Walking in & welcomed immediately! They were very kind and sat us down quickly. Our waitress was very kind and great memory. She took our orders without writing it down and everything came out right. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. We went to the one in concord but they do have one in Oakland and Vallejo as well but I will say their service was so good I wouldn't mind making the drive out and enjoy the area and good weather to come.

First time at ButtercuP today. Our server was a ray of sunshine and the food came out quickly -- hot and freshly made to order. My son snagged the last slice of coconut cream pie and said the filling was quite good. The crust was just OK -- not flakey. He is spoiled by my homemade pies. Very nice, casual diner with a few tables for outdoor dining available. We will be back.

Great food and service I have nothing else to say. Yelp wants me to say 85 characters but that's nonsense

Food ServiceShout out to our outstanding waitress ,Pearl! She's awesome, remembers your order and makes you feel welcome the whole time. The food was delicious, try the tex mex,their sauces are great! Bonus-they have great brunch cocktails! They have a sesonal menu, that varies. They have pies, the chocolate silk is really good. Haven't tried the rest, but everything we've had has been delicious. Stop on by and say hello to Pearl!

This is our family favorite for a Sunday meal after church. We have come here for years and the kids have grown up with Ben, Nicole, Pearl "The Doctor" and countless others. The food is always amazing and makes the kids think of home and many happy celebrations held here. Whenever they are visiting the Bay we always have to make a special stop to on of our favorite nostalgic meal stops for some "home cooked food". We love this place and the family that runs this establishment.

A straight-up solid spot for breakfast if you're local. I rolled in and got the French Toast Combo. The French toast? Eggy as hell, and that's exactly how I like it. None of that dry, sad bread nonsense. Every bite was golden, fluffy, and soaked with just the right amount of syrup--absolute breakfast perfection. Great for my non-diagnosed pre-diabetic ahh. The service here? Always on point. Our waitress was super attentive, didn't forget a single thing, and had that genuine "we appreciate you being here" vibe. You can tell they really care about keeping you happy, which makes the whole experience even better. Price-wise? Very reasonable for the portions and quality. And that classic American diner aesthetic? Can't go wrong with it--it just feels homey and welcoming. I've only been here for breakfast, so I can't speak to lunch or dinner, but for breakfast? It's a solid go-to. If you're in Concord and want a decent breakfast spot with good vibes, Buttercup's got you.

Very good home-made tasting meals! We ordered thru DoorDash because we had a gift certificate. Our orders traveled well. We had the Mom's Meatloaf and the Chicken Piccata. Again, so delicious .... At first we thought the meals were pricey, of course, when DoorDashed. But for seniors with lighter appetites, we could eat half and save the other half for another meal. So, it's a reasonable value. But we will definitely eat in at the restaurant next time, and that price point would be reasonable. The portions were generous. . The meat loaf and accompaniments were home made tasty and seasoned just right. Included fresh steamed veggies, grits (an option), soup.

This was a great stop! We are traveling and needed a good lunch. I had meat loaf which was delicious! It wasn't dry at all. It came with great homemade mashed potatoes and mixed veggies - all fresh. My husband had the chicken pot pie and a side of cheese broccoli soup. He said that soup was the best he had ever eaten. Yum! The pot pie had a nice crust that came over the dish. It was a bit on the small side but still very good. Our server was kind and attentive. Our food came out quickly. The setting is nice and comfortable. We were happy with this stop!
