I debated for a while whether or not to write something negative. Yelp is a valuable service so here it goes.
I have been to Butters three times. All three times I had the Popeye Scrambler. It is GREAT. However, they miss the mark in a few areas. The hash browns were awful. They tasted like powdered, instant potatoes.
The menu is the same as Butterfield's. I asked the waitress how they are trying to be different and she said that they're aiming for a cafe feel. However, they have no place for people to sit with laptops. No bar at the coffee station. Instead they packed as many tables as possible into the place and destroyed the energy. It feels hectic, not calm like a cafe should.
Here comes the thunder. The pancakes are AWFUL. I would rate them a 2 out of 10. They are gritty and are somewhere between tasteless and tasting bad. I've had them three times and waited to write a review until I truly felt okay about writing something negative about a business in my neighborhood. They advertise a product that they are terrible at. The best pancakes in town are at JP Pancake up on Mountain View and Hayden, but everything else at JP Pancake sucks. The best overall place for breakfast we have found is The Daily Dose on Scottsdale Rd. and Indian School.
