I understand this is a chain, but I want to give a shout out to our server, Pearl. Our server made us feel very welcomed and was just the sweetest! If you get Pearl as your server, she will take care of you and make you feel at home. We had the eggs Benedict. Mine with linguistic and my husband had the vegetarian. Drinks are off the hook, and a friendly place for breakfast. We are definitely coming back here. read more

Good food, me and my family eat here periodically and the staff is always so nice and very lively.

I normally don't do reviews, but I'm the type of person who prefers to see photos of food before I order because it helps me make decisions, and I was absolutely shocked that not a single person on the entire internet had ever uploaded a photo of the incredible macaroni and cheese at this restaurant, on Yelp or on Google. The mac is plentiful. It is cheesy. It is melty. The cream sauce is delicious. Get it with the bacon because they do not skimp. Literally my only criticism is that the noodles were a little too soft for my personal preference, but I know people who absolutely love a soft noodle (and that's okay). Just to round out this review, the ambiance was lovely and our server Paula was perfectly attentive. The staff also made it really easy to split the bill item by item at the end when my group paid at the cash register. Oh, and the curly fries were bomb (sprinkled with black pepper)... and they have free lollipops to-go. You're welcome. read more

Love how fast the service is at ButtercuP! It gives a homey vibe and the clientele is from different generations. The food is good - would appreciate crust on my steak but the meat is tender. My husband loved his Philly sandwich - cheese, meat and veggies are well prepped. Highlight for me is the potato skins and the bacon on top of it. Overall, we'll come back if we are in the area. read more

Great food and superior service. I had the liver and onions. So delicious. I went with a large group and they allowed us to have separate checks. read more

From the broken door hardware, to the to the uncleanliness feel, to the food this place shows signs of a dire need of some sort of upgrade. The only redeeming factor was the service by Nicholas was very good. We ordered a hamburger and grilled Ruben Sandwich. The burger was ordered medium and was delivered to the table very very well done. Actually I would say burnt. Same with the Ruben. Grilled to the point that had the texture of crispy burnt meat. The fruit served with that sandwich was not ripe with the exception of the one grape and strawberry. The only reason this place didn't receive one star was the great service read more

large variety of foods, nice big place, friendly servers, pretty fast service but mediocre food

Great place to dine and a very clean updated restaurant. Food was great and the server. Downside was the size of the margarita I was served. Looked like a 3 or 4 oz small glass. Maybe they could up the price and make it more appealing read more

Flavor on top of flavor for this particular Buttercup. Especially the cheesy grits it reminded me of home

I discover this place while driving on Clayton Rd. I had to check this place out because it seem like a good place to eat there. I had dinner at this place and my service was GREAT! My server made sure I was doing great...every single time her pass by my table (I have to admit that was beyond great service at that restaurant). I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at this location. Each time I come to ButtercuP I always gotten great service. Parking at this location is accessible and plenty of spaces to park at. The inside was 100% clean without any messes at the table and floor. The food at ButtercuP is great...with fabulous choices to chose from the menu. I will come back to this location in the future. read more

ButtercuP - Bacon and Eggs - American Near Me - Concord, California

We enjoyed a great late lunch at ButtercuP this week, our first time there. Paula answered the phone when we called to ask if there was a wait, and her friendly and welcoming response convinced us to try this totally solid diner. We had a Belgian waffle with eggs and bacon, and a sandwich with grilled turkey, avocado, and cheddar, served with fries. Both Paula, who ended up being our server, and the kitchen staff, remembered our special requests...extra crispy bacon, no seasoning on the fries and no dressing on the sandwich, a side order of mayo, water without ice... Both meals were prepared well and tasted good, and service was excellent. I will be back to try some other options. read more

literally the best restaurant in Concord. Mickey was amazing and our food was top-tier. Definitely recommend for a date night or just a chill dai out with the fam. Whether you get lunch or dinner, love it here :) read more

The staff is really nice, but I feel the food is frozen and not fresh. I suppose it's acceptable if you have no other options, but it's definitely not my first choice. I miss small, family-owned restaurants and I'm tired of all these corporate chains. read more

It's not very eye catching from afar but as soon as I walk in I got greeted and seated immediately. I had a great Easter breakfast with my family. Churro Waffle: 5/5 Incredible! Tasted like funnel cake and had a great amount of wipe cream! Fruit: 4/5 Fresh had mostly cantaloupe (which I don't mind because I love cantaloupe) Hash browns: 4/5 Good! read more

