I have passed by Buttercup several times and didn't even know it existed... Thanks to a friend, she introduced me to Buttercup in which I had a good brunch experience! First of all, don't let the exterior fool you. It does looks a bit outdated from the outside, but I believe they recently renovated the interior. It was nice and clean, and very spacious. My friend and I arrived around 11am and we were quickly seated despite the weekend crowd. I ordered the Buttercup Classic Breakfast, while my friend ordered the Linguica Benedict. I really enjoyed my order. It comes with two eggs, four pieces of bacon (can be replaced with sausage or you can do half and half at no extra charge), choice of hash brown or O'Brien Potatoes, and toast. It's your classic breakfast and it definitely hit the spot! My friend enjoyed her order, as well which also comes with a nice bowl of fruits. Overall, food was good and exceeded my expectations. Prices were reasonable given that portion sizes were hearty. Service was good, it wasn't the best but I don't blame our server as it was busy at that time. All in all, I'm a fan of Buttercup and will definitely return in the future! I can't wait to give their Frosted Cinnascuit a try! read more

We came here for dinner after a day hike at the Lime Ridge Open Space. The restaurant was nice and clean. They have a great selection of various food, salad, sandwiches, burgers, fettuccine...The service was super, they helpfully split bills for our group, and the bill came with a QR code that I was able to easily scan and pay. I ordered the Mushroom Onion Burger with curly fries. The meat was fresh but the burger was not very tasty, the curly fries were a little bit too salty for me. Overall, it's a good dining experience. read more

First things first. I got the Belgian waffle and added on bacon and eggs. The Belgian waffle was good. But here it is, folks. The bacon (I had 2 pieces and one fell on the floor so the server gave me 3-4 more pieces to replace it) was INCREDIBLE! If y'all have ever seen Ratatouille, this was the part where the critic remembered being a child again. Something so amazing that it takes you back to a time when things were just better. It was the PERFECT crispiness. The eggs were stellar, with the whites done and the yolks runny. Our server was also fantastic. Her name is Pearl and she is just the sweetest person I think I've ever had my food delivered by. I also mentioned about my great experience to the manager. Point is, I'll definitely be back, even if it's alone, just to have the bacon and eggs again!! read more

Oh my gosh what happened to Buttercup?? We used to love their food. The last few times we have come here the food has been terrible. Tonight was the worst. I wish I would have read these reviews first. Someone else had a similar problem. I was asked how I wanted my burger patty cooked. I said medium. What came out was a charred, inedible burger with undercooked French fries. I was shocked! The time before my chicken was undercooked. My son wouldn't even touch his grilled cheese. Also burnt. They have definitely changed chefs within the last six months. I guess we have to cross off Buttercup from our rotation of restaurants. Sad day for this girl! read more

Came in here on a thursday morning/afternoon, was sat fairly quickly by one of the waitresses. We ordered appetizers and were planning to order more food, but we noticed the waitress who sat us sat a bunch more people parallel to us who came in 15-20 minutes after us - receiving their food before us. We only got wings and onion rings- we were serviced last. We decided to get the check because the quality of service was terrible while the customers sitting across from us were receiving quality service and multiple check ins unlike us. We felt embarrassed because of this and left early shortly after. It was our first time in and more than likely our last. We were looking for a new brunch place in the area so I guess we'll keep searching. read more

This was a cute place but nothing special. The service was nice and my boyfriend had the brilliant idea of getting a Belgian waffle and topping it with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce! The only thing I don't like is when restaurants don't tell you what the up-charge is for a side like a hollandaise sauce. I got the egg burrito which had a pathetic excuse of guacamole on it. It was a smidge and I understand why they only gave me a little..it was bad!! It tasted old that I ended up having to scrape it off :( they could have at least compensated with more sour cream but that was barley on it either.

She was condescending and rude. She talked to me like I was a child and I could not believe this place would have someone like her be an assistant manager. She blames her "service" on the owner, Benjamin A. Shahvar, and stated that he was the reasoning behind her service. Or lack of service I should say.

History

Established in 1988.

David and Debbie Shahvar opened their first restaurant in Walnut Creek, California in 1988. David had extensive restaurant management experience but was tired of working for large corporations. Debbie had also worked in restaurants since she was 15, but was a stay at home mom. At the time David worked for an upscale dinner house. They had a hard time finding a restaurant that offered fresh food, yet was casual enough to bring their children. They dreamed of owning a family style restaurant where they could get fresh home made food at an affordable price. The opportunity arose and they bought their first restaurant on North Main Street in Walnut Creek. From there they expanded into 5 locations in the Bay Area. David has always run the business side of the restaurant while Debbie, with her love of cooking, focuses on the food, recipes and menu development. Today you can find David, Debbie, and their three children working. Buttercup has truly become a family restaurant.

