BEST gluten free pancakes in town!!! Every time we come to this place, we are always left with big smiles and full bellies:) all their food, coffee, sides are delicious. The staff are always so friendly, quick service and overall a great experience. I will say there usually is a wait, but it moves rather quickly. My son and I sat at the bar and still had great service. Ambiance is fun, a little louder, and nice patio seating too (with misters). Whether you're inside or outside you'll be sure to have a great meal. read more

I was in Phoenix for a surgery at the Mayo and needed to uber to a close by restaurant for breakfast. We got here and it was packed,the line was deep out the door, we decided to stick it out and man i'm glad we did. They run a fast, fun and smooth business, I was amazed how fast it went. Food was great, so we went back a 2nd time while we were there. I gotta go back to Mayo so I will be coming back to Butters Pancake. If you're at Mayo and need good breakfast look no further. Ps. OJ was great, Paratrooper Jay read more

Enjoyed butters once again. Omelet was cooked to perfection and Eggs Benedict, pancakes, and sour dough bread toast, were excellent. Great service. Larger coffee mugs would be appreciated, too many refills. read more

Still great pancakes and now the reason why the cream always curdles in the coffee has been revealed. They use heavy cream for unknown reasons and that is the reason. read more

The food here was very good. I had the pancakes that are highly recommended and for good reason. A great texture and a large (but not over the top) serving size. I was hoping for a bit more fresh fruit but overall I would order them again. This restaurant is clean and has a good overall vibe including some decent yacht rock music. I enjoyed all of that. The customer service was average. The prices are fair for what you get. The coffee tasted fresh and was refreshed once during our visit. I'd likely come back. read more

Butters Pancakes & Cafe - Mayo Blvd - Blueberry pancakes are definitely a must - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Have been to butters plenty of times but this week was my first visit to this specific location! Went at like 8:45 on a Monday and there was already a bit of a wait but not too bad, it got pretty busy as we were leaving. Our service was good and fast! All of our orders were correct! I got my go-to, the tofu scramble. Since I'm vegetarian and not vegan I added feta too! It definitely benefitted from that little bit of extra flavor to it as it's a tiny bit bland but otherwise good. Pancakes are yummy! My husband got cinnamon roll pancakes and really liked them. My dad got oatmeal and my mom got an omelette. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food! My son enjoyed some pancake, banana, and bacon! It's clean in here too. Nice spot for breakfast/brunch! read more

Surprisingly busy on a Wednesday morning. But, not bad. The food was great!! I had a skillet. Would have preferred my hash browns to be a little more done but that can happen when things are busy. Anyway, really great service and the granola pancakes were the best!! The wife got some kind of protein patty. Very good, too!! But the pancakes are worth a special trip. read more

Butters is an institution around here. And you can never go wrong with breakfast. Get there early because you will most likely be waiting any day of the week. We love it for group outings. Because the menu is large enough to accommodate all different taste buds from those who want super sweet indulgent, all the way to those of us who want. A nice savory start to the day. Two things I always get is a large glass of fresh squeeze, orange juice and a side of the chicken sausage. read more

I came here Sunday 3/22/26 and my friend put us on the waitlist for 11 am. We had a predicted wait time of about 30 minutes to an hour and we waited well over an hour. We were seated past 12 pm. There was a long line of parties waiting. Expect to be waiting outdoors. My group was showing as #1 on the waitlist, but multiple smaller groups were being called in before us. I had a group of 7 people. I've never had luck getting indoor seating. Luckily, there's a misting fan outside so you can't feel the heat as much. Seating is a little on the tighter side between tables. The food here is a testament to why people are willing to wait quite a long time in the blazing heat of AZ. Their signature pancakes always leave a memory in my mouth. I love their strawberry banana smoothie, it just doesn't taste like anywhere else. It's so refreshing on a hot day. Their portions are larger in size so pricing is worth it. Our server gave us enough time to enjoy our food. With my last experience, my table barely got our food and the server was already giving us the receipt and told us to take our time, but would constantly check on if we were ready to pay. I don't feel fully comfortable here or that I can take my time, but I still keep coming back because of the food. read more

We ordered two of the pancakes and they were so good! Honestly, they didn't even need syrup or anything on top -- they were that flavorful on their own. The place was packed even on a Thursday during the daytime, which says a lot about how good it is. Definitely worth it though, and I would absolutely order the pancakes again! read more

