This was my second time visiting the Olympia Fields location and I just was not impressed. The glass doors and windows really need to be cleaned. Presentation is everything. Our server was pretty good. The food was just okay. I ordered the emerald omelette. read more

Visited for the first time on 9/21/25, and was disappointed just walking up to the entrance. All the glass was filthy! Including the door! This indicates disrespect for the customers and is especially unbecoming to a food establishment. The music was terrible and too loud. I will say the service, once seated, was good and attentive, hence the two stars. My spinach omelet was ok, not enough cheese and the potatoes were lukewarm. Their best dish appears to be the french toast. I will not return. read more

Today was the first day of soft opening I am going to call it. Online and walk in orders to take out. I choose online. Everyone inside was friendly. The place isn't ready for sit down but the change from what it was previously to now is evident. Sunny yellow walls and tables waiting for us to come in. I had a regular breakfast: eggs, bacon, hash browns and a biscuit. Packaged well for take out. Bacon was crispy and I didn't have to ask. Scrambled with Gouda and nice amount of cheese. Potatoes were cooked well and the biscuit was flavorful. We have been waiting for this for a long time so get out and go often! read more

The Batter & Berries in Matteson had a really nice ambiance, color palette, and the overall vibes were very fun. I got the French Toast Flight which was AMAZING. 10/10 recommend. However, I had a side of two sausage patties which were really dry, and they costed $7.00 which I thought was high. The service was okay, the hostess was super kind and greeted us as we walked in. Our server, Sierra, was kind as well but she never came back after our food was served, only for the check. That being said, our drinks never got filled up again either. My second party had a meal that contained eggs which they didn't make them how he wanted. The prices were a little high for what we got. $50.00 for just two meals, waters, and one orange juice is a little bit higher than a usual breakfast restaurant. I'd like to visit here again in the future to see what their lunch is like. Overall, nice place, good food, and is perfect for a quick meal. read more

I don't understand why slowness and dysfunction are the characteristics they want to maintain but they do. When you go to the restaurant, the service is slow, no waiting area and you can't sit at the bar to wait for your table. If you order through uber eats, there's something wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME. Food is missing, incorrect food, burnt food. Breakfast is the easiest thing to do, I don't understand why they can't get it right. read more

all I ordered was scrambled eggs and crispy bacon, and it was so bad. The bacon was not crispy, and the eggs were full of butter. tasted horrible. read more

Excellent food and .We love the super flight,pancakes,Jambalaya omelette and waffles also read more

I had a great experience at Batter & Berries. I visit the restaurant located in Olympia Fields and it was my first time. The service was great the food was great and the ambience was nice and pleasant. I had been wanting some French toast for a while and I ordered the French toast flight and it totally hit the spot. I would highly recommend Batter & Berries and I look forward to my next visit. read more

This was my first time at this location. Much larger than the one in Lincoln Park. They don't open until 9a and there is a line of people in the parking lot that wait for service to begin. The French toast flight is amazing and while I didn't enjoy the chicken sausage they friend chicken breast was the savory balance I needed. I will definitely return. Missing a star because they didn't have the chicken Alfredo omelet I was promised by the staff who made it sound out of this world. read more

Their French toast was amazing! I got the dish that came with all their French toast. The flavors were not over powering or sweet. A perfect balance. Good size portions. The play good music and the service was average. You can not go wrong coming here. read more

This is NOTHING like the restaurant up North. The food is HORRIBLE! I have never had an omelet that is actually a hard fried egg with the omelet part thrown on top! The coffee and the hot cocoa taste like water, and when we mentioned it to the server she said, yeah "the boys don't make it so well, and if I wasn't so busy I would have made it. Are you serious right now! She took off the drinks, and she was nice about everything. The best thing they have there are the French toast flights, but most of our flights came to the table Luke warm, or cold. I had such high hope for this restaurant. Why do they differ so much from what's offered up North? Another one bites the dust! Ugh! read more

