My go-to place when I'm feeling a big breakfast! I like to come here with a group and order the 12-egg omelette. It comes with unlimited hashbrowns, and Beth's are spot-on. All the food here though is great, really comforting and delicious! The interior is lined with coloring pages and drawings made by customers. The place screams dive and old-school diner. Don't come here if you're looking for a classy brunch, but it's great for traditional American breakfast, especially before a walk around Greenlake! read more

Went to Seattle from Phoenix, AZ specifically to go to Beth's! Had seen it sooooo many times on the food network and travel channel that, when I got the chance to go, I was stoked. I HAD to try the 12 egg omelet while there and, between my 6'3", 210 lb boyfriend and myself, we couldn't finish it. I feel like we got a little past the halfway mark before we gave up. Funny little diner with great service. Definitely check it out if in the area! read more

Nice cute little mom and pops store. The food here was yummy and the atmosphere felt like you were in a happy place. With a bunch of drawings hanged on the wall this place takes pride in their customers and take care of them. I just had coffee and the coffee here was very good. I had 4 cups (oh my) friends had the samplers and country plate. Both were good but too large. Only downside was parking. It very hard to find parking but we were lucky. I heard this place was known for their 10 eggs omelette but we didn't try it. Staff here is nice and friendly. read more

Got the 12 egg bacon omelette. Good hot sauce selection. Gave me the shits. I'll go back though lol read more

Came off a recommendation from a friend. As with recommendations I tend to read reviews of the place before I make a decision. At first glance in Google it looked fine but here Yelp it was a mere 3.5 stars. Considering im on vacation and have the time scrolled through the reviews. One caught my eye; they complained about the greeting and the way they were served. Personally, if you need that self gratification go to a breakfast place that charges $50 & up. They aren't your therapist nor counselor. Plus if you don't read your bill and pay twice for tip, that's your fault. Only recommendation I got was their opinion between the country fried steak and the sampler. Went with the country fried steak and it didn't disappoint. Hearty portion and it came out lightning fast. Let's bump up these stars; they're rookie numbers read more

When my friend told me that there was a cafe that was open pretty much all day and night I had to try. Plus, I was up early for my 6 am flight, so why not grab an omelette at 3am? I had looked up reviews the night before and their website and it seemed pretty legit. I was very excited to try their 6 egg omelette. I mean that sounds crazy good and very filling. When we walked in it definitely was a local spot. It looks like a whole in the wall diner and tables were full at 3am. Surprised me that so many people were up and had the same idea as us. I mean dont come here if youre looking to be wined and dined but if youre looking for that typical diner meal that has great portion sizes then come here! I had ordered the veggie omelette which came with mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, and jack cheese. It was huge!! To top it off it was on top of a plate full of hash browns. The toast bread was so good too! It was thick and soft, definitely will go back just for the wheat toast bread haha. Dont let me forget to tell you that you get unlimited hash browns. So good. read more

Beth's Cafe - The Veggie Omelette (6 egg) with unlimited hash browns! - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So this was how I received my hash browns from Beth's this morning. Granted, I asked for my hashbrowns "crispy," but certainly not . . . This. I mean, I tried my best to eat them (after all, my 6-egg omelet w/ hashbrowns totaled over $18), but I simply couldn't stomach the burnt, rather greasy crunch. I really want to like this place, but it seems like it is something every time . . . That said, see for yourself! Are these hashbrowns "crispy," or are they outright burned? In my opinion, they are not just burned beyond a crisp, but clearly unserveable. Not to mention disgusting . . . read more

