We had lunch there and the meat jun was SUPER salty. The braised short ribs were also salty. Maybe they do breakfast better. Hole in the wall place with only a few small tables and no air conditioning.

We stopped here for breakfast on our way to horseback riding and loved it! With generous portions and staff that looked to genuinely enjoy their job the Button up Café doesn't disappoint. The stuffed French toast is piled high with delicious goodness and fresh fruits. It's definitely an experience not to be missed.

This is a small establishment with about 6 tables inside. They have a shared lot with other businesses for parking and a bathroom around the back of the building. Usually expect a wait for breakfast. No reservations. Fast and friendly service.

Waited outside for 20 minutes then we were seated. That would have been ok except the woman who seated us just walked away and didn't say anything, didn't give us menus or anything. It wasn't until later, we realized that you have to go up to the counter to order, get your own utensils and pour your own coffee. If it's self serve, why were we seated like we were going to get a waiter? Food was pretty good, not worth the wait.

I have visited on several occasions over the years, i really like the fact that I can come here and get the same quality food over the years with the comfort food quality and taste. I order certain things like the short rib eggs Benedict almost every time i come here. I am not an eggs Benedict person. I rarely order it because I usually don’t like most. This is one of the few places that I will especially when paired with the perfectly cooked potatoes or tater tots which are cooked to perfection every time. The place is small the menu has a good amount of choices but not an overwhelming amount. The staff is always efficient and fast. I have eaten here several times and it is busy but remember it’s a small dining room. There are several nice parks nearby or depending if you’re staying in the area. The other dishes on the menu are also just as good. Another favorite of mine is the corned beef hash with the potatoes. Some of my family likes the French toast that is stuffed and looks like a tower when they bring it over. Im more of a savory pallet but I do enjoy a few bites of it, some of the best I have had. You cant go wrong even if you order a basic breakfast the guys knock it out of the park. Definetly recommend just please have respect this is a small place so sometimes gotta wait.

Fast and cheap. If you're looking for an easy hot breakfast in a compact spot, this is it. Not a place for date brunch. I recommend getting your order to go, driving to a nearby park, and enjoying the waterfront view. The scenery will take your mind off the food you just bought.