Great food!!!! Better and Berries NEVER disappoints, if you're not come, why drive to the north side when WE have what we need right here... read more

What an extraordinary experience! Came here on my way back to my southern home and stepped into this gem. As a Chicago native I appreciated the vibe, it felt like a midday club atmosphere with a well curated playlist of classic house . Every morsel of food that dance across my palette was exceptional. 10 out of 10 would eat here again and recommend My highest compliments to the chef(s) read more

Just horrible. No waiting area, people standing all over blocking the entrance, reservation system is absolutely messy. Hostess couldn't differentiate between walk in customers vs. those that actually made a reservation online. Everyone quoted 45min-60 minutes. I had a reservation with a confirmation time of 1:15pm, per their own system, yet, still quoted 45 minute wait lol. A man came in to order a carry out order...he was quoted 20 minutes to even place the order...needless to say he walked out also. Can't even sit at the bar to order a drink and accept the long wait for your table...since bar seating is by reservation also, despite only 4 people at the bar. Rest of the bar filled with empty table settings lol. This location maintains the same dysfunction as their Lincoln Park/Lakeview location. 100% do not recommend even trying to patronize this place. It is simply too many great brunch places that have streamlined processes for customers and offers a great dining experience. read more

Batter and Berries is an essential and refreshing breakfast/brunch restaurant in the area. As someone who has passed through the area for many years, this place deserves recognition for its menu options. Most locations serving breakfast in the area function as cheap eats with similar boring options. This location served both elevated classics and unique dining choices I can not get at other restaurants close by. After experiencing what this restaurant had to offer, it is safe to say that I will return and recommend it to others. FOOD: I was lucky enough to try 3 breakfast items which I found very pleasant. The first option I tasted was the "Cluck-N-(Goof)". This interesting take on the beloved chicken and waffles hit the nail on the head in every way. The sweet potato waffle was the star of the show maintaining a slightly sweet flavor while being mostly savory. The first bite I took widened my eyes and put a surprised grin on my face. The butter provided was their signature "maple butter" which provides an added layer of richness. I really appreciated that the waffle wasn't too sugary and had a depth of flavor. Too often I see places attempt to jazz up this classic dish by adding a barely noticeable element to the waffle but this place did not suffer the same issue. Next, I had the B&B breakfast wrap which also contributed to my positive experience. The server was kind enough to recommend how to order it and I was more than content with the result. I was told to order it with fried chicken, hot sauce, and gouda cheese, instead of the cheddar it typically comes with. Although I swapped the fried check for chicken sausage as a personal preference. The wrap also contains scrambled eggs and hashbrowns so you will definitely leave full. The wrap was hearty, creamy, and well-seasoned. what made this meal truly special was the hot sauce. MAN WAS IT AMAZING, certainly top 5 best hot sauces I have ever had. It was tangy and flavorful. There was a nutty background flavor that added to the mild heat. It transformed the already good breakfast wrap into a dazzling masterpiece. Adding the sauce in between every other bite made the dish impossible to put down. Finally, I was fortunate enough to try the French toast flight, which is their most popular item. It contained all flavors of French toast including the flavor of the week which in this case was creme brule. It was truly magnificent to taste the different slices which all had their own designs and flavors. The cooks here care about the theme of each French toast flavor. While other places might use artificial flavoring to a neutral syrup or drizzle some caramel over bread, this place took the food to the next level. There was fresh fruit, distinct jellies or marmalades, and most importantly, distinct tastes between each slice in the flight. I loved the plating on the creme brule slice, but I have to say my favorite in taste has to be the blueberry. In regards to service, the server was extremely helpful and polite. She provided recommendations for each section of the menu and really made us feel welcome as first-time diners. It was completely packed in the place and she still managed to make sure we were enjoying our experience while juggling other tables' needs. The inside of the restaurant was also very comforting due to the homie vibe of the dining room and the obviously dedicated kitchen staff you can see in the back. In general, I had a fantastic experience and will be sure to return to try their other waffles and rotating specials. If you live in the area and are tired of the same skillets and pancakes, I highly recommend you come here for some delicious takes on familiar foods. read more

Service is slow. After the long wait, I had to settle for a carry out( coffee filled me up) . Food was good.

