Cute black and white decor - it reminded me of what can be purchased at hobbie lobby. The eggs, ordered over medium, were browned and over done. The pancakes were chalky. The syrup is high fructose corn syrup - not maple. Cute but could be better/do better.

Well, maybe I was expecting something amazing with the line to get in. I had the shawarma sandwich and whoever made that must love tzatziki sauce or the sauce that was put all over the lettuce and tomato and chicken. It was served as a sandwich but it definitely needed to be broken apart in order to handle it. There was so much dressing on it it was almost uneatable. My husband's egggs were dry and the potatoes were well over done. I'm sorry to say we will not be returning. Cute place with an interesting menu

me and 3 friends went to brunch to celebrate a birthday and immediately as we were sat Fabian recognized my friend from his job and complimented his customer service skills. He was so happy to take care of us and gave us excellent recommendations (which we took him up on) and by the end we were hugging him and promising to come back and request him (and he told us the other restaurant he serves at so we can see him for dinner too). Food was excellent drinks were strong ? and truly Fabian is the best server ever. TIP THAT MAN 30% HE DESERVES IT!!!!

First time visiting this location. Food came out quick and was not cooked completly for two meals. My omlette was way to huge and it didnt have a good taste. The customer service was awesome but due the the fast tempo of the location. They had to move on to other customers really fast before they could help you out completly. The atmosphere was ok, typical surbaban location soccer moms and city dads. One thing i loved is that they have a 90 minute time limit so you cant hold up other people. More brunch spots need to adopt this idea. 3 stars out of 5 and i would be willing to try them again the next time i visit the Great Lakes area.

Recommend going during the week if you can, the weekends are very crowded. But that is a reflection of the good food, friendly service and welcoming open design!

We went on a Sunday morning for brunch. The food was not bad, and the portions were big, but it wasn't an enjoyable experience. It was crowded, noisy, and the seating was so tight I barely had room to sit.

First time here, going off a friend's recommendation. Wow Buttermilk did not disappoint. Let me start with our fantastic server Emily. So polite and accommodating. Great service with a smile. The breakfast selections are many and portions are huge, enough for two and well worth the wait. I had the Chicken Fried Chicken skillet and it was delicious. The atmosphere is friendly and casual. Prices are reasonable for the portions. Get here before 9am and there's very little wait. Plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

The location of this place is lovely! Right by a Home Goods and Nordstrom Rack, just to name a few. This place is always packed, which I totally understand. The food is worth the wait! Let me not stress this enough, but the portions are HUGE. The food can easily be shared by 2-3 people or just expect to go home with leftovers. That is never a bad thing! The quality of the food is very good and worth the money. The service is quick and friendly! They have great specials, super tasty beverages, lots of options, and a fun- light vibe! I recommend going during the week, and early is normally not too bad. Oh! Also, get their biscuits and honey! You're welcome.Vegetarian options: Great veggie omelets.Dietary restrictions: Keto options, Gluten-free options
