Staff was very friendly. Food was delicious, now I'm obsessed with the chicken salad croissant, and tried some of the deserts and love it too. Love the ambience, I would definitely come back. read more

The cookies from Butterfingers bakery are a seasonal highlight. I volunteer with an organization that hosts a holiday appreciation open-house each year featuring THE BEST cookie platter from this family-run bakery. From traditional Christmas cookies to new twists on the classics (sugar cookie with crushed peppermint pieces) these cookies are not overly sweet, crisp, and delectably melt-in-the mouth with the perfect proportion of textured-add ins. I have even been known to take a couple in a plastic bag to savor later. In the last few years, cookie chains have sprung up, bringing with them cult followings for their elaborate, often hubcap-sized tricked out confections and rotating flavors. Against this backdrop, Butterfingers stays true to the classics, turning out quality products, year after year, that stir nostalgia and evoke positive emotions, much like you-know-who's madeleines. (Sorry...I swore I could make it through a cookie discussion without mentioning Proust, but I couldn't.) read more

I tried the vanilla buttercream cupcakes and both were just ok. The frosting tasted like cream cheese frosting, it tasted nothing like buttercream at all. I actually hate cream cheese frosting, so I did not like it. I was kind of bummed out. Especially for $4.50 a cupcake The ham salad was good. The lady working was friendly and helpful. read more

Croissants, cakes, cookies and cupcakes OH My! We ordered lunch today and had a great experience. The portions are large and the prices are right. I didn't get to have any of the croissants, cakes, or cupcakes but man oh man I'd be back for the chicken salad. Next time I'll grab a sweet treat too! read more

Completely Upset regarding Management at Butterfingers. I purchased a chicken salad sandwich at the Crown point location that was made at either the Highland or Munster location according to management in Crown point. According to management at Crown-point, she stated that they use chicken breast not skinless and unfortunately sometimes maybe a piece of the bone or Cartlidge may have been left by accident. Well, apparently that's what happened with me. I ate a chicken salad sandwich from the Crown point location, that was all I ate that day. I unfortunately ended up with a foreign body lodged, possibly a bone in my esophagus, and when I contacted the manager at Crown point, she didn't seem to be too concerned. I even stated that I may end up in surgery, I explained I didn't want this to happen to somebody else and that they may wanna pull the rest of the sandwiches off the shelf, The only thing she stated was that she would contact the Highland and Munster store. I then asked her if she wanted my phone number to get a hold of me, she did not seem too concerned. She took my number and to this day I have not heard from anyone its been 6 days. I consistently buy cakes From the Highland location, this was the first time I was in the Crown point location. I purchased a Carrot cake for Easter and it was the first I ever purchased a chicken salad sandwich However Mistakes like that should not happen... What if this would've reached the airway, I would Not be here to address this issue. This is unacceptable!!!! read more

I pass this bakery all the time so I decided to give it a try and it was not what I thought it was going to be. They were definitely overpriced I got three mini cupcakes and my total was almost $11 and the cupcakes to be completely honest tasted like refrigerator, the vanilla cupcakes tasted like nothing and the banana didn't taste like banana. read more

Butterfingers - Not as expected, I got three mini cupcakes and to be completely honest they tasted like refrigerator - Specialty Food Near Me - Munster, Indiana

Last visit the 2 cupcakes I purchased seemed old, one, in particular , seemed loaded with sugar. The chicken salad was not that great; i the chicken tasted grainy. The server was, however, plesant. Actually, 2,5 stars regarding the food, 3 plus for service. read more

Food is very good, people are extremely friendly and the store is always very clean. I've been coming here for years. I'm sad, but I will not return. I ordered a wrap and the gentlemen who took my order also made the wrap. So after handling cash he made a wrap without gloves. I know this is not required under Indiana law, but I did not see him wash or use hand sanitizer. I found that disturbing in this environment. I paid, but walked out without the wrap. read more