Been there twice in the past three weeks. Debut I went with their buttermilk pancakes. Topped it with cinnamon apples. Every5ying was fresh and I loved they had whipped butter and the syrup was heated. When I needed extra they did it. I sat in a table. I mention this because they bring every table a full pitcher of water. While appreciative, it can be a waste of this precious commodity because not everyone drinks an entire pitcher even with multi humans and not everyone asks for or seeks water. I was surprised they do not sell an impossible sausage patty for us vegan folks or flexitarian as it would of hit it out of the park. The second time me and the spouse sat on the counter. This time it was a glass of water again a nice touch but they should ask if you want it. Plus add ice to it. Who wants water sans ice? I went with their veggie omelette with egg whites. Another $1 extra for them to do this. Seriously you believe this increases your profit margin? Here's an idea go through your entire menu and strip out the things nobody eats. Tada, better profit margins and sales. Anyway it was good, I ate barely a quarter of the omelette, it's too massive to eat in one setting. Killed the cheese. They are great for modifications and service I did the fresh squeezed OJ whixh was good but I got a small glass. Regardless tasty. If you just do the buttermilk pancakes which they will have powdered sugar on them, the price point is 11.50 before modifications. The omelette will set you back 17.50. I recommend getting their no later than 7.30 am during the week if you want to get a table. The weekends? They get slammed and while they move fast, go counter if you can. And tip these folks a good amount. Trust me, they earn it. read more

There's something incredible about a waffle topped with vibrant strawberries and warm syrup. This one from Butter Pancakes & Cafe delivered pure breakfast joy. See my photo! A customer next to us had an order of grits. They looked so delicious that I added a side midway through breakfast, and our waitress quickly accommodated. If cozy came in a bowl, that's how I'd describe them. They were warm, soothing, and the perfect salty counterbalance to a sweet waffle. There's always a wait at Butters, but it's worth every minute. The service is speedy. The wait staff is efficient, but friendly. This is a bustling, loud breakfast spot that I will choose again and again! read more

The average experience for our party of 7 was 4 stars. Solid breakfast restaurant. Good food. Service was friendly. We were sat and served quickly and refills were plentiful. We ate on the patio which would not be my first choice but once the misters got going, it was perfect. The food was good...like no complaints but also no major standouts (although one of our party ordered the huevos rancheros and said it was slammin). Everyone else got pancakes, skillets, biscuits & gravy, and avocado toast. All good. This is a good, safe option. We would likely return the next time we are in town. read more

It is as good as a breakfast place can get. The location is always very clean, very stylish, and the service is always on point. It's the food though. I gave never gad a bad dish here, they gave always been excellent. You simply cannot go wrong with butters. Note many if the pancake/waffle/french toast dishes could easily double as a dessert. read more

Second time back to Butter's. I went a little late on a Saturday morning and ended up waiting for 30 mins but it's worth it! Their reservation system syncs with Yelp so you can see how long and what position in the line you are. I really like that feature. I had coffee which was pretty good considering it was just drip coffee. For breakfast it's so hard to decide because the menu is so extensive! Both my dad and I had skillets because there is a little bit of everything, eggs, hash browns, cheese, veggies, meat. Plus you can get a pancake or toast. Their pancakes are so delicious. I got the Santa Fe without chorizo and pancakes of course. My dad got the bacon, mushroom and onion skillet. Both of us opted for pancakes because duh they are so good. Service was fantastic and attentive. It is really loud in there though but it's because it's so busy!! There are so many more options on the mini so I'll definitely be back. read more

Just adore this place. Every location I've been is always exceptional; the food to notch, the service A+ & efficiency is so impressive. Today we came in after an appointment thinking midweek it shouldn't be too busy.... WRONG! This place is so good it's always busy, the wait is not bad at all due to their efficient team, the way they work to clear tables is awesome. Ordered the (favorite) Baked Potato Omlete, side of fruit with the cinnamon swirl pancakes option. I have never eaten here without ordering the cinnamon swirl pancakes as a side one way or another. Audrey, was our server today..... I cannot say enough about Audrey.. The servers are great everytime, regardless of location, but today! Audrey set the tone.... Greeted with a beautiful smile, inviting personality, a dash of wit & exceptional service. If I can only have Audrey as my server reach time, I would only visit this location. Thanks for the great food & wonderful service. read more

