This place is cute! Your typical diner vibes--which I love. The service is good, everyone is very nice and quick to help out. The food is just okay. My breakfast burrito was good--nothing to write home about. The hashbrowns were pretty bad, very undercooked. My partner's churro waffle combo was good. Only get that if you have a huge sweet tooth! My friend was pretty underwhelmed with the salad, but said it was okay. Overall, definitely a serviceable place to go to if you're in the area.

I had a better dining experience at this place this time around compared to my previous visit. For my main dish, I ordered the country fried steak topped with country gravy, served with eggs (I chose over easy), a choice of hash browns or O'Brien potatoes, and toast. The country fried steak was decent--not overly salty--and the gravy was tasty as well. That said, next time I'd probably ask for the gravy to be on the side instead of poured over the steak. My white toast was also much better this time; on my last visit, the rye toast was so dry it was almost cracker-like. Since I enjoyed the hash browns previously, I decided to try the O'Brien potatoes this time. While they were cooked perfectly, they seemed to have cooked the potatoes with some sort of tomato paste so they had this flavor that I didn't really care for. The texture was spot on, but the taste just wasn't for me--it's just my own personal preference. We also ordered a few sweet items to share at the table: a three-stack of buttermilk pancakes and French toast. The pancakes were excellent--fluffy and springy. The French toast, on the other hand, was a bit disappointing. Although it looked great presentation-wise, it tasted overly eggy and lacked sweetness and spice (like cinnamon). I had to douse it in syrup to get some sweetness in each bite, and even then, it still felt off. I'd skip that next time. Service started out great--our first server was friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, his shift ended during our meal, and the server who took over wasn't nearly as attentive, which left the service feeling inconsistent overall. We were tempted to try the bread pudding but were too full. I've also heard great things about their upside-down apple walnut pie, so I'm definitely planning to come back for dessert sometime soon. All in all, the food here is pretty good, especially if you're really hungry and in the mood for a big hearty breakfast. Portions are definitely generous. However, I'd say this place leans more toward quantity than quality. While I enjoyed the big portions, I've had better breakfast experiences elsewhere.

1st time trying out this place and I ordered for to go! The order was ready in about 20 minutes so it was pretty fast. There's a lot of parking in the lot as well so parking was nice and easy The inside of the restaurant was pretty large and kind of reminds me of black bear diner a bit in terms of ambiance and decor. I got the biscuit breakfast and the portion was HUGE and so heavy. You can literally eat like 2-4 meals out of this. Pretty much it's biscuits covered with gravy, cheese, eggs, and chicken tenders. It tasted good but man it is pretty heavy for a first meal of the day lol. This dish kind of felt like something you'd eat if you had the munchies and was pretty solid. For the onion rings, they were pretty smackin and the ranch was pretty fire As a ranch person, their ranch is pretty legit My wife got the banana foster french toast. It came with 6 half slices of french toast topped with caramelized bananas and sitting in a pool of syrup. Pretty good but also really sweet. I kind of wish that it wasn't sitting in syrup as I feel that it made each piece of french toast really sweet. I would've just preferred all the syrup on the side tbh to control how much syrup goes on it. Otherwise, the french toast itself was pretty fluffy and had a great texture. Overall pretty decent food for a great price!

My husband had never been here before, & I hadn't been here in years, so we figured let's see what it's like these days! It was definitely busy but the staff was attentive & quick -- clearly a popular spot! They have upgraded the decor since the last time I was there, & thought it looked nice! We were very pleased with how many vegetarian options they had, too. My husband ordered a Biscuit Benedict, & was able to substitute the Canadian bacon for an Impossible patty! He said it was super delicious! I ordered the feta & veggie omelette, which had a ton of flavor! They also had blood orange juice which was absolutely to die for.

Walking in & welcomed immediately! They were very kind and sat us down quickly. Our waitress was very kind and great memory. She took our orders without writing it down and everything came out right. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. We went to the one in concord but they do have one in Oakland and Vallejo as well but I will say their service was so good I wouldn't mind making the drive out and enjoy the area and good weather to come.

From the Autumn Menu ... Meat Loaf Melt Sandwich

Elaine P.