But surprise, surprise -- it actually tasted like real matcha! It was delicious! For my meal, I tried the cowboy scramble, which I swear was everything but the kitchen sink tossed in a pan. It was hearty, satisfying, and totally hit the spot. The only hiccup? The melted butter they used on the toast had a weird aftertaste. I can't quite explain it -- like if butter went to a weird party and came back a little off. But hey, it didn't ruin the whole meal, just a little side note.

Sugar Plum Coffee Shop

I originally went out looking for a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and Googled "good breakfast…read morenear me." This spot came up, and although my wife and I have driven past it many times, we've never stopped in. Today, I decided to finally give it a try. After looking through the Google photos, I changed my mind and ordered a breakfast plate instead of a sandwich. Parking was a little challenging. I arrived around 11:00 a.m. and had to circle the block a few times before finding a spot directly in front of the diner. When I walked in, I wasn't sure whether I should seat myself or wait to be seated. All of the waitresses appeared busy, so I stood near the entrance. Once she was available, Marianna greeted me. Initially, I wasn't a fan of being asked whether I was picking up food rather than whether I was dining in or taking out, but I quickly realized they may be accustomed to regular customers who already know the process. Since it was my first visit, I explained that I wasn't sure if I should seat myself. Personally, I think a sign near the entrance would be helpful for first-time guests. Since I was dining alone, I chose a seat at the counter and ordered the Sugar Plum Special with cheese grits and sourdough toast. While waiting for my food, I noticed something that concerned me. The staff did not appear to be wearing gloves, and I observed food being handled after touching various surfaces, including condiments, plates, glasses, and trash areas. While I understand that food service relies heavily on proper handwashing practices, I personally felt uncomfortable watching bread being handled directly by hand. I requested that my toast be handled with a utensil instead, and my request was accommodated without issue. When my food arrived, my eggs were cooked exactly as requested--scrambled hard--and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The bacon was a little saltier than I personally prefer, but that's more about my taste than the preparation. Overall, both items were flavorful. Now, let's talk about the grits. I come from a strong Southern background, and we take our grits seriously. The presentation was fantastic. The butter melting on top and the cheese looked absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, the texture wasn't there on the first serving. The grits were noticeably gritty and undercooked. After a couple of bites, I sent them back and requested they be cooked a bit longer. One of the waitresses explained that customers typically need to request the grits "well done." That was surprising to me because I've always believed grits should naturally be cooked until smooth and creamy. In my opinion, that's how they're meant to be served. Thankfully, the second batch was much better. While they still could have been stirred a bit more, the texture improved significantly and was much closer to what I expected. I also want to recognize Marianna for her excellent service. She was accommodating, attentive, and handled my concerns professionally throughout the meal. Overall, I would return. The restaurant has a warm, family-oriented atmosphere and an old-school diner feel that is becoming harder to find these days. It reminded me of the kind of place you'd visit after church on a Sunday morning or somewhere you'd go with your grandparents for a comforting home-cooked meal. While there were a few areas that could be improved, the welcoming environment and friendly service left a positive impression on me.

It was accompanied by two eggs (ordered over easy and cooked just right!) as well as crispy hash browns that were not too greasy. The sourdough toast was crisp and came with assorted smucker's jams. We also tried their breakfast combo where we ordered eggs and link sausage (4 juicy links) along with a large portion of nicely prepared French toast. The coffee was Columbian and hot, and my cup always stayed full. They also provided large glasses of ice water, and provided ketchup and Tabasco sauce for our breakfast platters. The portions were large and commensurate with their prices, which were reasonable, and the service was outstanding. We are already aiming to get back soon to try other things on their menu.

Yard House

Review #1,101 Posted on 8.18.26…read more The rare double visit occurred for my first time visiting this Yard House. We came here for lunch for our work summer party on Thursday August 6th, then came back a 2nd time a few hours later for happy hour after our work event ended. The food was good. They did an excellent job getting us all set up with a lunch for about 40 people, and had the food and seating chart all ready to roll. Now the seats were insanely cramped for the lunch. It was at 12 pm on the dot I believe, and they had the food delivered to the table right on cue. But we were all rubbing elbows at the table, you could hardly move, maybe adding a table or 2 solves that. The happy hour experience was awesome, server was on top of everything, and we had some good grub and drinks. Would 100% return.

