    Open face hot beef sandwich, mashed potatoes and a vegetable and salad. $9.99.
    Timothy O.

    I travel a lot and I really like to check out these small diners in these little towns and I must say this is as good a one as I've ever ate it. I ordered the open face hot beef sandwich $9.99. It came with mashed potatoes and a vegetable (I chose hominy) and a salad my helper ordered a double cheeseburger with fries $10.99. I must say I hope you're hungry because these are some large portions. The inside was clean and the staff was friendly everything was promptly delivered to the table and overall it was a very good experience. I will definitely be coming back here whenever I'm in the area.

    When you drive through a small town like Welch, there's not a whole lot going on. So when you see a lot of cars parked out front of a restaurant, it doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna be good. But in this case, it definitely does. Everyone was friendly, my food was amazing, and I can't wait to go back! I recommend the "Bought The Farm" burger, a classic bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg. And the homemade chips are like the spiral cut spuds that you get at the fair. All in all, a wonderful place at any location, but especially in Welch, where your options are limited.

    I highly recommend this restaurant.

    The interior is wonderfully decorated. The food is very good. Thank you Wesley for being such a kind server. We really enjoyed our stop at this restaurant during our travels.

    Huge portions of great  food... It's all good &  the deserts are  awesome!

    The portions are large. And battered onion rings are awesome. We had steaks and pork chops. Both were cooked just to our order and delicious. In house deserts are as tasty as they are pretty.

    I had to stop off and try this place I've been hearing about. It was built, and as well as owned…read moreand operated by a local Amish community. All comfort food done right. I ordered several dishes and all of them cooked perfectly. I've been a professional chef for 21 years. And a cook for even longer. I've eaten at a lot of restaurants a long the way that have simple comfort food gone wrong. These simple recipes were made with love and no mistakes. Every dish every bite done right. Even the Desserts were great. And the fact that this community also built this place by hand, it had this comforting rustic feel to it. Customer service was absolutely great. Every server was Super friendly and courteous. 5 stars all around for the wooden spoon.

    This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Ate here multiple times a month.... Wanted to take…read moreout of town friends here.... Wanted to eat here for special occasions... No more! It's been sliding down hill... I've been going much less frequently.... Past experiences with the new owners in charge included ribs that were so burnt there was no meat left (how do you not notice and send them home with a customer??)... sandwiches that had almost no meat... and the list of pathetically bad food goes on... but I was optimistic- I kept going back.... after all at least the desserts were good! But the last visit was the last straw!! Today I had inedible bread pudding. It was horrible, horrible I repeat horrible!! Seriously NOT edible. It made me ill. It had WAY too much cinnamon. My mouth still burns 2 hours later.. my throat is still burning with cinnamon! My stomach is upset as I stupidly swallowed a bite! It was hard. It was nasty. It was disgusting. I was so disappointed. I've never had that bad of bread pudding, ever in my life. I love bread pudding. This place used to have fabulous bread pudding!! I would have said top 5 bread puddings... I miss those days! I've never seen it this deserted. No one is eating there and now I understand why! It's disgusting. Don't go, just don't go. There may be something there that's good (my entree today was fine - not special but ok) but chances are something that you get will be horrible! So why waste your money to go to one of the more expensive restaurants in this whole area. Just don't do it. Save yourself time, energy and disgusting food that will make you feel ill! Oh... and if you call to tell them... (I'd like to give THEM feedback so they can improve) they might say they're too busy to talk now (how? The place is empty?!). Oh, but wait A they say it's not empty - it's seasonally slow. LOL! Too funny as the last owners never had a slow week let alone a slow season! I feel bad for the former owners!! Many people might not know they sold it... these new people have zero quality control!! I have a feeling they won't be open long... the lines of people waiting to eat here are gone... the tables are empty - even during lunch "rush"! Send up the white flag and die peacefully!! TLDR - food sucks! Don't go!