Despite some "rough edges," ButtercuP on Clayton Road remains our reliable destination. We live close by and have few other options for All American food in the neighborhood. On our most recent visit, we were happy to see the new Autumn menu. I had gone with the idea of comfort food in the form of either the meat loaf or a patty melt. A new item, a meat loaf melt, sounded like the best of both worlds. Large portion, a bit on the greasy side. Glad I opted for the horseradish sauce on the side. Not to my palate. Would have totally ruined the sandwich. Sweet potato fries were quite good. Two of the pies for the fall season were tempting: pecan and pumpkin. Next time. Past experience shows I shouldn't expect much from the wine list. Often the server doesn't even know what wine is available and it is rare to even find a printed copy on the table. This time I ordered a Merlot, not the best option. In recent visits we have found the bread underdone. Inedible! Also salads are not up to quality of the past so we usually stick to sandwiches, the low cal salmon plate

Food ServiceShout out to our outstanding waitress ,Pearl! She's awesome, remembers your order and makes you feel welcome the whole time. The food was delicious, try the tex mex,their sauces are great! Bonus-they have great brunch cocktails! They have a sesonal menu, that varies. They have pies, the chocolate silk is really good. Haven't tried the rest, but everything we've had has been delicious. Stop on by and say hello to Pearl!

I recently went here the first time and it was great. The food was affordable and tasty. The building was cozy and relaxing. The staff was very friendly. When I first arrived I asked for a mocha, which it turns out is not on the menu. Instead of saying that, the waitress asked them to make a special mocha for me.

This is our family favorite for a Sunday meal after church. We have come here for years and the kids have grown up with Ben, Nicole, Pearl "The Doctor" and countless others. The food is always amazing and makes the kids think of home and many happy celebrations held here. Whenever they are visiting the Bay we always have to make a special stop to on of our favorite nostalgic meal stops for some "home cooked food". We love this place and the family that runs this establishment.

Ordered biscuits and gravy it was terrible. The whole plate was covered in cold thick thick gravy. Told them my breakfast was cold. They heated up in the microwave. Tasted it and it was awful. Told the waiter it was awful to take it away. My husband's hamburger was put on a bun that looked like someone sat on the bun but he said it was good. The waiter we had apologized for the biscuits and gravy and removed it from our bill with the approval from his manager. His service was very good and attentive. It was the first meal I did not like.

This place did us justice. We ordered enough food to feed an army apparently. We ordered a stack of french toast to share (OMG! SUPER GOOD!). I had a regular omelette with avocado and jack cheese and bacon - HUGE! BF had a kitchen sink omelette that he enjoyed. I really liked the home fries the most. The muffins are also great! Order them instead of the toast! Even my three year old ate his breakfast: Blueberry muffin, rice krispies and fruit. We had enough for leftovers for lunch. $50 for three of us to eat. Worth it though! read more

We then ordered our food which took 15-20 minutes but two tables had barely sat down and got their food before we even did. And left before us . Food wasn't all that good either something was off about it. Then we wanted to order dessert and again another long wait . Overall it wasn't a pleasant experience. Took too long read more

My husband and I came here for dinner Sat evening around 5pm. The first thing we noticed as soon as we walked in the door was how cold it was inside. It was almost like they had the A/C on but it's Feb and only 50 degrees outside!! We requested a booth, unfortunately they sat us in a half booth right next to another half booth with 2 customers in it. Elizabeth came by and took our drink order. My husband got a Racer 5 beer $5, I just had water. For dinner I got the Monterey Chicken Sandwich which came with a small amount of fries $13.99, and my husband got a Chorizo Omelet $13.99 with a Biscuit & Gravy $1.99 which he enjoyed. My chicken sandwich was just ok, a bit too charred for my liking, and the small amount of fries weren't fresh. Thank goodness the ranch was homemade. This place definitely caters to the seniors that live nearby. Elizabeth checked on us several times, getting us napkins, & drink refills. Now that there's no more mask mandate only half of the staff, and customers were actually wearing them. read more

Why tf did I go here? If I wanted to be overcharged for bad food, I'd just eat gas station sushi. The pastrami sandwich tastes like old meat. The bbq chicken salad looks like a deflated version of the picture online/on menu. Patrons are all retirees or guys who want to bring their side piece to "try something new" (out of the way from places people under 50 would go). The pie is soggy, oversweetened, and may be store bought. Never again!! read more

