In these trying times we are looking to support local businesses when we can. We had a hankering for omelettes and pancakes and this place is open for delivery early morning. Score! It was our first time trying it and the food was OK. I got the Denver omelette. My omelette was kind of sitting inn a watery puddle. I'm not sure what that was- maybe some condensation from the container? But it really was a puddle and my husbands wasn't like that. That detail, plus it's semi sloppy appearance made it a little less appetizing. But the taste was actually pretty good and It was big enough for two portions. The pancakes were light and fluffy. They were great! We opted for fruit on the side which I included grape, pineapple, strawberries, blueberry, honeydew and cantaloupe. Overall a pretty good fruit mix. My omelette cost $12+, which is definitely more than I'm used to paying. I think i would explore other options in the area before returning hear since that omelette didn't blow me away. read more

I'll start off by saying I rarely eat breakfast. I will now . Ale the gm was wonderful and seemed legitimately happy to please guest. Jennifer was our server and her whole energy is wonderful. The food was cooked perfectly and ill be back because of these two. read more

Disappointed in the food and service. I ordered simple 2 egg breakfast with crispy bacon hash browns and english muffins. I asked the waiter for grape jelly and his reply was all I have is what's on the table not seeing the one stack in the back of the condiment holder the last one was grape. the food arrived very fast not hot but warm and it looked like they just threw everything on the plate. 3 strips of bacon was like rare, medium and well done. to me when you ask for crispy bacon it should be more on the well done side. Hash Browns were burned to hardly cooked at all. My scrambled eggs were ok. Like I said food arrived very fast since it wasn't very busy. I personally would have rather waited a few more minutes for crispy bacon fully cooked hash browns. My partner had the veggie skillet he said it was just ok. For the same money next time I will go to the Hen House in central Wheaton. read more

You may have to wait a bit for a seat on the weekends, but the food is well worth the wait. Great breakfast menu and healthy options available!! read more

I usually get the eggs Benedict or the French toast and it's always delicious! The food is usually quick to the table and never lacks flavor. The staff has always been attentive to my needs read more

We are devastated that this wonderful restaurant has been sold to Honey Jam. This has been our favorite restaurant for years and we loved the staff -they were and are amazing. Now that they are switching to Honey Jam's procedures and systems the wait time is long and the seating is very disorganized. They have 5 people doing what 2 people used to do at the hostess station and they still can't get it right. We have been noticing inconsistency with the food as well. Sometimes it's delicious - probably when the long term cooks are there. Other times, it is mediocre at best. We had never had a bad meal there in 5 years until the change in ownership. We will still go there as long as our favorite servers and hostesses are there. We hope they can get the quality of the food back to where it was. So sad. read more

The end of a great breakfast place! We have patronized this restaurant for many years. Ownership changed several months ago and they are changing over to the new owners procedures and systems. I know this can be difficult but we're shocked by our experience. Today we went for breakfast as we normally do on Sunday morning. We had a terrible experience. Wait time for food was very long... for eggs? My wife found a large piece of glass in her omelette. I asked to see a manager. The poor hostess tried to get the manager Jeff to come out to talk to me. He would not. What kind of manager is afraid to talk to a customer? The manager was hiding in the kitchen. No accident report or apology. We know the staff well and it is a shame to see an establishment go down the tubes. The staff is heartbroken about the terrible experience but can't help. It is a real shame to see the restaurant now. We saw waitress with tears trying to deal with customers. We really feel for the staff. Jeff you are in the wrong business. read more

Extremely long wait with poor service. I used to come here all the time from work and it was great. I'm never coming here again. I placed a to go order and was told 15min. I came back after 20min and my order never made it to the kitchen they looked at me confused when I asked if my order was ready. Every customer was frustrated. I watched a man storm into the kitchen demanding to speak to a manager. I watched a waitress drop a full carafe of orange juice into a handicapped mans lap. The man was in a wheelchair, it was awful. They were really struggling, definitely go somewhere else for a weekend breakfast. I ended up getting my order free cuz they took an hour after losing my order. I hear management recently changed and they were acquired by a larger restaurant chain so it will all go downhill from here. Beware! read more

I am a Wheaton resident and live not far from Butterfields. I would always come here on sundays for brunch, food was always good and service was good as well. The last time went there the waitress took my order, but then we waited...the waitress would just walk past us and not a knowledge us. Finally after an hour, we ask the waitress when she is expecting our food ready...she tells us she is not our waitress! We go to the manager...no one seemed to care. I hope the train their employees to not let this happen. read more

