Batter Berries - Chicago

Amazing. I have eaten at hundreds of breakfast places all over the world, and Batter Berries ranks amongst the best of the best.From the moment I walked in, there was a positive energy. The front of house staff were all engaged, fun, and sharply knowledgeable about the menu. The energetic beats from Telepopmusic and other indie world dance artists was as refreshing as the coffee, which is excellent.I had a special, a frittata that was a play on Creole Shrimp and grits with Andouille sausage to had even more meaty heft.However, the real star of the show is the French toast slathered in syrup-infused butter. That 's right. Butter. With. Syrup. Inside. It was so delicious, my brain practically exploded. I got the Lemon french toast; there are four regular flavors and a rotating special variety. French toast can be a deceptively subtle thing. The chefs ' artistry was evident from the beautiful shade of golden brown, the satisfying crunch from the caramelized bottom of the bread, and the perfect harmony of flavors.Fairly priced, I left a big tip.

Hold on a second. If you are in the area this is a must.We drove down from highland Park and from the moment we walked in the to the end of the meal we taken care of with top notch service. The food. Wow. I would put the drunken chicken as one of the best things I have ever had, just wow, give me a vat of the house made bbq sauce and let me live my life without judgement... my wife and kids we're also more than pleased with their selection as well. This is a must stop while in the the city and it's on the way to the zoo (bonus)!

First time customer and I will definitely return if I’m back in the area. My waiter Tim provided some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant — incredibly knowledgeable, kind, welcoming, and thorough. I ordered the super french toast flight and the chicken waffles. The blueberry and lemon pieces were the highlight of my french toast experience, complete with a delicious maple butter served on the side. Sweet potato waffle was cooked perfectly, and chicken was juicy and seasoned well although a little on the smaller side. The nutmeg hot sauce!!!! Incredible idea, and the flavors went perfectly with a little maple syrup that Tim brought over for me. All in all a great experience and I think if I had a million dollars I’d give probably at least half to Tim because he made my first day in Chicago so special.

Food was really good! Came out hot and flavorful my favorite was the French toast Flight and their special flavor was strawberry kiwi. They are BYOB so feel free to bring a bottle there is a fee for bottle service.Food: 5/5

I was referred here while in town for a conference. I took an Uber and was excited to enjoy the much raved breakfast menu. Upon entering, the host told me that I had to reserve a spot on the notebook/computer next to him. After inputting my info, the screen went back to would you like to make a reservation? . I asked the host if that screen change meant my reservation went through or I had to do it again. Instead of answering the question, he asked me if I 'd checked my phone. Being unclear in what my phone had to do with their equipment, I rephrased the question. He then got smart-alecy and said something along the lines of, well, IF you check your phone you 'll know ? I once again advised that I was simply trying to understand how their equipment or reservations worked since he was standing right by it. He then told me to simply check my phone. I located my phone while advising him that we need to be nice and not ruin what I 'm hoping to be a positive experience . He then told me he 's always nice and walked away...since I did see a reservation text from yelp. All of THIS happened before we even got a table. Terribly disappointing. I think host duty is not for this person.Shortly afterwards, a lady came by and asked my party to wait outside. I 'm happy that the 2 days of rainfall had ended otherwise I 'd have left. Afterall, who wants to stand outside without even an awning. Thankfully the wait was under 10 minutes and we were escorted to our table. My server, Tim, was ?? amazing. Personable, attentive, and got the orders right even with my companion 's special requests. The food came out steaming hot from the kitchen and was delicious. Yay!!! This review would be 4-star had the impression through the door not been so unwelcoming. While waiting on my meal, I can across another review who also negatively experienced this person. This venue needs to reassign and/or release this employee. He is not a good first impression