The food was delicious as well as the drinks, the service was very good. The ambience left much to be desired. I believe with a little clean up it would have been much better. Standing in line waiting to be seated. The front entrance is not appealing to look at. The entrance takes away from the entire experience. By the hostesses desk, the empty cubicles filled with empty food boxes, used paper with nothing but old purple chipped paint was not eye catching. It would've been so easy to put flowers or knickknacks in those spaces, also to clean that area up for an eye catching experience would make it much more pleasant. read more

The food was good, reasonably priced, there's a little more space than the NorthSide location & there's a free parking lot.

I am grateful for the new location. Great service and great menu. I always order from the special because they do the best with seafood for breakfast. I got there a little after 11 and I was able to sit down immediately. The restaurant started getting full around noon for lunchtime. read more

Went to this location with family and we were excited! Let me say this, our service was Excellent!!! However, the food and the drinks were below par!! I'd ordered the mimosas. I'd 1st ordered the lemon mimosa and it horrible , then it was suggested to get the strawberry and that wasn't much better! I would suggest Batter & Berries get better champagne!!! Then, I Brisket Hash!! It was sooo tough and dry!!! My cousin ordered Is croquettes and per her, it wasn't good!! Batter & Berries NEVER had food so bad from the original location, but whomever is cooking at the other locations, needs practice or training!! Spent money and didn't enjoy the food!!! read more

The French Toast flight is not to be missed! Nothing fancy about this place but the food is amazing!

Everything was great and I would recommend that people get the experience!! I took my family to enjoy my father's 77th birthday!

I was really excited that they opened a Batter and Berries in the south suburbs. Having been to the one up north, it's a hassle to drive and park there, plus the wait times. Although the distance and parking was not a problem- I was disappointed that the wait times were just as bad as up north. For a party of two, our wait time was an hour and forty-five minutes!! They need to institute an hour and a half dining like other restaurants that have that type of interest. The food was good - but not worth the wait time. read more

You try to support local businesses, but this is very upsetting. What should have been a warming and inviting experience turned out to to a horrible first impression! Where do I begin? Yep, 10 minutes later (Ciara) came and took our order with an attitude... unprofessional is an under statement. She stated i don't know who came 1st while talking to 3 tables... no personal service! At this point I'm over it and won't be back no time soon. Food was average and cold upon arrival... smh... look at these lil sausages. They gotta do better! read more

Ensure you get there early or be prepared to wait, but gave a lot of great food for a reasonable price. Kind of loud!

Food was delicious! Service awesome! Mimosa flight is top tier !! It's so good I took my sister

Definitely overrated! Everything is A La Carte, which I feel is senseless especially if you are coming with small children that's not gonna eat much anyways. $5 for a kids apple juice is a bit much. The food was ok nothing to brag about, hostess was ok, could've been more friendlier, didn't come back after food came out. Everything is overpriced. I don't recommend this breakfast place at all. Black owned businesses gotta do better. read more

The food was good. The French toast flight is a yummy delight, and shareable. I tried one of the specials which was fried catfish fillet, eggs (which were nice and fluffy) alongside hash brown potatoes Topped off with a Mimosa flight. The waitress was courteous and the atmosphere was nice. read more

This was my first time here. I was visiting from Las Vegas and we had a party of 5. First, I attempted to order on of their draft beers. But it wasn't available or didn't work. Not a big deal. Next, I ordered the BFF Chicken Sandwich. It was buttermilk fried chicken that came with lettuce, tomato, cheddar, pepper aioli, B&B pickle chips & romain on maple butter Brioche. The pickle chips were missing. No big deal. But my concern is that I wasn't notified until after I received my food and asked about it because I checked the sandwich. The reason that they weren't on there was because they said they were out of them. It's understandable. But why not mention that before I placed my order for it? That way I can decide if I want to order something else. It would seem like they were betting on me not checking and just diving into the food. That's why I'm giving it 3 stars and our server didn't come back and ask if the rest of our party wanted another round of drinks. read more