Excellent make your own omelette choices. Patient and helpful waitstaff letting us chat away for almost an hour before ordering. Great food with fresh ingredients. Highly recommended. read more

We had extremely poor service today. We made a reservation, anticipating a busy day, and we were right. Once we were sat, we didn't see our server. We had to flag down a waitress to get our order taken. Once our server finally came around, he forgot the side dish to my dad's plate. We asked for our check, and had to wait about 10 minutes for him to come back around with it. All and all, we were extremely disappointed in the service and quality of this restaurant and will not be returning. read more

No stars. Messed up my order. Ham and cheese omelette...plus sausage and spinach. I get an egg spinach and sausage omelette.....where the fuck is the cheese and ham?!? I call the restaurant and they offer to give me a 3.50 refund for the ham and cheese that was missing?!?! No simple bitch....you give a full refund or credit. And the shiiiiii tasted like water. No flavor. I'm like wtf is this. I won't be back. Fuck that credit. read more

First Honey Jam hasn't changed the name on the building. It took a few minutes to figure it out. The service was good. Our waitress was attentive. The food was so bad. I ordered the eggs Benedict/ Country Benedict. The hash browns were so overdone on the out side yet mush on the inside. The biscuit was so hard I could not get a knife through it. The sausage was thin and over cooked and tough. The coffee was terrible as well. The eggs were cooked well and the gravy had a good flavor. I paid 45.00 for 2 breakfasts. I won't be returning. So disappointed. I recommend they change the sign and invest in a better quality food and cooks. read more

I picked up my food up and came home to find a skillet full of brown avocado. Gave it the try anyway and it tasted rotten. read more

1st time there. Food took 20 minutes to come after ordering so if in a hurry not a good place to eat at. I had eggs Benedict and was ok but the hollandaise sauce was not good. Proportions were good. Granddaughter had blueberry pancakes, side of bacon and side of toast all of which were really good. Bacon is thick cut and tasty. Although it's 4.25 for 4 slices. Our total with milk and coffee was 35$ which is a little pricey for breakfast Next time I'll try something else as seems like the place is usually pretty busy. I think maybe the long food time and bad hollandaise was just a fluke which is why I gave them 3 stars and not 2 this last time was a little better love the area that has the glass garage doors. If they open them during summer would be great for the fresh air. read more

Went here with another couple before heading out to Ren Fair. Service was pretty quick initially and food came quickly enough considering they were so busy. I had the banana and pecan waffle. The bananas didn't seem all super fresh as they were a bit black in the middle, but the pecans were good and the waffle was good. Hubby had the Denver omelette with hash browns and wheat toast. The Denver omelet was juicy with fresh ham and green peppers and a good amount of cheddar cheese. It was very filling and he didn't even eat the toast or finish everything else, which he thought was meh. However, our friends had the corn beef hash omelet, which was a bit dry, possibly because of the potatoes in it and the steak and eggs meal. Our friend said the steak and eggs "were a 6.22 out 10" - just not great. Our friend ordered an Arnold Palmer and it was served in a dirty glass, so he did not even drink it. Hash browns also not great. Service was a little slow, too. There are quite a few breakfast places in the surrounding area, so I am not sure if we would go back. Just too many negatives and not enough of a wow factor. read more

Honey Jam Cafe is a lovely place for brunch. The food is excellent and service is good.

I really like the food but the weekend service/wait time situation is out of control for take out. Takes twice as long as they say it will and food has frequently been incorrect. Some cold some hot. It seems like they can't actually handle the volume of takeout and delivery orders they accept. Also their teenage host and hostesses couldn't care less and all are dressed in sweatsuits? So it's hard to tell if they work there or are just bored teens with their families, at times not sure who to speak to up front. read more

The breakfast was delicious and the service was great but I couldn't help but feel that I was bamboozled. I ordered a coffee with my breakfast and the waitress asked me if I would like a glass of juice. I told her yes and when I received my check there was a $4 charge for the juice. Now, it IS my fault for not asking but I felt it was kind of underhanded of the waitress to offer me juice (when I obviously already had something to drink) and not mention that it wasn't complimentary. This isn't a deal breaker as I will probably eat here again but I will make sure to say NO! next time I'm offered juice. read more

