Huge fan of Butterfield's. This is a great noisy, busy breakfast spot. Despite the fact that they are always busy, I've never had to wait a long time to be seated, to have a waitress come to the table, or for the food to be prepared. Menu is the standard stuff but they do it well. Kids and families are very welcome as you'd expect at a breakfast spot like this. My kids are always happy to walk out with a balloon and sucker. Small things like that make a difference. If you give it a try, I recommend the strawberry cheesecake french toast. read more

I can't think of a better breakfast place in Naperville. They have fresh squeezed orange juice too. The steak and eggs are my favorite. They seat you pretty quickly considering how many people show up, especially on the weekends. read more

The food and service here is excellent- of course there are many similarities between this breakfast/lunch place and the next but what remains true is that some places will impress you and some are less memorable. Butterflieds just does it right. Had a custom omelette that was jam packed with ingredients and the coffee is delicious- another important aspect. My server, Laura, was as knowledgeable and helpful as she was personable and kind. I will certainly be back soon! read more

I love the skillet in this place. Specifically the farmers. It has all fresh ingredients not precooked. It is ten minutes away from my work but worth the drive twice a week for breakfast read more

I love the atmosphere and they have a wonderful veggie scrambler. Good service, too! (The coffee is strong, if you like that.). Lastly they treat all the customers with respect, which I admire. read more

Excellent breakfasts we ordered a skillet and French toast. No complaints and portions were large.

Delicious blueberry pancakes! Overall enjoyable visit and good value for the price. I should note that this place is indeed just as loud as other reviews have pointed out... the outdoor seating seemed only decorative. My girlfriend and I also wondered why the OJ tasted so sweet... almost too sweet. Recommended. read more

Mediocre breakfast with an extremely loud setting. Id go elsewhere

The was good I had breakfast everything I had was good. The price was a bit on the higher end. The restaurant itself was large and nice. The service was quick food was fresh. read more

When visiting our son in Naperville, we come to Butterfield's for breakfast. We really enjoy it. The service is great, quick and consistently good. We have tried a variety of menu items and it is all good. It is noisy, but we come here every time. There can be a wait depending on time of day. read more

I've been here for breakfast twice, both during non-peak times... during PEAK times it gets a little crazy crowded. They have a decent sized menu for lunch/brunch so lots to choose from! I'm pretty sure I got the same california scrambler breakfast both times, that's ok though it was good and I guess memorable. My last visit with my mom was on a Friday after the morning rush...our server was alright, though she never did come back and ask if we needed anything more or if anything was ok? Servers work on tips and they should really at least check back up on their customers eating, especially to see if they want anything else. I will still come by here when I'm in the mood for going out for breakfast or brunch as the food is good, and again...plenty to choose from. read more

Wonderful food! I went out with my girlfriend and we had an awesome time. I am a big eater and the skillet filled me up to a comfortable level. Coffee was constantly filled by the waitress and complimented the breakfast really well. Would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonably priced meal that is very filling. read more

Great service and amazing food!!! Favorite place to go eat omelettes!!!

I went this weekend for my daughter's birthday it was very busy but they were able to accommodate us we had a blast ! good food good service my server was amazing personal I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

One suggestion, you gotta go there early on the weekend to avoid the crowds. The food is great and fast ...can't wait to go back to get more pancakes this weekend read more

I've never eaten lunch here so I can only comment on the breakfast but it never fails to be delicious! I've ordered several things including pancakes, waffles, and omelets. Most recently, I got the New Mexico skillet with bacon instead of chorizo and it was excellent. The food came out fast and piping hot. The waitress was insanely friendly and checked in numerous times to refill our drinks and to ask how the food was. It can get a bit crazy on the weekends and their is usually a wait. However, the restaurant has a lot of seating so it's not typically more than 20 minutes. Lots of families come here so if kids aren't your scene I would skip it. Overall, really great food and nice people. read more

Service was not friendly. So many better places to eat in Naperville. You can get better food and service elsewhere.

