Yelp webpage for Buttercup
We stopped there for breakfast and found the place very charming. Many old-time trinkets adorn the walls and their bakery display was crazy. Pies, cakes, apple turnovers - all mouth-watering. (I didn't get a picture to show you, dear readers, but please take my word for it. Or check out the pics on Yelp.) You can wait to be seated or eat at the counter like we did. That way you can watch the cooks do their thing.
They have old vending machines in the lobby and fun signs all around from days gone by. A big plus for kids and cultural historians. You get a real sense of an country store at this place. Let's see if their food is a good as the decor.
She wanted biscuits and gravy and they came with sausage patties, eggs and potatoes ($9.89). She switched the taters for fresh sliced to'maters. She liked the thick, creamy gravy, but the sausage was sort of plain. That is a crime in the world of sausage! At least the portions were generous.
I ordered the Ham and Eggs ($10.95) and kept the home fries and biscuits & gravy. I was thinking the ham would be diced, but I got a ham steak as you can see. Not disappointed! It was flavorful and slightly salty, but not too much. Just right with the savory, fried potatoes and eggs. The coffee was strong and hot and the servers were friendly.
Breakfast was good! Next time, we will come by later to enjoy their massive salad and soup bar. And maybe some dessert too! It's very close to the freeway exit and is worth a stop. So much better than Denny's!
