Batter & Berries

I recently had breakfast at Batter & Berries on N Lincoln Ave between Kenmore Ave and Diversey Pky in Lincoln Park with some friends. It was a Wednesday morning, and our wait was very short on some picnic-like benches in the middle of the restaurant, which was hopping.

I had the Crab Cakes Benedict, which was one of their specials. The dish consisted of 2 crab cakes (which contain lots of crab), each topped with a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, and served with a side of cheesy hashbrowns. I also ordered a side of sausage.



A friend who frequents the restaurant ordered the Cluck 'n Gaufre, which is a chicken-stuffed sweet potato waffle topped with a piece of fried chicken with nutmeg hot sauce and maple butter. I generally love chicken and waffles; however, I'm not often a fan of sweet potatoes. I tried a taste off of her plate, and I thought I could stand the sweet potatoes. It was delicious.

It's a fun breakfast place in the heart of Lincoln Park.