This is such a great restaurant! Everyone is always friendly and even though it's always busy it seems that they are constantly seating people so you don't wait long at all to be seated. The food is wonderful. I love their bacon and onion skillet. It's so delicious. read more

How can you screw up a tuna sand. They can. Noooooo flavor at all, very dry. Had a bowl of northern bean soup. Terrible, more like tomatoe soup with veggies with a fishy after taste. Will not be back. read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a Wednesday morning. Ordered ham & cheese omelete with pancakes (my base judge on how good a place is). The omelete was light and fluffy but cheese was scarce. Ordered crispy hash browns which came pale with a few brown piece which turned out to be hard. Pancakes were the biggest disappointment! It's a pancake house and the pancakes came out with a hard crust on the exterior. The surface actually cracked when I put butter one them. It is a shame because they had a great flavor and the insides were fluffy. The syrup is just ordinary table syrup not really maple syrup. I also had to ask for refills on coffee (a major sin). I had such high hopes for this place as it is also crowded whenever I pass by. Unfortunately I don't think I will be back. read more

Great breakfast and brunch spot. Was a bit busy when I went but was seated and helped promptly. I ordered a stack of pancakes and a small drink. The pancakes were big, fluffy, hot, and very delicious. I would recommend this location for others who are looking for a good and quick breakfast spot. read more

This place is so cute, you go in through a revolving door and right into a large dining room. Very family! The place was pretty crowded and loud so I wouldn't come here expecting a quiet breakfast for a morning date with your sweetie. I ordered the garden veggie omelette with hash browns and pancakes! It was delicious! The pancakes unfortunately didn't make the cut. They were burnt on the bottom and I didn't have a taste to wait for a new batch( it was hard to get the burnt taste out of my mouth) so I just got an English muffin and it was a good one. The server didn't apologize about the burnt pancake but quickly replaced it with the muffin. So I'm not going to be too hard on that. I wasn't a fan of the lemony water that automatically comes to the table, I really should have said something but I sucked it up. My experience doesn't feel worthy of a return considering I live in Atlanta and this is in Naperville but I would recommend if you are looking to have a yummy omelette or scrambler. Three stars because I figured a pancake house should really take pride in their pancake and not serve a burnt one. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it! read more

See all

**WARNING** THINK TWICE BEFORE PAYING FOR POOR SERVICE ! I honestly can't see how some folks are rating Butterfield's with (4) let alone (5) stars. There are too many things wrong with this place. 1. The hostesses and girls at the front desk have ATTITUDES. They don't greet you or acknowledge your presence. When you pay, they don't bother to say thank you. It's just "give me your money and begone with you". 2. The Owner and/or Manager is just as numb to the patrons. No welcome, no "thank you for coming"... It's "follow me" or "this way", walk over to a table and he throws the menus down and walks quickly away... where's the "enjoy your food"? 3. Wait staff is hit or miss. Some care to chat, others want you out as quickly as you sat down. I guess when you know you're the only breakfast restaurant around the area, you can treat the Customers like *sh!t*. No worries, they'll be others to take there seat. I swore I wouldn't head back after walking out the last time they tried sitting us down. Thought I could avoid the sarcasm and the ill treatment by ordering "to go", but alas same ole *sh!tty* attitude. read more

Yesterday my daughter ordered a breakfast skillet with chicken in it. Halfway through she realized the chicken was raw. They did the right thing and did not charge for the dish however today she is sick. read more

I was in the area and craving some breakfast food so i stopped for my late lunch. The service was quick and friendly, the food delicious. The fresh squeezed orange juice was all goodness - sweet with just a bit of tartness. The taffy apple french toast was incredible. It isn't as sweet as it sounds which is a good thing in my opinion. It is expertly prepared french toast that is stuffed with marscapone cheese and sprinkled with some nuts, apples, and caramel. It is like having a delicious dessert for a meal. I also had the corned beef hash skillet. This was good as well. Lots of hash browns, cheese, onions, and green peppers. I would prefer the hash browns cooked crispier, but I did like that they were not greasy. The skillet came with some eggs. I had mine over easy along with pancakes. Glad to see this pancake house is using real maple syrup and not some fake sugar water. read more

