About Butterjoint

Butterjoint offers reliably delicious food, including an amazing grilled chicken sandwich with terrific fries. The brunch menu features filling portions like crab cakes and silky quiche, along with a twist on the morning Marg'. The atmosphere is upscale-casual and inviting, with friendly and attentive service from the host, waiters, and support staff. The menu includes pierogis, sauerkraut balls, lumps, French onion soup, crostini, chocolate cake, cheesecake, and rhubarb pie—all highly recommended. The kitchen maintains consistent quality over the years, and the restaurant provides a great spot for a slower Monday night or a leisurely evening. Recent guests praised the knowledgeable staff, excellent small plates like Bluefish Pate', Pierogies, and Baba Ganoush, as well as extensive wine and drink options. Despite a small hitch in service, the overall experience remains exceptional. Visitors also appreciate the innovative menu and top-level service, with one noting a recent dinner that did not disappoint. The staff are helpful, explaining dishes and sourcing ingredients locally. The Shashuka appetizer is large and flavorful, perfect for sharing. The brunch burger is cooked to perfection, and the pierogis and sausage dish are comforting enough to take home. Guests often enjoy the muffin of the day to go, though some wish specialty coffee could be ordered directly. While staffing can be short at times, customers find the atmosphere relaxed and are happy to return to try other dishes.