We've visited Butterfields on Shea, Butters on Raintree and Butters on Mayo and the food has been fantastic every time. What do you call someone who always orders the same thing? I'm not sure--but that's definitely me. I always get the Swedish Pancakes with a side of bacon. It's my go-to order and it never disappoints. Others I've dined with have tried the French toast, crepes, and different pancakes, and they've all raved about their meals as well. I'm giving four stars instead of five because the portions seem to have gotten a bit smaller over time--though they're still more than I can finish. My favorite location is the one at Mayo and Scottsdale Road because of the large outdoor patio. It's a great place to enjoy breakfast when the weather is nice. Definitely worth a visit! read more

We visited this spot as we had a coworker that was taken on in new journey in life. We had a larger group so we got our name on the list and wait time was about an hour. It was a bit disappointing, realizing there were no mimosas on the menu, but nonetheless, I ordered the baked potato omelette with a side of pancakes and grits. I really enjoyed the grits and the pancakes were good as well. The omelette was a little dry, but had somewhat of the baked potato flavor. So it's actually an omelette just with baked potato fixings in the middle and creama drizzled over the top. The waiters were friendly. read more

This is the breakfast spot you were looking for. They were busy but we never waited long to be sat or get food, never felt rushed and had great food. The cheesy grits!?!? It's a MUST. The scrambles are SO fluffy.. how do they do that? The orange juice? You are making a mistake by not getting any. read more

Our table was dirty, our server rarely came back to the table, and never refilled our coffee or water with a new carafe. I had to get a new one on my own. Our server acted like they were too busy to care about checking in at our table. The cold brew tasted bitter and the cream curdled in my glass. read more

After the second visit, I can say: Five Stars. Great coffee. Omelets are delish. Spinach & Swiss crepes with hollandaise sauce very very good. Lox and eggs scramble, really good. It's a wee pricey ($4 for toast? C'mon) but top preparation, from scratch. Downsides: A bit noisy; lots of foot traffic. Comfy not deluxe seating. Upsides: Indoor and heated patio seating. Very good coffee, good and thoughtful detailed service-- they earn every dime. Huge menu, including brunch favorites. Many vegetarian but vegan might be tough. Taste is great. Get there early; lines form. Could be useful for small meetings, but the noise and logistics might be tough. Plentiful parking. We got there early and feasted, fueled well for the day. Recommended. read more

My wife actually treated me to Butters because she had been before and kept telling me I needed to try it. She was right. We went on Presidents Day, so it was packed -- about a 35-minute wait -- which honestly tells you something right there. But the good part is there's plenty to do nearby, so the time flew by. We walked over and shopped at Hobby Lobby while we waited, which made it feel like no wait at all. Once we were seated, the service was attentive and quick. Even with a full house, the staff stayed on top of everything. Drinks came out fast, food didn't take long, and our server checked in just enough without hovering. You could tell they were busy, but they handled it smoothly and professionally. I ordered the All Hog Skillet with pancakes on the side and a fresh-squeezed orange juice. The skillet was loaded -- sausage, bacon, ham, eggs, and crispy potatoes -- hearty and flavorful without being greasy. The pancakes were soft, fluffy, and golden, exactly what you want from a place that specializes in them. And that fresh-squeezed orange juice? Bright, refreshing, and the perfect balance to the savory meal. Overall, it was a great experience -- good food, efficient service, and a nice little Presidents Day outing with my wife. She definitely put me on to a solid breakfast spot. Rating: 9/10 -- We'll be back. read more

I love butters! It never disappoints. I have been to all three locations and one thing that they all have is consistency. Regardless of the location, the food is the same. The pancakes are delicious, the omelettes are amazing and fluffy, the French toast dip is delicious and the Nutella French toast was amazing, sweet but not too sweet with no syrup needed. It was a busy morning but we were sat in less time than quoted and our server was really nice. It's definitely a busy and popular spot but a must try! read more

I am so happy we were in the neighborhood today! Always looking for a new place to eat and we found another one. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar for seating. There was a short wait, but it is Sunday an hour before close. We were seated within the window time and greeted by Marcy, our server. The menu is large and organized very aesthetically. The food-Oh my. Delicious. Bacon Mushroom Onion scramble with caramel apple pecan pancakes. Uhhhmazing! Props to this new favorite restaurant of mine. Ask for Marcy if you visit! She went above and beyond. Yes, those are not the pancakes I ordered. Marcy was kind enough to get this appetizing plate pic for me! read more