I've always enjoyed my meals here so I felt great in picking up their Holiday Feast for Thanksgiving. I was disappointed. The turkey breast, dressing, vegetables, & cranberry sauce were good, yet the salad was already turning brown. The mashed potatoes we didn't serve, no taste & very thin. And the pecan pie was so hard to cut into. It was either old or overcooked. And their pies are always wonderful. The people always provide good service. I'm hoping during this pandemic, things aren't normal & will still try again, yet will probably pass during the holidays. read more

I have been here several times now as I live very close by and overall the food is pretty good. It is nothing to write home about but if your in the area and hungry for breakfast (I have never eaten lunch or dinner here so I have no idea how the food is then) then it is a decent choice. The eggs Benedict is good but like most other item on the menu is in my mind way over priced. This is the second time I've tried their pie as it looks pretty appetizing in the display case, but don't let that fool you, it is tasteless and taste as if it is full of preservatives, definitely not homemade! Overall, I would never make a special trip to eat here but if your in the area, hungry, and don't mind dropping $20 on breakfast, then the buttercup is for you! read more

Tried ButtercuP on Clayton Rd. in Concord this morning. Food was great! Service was even better! Our waitress (first initial J) was super friendly, very attentive and just all around a hard working kind human being. The manager or manager in charge this morning also greeted us and inquired about our visit and was very kind. With mandates and vax card checks in effect. I urge you to be extra kind to workers who choose to follow the rules and enforce them. They are just trying to get thru the day like everyone else. THEY do not make the rules, but they are working and trying to pay bills just like everyone else. Just be kind. I look forward to breakfast at ButtercuP again soon. read more

I was disappointed once again. This time I was excited to get the coconut shrimp off of the menu. It arrived pretty fast (which was good) but the taste and quality was not good at all. I hardly ate any of it. What a waste if 20$. I lied and told the waitress I wasn't very hungry. The service was very disappointing also. Not once did anyone check on me. And I asked for a side of ranch when the meal came out however it never came. It felt like the manager wasn't around because the employees seemed awfully playful and kidding around in the back area. I wish I could report better. This place is close to home. I have to drive further out for a better meal and service it's a bummer. read more

Always been a fan of Buttercup breakfast but I have to highlight the exceptional service! I used to frequent this place pre-COVID and always had a good experience. However, during these times I prefer using Doordash to limit my outdoor contact. Today I had an issue with my delivery order, with a spilled drink. the driver told me to contact the restaurant directly who then told me that I'm actually supposed to contact Doordash. After I got it all sorted, Doordash was able to redeliver my drink but what stood out is the staff not only sent me my original drink but threw in some goodies and a personal note of apology. It's going above and beyond that truly make a place stand out. Thank you Buttercup staff! read more

In the area and decided we were hungry so why not try that place that Grandpa used to take us to? Not much to look at from the outside. In fact, I think we weren't even sure it was open until we stepped inside. The menu is a two sided, laminated list. No pics or descriptions. But there is a QR code that takes you to the website menu with all of the details. Yay, they had a gluten free bun for my allergic boyfriend! Guess whose getting a burger. Our waitress was so super friendly and answered our questions cheerfully. After ordering, he realized he's ordered something (he used to get with grandpa) that wasn't even on the menu. She didn't even question it though. He's very happy. I ordered fresh salmon with rice and veggies which was all cooked perfectly. Oh. My. Gourd. I almost ate every bite! Restaurant eating has been very hit or miss since pandemic. Short staffed, undertrained, grumpy and exhausted. Buttercup was none of these. I'm so glad we popped in.

