Batter and Berries is 100% worth a visit. We went for brunch, had looked at the menu in advance and all pretty much decided what we were having until we arrived and our server Tim went through the specials - Wow! The food and all...the team here are awesome thank you so much for your hospitality.More

Chicken fajita omelets was very disappointing. I knew it said deconstructed but I wasn't expect completely dry. This is the absolute only item I would NOT RECOMMEND. Some kind of sauce matters. I think it should just be taken off the menu. I can't see...how to improve it? Maybe a fajita type sauce...maybe smaller pieces of Vegetables? Maybe the chicken chopped smaller?....More

first time visitors(From GA) and food was lacking. I was told drunken chicken was a special with deglaze bourbon Bbq sauce.. please stop telling customers that due to it's an off putting cheap BBQ sauce that I wouldn't recommend putting on any food. Shame on...them to charge $21.00. And that sweet potato waffle and chicken with was double fried which wasn't requested. I'll pass on that as well. Don't believe the hype the menu changes often from what's being told to customers so don't be surprised if visit.More

I'm so glad we went for breakfast here! Looking at pictures before, we weren't sure, but it was all much better. I had the french toast flight and my wife had salmon bennies. So good! Highly recommend!

Don’t walk…run here!! We visit the city of Chicago often but never took the time to try this place out while in town. Batteries and Berries exceeded my expectations. The wait wasn’t long at all due to adding our name to the waitlist ahead of...time. They’re known for their French toast sticks, and I see why. It was literally the most amazing French toast I’ve ever tried in my 41 years of life. Our waitress was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable as well. They don’t serve alcohol but it is BYOB which is an even cheaper option! It’s also black owned, which makes me even more inclined to support. I’m telling anyone who’s willing to listen about this place in the future. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town.More

My family visited at the recommendation of my sister in law and we were not disappointed! I had the chicken and waffles. My son had the French toast special and my husband had the salmon special! Everything was superb! There is usually a wait so...be prepared! The server was genuine and attentive! One of the managers talked with us for a while! Very customer oriented and friendly! We will be back! 10/10 recommend!More

Batter & Berries was the best meal we had while we visited Chicago. I'm so glad we went. I'm still dreaming about it. You can't miss it. It's a short walk off the Diversey train stop in Lincoln Park, just off the brown line. There...menu is amazing, I wish I lived closer so I could go back and try more of their dishes.More

The service was good, the server very friendly, we ask for 2 oat milk cappuccinos, they’re with no coffee flavor, only milk. We asked for an extra espresso shot, it wasn’t a espresso flavor. They charged in a total of $16 for the cappuccino and...we can’t drink it. Horrible flavor. The Lemon French Toast were very good.More

Food was delicious I had the apple cinnamon waffle I thought the price was high for 5 slices of apple and one large Belgian waffle. The food everybody else had was huge and the price seemed right.

If you are blessed enough to be serviced by Twoseme (Two-See-Me) Jackson, you are in for the time of your life. He is FULL of life & riddles. He is "anointed" to Welcome and Serve! As fast as he can talk, he listens to WHO...you are and makes amazing suggestions accordingly. Great Service is icing on the cake, the cake is the phenomal food. It is simple with a twist. They always have super specials that include savory surf and seafoods: lobster, shrimp, short ribs, etc. We chose the standards, that flavor wise are anything but standard, they're superb: Large pillowy Buckwheat pancakes. They have that nutty deliciousness without the heaviness that can sometimes accompany. They were topped with Blueberries and Strawberries and delicious Maple Butter, which I believe is also in the batter. The Flight of French Toast is a RICH medley of goodness, topped with fruits, nuts, zest a luxuriously whipped scoop of cloudlike butter. The bacon is thick cut and crisp. The Chicken Sausage is homemade. The eggs are fluffy and can have a bevy of cheeses if desired. We also requested the super flavor packed Garlic Hot Sauce, which they should bottle (with real chunks of minced garlic.) It is a BYOB but plenty of juices. We had straight Cranberry & a thick mix of Cranberry and Pineapple. Parking is street parking. Join the waiting list immediately. Bathrooms are CLEAN! We do not easily give 5-stars but two Chi Town restaurants DESERVE all-star kudos, Batter & Berries is defined one of them (the other is Virtue)!More

They have some pretty awesome omelette options that are gluten free. They also often have specials that are pretty clean as well.
