 20 minutes later, they start serving dinner, I had prime rib, in which I was served last because she forgot. No horseradish, no beef broth (because that's what it taste like), the meat had no seasoning. This might be a good restaurant for everyday eating, but not for big parties read more

In an almost-empty restaurant at about 8:30 on a weekday morning, it took forever to get two omelets. (Maybe the cooking staff had to make a run to the feed store up the street to purchase chicks, and grow them into hens capable of laying eggs?) Though the waiter comped us a piece of coffee cake. Which was icky-sweet and greasy; one bite was enough. Denver omelet and homefries both pretty greasy; ate about half. Part of what I ate went right through me. The rest sat like a lump of lead in my stomach for two hours. I felt so bad I that I needed to lie down until the worst of it wore off. Luckily, friend liked his breakfast OK. Had never been to this cafe before, and I will not be going back. One star for the food, three stars for the service. I've had to revise this. I give the food a zero. Brought home the uneaten part of my omelet and it's just plain revolting. Took one bite, and the rest went into the trash. I'm not an especially picky eater, though I do go for fresh ingredients. This omelet just tastes "off." And it's pretty hard to screw up an omelet. The coffee was ok, though not as hot as it should have been. And it takes real "skills" to screw up Peerless coffee! I will not be setting foot in this place again!!!! read more

Just got the family pancake meal- what a treat and great takeout service. We are all stuffed- time for a nap!!!!'

6/17/17 Service * Food *** Our party of 6 were served by Luis this morning and couldn't be more disappointed with his inability to gauge the group by calling everyone amigo and speaking to some in Spanish because of his ethnic impression of the group. O ly two of us actually speak Spanish. He sometimes rattled iff complete phrases to non-Spanish speaking persons. In fact, only one person actually spoke/replied in Spanish because their Spanish speaking ability was above average. So, if you've ever felt you were being profiled by other ethnic groups - it could happen from ypur own. Luis never came back to refill during the meal only towards the end and never offered jelly or jam to the table to accompany the toast. He also brought a verry sloppy plate of O'Brien potatoes that were refused - he never offered a different plate of those same potatoes. He clearly could use some training. read more

We always have a great time here, staff is great . we always feel like family, foods real good and the owners are even around and about talking to guest making sure you are doing great and always looking for a way to make it better. Deserts are soooooo good brownie mud bash" chocoholic best friend" I like to switch to vanilla though. Recommend to my family and friends. read more

The breakfast was great and service was great!! But for this establishment to let dogs (non-service) sit in a purse in a chair and sniff peoples food when the waiter/waitress pass that's unacceptable!!! Something needs to change, I understand people love there dogs and animals but it's getting ridiculous. I had to pack my food up and leave because it's unsanitary!!! read more

This place has a great breakfast menu and you can order it all day. Their portions are very large and you get what you pay for here. Their bacon is thick and hearty and I love their biscuits and gravy, scrambles and omelettes. The service is great too. read more

Paid my first visit to ButtercuP and the food was great! The drinks were great, too. I loved the Blushing Buttercup. Will definitely be back again soon! read more

Good breakfasts every time we've visited. Good coffee. Pleasant servers (Pearl is friendly and fun). Modern-look remodel isn't my favorite but it's not the type of place we go to for decor, anyway. The result is a clean look. The lunch I ordered today was a very good chicken pesto sandwich and the portion was generous. Everyone In our party was happy with their order. read more

We are regulars at this cafe bit tonight the food was below par. We had a great waiter and service as always was great. My prime rib was chewy. I gave most of it to my husband who had ordered meatloaf. The meatloaf was delicious but barely warm. My baked potato tasted like a reheated potato from the night before. The fresh veges had no flavor . To top it off, a lady behind me was having a coughing fit that lasted the entire dinner time. I felt bad that clearly she was congested and probably should not have been in public. I was ready to call 911 for her. Bad dinner and won't be back. I can eat reheated food at home much cheaper. Best part of dinner was my glass of wine and the hot homemade bread. read more

Mike and I went for Breakfast. The service was fabulous and ample food. Mike ordered the Belguim waffle with bacon and scrambled eggs.. delish. I ordered the chicken fried steak came with alot but we always share. .. was delish. I requested my eggs to be yokey not raw and not brown. I commend the chef. He did a perfect job on my eggs. Mike and I love hot chocolate and we were again not dissappointed. Overall.. pleasant experience, food was great and price was right. Bon Appetit read more