It's a nice american diner and it's what you'd expect from most diners. I got the Chicken Fried Steak, Shrimp Alfredo, and Chocolate Cream Pie. It's a good place for when you're hungry and you want some good food. There's not much noteworthy about it besides it having many standard diner options. The Chicken Fried Steak was nice and crispy and it came with some sausage gravy on top which also tasted great. The potatoes on the side were fine as well. Shrimp Alfredo was a bit soupy but it wasn't terrible just alright. read more

Thirty two minute drive not worth it this time or ever more to get best service from best waitress in town Pearl and great chefs because classless white lady in charge decided to butt into business already paid for and treat customers like shit! so have been coming to restaurant for over twenty years after church on Sundays:) Never had a problem til I came w my service dog to restaurant to eat, when I am working hard to take care of my fur babies, feed homeless people and their kids w cancers, and take care of my legally blind mother, and trying to find employment! stopped in here for a bite to eat since I haven't and hadn't eaten in two days caring for others! So ordered a salad and was able to get my blind mother out of bed and into shower and clothes and out for a nice meal w best waitress Pearl, who treats all her customers like little queens and kings! So fed my mother and not myself and paid the bill and left a nice tip! One of the employees came by to put the change on the table and my service dog barked at her because he was protecting me, doing his job! So waiting for someone to wrap up my entire salad and this white lady in charge a supervisor begins bugging me as to what happened her employee got scared of my service dog! I said he was just doing his job and that tip was left for Pearl:) I said,"your employee lunged at my dog when she put the change on the table instead of handing it to me ok! He only barked once doing his job! Then she laid into me more,"we don't allow barking dogs to hurt my employees." I said he wasn't hurting anyone! she said move to the patio now! I said I will not! she said ASAP! I said I will not you all were in the wrong and it's hot outside he needs sir con my puppy! she said I should leave and I took him as she took out all her anger on me! I said I am not ever coming back here you don't treat anyone like this! people like this woman need to be fired! I suggest you boycott this business,as I will until something done about this matter! The lady in charge should be immediately fired as if you go here again after reading this, this could happen to you! Too bad because of one rotten apple the other workers will have to suffer senselessly as one human being went there for eating food peacefully and not only did you kill his appetite miss you inhumanely treated his puppy and him like garbage! Who are you to judge another human being miss, God help you and your business, and if you are just another employee or supervisor then apologize to me and remember no business no salary for yiu got it! There are plenty other food dining restaurants in concord/ clayton and it is time as human beings we got together as a community and said enough already you treat him and his dog like feces then you aren't worthy of my hard earned dollars either!

This restaurant has exceeded our expectations!!! We came to Buttercup today (July 29, 2016). We are on our way to My Bachelorette Weekend, and we decided to stop and have breakfast! As we sat down, we had people greet us, and set out our drinks IMMEDIATELY!!! The server realized that I am bride-to-be... And told her manager. To our surprise, he came out with a bottle of champagne... ON THE HOUSE! And he opened it for us, PERSONALLY! That was very awesome. What a great start!! This is my first time here, but my sister-in-law to be, has been here many times-and she loves it! So we highly recommend it!!! The food was awesome. I had the "build your own" omelette!

History

Established in 1988.

David and Debbie Shahvar opened their first restaurant in Walnut Creek, California in 1988. David had extensive restaurant management experience but was tired of working for large corporations. Debbie had also worked in restaurants since she was 15, but was a stay at home mom. At the time David worked for an upscale dinner house. They had a hard time finding a restaurant that offered fresh food, yet was casual enough to bring their children. They dreamed of owning a family style restaurant where they could get fresh home made food at an affordable price. The opportunity arose and they bought their first restaurant on North Main Street in Walnut Creek. From there they expanded into 5 locations in the Bay Area. David has always run the business side of the restaurant while Debbie, with her love of cooking, focuses on the food, recipes and menu development. Today you can find David, Debbie, and their three children working. Buttercup has truly become a family restaurant.

Digger's Diner - Concord

Diggers is a local hidden gem. My barber, a concord native, stated that Diggers Diner had the best…read moreburgers in town. With such a statement, I had to give it a try. I ordered the "20" burger as was the waitresses recommendation since it had a little spice and some garlic in it. I also ordered the garlic cheese fries, which were good but not as good as the burger. Fries: 6/10 burger: 11/10 I was blown away. The atmosphere was giving local gem too. Quaint local vibes, cool spray paint murals, old school quippy signs and classic country American overtones. I will return for your tremendous burge

