Food was amazing! I got the chicken & waffles but it was made with sweet potato batter which was even more delish. Every single staff member was super sweet & made you feel welcomed. Our server was cracking jokes & riddles the entire time which made the experience feel like we’ve all known each other already. Food was also delivered extremely fast. 100% will be back & also recommending to all my friends/family!

I finally made it to Batter and Berries! Excellent experience. Went early on a weekday, so street parking was still available. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. I came alone and they sat me at the long table. Another guest came alone as well, so they sat her on the other side and we kept each other company. It took me forever to decide, because every time I thought I figured it out I discovered something else. I decided on the Spinach Omelette, then I looked up and saw the board listing the Caribbean Pork Chop, Catfish, and Salmon Croquettes which I ultimately decided to order. They were loaded with salmon. The cheesy hash browns were also delicious. Definitely will be back. Next time I’ll try the French Toast

I celebrated my birthday brunch at Berries and in Chicago, and overall it was a really nice experience! The atmosphere was welcoming, comfortable, and had a great vibe for a special occasion. We ordered the Crabcakes Benedict, French Toast, and the Chicken Fajita Egg White Omelette. The food came out super fast, which I really appreciated. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The French toast was especially delicious, and the crabcakes Benedict was a standout. I did run into two small issues: I asked for no cheese on the hashbrowns, but they came with cheese. Luckily, the staff corrected it within a few minutes, so no big problem there. The second issue was with the omelette — one piece of chicken had foil stuck to the backside. Despite those minor bumps, the service was friendly, the food overall was very good, and the environment made the celebration enjoyable.

If you're into having a food experience this is the place to go. Not only do they serve these amazing flights of French toast, they have a BYOB. Who doesn't love a BYOB. I went with some girlfriends and ate my belly full. The food wasn't overwhelming and it was very tasty.

We were looking for a new breakfast place around our area and the options in this place were exactly what we were looking for. Wait time was about an hour, which seems excessive, but take into account that it was Labor Day and breakfast places that were open were very busy. Nonetheless the hostess was very kind and they were trying to get people in and out as quickly as possible. Our waitress was incredibly nice tool care of us with a smile and honestly the best attitude, considering how busy it was I wouldn't have blamed her if she was not in the best mood, but not the case at all. Food wise I can honestly say it's been one of the best breakfast places we've been to in a good while. The french toast were fluffy, buttery and sweet, not to mention that portions were great. The sweet potato waffle was AMAZING, never had a waffle like that before, and the fried chicken breast it came was was crispy, crunchy and savory. The hat sauce this came with was very fitting to the dish and I enjoyed everything about it. Great place, amazing atmosphere, and the owner is always walking around taking care of tables, the environment, and the employees. Absolutely worth it!

Delicious food, great atmosphere and incredible service. They are known for their amazing French toast, so be sure to order a French toast flight…you won’t be disappointed! Everything we ordered was delicious. Tabby was our server and she made sure all of our needs were met and was a good time!!!! We also met the owner who was so vibrant and attentive! I would highly recommend B&B and cannot wait to go back!

First Experience was Amazing, by service and by the flavor! Infused butters flavored the French toast! My tastebuds were delighted! Oh & the Cheese Eggs topped it off with perfect fluff to cheese ratio! I can’t wait to go back!
