Butters Pancakes & Café

Butters is the sort of breakfast spot where the batter is the main character. The kitchen makes its pancake batters from scratch, cracks eggs by hand and squeezes orange juice fresh, and the Hayden Road restaurant in Scottsdale opens at 6:30 every morning so early risers can get a plate before the heat sets in.

The pancake side of the menu

Butters is known for creative pancakes rather than a single plain stack. The menu has run to flavors like strawberry chocolate chip, an Oreo cookie s'mores cake and Swedish cakes, alongside French toast and waffles for people who want something different. If you plan to share, ordering one sweet plate and one savory plate for the table is the usual strategy.

Savory plates and lunch

On the egg side you will find omelets (including a New Mexico omelette and egg-white versions), Eggs Benedict, scrambles and skillets. Southwestern touches show up in dishes like Eggs Verde and biscuits with sausage gravy. When the morning turns into lunch, the menu continues with salads, sandwiches, wraps and burgers, so a mixed group has options.

The restaurant also lists accommodations for guests who are celiac or avoiding gluten, which is worth asking about when you order.

Setting

The Scottsdale restaurant has been described as an easygoing breakfast stop with a polished dining room. Butters is part of a small Arizona pancake-café group with three locations, and the Hayden Road branch sits at 8300 N Hayden Road.