Within walking distance of my house lies Butterfield's Pancake House & Restaurant on Wheaton just off of Butterfied Road in the Rice Lake Square shopping center. For one reason or another I've never felt compelled to visit. Today was the day where I finally decided to take the journey and try out the food. The first thing to notice about Butterfields is that it's clean on the inside, the tables and booths are nice and there's a comfortable ambiance. After being seated I was handed a copy of the menu and looked over my options. I was a bit deflated to discover that none of the skillets they offered seemed to be up my alley, they either had very few ingredients or had things I didn't want in them. Rather than risk a custom order I decided to go for the Classic Eggs Benedict. The Eggs Benedict had some overly soft egg whites on it, neither the egg nor the Canadian bacon took up two thirds of the muffin they were served on, so not a lot of meat, not a lot of egg. The hollandaise sauce was fairly bland and a bit too watery to properly compliment the eggs and muffin. I also received hash browns which were fairly crisp but unspectacular. One final note about the meal is that they had Nehi brand soda's. Perhaps it's just me but I consider Nehi to be a bit of an off-brand, I tried the 7-up but it tasted a bit off. In any event, I was not impressed by Butterfields and don't foresee another visit in the immediate future. read more

Like its sister restaurant in Naperville, this one leaves me wondering what people think is so good. It was in its heyday when Egg Harbor closed in Town Square. Some days it is not crowded, some days you wait, my food has been just okay and usually not hot. Better places to spend your breakfast money. read more

Whatever you do, DON'T come here. It is so good and so many people already know about it. But seriously, you should go there because the food is wonderful! It is always busy on the weekends. It has a great comfortable vibe. The acoustics are great (I hate noisy places you cannot have a conversation). It is one of our favorite breakfast spots in IL or in AZ. Get the pancakes instead of toast. C'mon! read more

Waitstaff did a great job. I ordered a bacon avocado omelette and the avocado was brown and gross. Ruined the entire meal. Mentioned this to front of house and all I got was a timid "oh I'm sorry". Nothing to correct the issue and compel me to return. Other locations are much better. read more

Outstanding breakfast spot in suburban Chicago. Brisk and friendly service, some of the best buttermilk pancakes I've ever had. The eggs were cooked just as I asked, the interior was chain-like but fresh and inviting. This is the quintessential American breakfast eatery. read more

Nice brunch place. We split an avocado bacon omelette, and it was good, and still plenty for the two of us. Pancakes and coffee were good too as was the service. They handle crowds quickly and efficiently here (we had a 20 minute wait for brunch). Only thing here is they could use a bigger entrance area as it's a bit tight and crowded with the folks in line. The parking in the Rice Lake mall is a bit crowded as well. So there is a minor hassle factor here compared to other brunch places but it's still a good quality stop, and we would not hesitate to come back. read more

I met with a coworker here for breakfast. They have some nice extra touches to make it a standout from most pancake type places. One is the fresh squeezed orange juice. You can see the oranges waiting to be squeezed as soon as you walk in. Their chocolate chip pancakes are a few steps above the norm. Instead of baking in chocolate chips and then sprinkling a few on top, their topping is white and milk chocolate chunks. Yum! Depending on your mood, you can pick from a variety of seating areas from the typical booths in a room, to a light and airy sections where you are just a glass wall away from sitting outside. One other nice feature of this restaurant is the more modern, clean look it has, rather than the traditional carpeted, dark, amber lighting and flocked wallpaper feel that some places offer. read more

Alright, I'll give this place three stars. We went back for lunch a few days ago and the service actually bordered on decent. Is this an active push from the restaurant management to make dining here a better experience or just a one-off day where they were overstaffed? Time to consult the tea leaves, I suppose. read more

Yummm! Love their menu and drinks. I have celiac and appreciate I can order off their menu easily and food is always great. Will definitely be back! read more

The food was plentiful but nothing special. The restaurant is nice enough, again, nothing special. The service was below average until it came time to deliver the bill and shoo us out the door. The bill was delivered before we were finished eating. The waiter hovered paced back and forth around our table until credit cards were produced whereupon he processed the transaction tableside and disappeared. Less than ten minutes later, he reappeared and informed us that he needed the table and asked us to leave. A new low in service for both us and our friends, a couple that we had not seen in three years and had expected to spend a couple of hours catching up with each other. Not at this place! One hour and you're done! No matter that large portions of the restaurant were unoccupied on this slow Friday morning. Our waiter needed his table back and it didn't matter why we chose this restaurant to meet up with our friends. A mistake we will not repeat! read more