I really am astonished at the good reviews for this place. Those people are either shills or live in a food desert. The chicken salad is tasteless, consisting of dry chicken breast swimming in mayo. Ever heard of salt or seasoning? Guess not. The cheesecake was the worst I have ever tasted with terrible texture, no flavor and a topping that must have been plain sour cream. After one fork I said no thanks and moved on. The cupcake I tried was a step up merely being just poor but not offensive. Once I found out how much these items cost the person who bought them I was shocked. Wow, just wow. read more

Awesome place lunch ! Great chicken salad and cream filled croissant. The staff is friendly and always helpful read more

The quiche was amazing! I had the vegetarian and the crust was so nice and buttery. It was an amazing bite after bite. The cheese on the crust was a game changer. Thank you Butterfingers for a great at home brunch! read more

Food 411: They have really yummy chicken pasta salad. That's probably my favorite. The other salads are good as well, but that chicken pasta salad...is....yummy! Sweets 411: I have a mouthgasm just thinking about their raisin oatmeal cookies. They are so good. I'm not normally a huge fan of that kind of cookie, but these are moist and perfect!!! My favorite cookies are normally chocolate chip, but they are just OK here. Get the oatmeal reason. Live changing. They have this really yummy chocolate cake as well. I've not had their raspberry cheesecake, but it looks incredible. The baked goods are pricey, but they are good. Service 411: The gals working there are always super smiley and sweet. I heart them. read more

Butterfingers - Amazing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies! - Specialty Food Near Me - Munster, Indiana

Cupcakes, cookies, brownies... Sooo delicious! I come here to buy treats for special occasions.. Everyone loves them! Minus 1/2 star because of price.. It is pretty expensive. Minus another 1/2 star because one time I preordered chocolate covered strawberries for sweetest day and the ones I received were honestly half the size as the ones they had out to be sold that day! read more

Umm No. This place is wrong on so many levels. A bakery that doesn't actually bake anything? If you want to sell quick lunches on the go then open a sandwich shop. I wasted 20 minutes of my life and $12 on food I threw in the garbage. I tried a cream cheese brownie, a double fudge brownie and a chicken salad croissant. I didn't take more than two bites of anything. I was so sad that I went out of my way to try this place. read more

A few things I will honestly mention...and not because I'm a biased local! 1. The BEST chicken salad I've ever had in my life. 2. I've never had a better tasting cake. Short story--At my high school graduation party which happened to be at a pretty hoity toity country club, the waiters dropped one of my two graduation cakes. My mom also happened to have a cake from Butterfingers. Everyone liked the Butterfingers cake better than the country club's cake--including the waiters! 3. AWESOME cupcakes, cookies, and bars. They seem so out of place in a lunch-gox deli type of establishment, but if you try the triple fudge cupcake with shavings of bittersweet chocolate on top, you won't be disappointed! The price is kind of a downer, but realistically, it works for the quality of food you get here! read more

I'm going to ride the coattails of another yelper and say,I haven't bought into this place. I stopped in because I heard so much about how good the chicken salad is and to me it was OK at best. Same thing with the tuna salad which I bought also. Maybe I'm a little biased because I work in Chicago where they know about good food, but I could give you a half dozen deli's in Chicago that make a better chicken & tuna salad than this place. However, the thing that really got me about this place ARE ITS PRICES!!!!! I paid $30.00(yes that's not a misprint) for 2 lbs. of tuna salad and 1 lb. of chicken salad! THAT'S INSANE! I didn't try any of the desserts while I was here and at Butterfingers prices, I won't be coming back anytime soon. (Which means never) read more

I went to Butterfingers for lunch with coworkers. There were two large display cases forming an L and about 5 round tables with seating. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Taking up about 60% of the display cases were their desserts - cakes, cookie bars, etc. I was dissapointed that a majority of their cakes were sold as entire cakes and only there were only slices available for 2 cakes. The slice of cake I did have was good, though. They have one long display case of lunch food, most of which comprised of salads (macaroni salad, chicken salad, etc.). I ate their breaded chicken, which was excellent. They did have a sandwich menu, which was pretty basic. Their small crescent rolls were average. Butterfingers could benefit from offering more creative sandwiches and coffee-shop type items to eat. They almost have it right, they just need a little creativity. read more

