Your Local Family Diner Since 1988
Founded in 1988 by David and Debbie, Buttercup Grill & Bar emerged from a desire to create a family-friendly dining space offering fresh, homemade meals at accessible prices. Over three decades later, our commitment to quality remains unwavering, with five Bay Area locations serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Our kitchen prepares nearly everything from scratch using Debbie's cherished recipes, ensuring every dish maintains the authenticity of home cooking. We pride ourselves on fostering a welcoming atmosphere where guests enjoy hearty meals alongside attentive service from our long-tenured team members, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years.Our dessert program highlights our signature upside-down apple-walnut pie, a customer favorite featuring a handcrafted brown-sugar-and-walnut glaze. As a family-operated business, we continue to prioritize community connections while maintaining our reputation for consistent quality and approachable pricing.