Lobster Noodles my brother and I both had it, very umami. It had some shrimp too but lobster was a good portion. My wife had the Thai Pork chop, it too was delicious, nice amount of Shitaki mushrooms . Plenty of beers to choose from. Our servers were very good, explained cocktails very well. My beer came in the appropriate time and so did my brother's, My wives cocktail took a little longer, but is was well made. This place is busy always, no reservations allowed, wait list about ten minutes. Deco was appropriate for a sports bar. Now for my Caveat " It's Too Freaking Noisy, the music was turned way up. Could barley here the people at our table. My ears hurt. Food and service great, the noise was overwhelming. I will not be back!'

I know that a lot of people reading this review are looking for a comparison between the restaurants. Usually, others are split on this opinion when I mention it. So here's my why. The seafood menu selection is the same as most crab boil spots. I ordered the deveined/headless shrimp on my last visit. The spicy sauce was def spicy! Shrimp was cooked perfectly, not overcooked like I've had at other places. They give a generous portion of sauce, which is necessary to pour over some white rice! The appetizer selection at Cajun Crack'n is elite! The fried oysters are my favorite! I've also had the wings, fried mozzarella and Crawfish fried rice. All delicious choices! Can't wait for my next visit!

Combo #1. Shrimp, Clams and Mussels. They threw in sausages, potatoes and corn in there too. Hook a brotha up!!!

I informed her that we were 1st timers and she said to take our time. When she returned, she asked if we had any questions, my wife asked about the pizzas and she gave a rundown of the most popular pizzas and a very detained description of each. We decided on the Calamari appetizer, the Nectarine Salad and Fungo Pizza to split. Calamari and Shrimp 5/5, lightly batter, extremely tasty Nectarine Salad 5/5, she had it split for us, Great flavor, dressing was perfect and the goat cheese was nice and creamy. Fungo Pizza 4/5, it was sliced in 1/4 so they were huge. We split them in two. The center was a little soft and chewy, outside crust was slightly charred and perfect. It had a minimal kick from the Italian Chilies. We drizzled the marinara from the calamari on top which cut down the heat. We had plenty of pizza to bring home. Lastly we order the Pistachio Cake on Special and the Limoncello cake to go to. Both were delicious and we couldn't decide on a favorite. It was a perfect Lunch/Dinner Date with my wife

It doesn't get better than perfect cocktails and yummy pizza

This place is a cut above the rest - every dish they serve is a flavor-packed delight! A group of friends and I decided to check it out for breakfast, and we were blown away. Our waitress was not only nice and friendly but impressively professional. She took our order, and in just about 12 minutes, our food arrived, brought by the efficient lady manager herself - and mind you, the place was packed with customers. The level of efficiency in a busy restaurant like this is a rare find. Now, let's talk about the food. The portions were generous, the quality was top-notch, and the taste was nothing short of delicious. I opted for the Steak and Eggs, and it was a breakfast dream come true. The hash browns were the perfect sidekick. This place never fails to satisfy on all fronts - be it speed, quality, taste, or quantity. Plus, the prices are reasonable, making it an all-around win. I'm definitely marking this spot for a repeat visit. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates good food and excellent service! read more

I can't say enough good things about this American traditional restaurant! The service was exceptional, with a staff that went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. The food was a mouthwatering delight; the pot roast was tender and flavorful, and the cornbread had the perfect amount of sweetness. The ambiance, with its vintage posters and cozy lighting, set the stage for a wonderful, heartwarming dining experience. read more

I eat at this restaurant at least twice a week. The food is delicious and lots of it for a very reasonable price. They have the best clam chowder on Fridays (real clams not potatoe soup with clam juice). I also really enjoy their fresh salmon dinner. Such a large portion that I take half of it home. The place is very clean and everybody there very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this family friendly restaurant. read more

This place used to be a lot better. The service is still outstanding, the food is plentiful and looks good, but some nights there must be a cook in training in the kitchen. The potato soup, for example, a staple on their menu, varies from out of this world to dishwater in consistency and taste. We will think twice before going again. read more

At one point, she even asked if I had thrown trash on the ground--which was confusing and unnecessary, especially since the floor was clean. The food itself was okay. The cheesesteak and curly fries were decent, but nothing stood out. Honestly, it might have tasted better if the service hadn't put me in such a bad mood.