If it wasn't for the price of everything at this deli, the stars would be higher. They've always got something good on the menu, but you have to get there early--or it'll be gone by the time you arrive. Great salads--chicken and seafood are my faves. And if you pair a homemade croissant with that, it's heaven on a plate! Don't forget to try one of their cookies for dessert. read more

I enjoy a little of everything here. And a big slice of vegetable lasagna. The dill bread too and cake is beautifully decorated.

Used to go there all the time when we lived closer. I don't remember customer service being this awful. Just very unhappy looking people work there. Sad. Food was excellent years ago. Today it was just average. I had Tuna on croissant and it was just ok. What confused me the most was sweet pickle instead of the dill pickle. I kinda expected a dill pickle on my sandwich. They need to specify that. Some peoples really dislike sweet pickles. All the salads had mayonnaise on them. Nothing healthy was offered besides fruit salad. Not sure if I can recommend this place anymore. Not sure if I'm coming back. Cakes looked good! read more

I love this cute little shop! They have amazing desserts. What I love is that a lot of the frosting they use isn't over the top sugary tasting. We stopped in the other day for lunch and I had the Almond Chicken Salad on a Croissant. Sooo good! We also got some of the broccoli cranberry salad on the side. It was great. The prices are reasonable and they have an area you can sit. I like their selection of chips and drinks as well. I will definitely be back! It reminds me of a smaller version of Goddess and Grocer in the city! Two thumbs up! read more

The chicken salad on croissant - WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! It's unreal how delicious this is. Yesterday I got that and a cranberry bar for dessert that seriously made me hear the singing of choirs when I bit into it. The spinach pasta salad with pesto was phenominal as well. Yes the food is more expensive than going to a deli or sandwhich shop but that is because it's worth it. It's good food. I'm not a huge fan of sweets but I'm looking forward to Butterfinger's changing my mind. :) read more

I love this place great sweets and their box lunches are amazing! Their cupcakes are great and for the prices are reasonable. The only thing is maybe that they should sell cakes by the slice not by the quarter, half or full. Its kind of an inconvenience when you want a slice of cake but have to buy half of it. Other than that great fresh food and baked goods! read more

Great tasting sweets. I would stop in to get some cookies and a cupcake while being next door at the salon. Nice little location.. they even have pasta's and items for a meal. I haven't gotten any myself, but have family members who enjoyed the food from there. Also the cupcakes come in two sizes. read more

I love the almond chicken salad there! And the cupcakes and other goodies are really good too!

My sister in law and I stopped there and had a bite of lunch. The shop was nice enough, we both ordered a sandwich. Mine was all veggies, stacked high and slathered with basil pesto. I as actually quite enjoying it until my 2nd to last bite when i bit down on something HARD. I fished it out of my food filled mouth and found It was the sharp tine of a plastic fork. There were two customers in the shop purchasing their apparently famous chicken salad and assorted pastries, so to avoid embarrassing the staff, I waited until they completed their transactions and left the store before approaching the register. I explained what had just occurred and the first reaction was, Did you get that off the table?? I explained NO! And I didn't order a side, and had no fork either. My sister in law had a metal fork with her meal. She got the woman from the kitchen who proceeded to examine the plastic and question where it may have come from, eventually comparing it to the plastic forks they use in the restaurant and reluctantly admitting it matched. Then I was assured they only use metal implements to assemble the food and was even shown the tongs used to fish out my pickles. All I can say is LOOK, be that as it may, SOMEONE at SOME POINT managed to get a piece of broken fork into the veggies or ingredients. I suggest you look over your veggies. The apologies were all laced with a big "BUT" I don't see HOW this could happen, and barely any I'm so sorry there was GARBAGE in your FOOD. In the end I just told them, look, I"m just really GLAD i didn't swollow that! And we left, because that was all they had to say about it. So, was my sandwich good? I don't recall, my stomach clenched at the garbage in my food, and the reason I won't go back, is because they could't just take full responsibility for the mistake and apologize. As if I should have to convince them it happened and try to walk them through HOW it was possible! read more

