    Bright sunny interior
    Susan W.

    It started out with a FREE street parking spot (the whole area out front is unmetered) so we were excited that this will be an easy place to revisit. The interior is bright and sunny and we were greeted warmly. There were a bunch of specials but because it was our first visit, we wanted to try the regular menu. The French toast flight and breakfast wrap came out and looked awesome. They tasted great as well. Portions were good sized and everything was served quickly. Service was really kind and genuine. We will definitely return!

    Chicken and waffles, shrimp jambalaya omelette, and brownie french toast
    Adele B.

    Chicken and Waffles were perfect! The waffle is lightly sweet with cinnamon like spices. The chicken breast has a mild herb seasoning the hot sauce I got on the side and it was perfect for dipping the chicken breast. There are small pieces of chicken inside the waffle. Good serving size for $20. My boyfriend also got a side dish that came with a salmon croquette, a shrimp with a jambalaya omelette and brownie French toast. It was a small serving size for $30. The service was ok and the wait was only 15 minutes at the most. (It wasn't crowded) Ambiance was nice, it's a small restaurant probably could use some decorating.

    Food was bomb, the wait not so much lol but I guess it comes with wanting quality food. The service was okay. It was very cool to see the mayor walk in. The place itself is just a regular restaurant and the ambiance seems good for anyone.

    I actually liked the food here. We got there as soon as it opened but it got busy really fast. A friend of mine invited me to come and told us getting there right at open is the best time to beat the crowds. It fills up fast and I did see people wait for a long time. It does get loud like your typical eatery and definitely wait a bit more than usual, this is not a fast food place. Now for the food, I liked the French Toast Flight that was recommended to me. The Toadt had a nice subtle crunch, wasn't overly sweet, didn't feel too heavy after biting in, and the presentation was great. I didn't mind the wait as I chatted for awhile. Didn't try anything else though, but honestly I liked it. I guess the only downside is the wait time. Overall get here early for the best experience.

    Food was good! Service was wonderful. The prices not so much. Somewhat on the expensive end for just breakfast.

    Just finished and it's time to celebrate!

    Came here to enjoy a delicious breakfast and support our local businesses/ people to celebrate our month of February after running in the Miles Per Hour race at the Auto Show. What a pleasant surprise ! We were seated right away, service was great, food selection was awesome and everything was delicious ! Would highly recommended this spot anytime you are visiting the area if you want a great meal with a smile in a relaxed setting (without the boujee attitude or atmosphere )! We will definitely be back !

    Poutine and French toast mini flight
    Jana E.

    I couldn't possibly be any more impressed with Batter & Berries, they absolutely knock it out of the park. I got the poutine and the serving size was massive! I very rarely have leftovers and I took about half of it to go because I was so full. We also got the mini French toast flight and I would say it was the best French toast I've ever had from a restaurant. My favorite was the caramel, closely followed by the blueberry lemon. And the maple butter! My taste buds are still in heaven. The picture is partially through me going to town on the poutine, I was too excited to take a picture first. The owner also stopped by to talk with us and she was so kind and delightful! I won't come back to Chicago without coming back here!

    Batters & Berries on State Street is a newer spot with a good vibe. It was a bit crowded, so there was a short wait, but once seated the service was great...our waiter was helpful with food suggestions It's BYOB Food wise, the jerk chicken was tasty (though not spicy), and the salmon croquettes were decent but a little salty in my opinion (I'm picky because my mom makes the best). My friend preferred the croquettes, while I leaned toward the jerk chicken. The French toast flight was the highlight for me..every flavor was good, but the caramel was amazing. I also love that the restaurant is Black owned, with a fun purple & yellow theme tied to the owner's fraternity. Overall: great service, good food

    I was recommended to try this brunch spot because it was close to our hotel in chicago. I was also excited because it was a black owned restaurant that the mayor frequence as well. However Once I arrived I was told that they were only taking to go orders due to some technical difficulties. So I decided to order my meal to go. I ordered their basic breakfast and requested my hash browns be extra crispy. The wait wasn't too long and I thought it was interesting that you had an option of a portabella mushroom instead of bacon. I chose to go with the chicken breast. Once my food was done I requested some condiments to go with the meal. I was not impressed with my hash browns as they were not as requested however the flavorfulness of the fried chicken breast was incredible! Unfortunately I found that the eggs and potatoes were mid at this. I would love giving the opportunity to try something else especially if the restaurant was fully open.

