buttons restaurant

tried to eat here two different times but both times we failed. first time we went for pot roast, the advertised speacial, but were told they decided not to make/serve that after all. next we attempted to use a discount card we were given for lunch, that stated valid until 4pm. we arrived at 3pm and were told the kitchen was closed until dinner. very poor attitudes andservicefor a restaurant. seems like they are lazy or just don't care. buyer beware!!! too many choices in addison... go elsewhere!

ok ok ok.... third and final visit!!!!. inhad really high hopes after my first visit, but the food was pretty bad (smothered chicken /cold and old... and mac and cheese...fantastic!!! and peach cobbler....terrible!!!! just wasn't good.).

ok anyway second visit was equally terrible but this time theservicewas the worst imaginable!

the waitress had noserviceskills whatsoever, offered many blended whiskies when i asked spefically for a sine malt( yeah that maybe a little nit picking but darn at $130.00 per meal+ drinks and tip for two people!!!

ok my third and final visit this past saturday... quick seating, the person seating us never made eye contact, dropped two menus on the table and walked away. i had to double check to make sure i was appropriately dressed... darn there's a guy in here with flip flops on, so i guess that wasn't it.

i had the lamb (cold and small). i had this before at ovations... this time made me angry... but i was nice and ate some of...mac and cheese excellent. the music was way too loud and was not very good!!!! oh am i shouting, that's how my entire dinner experience went. i have never been so dissappointed in a dinning experience before. they need gordan ramsey in a f word hurry. never again!

on a scale of. 1 - 5 it gets a generous 3. when i visit a resturant i am looking for a complete dining experience. theservicewas well short of any experience i've had where i didn't have to order by the number and decide to super size. the atmospher was extremly nice, a near tapestry of nations. they didn't have my first two selections of prime rib and lamb chops very disappointing. but the sides were very well done. (mac & cheese/yams). the price was not worth the "dining experience". and barely worth the meal selection. i'll go back once again, maybe they had a bad night! i'll let you know.

first visit--food was beautifully prepared and actually very good. they ran out of prime rib so i settled for the lamb chops, they were rather small for the price but very well prepared. therserviceon the other hand was terrible!!! i waiting nearly 20 minutes before even getting water to the table and at least that long before a waitress even presented herself. once we ordered things improved but only slightly. i will go back, but if theserviceisn't better it will be my last.

brunch and dinner. buttons brunch was southern comfort food that i went back for dinner to try the wonderful potroast. there was a one man band there on sunday that was awesome. i love both locations, but the orginal in ft worth has betterserviceand is sometimes less crowded as the the location addison.

this smothered porkchop was so tender that it pulled apart like a tender pork roast. it was seasoned to perfection. amazing meal i will be going back to buttons jazz soul food asap.

amazing service!!! serious.... amazing service!!!
seriously, greatserviceas well as wonderful food!

love the food and the music is always great! sometimes the hosts can be a little high on themselves; seem as if they've forgotten they're in theserviceindustry.

i went on saturday at 6:45. the wait to get a table was longer than we wanted to wait, so we settled for bar seats.
i ordered the chicken wings & my my my was that the best fried chicken i have ever had. the macaroni- hmmmmm it was just ok , nothing to brag about. the drinks & customerservicewas outstanding. this place is a tad bit pricey so be prepared! over all i will become a regular

the worstserviceever. while the food was good. i don't think that it's worth the wait. i've been there twice. 6 weeks apart. no special events or anything unusual going on. however we sat for nearly 30 mins before being acknowledged by the server. in which i had to go to the hostess to have someone come take our order. the server didn't even mention anything about us having to wait as long as we did. he takes our order. disappears for about 15 mins before he brings us our drinks. when the food finally arrives the runners only bring part of the order. no one received a refill on their drinks until it was time to go. the server disappears and never checked on us to see if we wanted refills or removes all those plates they give you or our checks when we were done eating. i had to go to the hostess again to ask for the server and while she's looking for him then to send the manager on duty. the manager did the best he could to smooth things over and explain things. doesn't really matter. not ever going back. i'd rather pay $80 for a steak and have some wait on me hand and foot than to pay $20 and receive crappy service.

really likes it! had lunch at buttons and let me tell you, keith really knows southern soul! chicken & waffles were the best i've had! cheese grits are mouth-watering and theservicewas second to none! if there's one negative, the greens were a bit salty, but hey it's soul food & i can deal with that! can't wait to get back soon!

great soul food. we had the chicken & waffles and the pot roast tonight. both were delicious. we have been to ovation several times and have enjoyed hicks' food. the portions are big enough to share. the atmosphere was great; they knocked down some walls and opened up the kitchen. buttons has the atmosphere to go along with the great food. theservicewas wonderful. drinks were ok, could be a bit stronger. overall, great experience!