The pancakes were so good!! I wana say better than Cracker Barrel but that might be blasphemy! It had this cake flavor but super tender. I didn't think I was gonna eat them all but I did. I also had a skillet. It was good but way too much going on in one bowl for me (sounded better than it tasted) but the coffee is delicious - again giving DD a fun for the money and like everyone said - the juice is phenomenal. Decided to kick in another star because the service was excellent too' read more

We tried Butterfield's for the first time yesterday...never again. We had a 10:30 reservation, arrived at 10:20 to be on time. We were finally seated at 11:40. We shouldn't have waited, but they lied and kept telling us we were 'next'. It took 15 minutes to get water, another 15 to get a waitress, who took our coffee and food order at the same time. 20 minutes later out came half our food, still no coffee. 15 minutes later the rest of us got to eat. Half our food was burnt. All of the hash browns were burnt, as was all of the toast. Finally got coffee as we were ready to go. Oops, almost forgot to mention, they have open style ceilings, like a warehouse, it's so blasted loud in there, you can't hear your table mates talk. Never again. read more

Well let me begin by saying that this place is huge and the service is awfully poor. We sat here for almost 20 mins one blonde server passed by us three times forth time I asked her if there will be anybody coming here we need menu so we could order he had such absurd expression on her face that words can't explain. So we finally got lucky got the menu than there wS this young server number 7 she came took our order with not too much of a delay we were served the food I couldnot imagine how bland everything was Mexican burrito was made for toddlers. And panini had more artichoke than chicken so it was way to sour for my taste. Bill was almost served few mins after they put food on our table We end up consuming some food nobody came around and i was in need of some box so I could pack the leftovers l I. Vain went up there asking for a box I was given a box but very rudely. Bottom line is I am never coming back to this place ever again. read more

Our breakfast at Butterfields was not very enjoyable. The food was just passable. We had to send one entree back. Service was poor. Our table didn't have water or syrup as did all the other tables around us. Our server never noticed. read more

What a horrid experience. Went on a Saturday morning and encountered the expected wait of approximately 15 minutes. The service was terrible, the waitress got my wife's and my order wrong. Very poor on refilling our coffee, and don't ask for anything not on the table (such as extra napkins) unless you ask multiple wait staff numerous times. Don't even try their pancakes. They claim it is their special pancake recipe; they should throw that recipe out and buy a box of Bisquick - hard and tasteless. And did I mention the service was horrible? At least the extremely elevated noise level distracted me from this disgusting experience. read more

Ordered over easy eggs and the yolk was cooked all the way through for a $16 skillet. Disappointed.

I've been hesitant to write this review for some weeks now. I've never been so in disagreement with other Yelpers until my breakfast at Butterfield's. After all the fantastic reviews, I expected a great breakfast. My experience could not have been farther from my expectations; in fact, it was horrible. My fiance and I went on a Sunday morning. I expected it to be busy and that was hardly the problem. We were actually seated within 3-4 minutes. The waitstaff, we were visited by several different individuals, were icy and completely withdrawn. My fiance ordered the Crab Cake Benedict with grits on the side and I ordered some kind of Salmon Scrambler with hashbrowns and sourdough toast. The food was abysmal and honestly nearly inedible. My fiance's crab cakes were nothing more than a bread crumb cake that made frozen fish sticks look delicious with eggs that were over-hard and not poached. His grits were the color combination of yellow #5 and nacho cheese. My scrambler was no better. Eggs were palatable but the hash browns were white and cold in the center much like the toast. What minimal cooking that was done to our food was highlighted by a nice long stay under a heat lamp. I would have been embarrassed to send that out of my kitchen. Our server was no where to be found and honestly, I'm not one to return a meal and complain. I just tell others and don't return. We picked gingerly at our "meal", paid the bill when did it arrive and left. I wanted to grab the customers in the parking lot on our way out and convince them to get back into their cars and go to the McDonald's next door instead. Maybe they had an "off day". I'm sorry to say, it was so off that we just simply cannot risk giving Butterfield's another chance. I highly recommend reconsidering a visit to this establishment. read more

