The Buttery is a greasy spoon that Richie took me to today in South City. I don’t have a photo because it was a spur of the moment decision.
It’s your typical hole in the wall diner- it even smells like burning. But, it has great diner food at way low prices. Lower even than the South City Diner. One deluxe burger, fries, chocolate shake, fish filet, more fries, coleslaw and ice tea for fifteen bucks. Breakfast is served all day, and they are open 24 hours. I should warn you- CASH ONLY.
Always good to know of a good hangover joint all over the city. This place is really good. City Diner will always be my favorite (unless I’m in St. Charles, then it’s Gingham’s all the way), but The Buttery will do in a pinch.

The Gingham’s in South County was just torn down. Not sure if they’re going to relocate, but…*sniff*. I can’t believe the Buttery is still there. That was my favorite place to go for middle of the night hashbrowns.
I haven’t tried the hashbrowns. Maybe next time I’ll try their breakfast.