ButtercuP - American Near Me - Concord, California

Went to Buttercup on Thanksgiving morning around 7:30 for breakfast, went early because I know it's a family restaurant and figured lots of people would be coming here to have some breakfast before they cook the big mean. My buddy and I sat down and were greeted right away by our server who was extremely kind. We started off with the premium Bloody Mary which had a Cajun spiced rim and was Grey Goose vodka instead of the well, the drink had a very nice garnish but the spice wasn't there, I think they are using a pre-made mixture instead of making their own which there is nothing wrong with but I just like mine a little spicier and more horseradish. For breakfast I ordered the Country Fried steak and eggs with hash browns and my buddy ordered the kitchen sink omelette with hash browns as well. The country fried steak was fried perfectly and was smothered with a nice sausage gravy, the eggs in which I ordered came out over medium instead of sunny side up which really wasn't a big deal to me at all but I just like my eggs really runny to soak up the potatoes. For the gravy I think if they added a touch more pepper and let is cook down a little bit more it would've been even better than what it was, it was a little runny but who cares it tasted excellent on the country fried steak. For the kitchen sink omelette all I can saw is WOW! That thing was enormous and when they say kitchen sink, it definitely had every ingredient but the kitchen sink in there. The omelette itself was light and fluffy and loaded with goodness, the cooks in the back definitely know how to make an omelette. Overall it was definitely a great experience, thank you to all the staff front and back who came in to work on Thanksgiving to serve all the people who came in to eat, I will most definitely be back for breakfast in the near future. Great job Buttercup, keep up the great work! read more

ButtercuP - Premium Bloody Mary, highly recommended! Love the hurricane glass that it is served in and great garnish. - American Near Me - Concord, California

We are currently eating at ButtercuP in Concord. Food good, Service excellent, and they are cleaning everything in addition to table, chairs and menus, they are sanitizing baseboards, light fixtures and walls! read more

We had a huge group. They were extremely accommodating. Also split our checks without asking. Our waitress was exceptional.

It took forever to get our food and come to find out that the waitress' order never went through. Then when we got our food and it was cold. The waitress was nice but the food was below expectations. First time there and probably the last time. read more

My father, sister, and I had breakfast here. We had homemade omelettes and waffles. The service was fantastic. We really appreciated the attention, care, and warm conversation of our server, Pearl. Buttercup is fortunate to have such a gracious and charming worker. She made our morning! read more

Food was ok... ordered chilli cheese fries (not very good), nachos (they were average), Rueben sandwich (meat was though but decent flavor, and Philly cheese steak (not very good). The decor is obviously new and clean looking. Probably won't come here again... read more

I recall this location and it being one of the worst meals ever. Food was served ice cold and dropped in front of me without asking any questions by the waiter. I tried to get the waiter's attention but he just dropped the check on my table and pretty much ran away before I was able to say anything. I complained to the manager and I pretty much just got a bunch of excuses about the place being busy and finally after about 15 minutes of arguing finally they offered the meal for free. Considering I didn't eat it, there wasn't really anything to pay for. So yeah, this place blows, won't go back. Absolutely nothing redeeming about my experience here. read more

Second time here and I have nothing but positive things about to say. They're renovating and the interior looks so much more updated. They serve breakfast all day, huge bonus, as well as nice seasonal items. I had the Cinniscuit french toast with blueberry sauce. So good! The portions are huge too so i ended being full before eating my eggs. I highly recommend it as its their own creation and the blueberries compliment it so well. We will definitely be back for more buttercup. read more

Found this place on YELP thought we would try it since it was clsoe to the hospital. Bad choice. It looks like an old Denny's inside. All senior citizens. I knew the food was going to be over salty, frozen, processed etc. Sure enough it was. I asked for no cheese on my eggs. Guess what was on my eggs? I didn't even bother to return it, not at this type of place. Hashbrowns were so oily. The salt shaker had tons of black stuff sitting at the bottom. The mustard bottle had dried up mustard and some type of green stuff on it. Told the waitress she brought a new one but it was too late. I had to get out of there as fast as I could. So gross, garbage. I rather had eaten at Denny's put it that way. read more

Next time someone ask me about Buttercup Grill and Bar, I will tell them the same thing DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. Starting from the service, no attention from the moment you walk in and if you ask for something they go hear and roll their eyes at you. The only attention you get is when it is time for the bill. Food is ok but service sucks. So I will say just eat somewhere else where the food!! and service!! is great. read more

Great service, pleasant atmosphere and vegetarian options that are actually yummy. I was worried that this place would be like so many of its kind and serve non- meat dishes as if my choice to not eat meat means I don't care about how my food tastes, but I was very pleasantly surprised! I've had experiences like that in many similar places so I usually avoid them. It is so nice to be able to go to a place like this that my husband and kids like where I don't have to resign myself to something gross. I had the Avocado melt and I loved it. I did not expect to like it so much, but it had plenty of salad greens and some kind of pesto mayonnaise with jack cheese on grilled sourdough. I had it with the curly fries and ranch dressing instead of fruit. My daughter loved that they had pancakes at 5pm and I couldn't believe it was open until 10pm on New Year's Eve! They actually had some other vegetarian options that I will be trying some other time, but Im not sure about the veggie burger since it is listed under the 'lite' section. It makes me wonder what the burger is made from and I would rather have high fat content than low fat fake and/ or plastic stuff. The service is always really great here. Now that I have seen more than their breakfast menu I will be back more often. read more

