buttermilk cafe

first time to go eat in the evening. absolutely loved it. the service was great, every single one of the waitresses were friendly and fun. the jalapeno grilled pork chop was outstanding. will definately gobackin for dinner again.

while this restaurant may not look fancy nor does it have fancy food, it routinely has some of the best service and straight forward food of any place in hurst, euless and bedford.

i would rank the food a solid 3.5 - 4 as i've had better food however buttermilk cafe consistently delivers above average home cooked meals that for the price, really can't be beat.  breakfast is a favorite of ours (along with most the area) and we make every attempt to eat there at least twice a week in the morning and end up eating several times a week for dinner.

the bakery items are fantastic and some of the best i've had.  their cinnamon roles are to die for and every desert we've had is better than most in the area.

the service is what makes buttermilk cafe really shine and also keeps us comingback(along with the food and price) multiple times a week.  it's fast, friendly and i've never had a bad experience with take out or dine in.  about the worst i can say about the place is that it's regularly packed in the morning and the bathrooms are tiny.  aside from that, it's quickly become a favorite of ours the second we moved to this area.

delicious food,big portions,the food cames out fast and the texas shaped waffle is big and awsome

i'll gobackagain

great food, low prices. i recently movedbackto the area and this has become my favorite local restaurant. this place has always served good food. years ago it used to be a sizzler and had the best burgers. now the buttermilk cafe continues the tradition and serves excellent burgers on homemade buns.

their daily specials is full of choices and will fill you up. i have yet to have a bad meal here.

however, my one criticism is the wait staff. they are very friendly, but they are easily distracted and frequently mess up orders. for example, you know you're in trouble when the waitress takes your order and that of the table next to you. this happened to us a few days ago and not only did the next table get their order first, part of my order was messed up and missing.

there are some places where the waitstaff are friendly, efficient, and can take orders correctly--and if they are really good, they can do it without writing it down. unfortunately, the waitstaff at buttermilk cafe are below average in every area except friendliness.

half & half - half good half bad. we tried buttermilk cafe again after saying "never again" after our last visit. the reason we decided to try it was after seeing a steady crown there. this time, my husband had a burger & fries. he said the burger was very good but they brought him chips and then later brought the fries. i had the reuben sandwich w/fries. the fries were great. the reuben wan not. the meat was more like jerky than thinly sliced meat. you could look at it and tell that something was wrong. in fact, it was the waitress who called it jerky. i filled up on fries so the waitress suggested that i try a piece of pie since the sandwich was not edible. she was very nice and did bring a piece of pie. when i went to pay our bill, the owner/manager looked at the ticked and yelled at the waitress for not putting the pie on the bill. even when i explained how bad the sandwich was, she was still very angry and voiced it not only to me but by yelling across the room to the waitress who, in my opinion, had tried to satisfy a customer who was served bad food. the owner/manager was only interested in the bottom line and did not seem to care about the bad sandwich. very unprofessional!!!

i am not sure if we will try it again due to the treatment by management.

so wanted arlington to be better. i so wanted the arlington location to be better! we were in arlington on 05/25 and when we saw the restaurant, we circledbackreally hoping that it was better than the hurst location. i ordered a reuben sandwich and onion rings which should not be a problem. the waitress took the order and brought complimentary soup which was listed as chicken gumbo. the soup was okay but not gumbo - only chicken & rice - a lot of rice but had a good flavor. i managed to get 2 bites of soup down before she showed up with the sandwich & onion rings. the sandwich is advertised as being on marbled rye - not served that way. the saurkraut was not drained so the sandwich was mushy. the onion rings were prepared so fast that the inside of the batter and the onions were not cooked. the outside appeared crisp until you tried to pick them up. they fell apart because they were not done. i ate less than half of the mushy sandwich and left all of the rings. my husband had a sandwich & fried that he said the fries were not done. he had coffee which was good and i had water. to pay over $20 for uncooked food does not leave me with a good feeling at all and we will not bebackto this restaurant. i did voice my disappointment & was told "i'm sorry and i will pass this on to the kitchen."