Our orders were taken in a timely manner. The waitress was nice and helpful. We waited about 15 to 20 mins for our food. We were told that there were issues with the kitchen staff, new staff being trained, etc. Honestly, she stated it was a bad day for them, so we should have been told that prior to ordering so we could have decided to go somewhere else. When the food came, my bacon was burnt (I asked for crispy, not burnt), and my French fries were cold. How does food that takes so long to find out come out cold and wrong? My wife's biscuit was together in the top and broken up on the bottom AND served on a dirty plate. We sent all the above back. He country potatoes had no seasoning on them, and the omelet looked on cooked on the egg portion. The food and cheese that was supposed to be cooked in the inside because it is an omelet was not put together as an omelet. It was like the egg just served as a blanket. She did not eat the majority of her food. This does not happen often. The biscuit was good the 2nd time. My bacon came back the same way, I ate around the burnt areas. The bacon was salty. The manager or owner (I'm unsure of who he was. He did not introduce himself) walked around asking how everything was. I was very honest. He took off 20% from the bill. We will not be going back.

Let me tell you, the portions are large.. so make sure you bring an appetite. We ended up sharing our plates and I think we both agreed that we loved the crispy chicken eggs Benedict most- but they were both really delicious. The chicken was crispy. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The crispy potatoes, even though at first I was a little disappointed there was no hashbrowns, I am so glad! Those potatoes are amazing! The pancakes were pretty delicious as well, but I think the toppings and the caramelized banana bananas on the side were the best part. We also tried two different drinks. A Matcha latte as well as a 'butterfly pea latte'- which I believe was a lavender latte maybe? They were both very beautiful and delicious. The only downside to our experience here was that because it was pretty busy, our service was not as fast as we would like. So we had to ask for a couple of things, after getting the server's attention. Other than that, we had an amazing experience. We will be back to try more things on the menu soon!

For being a place right in front of moving traffic very clean. Now when you want in you are greeted by a server and asked how many in your party and then asks you to sit where ever you want. Which is pretty cool because if you wanted to sit by the window you can. Which is what we did lol. Now for the food when I say wow I mean wow!!!

I'm not going to lie from the service and the food everything was top notch. Every little bit of it was amazing and the music they have goes with the meal you are eating. The steak was juicy not at all dry burgers were the same very juicy. My waffle was a huge most waffle. Now for the moment of truth is this place Dendinger approved??? Yessss queeen this place is a must go to place.

If you blink, you might miss it. Service is still 10/10! This time around, I ordered a hot matcha latte, and honestly, I wasn't expecting much (let's be real, some places can mess up matcha). But surprise, surprise -- it actually tasted like real matcha! It was delicious! For my meal, I tried the cowboy scramble, which I swear was everything but the kitchen sink tossed in a pan. It was hearty, satisfying, and totally hit the spot. The only hiccup? The melted butter they used on the toast had a weird aftertaste. I can't quite explain it -- like if butter went to a weird party and came back a little off. But hey, it didn't ruin the whole meal, just a little side note. All in all, I'm into the new look, and I'll definitely be back for that legit matcha latte and hefty scramble!