Amazing food, shockingly bad customer service. A birthday cake is a special thing, and since their reputation is so high, I was excited to order a Butterfingers cake for my daughter's second birthday. I drive to the Munster location, just a few blocks from my house. They don't take birthday cake order there, ostensibly because the baker is across town at the other location, and even worse, the cake you order can't be delivered there. I'm annoyed, but they're supposed to be so awesome, so I trekked to Highland. And there I found a huge line and an ordinary clerk (NOT a baker) to take my order. At least 25% more expensive than anyone else in town, only two types of cake, one type of frosting, and only flowers for decoration (nothing else, like the simple rainbow I asked for. And then they refused to let me taste a sample, saying they just didn't do that. So we left, and went to Jewel, where we DID get a sample, a free cookie for my kid, and a beautiful white cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream frosting, and a rainbow! I love their baked goods - LOVE them - but for that kind of money I expect a little more that I didn't get. So no more Butterfingers for this family. read more

amazing little sandwich and pastry shop! stopped in while driving through, and my italian sandwich was delish!

Their service is the worst. I've been trying for 3 days to get in touch with the Highland location (where all the food is made) to place an order for this weekend. They have 1 phone line, no voicemail and no way to send a message electronically. I call and call and call and just get a rapid busy signal. I finally called the Munster location, but they aren't allowed to take the orders. All they can do is "try" to get in touch with Highland and have them call me back, but after 3 days I still haven't heard from anyone. Apparently they will only let you place an order if you're able to go in personally to their location (where they can't ignore you). I'm giving up and will go elsewhere. read more

I've grown up eating pastries and deli goods from Butterfinger's. Over the years, I noticed a dip in quality specifically with the baked goods. The brownies have become coyingly sweet and many of the cakes are coated in so much frosting that it's impossible to taste any flavor except for just sugary sweetness. I still do enjoy certain items such as their double chocolate mousse cake. Their deli goods such as chicken salad are delicious, but slightly overpriced. I would recommend going early to get a fresh loaf of dill bread or wheat bread! Overall, still a nice local place to get a light lunch or something sweet. read more

I have purchased many items from the Ridge Road Butterfingers and have been satisfied with most of the brownies, cakes and cupcakes. .I would like to know the ingredients used in making their pastries and deli items. I know the pecan danish is NOT made at Butterfingers, what else is not? The deli items leave me a little cold, always the same, salads never vary. read more

So if this business is open until 6pm on Mondays, why were the doors locked at 5:40pm ? And when I went to try to open the door, the two female workers inside literally just looked at me like I was somehow out of order for trying to open the door. I drove a long distance to get here in the snow and I really don't appreciate this kind of "service". Another guy just walked up to the door at 5:45p and was just as shocked as I was to find the door locked and the young lady purposely ignoring him. WTH read more

Food is good. I have had better chicken salad but I also like theirs. They are always out of the items I come back for. I think I will try the Highland location if I am in the area. My last experience will not bring me back anytime soon. read more

This place is delicious. It's a refreshing break from the constant flow of chain restaurants and food that all tastes the same. They make everything fresh, and put their own unique twist on classics. Ive eaten at places that were a lot flashier or more expensive that didn't have croissants as delicate and flavorful. The chicken salad sandwich on a croissant is something I would eat every day, and their cakes are not only delicious they are beautiful. read more

Come for the chicken salad on croissant! It really is worthy of the hype. Everything else is good too but that is definitely the standout.
