Apple Cinnamon Pecan Caramel Pancakes
Melody B.

Pancakes in the business name? Sign me up! I went here on a Sunday morning and it was CROWDED. Unfortunately, they do not have any sort of virtual waitlist so you have to be in-person to put your name in for a table. The line to see the host stand was out the door and wrapped around part of the building. It took about 20 minutes to get in the door and then it was another 45 minute wait for us to be seated. Their estimated wait time was accurate as we were seated around that time. I ordered the Apple Cinnamon Pecan Caramel Pancakes. Pancakes were delicious and fluffy. I liked all the different flavors they had on their menu. Service was average. It being super busy could have had something to do with it, but it took an extended amount of time to get our drinks and even longer for my friend to get milk with her coffee. Lots of parking is available as Butterfield's as it is located is in a shopping center, but this is a stand alone building. If I end up making my way back to Arizona, I'd come back here but I would try to go at a non peak dining time.

Very solid place to grab a good breakfast. Flavors are bold and not overly sweet. Service was very quick despite how crowded it was. Fun place to take the family over the weekend!

I totally get the hype with this place, it's a great breakfast/brunch spot with a lot of options. Although, I don't think the food here is unique or too special from other places. The place is large, but gets full when it's busy. The service is still fast and attentive regardless.

Banana cream crepes

One of the better breakfast places in the area. They're always busy and bustling no matter the day of the week. On our recent visit, the wait time for a table wasn't bad, less than ten minutes, even though there were multiple parties ahead of us. Service was fast and friendly. The ambiance was energetic and comfortable. On this visit, we decided to order the Mexicana omelette, New Mexico skillet, and banana cream crepes. All the items were of good portion size and the omelette and skillet were seasoned well. The banana cream crepes were sweet but not too sweet, they nicely balanced out the savory from our other dishes. Overall, it was a satisfactory visit. Don't let the wait times hold you back from dining here since table turnovers are relatively fast.

I hadn't been here in a while and was missing this place, I remember why! Met up with a friend for breakfast and our server was friendly and service was fast. Service is always fast at Butters, no matter how busy it is. The tip for it being less crowded.... The earlier, the better and no wait. Heated patio was awesome for a cool morning. Love all the gluten free options and my favorite is the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice!

I always have a wonderful experience at Butterfield's. The customer service is always stellar and the food is the best. I have eaten pancakes all across the USA and no pancake can come close to Butterfield's

Veggie omelette and breakfast potatoes
Ta'keisha R.

I was really underwhelmed today. I've been here a few years ago and enjoyed it but today must have been an off day for them. We tried to go to Butters but the wait was way too long. I had a veggie omelette, breakfast potatoes and grits. The grits are why we came but they were awful. I'd like to think they were old but they were super busy and there was no reason for them to taste like the. The potatoes also tasted old. I won't be back

Chicken salad
George G.

My wife, daughter, and I had brunch here today. While we don't visit often due to the drive from northeast Mesa, every experience we've had has been a good one. The food is consistently very good, and the service is both fast and friendly. The ambiance is what you'd expect from a popular spot that doesn't take reservations--lively and bustling. We waited about 30 minutes to be seated, which was reasonable given the weekend crowd. My wife ordered the waffle and really enjoyed it. It was served just as requested, with whipped cream, syrup, and strawberries on the side. My daughter had a crepe and said it was delicious. I opted for the chicken salad with cilantro dressing on the side--the greens were fresh, and the grilled chicken was generously portioned and well-prepared. My wife and I also really enjoyed the fresh-squeezed orange juice. They're currently building a diner-style bar seating area, which I believe will help reduce wait times in the future. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would be remiss not to mention that the prices are quite reasonable--especially for such a popular venue. The only disappointment was that they do not offer a veteran's discount, which many other restaurants do provide.

Banana cream pancakes with a graham cracker crumb and pecan crumble.

Very good pancakes. They have gotten smaller in my opinion but they come in a stack of 3. These were the banana cream and they were subtle. The bananas are not mixed into the batter. You can also remove bananas from the top as you wish.

Super cute restaurant. Meeting a friend, a date, having a meeting, or with family. Lots on the menu. Super clean. Food was really good. I got the Mexicana omelette, they say it's a 2 egg omelette but this thing was huge! We were greeted right away and waited just a short time for the "soonest available". The server was attentive and helpful. Will definitely go back. The front will be getting a coffee bar soon. The patio is beautiful too.

egg white omelet w fruit
Isabel K.

i've been coming here since i was a kid and figured it was about time to write a review after my latest visit yesterday morning. my family and i love this place for a tasty, satisfying, traditional breakfast. there's always a wait, but for good reason, and you're usually sat faster than expected. the service is always fast, kind, helpful, and positive. i got a veggie egg white omelet (how do they get their eggs so fluffy!?) with a side of fruit and cinnamon roll pancakes, my dad got their corned beef hash skillet, and my mom got their swedish pancakes w jam; delicious!! they're known for their pancakes for a reason, don't miss out!!!