Went for lunch with a friend. She had the chicken piccata meal & I had the Chinese chicken salad. Huge portions & deliciousness throughout. We both brought home plenty of leftovers. Excellent service & even brought my husband for dinner The next day. I had the prime rib dinner & it was great. Such a bargain meal & the meat was cooked to perfection. Will be returning regularly! read more

The service at this place is great. All the servers had great attitude and even one who wasn't serving us was kind and brought out refills. We had the sampler appetizer which had 2 mozzarella sticks, potato skins, wings and strips. All of them were over fried. They were extra crunchy and brown. The Belgian waffle was also over cooked. It was extra brown. The chicken fried steak was the same. It was heavily fried. Eggs were done correctly though and hash browns were good. Overall nothing we had was extraordinary. It was all ok. read more

All Buttercups have gone downhill. I have eaten countless meals at all of them across the Bay Area. Every time I go for an omelette now, the omelets come our brown, burned looking and tasteless. What has happened? They were formerly reliable food diner fare. Now they look more like purveyors of catered meals where someone left them over the Bunsen burner too long! Very disappointing! read more

It's gone down. Was much better in the past. Going on and off for 22 years. Service is still the best part. Prime rib dish was my go-to, lately it's been inconsistent. Also pies are no longer worth the cost. I realize raw material costs more. Still can't justify buying 3 pies for $147 for Christmas. read more

Went to ButtercuP in Oakland for breakfast with a friend and I had the shrimp and grits...yummmm! Literally the best I have had outside of the South. Absolutely no extra salt or pepper needed, perfectly seasoned and a large portion. Their pancakes were pretty good as well. Highly recommend this dish. The service was friendly as well and the restrooms and restaurant were clean; which is very important to me. read more

Good food good service the wait was not long about 15 min for Father's Day. Easy to get to gas station across from the place. Has parking lot, and handicap area. Was packed with people all kinds of people some kids came. It's old school vibe to me but I enjoyed it. I have been there many times before and would recommend it. read more

Definitely thought the burrito was going to be better than it was. The biscuit was the best thing I ordered. Everything on the menu sounded so good and was kind of disappointed when I got this burrito. I'll try this place again next time I'm in town. read more

The food here is AMAZING and Luis P did a great job! The place is clean and we will be back many times!

Blown away this last weekend. We had a large family gathering and figured we'd give it a shot and see if Buttercup could potentially accommodate as it central to several of our guests and we know the food is consistent. We made an excellent choice. We came Saturday evening right at dinner time. They were busy, but our entire party could not tell. We were greeted promptly and drinks came out quick. Manager was lovely and assisted her team with ease. The team at Buttercup did not miss a beat; from the delivery of hot food, to clean utensils, pre bussing dirty plates, to timely dessert delivery...our family truly had a memorable dinner. We'll be back. read more

A local favorite. I grew up coming to this restaurant and having breakfast with my dad here almost every single morning. The food is still absolutely delicious. All the staff is super friendly, it's a very fast and easy restaurant to go to, and it always feels very warm and cozy inside. read more

You know what? I LOVE that good ol' Buttercup! There's just no other way to put it. Buttercup is hands down one of my favorite diners around! They are consistent on all levels, and they just never cease to amaze me. I've been here countless times for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even on Holidays, and not once have I ever had a bad experience! I keep waiting for the day that they will fail me like how they have in other reviews, but they just continue to impress me every single time. As far as their breakfast items go, just about anything is fair game here. I love their omelettes and their BISCUITS! Oh my! They make a stellar French toast and their breakfast potatoes are always on point! They also have a bar and I love the different mimosas that they come up with. I'm addicted to their house salad! It's just a simple side salad, but I have to get it every time that I go there. I even get it for breakfast. Yes, I'm a weirdo but that salad is delicious! Their entree dishes are exceptional too! Any type of seafood dish served here is a winner. I also thoroughly enjoy their chicken champagne dish. I almost never order chicken entrees from American restaurants, but I will happily order it here. I cannot forget about their amazing PIE! Their banana cream pie is hands down some of the BEST that I've ever have! It ranks right up there with Nation's and y'all know Nations has some delicious pies! I've signed up for their rewards program, and they offer me a free slice of pie every year for my birthday. The service is excellent! Whether I'm sitting in the dining room or at the bar, I've always received the same great service. The staff is super fun and friendly! What I also really appreciate about Buttercup is that they are open on most Major holidays! It's a great option if you don't want to cook at home during the Holidays. One of my favorite diners and for so many great reasons! Hopefully it'll end up being your favorite diner too. read more