Pearl is the most amazing waitress here. I love the food, she's always there. The line on a Sunday afternoon is worth the amazing service and wonderful food. The waitstaff is amazing with children as well. They can make anyone smile! read more

Where do I begin?...The service was great. We were greeted professionally as we entered this place for the very firt time. My husband ordered the Turkey dinner, and I ordered Chicken Piccata. Worst mistake ever! Mine tasted like straight up hospital cafeteria food. The Turkey dinner was straight up out of a can!!! I have to say the appetizers were probably the best out of the whole experience!. I wouldn't ever go back! read more

My daughters swim team went to this restaurant the swimmers who made it to the county meet were getting together in their back room wonderful they were having the parents and siblings sit outside at the patio the patio was disgustingly dirty the tables and chairs were covered in dust and road grime and it was very loud with traffic noise since it faces Clayton Road when my son and I went back to the reception area to be seated inside I was told that I was either to sit with the team in the back room where I was told I should not be because I was not one of the kids who made it to County or I was to sit outside but I was not allowed to sit in the restaurant with my five-year-old who has sensory processing disorder I am discussed it with the treatment I received I have now found out that the man who was so rude to me was in fact to the owner Been Shivar read more

Buttercup still maintains great food and service at a reasonable price! It's nice to visit this place when I come from So Cal.

We always enjoy the Buttercup grill. We have a favorite waitress that we always ask for whenever we go and she is great. The service is great, the food is good with lots of variety. I often get the salmon, but everything I try, I usually enjoy. Its also nice that they have a bar so we can have drinks with dinner on occasion. The pricing is also affordable which really helps. I would recommend Buttercup Grill to locals looking for reliable service and good food. read more

My family and I decided to have lunch here yesterday and arrived at what was probably their busiest hour. Although the wait was very long, a nice young man, who seemed to be the Manager, kept checking in with us to apologize for the wait and give us status updates. Eventually, we were seated in a great location for our party of six. Our server, Luis, was just outstanding! He was friendly, patient, attentive and efficient, all at the same time! He was attending many tables, but never once were we wanting for anything. Luis was right there attending to our every need. On top of the great service we received from Luis, the food was delicious - perfectly seasoned and at just the right temperature. We were all so pleased with our experience here that I just had to take a moment to share. read more

Great service, great food. Quiet and clean. And a huge TV in the bar area (full bar) with sports playing for you sporty people...

This place is like a Denny's but with much better quality and service. We come here for lunch often since it's right down the road from our office. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Buffalo shrimp is amazing, their salads are huge, and the curly fries are yum. read more

This is by far my favorite Buttercup location! My fiance and I used to live right down the street, so on our days off we'd sleep in and head over to Buttercup for a late breakfast (they serve breakfast ALL DAY!). The food is delicious, certainly not high-end but a perfect little diner for breakfast or lunch. The food always comes out FAST! And their bloody mary's are sooo tasty, especially when ordered SPICY ;) There is one waitress that is tall with dark skin and a deep voice that always called my man "Doctor." She is a RIOT! I love her. Also, the pies are to die for! The peanut butter cup one is TROUBLE!!!!!... Only because once you start eating it you won't want to put it down! Buttercup is a classic :] read more

Bad service - they are money hungry and food is awe full... do not recommend. My son asked for extra cereal from kids menu after he had his first meal which came with fruit and toast... they charged Amex price just for the cereal and argued over a bowl of fruit... over 3 dollar difference. Really! Do not recommend read more

It's ok as far as breakfast places go. Went here with the inlaws when they were in town out of convenience. Not the most favorite place in the world, but definitely had worse. Does tend to get busy here on weekends so just beware :) read more

The service is always great but the food is only okay. Pretty basic sandwiches, salads and other entrees. Great place for meeting with large groups but expect to wait during peak times. read more

I really like the Buttercup in Oakland. So I went to this place on my lunch break because I was craving some breakfast. I ordered a pancakes, hash browns, links and eggs. I got all the way back to my office to find my hash browns were hash blacks (they were burnt). My pancakes were not soft and fluffy like Oakland's Chiefs but tough and way over cooked. I had also left a tip thinking I had gotten good service. So I was so upset that I called back to speak with the manager (the same guy that had just assured me that everything was fine 15 mins ago) and I explained everything. He says, "What do you want me to do. Umm, Ok you can bring them back and I will give you some more. Ok". I told him I had no time to bring them back, and besides that they were in the trash. I expressed to him that I expected better and I will never come back. He said that's all he can do. So I will never go back. read more

This place has been around for awhile, I guess recently they remodeled and wow it looks good. They have there spin on a happy hour which is actually a morning happy hour. There food was good had nice flavor and was good portions. I'd go here again for sure. read more

Terrible service! High price for mediocre food. Don't bother! Waitress had a bad attitude. Had to make repeated requests to have order delivered to the table. Forgot the dinner salad all together. read more