Sugar Plum Coffee Shop

I originally went out looking for a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and Googled "good breakfast…read morenear me." This spot came up, and although my wife and I have driven past it many times, we've never stopped in. Today, I decided to finally give it a try. After looking through the Google photos, I changed my mind and ordered a breakfast plate instead of a sandwich. Parking was a little challenging. I arrived around 11:00 a.m. and had to circle the block a few times before finding a spot directly in front of the diner. When I walked in, I wasn't sure whether I should seat myself or wait to be seated. All of the waitresses appeared busy, so I stood near the entrance. Once she was available, Marianna greeted me. Initially, I wasn't a fan of being asked whether I was picking up food rather than whether I was dining in or taking out, but I quickly realized they may be accustomed to regular customers who already know the process. Since it was my first visit, I explained that I wasn't sure if I should seat myself. Personally, I think a sign near the entrance would be helpful for first-time guests. Since I was dining alone, I chose a seat at the counter and ordered the Sugar Plum Special with cheese grits and sourdough toast. While waiting for my food, I noticed something that concerned me. The staff did not appear to be wearing gloves, and I observed food being handled after touching various surfaces, including condiments, plates, glasses, and trash areas. While I understand that food service relies heavily on proper handwashing practices, I personally felt uncomfortable watching bread being handled directly by hand. I requested that my toast be handled with a utensil instead, and my request was accommodated without issue. When my food arrived, my eggs were cooked exactly as requested--scrambled hard--and the bacon was perfectly crispy. The bacon was a little saltier than I personally prefer, but that's more about my taste than the preparation. Overall, both items were flavorful. Now, let's talk about the grits. I come from a strong Southern background, and we take our grits seriously. The presentation was fantastic. The butter melting on top and the cheese looked absolutely perfect. Unfortunately, the texture wasn't there on the first serving. The grits were noticeably gritty and undercooked. After a couple of bites, I sent them back and requested they be cooked a bit longer. One of the waitresses explained that customers typically need to request the grits "well done." That was surprising to me because I've always believed grits should naturally be cooked until smooth and creamy. In my opinion, that's how they're meant to be served. Thankfully, the second batch was much better. While they still could have been stirred a bit more, the texture improved significantly and was much closer to what I expected. I also want to recognize Marianna for her excellent service. She was accommodating, attentive, and handled my concerns professionally throughout the meal. Overall, I would return. The restaurant has a warm, family-oriented atmosphere and an old-school diner feel that is becoming harder to find these days. It reminded me of the kind of place you'd visit after church on a Sunday morning or somewhere you'd go with your grandparents for a comforting home-cooked meal. While there were a few areas that could be improved, the welcoming environment and friendly service left a positive impression on me.

It's very clear that this place is a local favourite here in Concord…read more The ambiance and service are very welcoming. Staff is very friendly and the place has an older school burger place vibe. Staff is also helpful with orders, especially since it's my first time here. I like that they offer 2 menus for vegans and the other for everyone else. This helps for folks who can't eat red meat or meat in general! I ordered a ghost reaper fried chicken slider, beyond roasted chile slider and cajun fries. I also got a side of ranch. The fried chicken slider was delicious. Spicy but not too spicy that it takes away from the flavour of the slider. The plant based slider is extremely tasty. Nice char flavour and it's wonderful since I can't eat beef anymore that this slider tasted this good. Cajun fries are very tasty. They're crispy and very flavourful. The ranch is not the normal ranch at restaurants which I really like. It's not as sweet and is definitely more herbaceous. My only regret is not ordering 3 sliders lol.

I have never came across a place with an omelet with everything I love in an omelet without having to customize it. I literally cleaned my plate. Biscuit and gravy: 10/10 they give you 3 biscuits and gravy on the side. Biscuits were super fluffy and the gravy its self was seasoned perfectly. I always add extra pepper to mine and it was a hit for myself and my husband. Chicken Fried Steak: 10/10 my husband alwayssss gets CFS and he has stated this the best he's had because the gravy was made perfectly. I think to make your CFS taste great, the gravy has to match that energy, and it did! There is sausage in the gravy, but its like bits of sausage smashed down to the perfect bits of sausage with gravy ratio frls. Overall: 10/10 I think if they continue to make their gravy perfectly and the portions enough to make you perfectly full, this place is going to be better than great. We will be coming here and we will be trying everything on their menu.

We were given menus right after being seated and the waitress came back a few minutes later. I'd say service was friendly and the food came out pretty fast. This is what we ordered: * Organic beet salad with ranch dressing, $13 - delicious and refreshing salad with romaine, sliced beets, avocado chunks, grape tomatoes, nuts, sliced red onions, and feta cheese. I chose ranch and thought it paired well with the salad. * Fish and chips, $16.95 - 5 crispy battered cod (tasted like cod to me) pieces with plenty of French fries and a side of tartar sauce and lemon wedges. My mom liked how the batter was thin and crispy. The fish pieces were a little smaller than my hands. * Very berry waffle, $15.95 - soft waffle with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries dusted with powdered sugar and came with syrup on the side. The berries were sweet and the waffle was very tasty with syrup on top. * Sweet potato fries, $5.95 - crispy outside and soft inside. I love sweet potato fries and theirs were delicious. I ate it with ketchup, ranch, hot sauce, and tartar sauce. The portions were pretty big so my mom and I split everything. We ended up taking some fries home. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is because I found a hair in one of the containers of ranch that came with the salad, I thought the fries tasted a bit stale and dry when they were cold, and I wish the waffle came with butter and wish it was a little more crispy. Overall, I did enjoy my lunch here and my mom and I would come back! I'd try one of the omelettes next time.