    Fabulous from scratch food! Always exceptional servers except for one girl and she was friendly…read morejust not attentive, I think she's gone now. If in doubt just ask for Kimmy, she's amazing but I almost hate to put that out there because so is everyone else...just that one bad apple. I haven't taken many pictures over the ten years we have been going but will say we have NEVER had a bad meal at Buttered Bunns. Nearly everything is homemade and absolutely everything is very good! And I'm a super critic! I'm attaching the pics I do have and will add more as I go, to help the business. They've always been open for breakfast and lunch 7-2 and it's amazing...but now are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday until 8pm. Full menu...but the specials are AYCE catfish on Thursday, steak on Friday and chicken on Saturday. My point in this review is to try and get Buttered Bunns enough business to continue the Thurs-Sat evening hours. It's a 90 day trial that they are doing. And let's face it, dinner in Miami is your choice of numerous Mexican restaurants (FYI the newest one is more expensive and no better that the smaller places), and Mia Bella - a mediocre Itialian joint, casinos, fast food, or Montana Mikes which made a brief rally that I praised here on yelp a few years ago and then they promptly plunged again to the home of extremely overpriced crap! As I say this I also remember Woodys. Always overpriced but the food was good when Jeff owned it. New owners (same as Main Street Cafe) will drive it into the ground soon enough. We do have a few pizza places that aren't national chains but none of them offer anything exciting as far as toppings. Same as or less than the chain places...and Cruisin 66, the new wood fired place is the biggest disappointment of all as far as toppings go. Oh and we did have a phenomenal chicken place -Wing Club- (wings, sandwiches, wraps) until last week when the city condemned their rented building after just giving them a license to operate in said building a few months ago. Talk about some sh*t there!! I think they are getting a food truck now so kiss that one good-bye. Back to Buttered Bunns who has always been good... Consistent, homemade, real, excellent service. We live in the next town over so it's a 30 minute drive for us but we have been doing it each week to support their new evening hours. Please do it with us to help this fabulous small business succeed! I can tell you that you can't go wrong with any breakfast...my fav is two eggs over medium, hash browns crisp, sausage or bacon, and hotcakes! So good!! Lunch is so hard to choose! The chicken strips are bomb! So are their sandwiches and "dinner" options too! The AYCE catfish tonight was the best I've had in a 50 mile radius, or more! Several casinos in Miami do AYCE catfish but it doesn't even compare! And the sides at Buttered Bunns are SO much better! The dining area is open and I love listening to the regulars talking with the staff and each other...we go once or twice a week but are from out of town and only a few servers know us and only from our visits to the restaurant. I think some folks must be there every day, especially for breakfast, but they also know the staff outside the restaurant. Anyway...it's a great place to eat and a Small Business in the small town of Miami. I hope this review sends you in to see them!! Oh!! Also...their pie is fabulous! Especially the coconut cream. Best pie crust I've had in a restaurant ever! Good fillings are common but usually come in a crappy crust. Not at Buttered Bunns, their pie crust is tender, flaky and flavorful! To hold all that amazing filling! Enjoy!!

    Good stop along Historic Route 66. To be fair, the name grabbed my attention. Located in a newer…read morearea of town, near Harbour freight, there is plenty of parking around the building. Seat yourself, a waitress quickly stopped by with menus and took a drink order. The menu is pretty big and includes breakfast and a kids menu. I ordered hot tea and am so happy to have received a cup of tea with a pot of tea back-up! Yes, all the tea please. The lemons on the side added to my tea joy. It's the small things. My SO ordered himself an open faced roastbeef sandwich. This is shredded roast on top of a sweet roll smothered in gravy with a side of mashed potato. He certainly ate it like it was tasty. (I did confirm - it is tasty.) I went with an a la carte breakfast of two eggs and one pancake. The pancake had a slightly sweet taste and is fluffy. The eggs were cooked perfectly 'over easy'. You can tell they are cooked as eggs should be over a low heat - no scorch marks on the outer edge. Bathrooms are in the back left corner and are cleanest where it matters most. Diaper station in the ladies room. During our visit many of the guests knew each other and chatted amongst themselves. All the staff we came in contact with were friendly. They kept a close eye on all the guests making sure everyone had everything they needed. All together a good stop.
