Ate breakfast at this restaurant during a trip to Little Rock and it did not disappoint. It is located to a lot of shops and was located near the hotel so it was convenient with plenty of parking. We went rather early so there was no wait and we were seated rather quickly.
They have a nice variety of items on the menu and even include options for people with diet-sensitive requirements. The beignets are a great starter, we ordered the cinnamon sugar ones. I ordered the Daylight Skillet, which is one of their bowls with potatoes, veggies, and eggs. It also included one of their huge biscuits. The bowl was great and prepared perfectly.
The waitress and other staff we encountered were all nice and friendly. The restaurant was nice and clean and even when traffic picked up and there was a wait for customers it never felt crowded. Great breakfast or brunch spot and would recommend it.

My husband and I popped in around 10 this morning…there was a 30 minute wait but we were given the option to grab a seat at the bar so we did. Best decision!!! It was so much fun watching the staff bustle orders together and we were able to see many of the different menu options. Clarissa was amazing! She welcomed us into the restaurant and checked on us several times to ensure we were taken care of..she even let us sample the over the top delicious lemon curd..yum!! We will definitely be back soon🥰🥰 Thank you Buttered Biscuit for putting so much joy into our brunch!!!

Bentonville Promenade Menu
At The Buttered Biscuit, every meal is made from scratch with plenty of love, making our Promenade location the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or anything in between.
At our Promenade location, we’re thrilled to bring the same scratch-made, Southern-inspired comfort dishes that made The Buttered Biscuit a local favorite in Northwest Arkansas—now to the vibrant heart of Little Rock.
Here, our signature classics take center stage, starting with our Biscuits and Gravy. Hot from the oven biscuits are generously topped with our house-made sausage gravy, a perfect comfort food combo that’s become true crowd pleaser. Another must-try is the Pancake Feast, a hearty stack of our light, fluffy pancakes served with eggs, crispy potatoes, and your choice of bacon or sausage for a meal that satisfies. For a cluckin’ good time, the Kickin’ Chicken is sure to hit the spot—hand-breaded fried chicken atop our signature waffle, accompanied by two eggs and a side of house-made bacon jam.
And we haven’t forgotten about the kiddos either! Our kids’ menu is packed with fun and tasty options, including our famous Unicorn Pancakes, which are sure to bring smiles to every family breakfast.