The giant restaurant logos on the walls were prominently displayed. Their menu featured a wide array of appetizers, soups, bibimbaps, cold and hot noodles, meat dishes, etc. We opted against their signature kalbijjim and instead got three entrée combos (L.A. galbi, spicy pork, and bulgogi). Each entrée came with our choice of tofu soup. Half a dozen banchans were brought to us before the arrival of the entrées. The buchu (chives) and baechu (Napa cabbage) kimchi were excellent. Our food took about 15 minutes to arrive. Portion wise, the tofu soups were of decent size, but the meat entrées were kind of stingy (they were served in small round skillets). I had the seafood tofu soup and it was very good. It was loaded clams, shrimp, and squid. We shared the entrées, and they all tasted great. The only gripe I had was a couple pieces of the galbi had very little meat on them. Service we received was great. Our server was friendly, helpful, and efficient. The total was somewhere around $130 (with a bottle of soju, a tangerine slushy, and a soda). Overall, we all thought the food was good. Return trip very likely. 4 stars.

This place is a cut above the rest - every dish they serve is a flavor-packed delight! A group of friends and I decided to check it out for breakfast, and we were blown away. Our waitress was not only nice and friendly but impressively professional. She took our order, and in just about 12 minutes, our food arrived, brought by the efficient lady manager herself - and mind you, the place was packed with customers. The level of efficiency in a busy restaurant like this is a rare find. Now, let's talk about the food. The portions were generous, the quality was top-notch, and the taste was nothing short of delicious. I opted for the Steak and Eggs, and it was a breakfast dream come true. The hash browns were the perfect sidekick. This place never fails to satisfy on all fronts - be it speed, quality, taste, or quantity. Plus, the prices are reasonable, making it an all-around win. I'm definitely marking this spot for a repeat visit. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates good food and excellent service! read more

I can't say enough good things about this American traditional restaurant! The service was exceptional, with a staff that went above and beyond to make our evening memorable. The food was a mouthwatering delight; the pot roast was tender and flavorful, and the cornbread had the perfect amount of sweetness. The ambiance, with its vintage posters and cozy lighting, set the stage for a wonderful, heartwarming dining experience. read more

I eat at this restaurant at least twice a week. The food is delicious and lots of it for a very reasonable price. They have the best clam chowder on Fridays (real clams not potatoe soup with clam juice). I also really enjoy their fresh salmon dinner. Such a large portion that I take half of it home. The place is very clean and everybody there very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this family friendly restaurant. read more

This place used to be a lot better. The service is still outstanding, the food is plentiful and looks good, but some nights there must be a cook in training in the kitchen. The potato soup, for example, a staple on their menu, varies from out of this world to dishwater in consistency and taste. We will think twice before going again. read more

Every visit to this restaurant feels like a treat! The service is always friendly, and the staff make sure your glass is never empty. The pork ribs were smokey and tender, served with a tangy BBQ sauce that was just perfect. The ambiance was warm, with rustic wood details and vintage touches that made it feel like an old-school diner. read more

In the area for a long weekend and gave this place a try for Sunday brunch. Delightful local spot with great food and even better service. Has a real neighborhood atmosphere as many of the patrons seemed to be regulars known by the servers. If you are in the Concord area , this stop is worth your time. read more

Not sure if they have a new cook, They've remodeled and the place looks nice but my Daniel's Omelette was over cooked and dry. I'll be back another day to try my eggplant veggie sandwich to see how that is ? Hope it was just an off day . Service was great though. Always is . read more

One of our favorite spots for breakfast! Especially since you could still get breakfast here late in the afternoon haha most places close up at 2-3 so we're glad we have a Buttercup in the area! Service and food is always 10/10! read more

I ordered (for delivery) biscuits and sausage gravy.... it was horrible. It order was ice cold and there were like 2 pieces of sausage in the gravy, and too little gravy. The biscuits were too dry as well. read more