    Brisket hash
    Diana M.

    This place fills up fast! The French toast flight is a great way to try all them all. I liked the strawberry one the best. I wish the brisket in my brisket hash were a bit more tender, but the flavor in the sauce was absolutely delicious. I think the cheesy hash was my favorite part of the meal! My meal was good, but quite oily as you can tell in the picture so took one star away.

    Information tracking my spot o line & precious time spent waiting to be seated which never happened due to Morgan's lack of customer care.

    Morgan was the hostess-Fathers day -2026- we arrived @12pm & joined waitlist. We were told it would be a 45min wait. & advised to download "YELP" to track spot in line. Did that ---we started out 23 in line. Time progressed 45 mins became 1hr. I went inside to inquire as several groups arrived after my party of four were seated before us. I was told they joined waitlist online & according to Yelp we were now 17 in line . We decided to stay and noticed we had been waiting for 2hrs . Went inside saw empty tables --was told by Morgan we were 7 in line. Went back outside then decided to order through Uber Eats to take home. Went inside 30 minutes after Oder to get food. Told Morgan about the Uber order she said with haste & attitude "You can not sit in here to eat ". That was never the idea as I gave my spot to another patron - party of 3 . I told Morgan not to cancel me on the waitlist . Even though Yelp said I was still 5 in line Morgan immediately gave a table to the People who had my spot. I told her she was wrong and that her actions were suspect . I said since I told you about my Uber Eats order tables became suspiciously available. I mentioned I was writing a Yelp review about her. Only then did Morgan change her position . Now she was ready to sit us with the party of three or give us a table of our own . I realized after waiting nearly 2 hrs & 45 minutes that Morgan could have used discretion much sooner as she later stated after being aware of a Yelp review. Morgan's actions were inconsiderate as it was raining outdoors as well. She had a bad attitude & I told her I was a repeat customer and this experience had me feeling unappreciated . She should be trained to handle customers with care. TT 6/2026

    Peach Cobbler French Toast
    Shelby S.

    If you follow me, you know how I feel about Batters & Berries. It's a no-brainer - whenever I am in Chicago, we're going. I think having rotating French toast flavors is one of the most brilliant ideas, and when they are executed like Batters & Berries does - it's surely a treat. I won't go too in depth on my review, because it's biased, I've already done one and I LOVE THIS PLACE, but we did stop in for my best friends Bachelorette Brunch at the new location on State Street and had a ball. Parking was a breeze, the new location is also a bit more spacious, with plenty of seating and the familiar warm vibes of the others. Our server was as sweet as pie and that Peach Cobbler French Toast with the catfish plate on the side...to die for. The flavors are immaculate, we brought our own bottle to pop because we are no stranger to the BYOB policy and truly had an enjoyable time 10/10 NO NOTES - ever. We also may or may not have asked for a few containers of hotsauce for later

    I don't recommend this place!!! Our waitress was awesome!! She was not the reason for this poor review. The inside is so cute but we were very quickly dissatisfied. My friend and I ordered breakfast sandwiches and they got my order wrong. I asked for ham but received bacon. I told our waitress and she took it back to the kitchen, apologized, and then got my food around 10 minutes later. Mind you, it took like 30 minutes to get our food after we ordered. Also, the eggs made my friend and I sick. We asked for them scrambled but they were very runny. My friend couldn't even finish them and I had a stomach ache later on. Make sure you check in with the host if you get in the yelp waiting line!! Normally I will receive a text saying "your table is ready, please see host" but my text said "please check in with host upon arrival." This was just a misunderstanding on my part so I wasn't too upset. I'm more disappointed with the over priced food, wait times for service, and the quality/accuracy of the food. Not worth it.