TLDR: this spot is a gem! Okay, I'll be honest I had low expectations even though Butterfields was showing high ratings. First impressions - super cute space! Waffle lights and a diner feel but still modern and homey. Service was fast and friendly, I know they're used to people going in and out for breakfast! We had to wait for about 15 minutes but, let me tell you, worth it!!! People rave about the fresh orange juice so obviously we got some - it was DELICIOUS. Like, they should sell it in a pitcher size. I'd get that just for me! Food wise everything looked SO good but we opted for a corned beef hash skillet and an omelette, bc we could upgrade our side to a specialty (actually you get two) pancake and it was the best of both worlds. The scrambled eggs for both the omelette and skillet were so fluffy. Light and flavorful! And the corned beef hash was a great pairing for the eggs and hash browns. My absolute fave was the banana cream pancakes. Dreamy. I typically don't do sweet breakfasts but these pancakes were amazing. Not too sweet but just enough to make it feel indulgent! And the cream sauce drizzled over the top was *chefs kiss* The cinnamon roll pancakes were also good, but those were too sweet for me Overall, 10/10, loved it, will try to get back there if I'm ever in Scottsdale again!

Omelette w/ Sausage, Spinach, and Swiss
Samantha A.

I think this is the best breakfast spot in the Valley. I have been here many times and the service and food is always on point. The stay is always so friendly and although there's always a wait, it's never that long. They did recently remodel and add a breakfast bar which is cool. However, they also got new seats for the tables, and they are the most uncomfortable chairs to sit in, and they need to go back to the old chairs. The food is SO GOOD! They have great cold brew as well.

No better breakfast place exists. They have the most fluffy eggs. The pancakes here are probably the best in town.

Do they do call ahead seating?

We seat our guests on a first-come, first-serve basis. We do not accept reservations or call-aheads and we require all parties to be present at the time of seating. We hope this info helps you.

Is this a woman owned business? Looking to have an IWD event catered and would like to support a local woman owned business.

Not sure if you've noticed but all their waitresses are women with dark colored hair. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We have been coming to butterfields for years but without the wait list we won't be bothering. Waits are too long and you now can't plan?

I agree

Where is this?

Just east of Scottsdale Rd on Shea Blvd in Scottsdale.

Is yelp wait list option removed?

Pity they opted out. I found it very helpful. And they get so busy and without a reservation system it's a turn off to go there

What happen to help check in feature?

I think you may mean "Yelp check in" Look for the ... menu in the upper right corner of the Yelp app… Read more

Does this restaurant serve mimosas or other breakfast adult beverages?

Currently, we do not offer alcoholic beverages. We are famous for our fresh-squeezed OJ and grapefruit juice.

How is the covid set up? is the seating spaced out?

Yes, but we eat out on the patio

How good are the potatoes?

Potatoes are good but if you prefer the stringy hash browns, you won't be excited about the potatoes.

Can I make reservations here?

Reservations can be made online for 4 people or less. Also you must be within 5 miles of the restaurant to make the reservation/ Butterfields reservations are through NoWait or Yelp. We have never called in a reservation.

What time do they stop serving breakfast or does it completely continue til closing?

Breakfast is served all day long.

Amazing smoothies made fresh fruits, juices, yogurts, and sherbets…read more They also have açaí bowls, toasts, wraps, egg sandwiches and more. Can make non-dairy smoothie versions as well!! Easy ordering, lots of locations, and super friendly staff!!!!

I'm extremely disappointed with this location. My sister placed an order at 8:36 AM for a 9:00 AM…read morepickup, and when she arrived at 9:24, the order still wasn't ready. When she asked about it, the employee (Sarah) told her they had "just received the order a minute ago" at 9:23, which makes absolutely no sense. When my sister explained that she had placed the order almost an hour earlier, Sarah responded with attitude and said, "I know, but we are busy, do you want to look?" which came off very dismissive and unprofessional. To make things worse, she told my sister to come back in 10 minutes, even though my sister had to be at work at 9:30. When my sister asked for a refund since she couldn't wait, Sarah said she couldn't process it and told her to leave a phone number so a manager could "call back." That's not acceptable. If you can take payment, you should be able to issue a refund when you fail to provide the service. This is especially frustrating because this isn't our first bad experience here , we actually avoided this place for a year and decided to give it another chance today. Clearly, nothing has improved. Management seriously needs to step in, train their staff better, and fix their system. Poor communication, bad attitude, and zero accountability. Won't be coming back again