Service was great and prices are comparable to other breakfast places. The unique dishes is what I think sets Butterfields apart. I had a Mexican skillet made with traditional shredded hash browns. My girlfriend had an omelette with dates, bacon and goat cheese. That's the first time we have every seen anything like that at a restaurant. The flavor was awesome, I would highly recommend it. Definitely give this place a shot! read more

Reasonable place for a breakfast. Food in general is okay. This morning the fresh orange juice wasnt. Also very long wait for the food to be served. Service was friendly however. read more

When this restaurant was Butterfields it was our absolute favorite. Since Honey Jam bought it the quality has gone way down. The food is mediocre at best now and the staff is rude. Also, they charged me an automatic 20% tip because we had 3 adults and 3 kids. Our waiter was terrible and I would never have tipped him that. Looks like my family will be finding a new breakfast spot. read more

We have been here twice now, and I really like this place. To be honest, I think it's partly in the name... Butterfield's, fields of butter, fields of butter on my pancakes... Both times, we've had a pleasant experience. A busy dining room, friendly service, and a reasonably short wait for a table. Delicious, plentiful coffee. The kids menu was cute. At a lot of places, we skip the kids meal because it's not a good value, but here you can have a Mickey Mouse pancake (see photo) with sausage or bacon for under $4. Not bad. I don't remember what we had on our first visit, but today I had a California scrambler with a side of pancakes, and my husband had a skillet. My scrambler was fresh and tasty: avocado, bacon, grilled chicken, tomatoes, and cheese. Out of my typical breakfast comfort zone and surprisingly satisfying. The pancakes were also A+. We were too busy eating and tending to our little ones to discuss our food much this morning, but considering how much of my husband's breakfast was (not) left, I'd say he enjoyed it. With so many breakfast places close to us, we don't really frequent a particular one again and again (except maybe the one we walk to in town), but I hope it won't be too long before we find ourselves back at Butterfield's. read more

I have heard very good things about Butterfield's. It's my mom's longtime favorite brunch place, and the friend I went with this weekend chose it specifically as his favorite. High hopes for a pancake brunch! I called prior to ask about the pancake ingredients, as I am vegan, and always looking for a vegan-friendly brunch place for regular visits. Sadly, the pancakes could not be made without eggs or dairy, nor the crepes or waffles (the Gluten Free pancakes also still contain eggs and dairy). My personal goals for the vegan diet allow room to stray when it comes to one-time meals in a restaurant; if completely vegan is impossible (in some places the pancakes are accidentally vegan because they use a powder and water), then I try as hard as I can to be as vegan as possible. I ordered pancakes without butter or whipped cream, with bananas baked inside and fresh strawberries on top. The service was good, and the coffee great even black (no non-dairy creamers). The pancakes tasted really good (above average, but I've had better), and I know that they can't be made vegan like most other breakfast restaurant's because they make the batter from scratch rather than use a powder. So technically it is a "positive" mark, but for me, Butterfield's higher quality recipe is a negative one. Three Star rating is for sadly not vegan-friendly, and not quite up to par with the rave reviews - but it definitely wasn't bad! I'd love for chefs to have an easy pancake mix on hand for vegan diners looking for pancakes?? and the strawberries on top were most definitely pre-frozen rather than fresh. Service was alright, nothing poor, nothing exceptional. I wish I could give 3.5 stars rather than 3, because the food really is very good, and they also baked the bananas into the pancakes like I asked (a lot of places forget to, and just put them on top), AND added bananas on top. The place is a bit pricier than what I'd pay for the amount/type/quality, but it probably comes from the pancakes-from-scratch recipe. I personally will not be back to Butterfield's, because I go to brunch exclusively for pancakes, and now I know they cannot be made vegan here (yet??). But in general I would recommend the place to other diners :) read more

Very disappointed in the lack of concern given to seating arrangements for dining inside. The weather had changed and we choose the enclosed patio area over the filled dining room thinking it would not be as congested. It wasn't soon after ordering that a table of 6 was placed next to us and definitely not a distance of 6' from our table. Shortly after, 2 tables down from us and just as our food was being served, tables were dragged together to seat at least 10. We just wanted to eat and get out of there. I might mention there was a large bright red reminder sign to distance 6'. Did I mention the waitress took the condiments from the table next to us? The bus boys did have masks and some wore gloves couldn't tell what the tables were being cleaned with. The waitress wore her mask. Need a little more concern here. It's a treat to eat out and where to go takes some thought nowadays and we want to support our favorite local places only if we feel secure in their practices. Opt for outside. read more