    My mother ordered food today (Mother's Day 5/10/26/) and we're not pleased with the service we…read morereceived today. My mom orders from here often for family events and work events, however, today they lost our order ticket so our 2pm order wasn't made until we went to pick it up, and we didn't get it until 3pm. We handled that with grace and didn't complain. When they finally got the food to us and put it in the trunk, they spilled the juice from the Italian beef tray in the trunk. Which again, we were very calm and didn't complain about it. When the food got to the house and we started to unpack, we realized that we didn't get the steak sandwich tray we ordered, but a tray of mixed sandwiches. My mother called the restaurant to see how we can fix this, since we didn't need a tray of mixed sandwiches when we ordered the Italian beef and chicken Vesuvio separately as it was. The manager, Ali, basically called my mom a liar, said they checked the trays and we got the correct one. This is clearly not the case. She had horrible customer service skills and even refused to refund the difference for the price for the mixed sandwich trays and steak sandwich trays. As long-time customers we expected better. I've attached screenshots of the receipt and the food we receive. Edit: we spoke to the manager Kara today She was apologetic and made everything right for us.

Small spot you could casually pick up food and walk to if you're around downtown. Lots of cheese and sauce with a beautiful baguette to remind you that this place makes pizza too. Dough, cheese, and sauce are what this place really excels in. It's no surprise that they do it well across the board. Out of the sandwiches I tried, the gardinera pairs the best with the Drunken Chicken sandwich. I'm unsure if my hunger pangs were amplifying my experience, but this sandwich was something of legends... The ingredients combo into something a little too unfair to not be distributed to the rest of America. The food really feels special when you have it late night after a really long day of fun. The people are casual and nice and didn't make it awkward to eat there even though the place itself is quite small. Considering cops came in to order here out of all the places around, I can see how anyone could make this their staple spot.

It is shareable and hearty. The bread is so good. It's crusty and soft on the inside. It allows the right amount of sauce to soak in without being a giant mess. I don't consider it a save half and eat later sandwich though. In my experience it loses a bit of structure if not eaten right away. I have had the turkey, tuna, and meatball sandwich as well. All good and able to split into 2 meals and they save well. As mentioned, this spot is on repeat for me and haven't disliked anything. The pizza is ok but I wouldn't choose it as my pizza spot. There are better but if you are in a pinch a single slice option is nice. I enjoy the little Tiramisu cup. Perfect size. If you normally scroll by and wonder if you should try Nonna's go ahead. It's a good option.

Super friendly lady at the cashier (all smiles, patient, and offered menu help)! Also fast service (got my order within a few minutes). I visited on a Saturday late afternoon and it was very chill here (also shoutout to the early 2000's era music playing :p it was a vibe).

I decided to cross over & check out this old world Italian Deli. Conti Di Savoia is small Italian grocery store w/an Italian deli that has w/outstanding & inexpensive sandwiches. When I went in there was a line of people waiting @ the deli counter waiting to place their order. I must have looked confused because the owner directed me & told the line started on the other side towards the back of the store. What I found was an awesome of fresh handmade sandwiches for a very reasonable price. I ordered an 8" pastrami w/mozzarella cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, red onions, mayo, & Italian oil drizzled. What I got was an awesome inexpensive sandwich loaded with/fresh ingredients. Absolutely delicious. After I got my sandwich the owner (I introduced myself (I think his name was Mike) rang up the sandwich. He said they have been there for 35 years. There's also a small dining area in the front of the store where I sat & devoured my sandwich. Like I said this is small Italian store w/a nice selection of products like meats, cheeses, pastas, wine, olive & deli items. I throughly enjoyed finding Conte Di Savoia. The pastrami sandwich was awesome w/a generous portion of pastrami & toppings for a reasonable price. I'm the type of person who who loves finding new places to eat. Most times unless I find great food & reasonable prices I won't go back but I feel like I found a real gem W/Conti Di Savoia. I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AGAIN.