if momma wasn't a good cook.... if your momma wasn't a good cook you might like this...but, mine was and this is just average or less in quality and taste. last night i had their chicken fried steak which they advertise as "voted best". i would like to know who is doing all of this voting. i live in the area and have never heard of a chicken fried steak contest and there are other restaurants in the area that make better chicken fried steak. it was just okay in taste and was tender but not as tasty as some others. i also had mashed potatoes and green beans. the green beans were the worst i have ever had and could not even eat them. my husband said he could smell them across the table and nearly jumped out of his chair when i suggested that he try them. the potatoes are real mashed but have no seasoning whatsoever and also have no taste. they are not creamy and appear dry and crumble when you cry to get a bite. the rolls and cornbread had been reheated in the microwave and would not even melt butter.

they do have cakes and pies in their cooler but they all looked like they had been there for quite some time so i didn't have the courage to even try those.

i'm afraid i won't be rushingbackto try them again any time soon.

all food great here !!!!!!!!!!!!. service, & food is great. they have daily lunch specials, & everything taste's like its made from scratch. we had the chicken fried chicken, & chicken fried steak which were fantastic. good gravy, and crispy batter on both plates. orders were not alot of dough either. portions were large, & fresh made rolls/cornbread comes with the meals. for a free appetizer we received a bowl of chicken with white rice soup. pie's and cakes are made fresh daily and can be ordered. the buttermilk, and blueberry sliced pies were out of this world. also the triple decker turkey, ham, cheese , & bacon club sandwich looked great with soup, on the next table to us. they also accept the star-telegram press pass for a 20% discount. we will bebackfor sure for breakfast , lunch, or dinner.

3 strikes and your out !!. my wife and i wentbackfor our 4th time this morning..our 1st time everything was great..the last 3 times the orders have been so screwed up it made our breakfast experience a disaster.. i always give a restaurant a 2nd & 3rd chance.(i do punish myself at doing this, i know).this one just got my last..
this time as the 2 times before, the 'over easy' eggs were 'over well' (more like a fried egg sandwich type)..pancakes were hard and they ran out of orange juice (at 9am on sunday ?????)!! the waitress reordered the eggs, but of course everything else was cold when the new orders arrived !!
seems like a lack of management.. the poor waitress tried her best..when the floor manager came around to give us our bill (which had the oj on it that we never got), i politely mentioned that this would probably be our last time here..she just turned, walked away, turned and looked over her shoulder and shrugged as if to say so what!!
i had in the past recommended this to several people...well no more !!! they need to wake up and realize, there are 6 or 7 very good competitors within 1 mile or less from them !!
goodbye buttermilk !!! john k. , bedford

feels like home. **update**
went here for lunch today. i had been there a few times for breakfast and loved it. lunch was seriously lacking. got the chicken fried steak and it was not good. no seasoning (i almost never salt and pepper my food at restaurants, but i was dumping it on) on it or the potatoes, or the gravy for that matter. chicken and rice soup tasted canned. the side salad was good, but you can't really mess up salad with ranch, right? my water never got refilled. i wasn't impressed with lunch, but i may still comebackfor breakfast items.


original review: "cute place, super friendly waitresses. the food is classic, yummy comfort food. biscuits and honey butter were melt-in-your-mouth good. great place for breakfast. i will definitely be back."

off the beaten path good food.. good home cooking with a number of daily specials to choose from each day for $7.95. my wife and i went there for the first time yesterday. we both had burgers which were good, but kind of so so. seemed like the buns may have been homemade. with most entrees you also get a complimentary bowl of soup and dinner rolls. one note here is the butter. they do have honey butter which i don't personally care for, but they also have that excellent restaurant butter that you can only seemingly find at restaurants. it's not a real fancy place and could probably use some updates, but the people were nice and i'd gobackand give it another shot. next time probably for dinner. we also got a piece of bananna split pie to go which was excellent at $2.95. we also found a buy one get one free with 2 drink purchases online. may have been called couponclipper. pretty good experience overall.

food was good prices were good!! overall good experience will gobackthe texas waffle was delish!!!