The food was delicious. When we were looking for a location to host a meetup for our book club... someone suggested here. And I am so glad that we did. We were able to enjoy ourselves and have amazing conversation around food. Our server was awesome. She made sure to accommodate all of the requests made. And when we had to wait a little longer for our drinks, she made sure to make up for it. Our first book club event was made awesome because of the ambiance. And the photogenic atmosphere (the greenery wall) made our day. read more

Love this location. Easy to get a seat. Food is pretty consistent. The French toast is amazing. I typically like the specials like the fried catfish but today I tried the creole omelet and it was incredible. My compliments to the chef!!!!! read more

Look so sooo good! Prices are reasonable customer service was great and there was zero wait time. What more can you ask for?

We had a party of 7 and it was said to be a 2 hour wait. They accommodated a party of 20 which is half the establishment on probably their busiest day. In my opinion, a party 10+ is renting out the venue. After a fuss of our wait time getting longer, we were then told to split our party 2 and 5. Which isn't fair after we waited our allotted wait time. The hostess was a little passive aggressive which cause further friction of wanting to dine. After more conversation, they agreed to seat us at the table. Food wait time was 15 min (thankfully!) and 4/7 of us ordered the lamb. Really good! It's BYOB, but they suggest you purchase a liter or half liter (the waiter's speech changed) of their juice. Support them. Things get better. Live and you learn! read more

I'm used to going to the one in Lincoln Park but I had a relative in town that was south so I said well let's go where is more convenient and I won't have to deal with morning traffic. I wish I would've just dealt with the traffic. the one in Olympia Field was greatly greatly greatly disappointing. They had no catfish. They had no short ribs. My hashbrowns were like they were cooked the day before and refried my French toast some of it was hard. Some of it was good. The floor was dirty. The seats were dirty. It wasn't that crowded for the waitress not to be able to take our plates away or ask If we were OK ? I will never ever never ever never return to Olympia, Fields and berries to the owner manager, treat us self just the way you treat North and Lincoln Park. We deserve the same service for the same price. read more

I enjoy brunch so much. I typically get the crab cake benedict with hash browns. I have to be honest and say, I had to return my hash browns for some more fresher ones before. The server exchanged them with no problem. The mimosa flight and french toast flight are a big deal here. There is no need for syrup on the french toast. If you add it you're just a big back . My favorites are the blueberry, caramel, and lemon french toast. Depending on your budget it's a tad bit pricey, but worth it. Make sure you are added to the wait list before going. I would suggest going during the week, weekends can get crowded. read more

The food was cold as ice. It was catfish , and it was rubbery., Also the bus boys cleaned and broke down a table next to u,s, and what ever they sprayed cause me and my family to gag and cough profusely. At that pointI I was ready to go for The food. On top of the inattentive service and detail. I hope whatever they used to-clean the table was not toxic with log term effects; because our throats burned for the rest of the day. Worst restaurant I've ever been to. The staff especially the manager, the 2 boys that Rome down the table, and the waitress heart was clearly not in the job. Clearly, I will not be going back there ever in life. read more

Batter & Berries in Olympia Fields was just as good as the one up North. I live 10 mins away and am a food snob so don't take my review lightly! We went on a day where it was -10 degrees outside so we didn't have a wait. The seafood cakes, the lemon French toast, and the steak and omelet was bomb. I honestly think the sides up north are typically meh. I had hashbrowns and sunny side eggs cooked to perfection at this location. I'm glad I didn't take that hike for similar quality food. As far as atmosphere, folks were nice. MJ was our server and she was warm and helpful. I'm so glad we finally got to go here on a slower day. I'm praying they can stay here so we can continue to enjoy bomb food in the burbs! read more
