    Half of French Dip sandwich & Caesar
    David S.

    We've had brunch there several times, close to fiancée's house. Last night, dinner to go...her French dip sandwich loaded with meat and came with a nice salad. I had the Downtown Club sandwich (trio of sourdough bread with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, smoked turkey, ham, jack cheese) and great curly fries. Ready on time. Both quite pleased!

    Churro Waffle Combo
    Christian R.

    This place is cute! Your typical diner vibes--which I love. The service is good, everyone is very nice and quick to help out. The food is just okay. My breakfast burrito was good--nothing to write home about. The hashbrowns were pretty bad, very undercooked. My partner's churro waffle combo was good. Only get that if you have a huge sweet tooth! My friend was pretty underwhelmed with the salad, but said it was okay. Overall, definitely a serviceable place to go to if you're in the area.

    I had a better dining experience at this place this time around compared to my previous visit. For my main dish, I ordered the country fried steak topped with country gravy, served with eggs (I chose over easy), a choice of hash browns or O'Brien potatoes, and toast. The country fried steak was decent--not overly salty--and the gravy was tasty as well. That said, next time I'd probably ask for the gravy to be on the side instead of poured over the steak. My white toast was also much better this time; on my last visit, the rye toast was so dry it was almost cracker-like. Since I enjoyed the hash browns previously, I decided to try the O'Brien potatoes this time. While they were cooked perfectly, they seemed to have cooked the potatoes with some sort of tomato paste so they had this flavor that I didn't really care for. The texture was spot on, but the taste just wasn't for me--it's just my own personal preference. We also ordered a few sweet items to share at the table: a three-stack of buttermilk pancakes and French toast. The pancakes were excellent--fluffy and springy. The French toast, on the other hand, was a bit disappointing. Although it looked great presentation-wise, it tasted overly eggy and lacked sweetness and spice (like cinnamon). I had to douse it in syrup to get some sweetness in each bite, and even then, it still felt off. I'd skip that next time. Service started out great--our first server was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, his shift ended during our meal, and the server who took over wasn't nearly as attentive, which left the service feeling inconsistent overall. We were tempted to try the bread pudding but were too full. I've also heard great things about their upside-down apple walnut pie, so I'm definitely planning to come back for dessert sometime soon. All in all, the food here is pretty good, especially if you're really hungry and in the mood for a big hearty breakfast. Portions are definitely generous. However, I'd say this place leans more toward quantity than quality. While I enjoyed the big portions, I've had better breakfast experiences elsewhere.

    Banana Foster French Toast
    Matthew M.

    1st time trying out this place and I ordered for to go! The order was ready in about 20 minutes so it was pretty fast. There's a lot of parking in the lot as well so parking was nice and easy The inside of the restaurant was pretty large and kind of reminds me of black bear diner a bit in terms of ambiance and decor. I got the biscuit breakfast and the portion was HUGE and so heavy. You can literally eat like 2-4 meals out of this. Pretty much it's biscuits covered with gravy, cheese, eggs, and chicken tenders. It tasted good but man it is pretty heavy for a first meal of the day lol. This dish kind of felt like something you'd eat if you had the munchies and was pretty solid. For the onion rings, they were pretty smackin and the ranch was pretty fire As a ranch person, their ranch is pretty legit My wife got the banana foster french toast. It came with 6 half slices of french toast topped with caramelized bananas and sitting in a pool of syrup. Pretty good but also really sweet. I kind of wish that it wasn't sitting in syrup as I feel that it made each piece of french toast really sweet. I would've just preferred all the syrup on the side tbh to control how much syrup goes on it. Otherwise, the french toast itself was pretty fluffy and had a great texture. Overall pretty decent food for a great price!

    Feta & Veggie Omelette
    Amanda O.

    My husband had never been here before, & I hadn't been here in years, so we figured let's see what it's like these days! It was definitely busy but the staff was attentive & quick -- clearly a popular spot! They have upgraded the decor since the last time I was there, & thought it looked nice! We were very pleased with how many vegetarian options they had, too. My husband ordered a Biscuit Benedict, & was able to substitute the Canadian bacon for an Impossible patty! He said it was super delicious! I ordered the feta & veggie omelette, which had a ton of flavor! They also had blood orange juice which was absolutely to die for.