We noticed that you can really TASTE the ingredients in their dishes. The ham jumps out of the omelet and the skillet dishes, as does the cheese. The pancakes were the best we've had in the Naperville area to date. These folks give Egg Harbor Cafe a run for their money for best breakfast in Naperville until proven otherwise. read more

Can be REALLLLY busy. Best pancakes around. Also really good bacon. They do breakfast really well but have a huge menu.

The bacon waffle, syrup and pancakes are some of the best I've ever had. It does get rather crowded and loud here, but the atmosphere and restaurant are still enjoyable. read more

Butterfields is a very good breakfast pancake house. Me and my wife stopped into Butterfields on a very busy Saturday morning the lot was jam packed with cars and we were unsure how long the wait wad going to be to be seated. Luckily there were a couple tables open and we were seated immediately. My wife said nice place a bit noisy because its so busy but very nice. As we perused the expansive menu she ordered a goat cheese and spinach omelette and I ordered the HMOP skillet with fresh O.J. I couldn't believe how quickly our orders were up 5 minutes tops and exactly as we ordered. The O J. was delicious but a bit pricey. But the meals were great I'd recommend the HMOP to anyone that loves Ham mushrooms and peppers. On the way out I see this lady putting boxes of fresh Oranges into a squeezing machine that you can actually watch it being made no wonder the O.J. was a little pricey but they go through boxes of oranges daily and have a lady that does that the whole time she's there . Talk about freshly squeezed OJ and it says on the wall over a million oranges squeezed talk about busy and fresh! Butterfields you won me over with good food fresh OJ the fastest service and yummy pancakes. A full 5 stars and I'll be back again soon!!! read more

The food is decent, the staff is so so. However they need to spruce up their overall concept. Sometimes when you offer a wide variety of food, you loose the quality of food you serve. With such simple menu items as raisin bread, I would imagine that it shouldn't be hard to keep that item fresh. Unfortunately, mine was molded. I've been to this restaurant many times. However I have noticed a recent decline in service & overall quality. Maybe I will drive an extra ten minutes to Wheaton for breakfast. read more

Have only done takeout from here so can't comment on a dining in experience. I can say that our food is always packaged nicely, with all the condiments we would need, including jam, syrup, ketchup, and butter, included in a separate bag. My fave dish has to be the taffy apple French toast. Soooo good. Their portions are huge, so great to share. I also like their salmon scrambler. So yummy. read more

The restaurant had pretty fast service, the server was very patient and helpful with our two toddlers, offering boosters and bringing their food quickly. The kids menu was very reasonably priced for the amount of food. Unfortunately after I got home I got very sick for several hours, possibly some small form of food poisoning (I had a veggie omelet with hash browns and pancakes, took the pancakes home). I was excited about how many veggies were in the omelet, but something must have been expired or just not cooked thoroughly. I wanted to give this place at least 4 stars, but then I got sick. read more

My server at Butterfield's didn't bat an eye a while back when I ordered an egg white omelet with about four types of veggies and no cheese. They also have fruit (and GOOD fruit) to replace the hash browns. Additionally, the menu is vast and full of many dishes that look delicious but I'm generally too scared to order in front of my parents. (Yes, I'm 28 years old... but we are a healthy bunch that succumb easily to 'peer' pressure). Despite breakfast food being generally easy to do well, Butterfields stands above others because of their proficiency at customization, vast menu, friendliness, cleanliness, and efficiency. read more
