Berg Hospitality Group is a Texas-based restaurant group behind B&B Butchers & Restaurant in Fort Worth and Soy Cowboy at Loews Arlington Hotel. Soon, the group, head by Benjamin Berg, plans to bring its fast-casual soda fountain concept, Buttermilk Baby, to North Texas.
The group debuted its original Buttermilk Baby in Houston this past year. The retro diner concept, playfully splashed with all sorts of bright colors, oozes nostalgia. From its countertop seating, ’50s-era ice cream sculptures, disco balls, and neon signage, Buttermilk Baby is reminiscent to a drug-store soda fountain you might see in the likes of American Graffiti or Grease.

As for its menu, Buttermilk Baby serves a variety of classic comforts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Here, diners can enjoy everything from fried chicken, burgers, and biscuits, to pancakes, corndogs, and cinnamon rolls.
Furthermore, the venue has partnered with pioneering ice cream company, Carvel – Ben Berg’s favorite – to deliver all sorts of delicious ice cream treats. Such options include Root Beer Floats, ice cream sandwiches, sundaes, shakes, and classic soft-serve.
“Carvel has my favorite soft-serve and is the originator of soft-serve ice cream,” Berg said. “With the brand being from the Northeast, I am happy to bring it to my new home. And everyone should try a Fudgie the Whale Cake at least once in their life!”
For those wanting to shake things up a bit, Buttermilk Baby serves an assortment of alcohol-infused shakes and libations. Boozy shakes include the Espresso Shaketini, Bailey’s Oreo Cookie, decadent Strawberry White Chocolate Shake, and more.
For something on the lighter side, the retro diner serves spiked classics including Dirty Shirleys, Rowdy Roy Rogers, Dreamsickle Soda, Strawberry Dream Spritz, and more.
As far as a timeline goes, Ben Berg aims to open Buttermilk Baby in North Texas within two years. As to where it will open exactly, it still remains to be seen.