    Walking in & welcomed immediately! They were very kind and sat us down quickly. Our waitress was very kind and great memory. She took our orders without writing it down and everything came out right. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. We went to the one in concord but they do have one in Oakland and Vallejo as well but I will say their service was so good I wouldn't mind making the drive out and enjoy the area and good weather to come.

    Solid breakfast! Attentive staff & homey atmosphere. Would definitely come again! The coffee cake was much thicker than I expected, more like an actual cake.

    From the Autumn Menu ... Meat Loaf Melt Sandwich
    Elaine P.

    Despite some "rough edges," ButtercuP on Clayton Road remains our reliable destination. We live close by and have few other options for All American food in the neighborhood. On our most recent visit, we were happy to see the new Autumn menu. I had gone with the idea of comfort food in the form of either the meat loaf or a patty melt. A new item, a meat loaf melt, sounded like the best of both worlds. Large portion, a bit on the greasy side. Glad I opted for the horseradish sauce on the side. Not to my palate. Would have totally ruined the sandwich. Sweet potato fries were quite good. Two of the pies for the fall season were tempting: pecan and pumpkin. Next time. Past experience shows I shouldn't expect much from the wine list. Often the server doesn't even know what wine is available and it is rare to even find a printed copy on the table. This time I ordered a Merlot, not the best option. In recent visits we have found the bread underdone. Inedible! Also salads are not up to quality of the past so we usually stick to sandwiches, the low cal salmon plate

    Tex mex scramble
    Kathy C.

    Food ServiceShout out to our outstanding waitress ,Pearl! She's awesome, remembers your order and makes you feel welcome the whole time. The food was delicious, try the tex mex,their sauces are great! Bonus-they have great brunch cocktails! They have a sesonal menu, that varies. They have pies, the chocolate silk is really good. Haven't tried the rest, but everything we've had has been delicious. Stop on by and say hello to Pearl!

    Avocado melt on toasted sourdough
    Debbie G.

    First time at ButtercuP today. Our server was a ray of sunshine and the food came out quickly -- hot and freshly made to order. My son snagged the last slice of coconut cream pie and said the filling was quite good. The crust was just OK -- not flakey. He is spoiled by my homemade pies. Very nice, casual diner with a few tables for outdoor dining available. We will be back.

This past weekend I got a chance to try it with my boyfriend, who's already had it once before. We decided to go in around 8pm on a Saturday. We attempted to call beforehand to check in with how busy the restaurant was as we were both starving and wanted food asap! We weren't able to get past their automated answer choices, so we decided to take a risk and go in. Upon arrival, it was a joy to see that there was not many people eating as well as no waitlist to be seated. We got seated immediately by what seems to be the restaurant manager. He was nice and made us feel welcome. Our server for the night whom I forgot the name of, was sweet and responsive to our needs as well! We were pleasantly surprised by how empty the restaurant was. We both ordered burgers, which my bf had recommended to me based on the one other time he came. Our food came out so quickly, I would say just around 10 minutes! I got their "Eureka! American" with cheddar cheese rather than swiss. Oh my gosh, it was one of the best burgers I've had! It was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. My bf got the Bacon Jalapeño Jam Burger which he liked, but said the bread was almost too sweet for his liking. It's also worth noting that their bathrooms were super clean and taken care of, which is usually not the case at these type of restaurants. I can't wait to come back and try their truffle fries next! I definitely wish I tried them that night but it just gives me an excuse to come back!

My only issue is that the food is inconsistent. I usually order the spicy jambalaya with champagne or a cocktail. More often than not, the shrimp seem undercooked, and the dim lighting makes it hard to tell. During my visit last night, the shrimp still looked gray and didn't appear fully cooked. The temperature of the dish was also all over the place some bites were hot, others were lukewarm, and some were room temperature. I'm not sure if it was an off night or a change in the kitchen, but this isn't the first time I've been disappointed with the food. I enjoy the atmosphere and service, but I'd really like to see more consistency coming out of the kitchen. The food should be just as good as the vibe.
