Despite the wait that is sometimes here, I'd say the food and service is worth it. Oh Yams 5 of 5 This is my go to dish. The sweet potato, brussel sprouts, bacon, and peppers go very well with the eggs and havarti cheese. It's a dish I would have never thought I'd like, but the flavors all pop when together. Give it a shot! Biscuit and Gravy 4 of 5: The biscuit had a good flavor, but a bit dry, but the gravy is consistently good and reminds me of Southern cooking. Service 5 of 5 Ambiance 4 of 5 It can be very busy here, but it's great food so plan ahead.

A solid ok spot for me…read more I did feel rushed during my visit. Bussers kept trying to take plates when I still was eating. Eggs were small. Their cold brew coffee comes in a can. Pancakes were good. One stall bathrooms in a cramped area of the restaurant. Pricing is reasonable.

First time eating inside a Buttermilk location. We came here around 8:30 am on a Sunday. Peak times…read moreare 9 am to about 1 pm on the weekends. Avoid coming at those times. Parking was not bad at the time we arrived but it can get obnoxiously packed. I like the Downers Grove one because they have their own parking lot. We were seated immediately even though it was starting to get busy. They have a lot of seating inside. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. I ordered the stuffed breakfast biscuit and it came with farmhouse potatoes. When you cut into the biscuit, you'll find bacon, scrambled eggs, and cheese. The biscuit itself was soft to cut and I liked the gravy. My cousin ordered the strawberry crepe and my girlfriend ordered the fried green tomato benedict. The portion sizes are enormous, you could make two meals out of this. I would say the prices are fair since they do give you a lot of food. If you find them expensive, Denny's and Ihop are cheaper alternatives. Everything was delicious. I forgot to mention but I recommend getting the strawberry orange juice. You won't regret it.

The reservation process has also vastly improved after the transitioned to a new system. As for the food. We get the kids menu options which our kids love (chicken tenders and grilled cheese). I usually do the stuffed biscuit but this time decided to try their special skillet with beef and Brussels sprouts! It was hearty and I would recommend! I asked them to make eggs with olive oil and they were able to accommodate this! My husband got the fried chicken skillet which he has ordered many times before. The honey butter pancakes are our favorite and we usually upgrade that side to this variety. Service was quick and friendly - I continue to recommend Buttermilk!

I loved the decor in the restaurant it was clean and elegant! The service was also top tier!

I'm a pretty easy going person and try to be fair but this was a wild experience…read more First of all we walk in the check in for our reservations and have to fight to be acknowledged. The hostess looked right at me and decided not to speak with me. I almost left but didn't feel like trying to find a new spot to eat. Then we get seated at a small WOBBLY UNSTABLE table that we have to put a napkin under ourselves to stop from wobbling. We then get served the food meant for the table next to us! It sat on our table for at least 3-4 minutes while we attempted to wave a waiter down to let them know. Then they had the AUDACITY to give the plates that were in front of us for minutes to the couple next to us whom the dishes we meant for!? INSANE!! Not a sorry or any kind of compensation. That's a health code violation and they are lucky that couple next to us didn't put up a fight. Their meal should have been free or Just remake the dish for the poor folks?? You made a mistake, admit to it and make it right!! Besides the wild health code violation, the vibes are pretentious and elitist. Not worth your money. Plenty of better options in the area. Super disappointed! Getting too big for your britches Fox Tail. We loved this place years ago but they have lost their touch.

There is decent parking around the building, but the restaurant inside is fairly small. We were there on a Tuesday late mroning and there was probably 4-5 other parties in there. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. She took our drink and food orders quickly. Lots of options for a small restaurant. I had crepes and my husband got biscuits and gravy. We were both very happy with our orders. Note, the do accept credit cards, but they prefer cash, so if you are able to pay in cash, it would help them out!

Bottom Line: Family run, good food, pleasant experience, overall decent value…read more First time here. This Greek family-run diner/restaurant is not much to look at from the outside. You could drive right by thinking it was a vacant building except for all the cars in the lot. The notion of vacant building is dispelled immediately upon entry. The place is busy, loud, vibrant with customers clearly enjoying the food and experience. The interior is decorated simply, with muted colors, is well lit, and clean. There are a lot of hard surfaces which makes the ambient noise level fairly high; however, it did not detract from the experience (but just be advised in case you feel this is bothersome). We were greeted warmly and though the place was packed, we were seated quickly. Despite the diner-like vibe, there is no counter, just tables and booths. Our server was prompt, very pleasant, and efficient. The coffee was hot and flavorful. The food: Large portions, well prepared, warm, savory, satisfying. The loaded Cheers omelette, with hash browns and pancakes, was more food than I could enjoy in one sitting so I have leftovers for tomorrow. Prices are in line with more reasonably priced independent eateries. A two-egg, hash browns, pancake combo is $14. This place will be an option in the future.