Beth's Cafe - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So you can't sleep? Insomnias been ruining your life? You've lost your marriage and your partner has said that you fall asleep too much in the "middle" of things"? Well put the sleeping pills and street drugs down and grab the only sleeping aid you'll ever need in life: a Beth's cafe 6-egg omelet! After eating one of these leave your car and call a Uber to get home because your legs will give out and your belt buckle will buckle. The Triple Bypass Omelet (6-egg bacon, sausage, ham and double cheese omelet ($17))- Have you ever noticed a item on a menu and thought, "hmm, that is the item to complete my urge to never be hungry again"? That's what I thought when I seen this item on the menu, my next thought was "good lawd thats extremely expensive" ($17). However, due to my quest to find the absolute best "foodie" food, I happily ordered and excitedly waited. One thing that was nice was the wait time was incredibly fast, I want to say the food came in under 15 minutes (for a party of 3). This omelet is "not" a looked, more of just a large folded egg pocket filled with everything yummy that you probably shouldn't be eating in life. As plain as it looked on the outside is about as plain as it tasted on the inside. The ham was incredible salty ( I grew up on soul food so thats saying something), the bacon was over cooked and you could tell it was cooked hours earlier, and the sausage unfortunately didn't taste like anything. The double helping of Swiss and Cheddar cheese that came in the omelet did however pack a punch of all the usual flavors which was refreshing yet the overall experience was "meh" at best. Even the hash browns weren't made with love; you could tell they were made with quantity in mind as most likely they make a lions share amount each morning. I hear their 12-egg omelets come with "3 pounds" of hash browns! The entire meal was just ok and Im sad to say that as this is a Seattle and national icon (its been on the Travel Channel and the Food Network) and it is dear to my heart and a relic of my childhood, but I had to be honest and give it a "blah-3-stars". !DEFCON 5 ALERT! THEY DO NOT SERVE ALCOHOL Pros- Seattle Icon Been on Tv Huge Portions Open 24-hrs Cons- Price Can get insanely crowded on weekends NO ALCOHOL read more

New favorite breakfast spot! The outside is a total disguise, Beth's is a gem. My friend goes there regularly with her son and has said good things about it so we went for brunch and everything was amazing. The service was quick and friendly, the food was hot and cooked perfectly, the drinks were cold, I had zero complaints. I loved that they had a large selection of beverages, I was surprised they had pog juice (pineapple orange guava) which is one of my favorites. I ordered the breakfast burger and unexpectedly it was the best burger I've had in a long time! I loved their shoestring fries, their scrambled eggs were fluffy and moist, the pancakes were hearty. Yum! Overall I'd highly recommend this place and I'll absolutely be returning just based off of the staff's attitudes alone. They were really on top of it in the kitchen and foh. This was the true diner experience that I've been missing in Seattle. I love this place! read more

My bf got the mondo burger he said it was great ! But when my breakfast meal arrived I was really shocked at the quality yes I know it's Beth's but the pancake reaked off uncooked batter I still tried to eat it hoping maybe it he was just the smell from the kitchen surrounded us , I love the vibe of this place and know it a great place to go for a hangover meal but this breakfast was just sad , our server was sweet but idk if the cooks were just going on break I honestly could have made a better breakfast at home the bacon was was so burnt it just crumbled with every bite Really disappointed and sadly I will not return I've been here once before and it was a totally different experience I guess I should have ordered French toast instead of the stack of pancakes so beware only thing good was the eggs read more

Went to Beth's at 1 am because my friends and I were bored. I got the apple pie and the 12 egg omelet. The 12 egg omelet was good! The hash browns were my favorite part. They weren't super greasy or super dry and crunchy, they were perfect. I wasn't really impressed with the apple pie though, it tasted like a mediocre store bought apple pie. read more

Good to see Beth's is back open, but they need some more time to get their food quality back as before. Soggy hash browns (because omelet draped over the top), bread barely toasted, no jam, even after asking for it. Change to QR code ordering (and paying in advance, including the tip) when there is table service is not ideal. They did offer to take our order manually, but we followed their preference as used the QR code. Will I come back? Of course! read more

"SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUT UP!" This is perhaps the only place where the waitress can scream at the patrons and the other customers are actually grateful for it. We were seated next to a rowdy group mangling "Dancing Queen." Tone deaf and drunk? Not a good combo. After taking our order, our waitress screamed from the top of her lungs at the drunkards next to us. I LOVE HER. - The 12-Egg Southwestern Omelette is still good and still really big, as are the bottomless hashbrowns. - The Epic Chocolate Cake is truly epic because it tasted like fudge. Pure solid fudge. - The Six-Dollar Shake (Chocolate + Peanut Butter + Brownies) is delicious and totally worth the 6000 calories (Maybe more?) and the titular, $6. By the way, for those who love "Man v. Food," the Seattlite who competed against Adam Richman, host of "Man v. Food" really does eat here often. We bumped into him on the way in. read more

I did it. I attempted the twelve egg omelet challenge and just like Adam Richman, I failed just a bit more miserably than I thought possible. To be fair, I wasn't completely ready for the challenge as I was there at Beth's to cheer on my roommate and friend who decided a battle of the egg cartons was in store. They both hadn't eaten for hours before, whereas I just came from a tasty dinner of tuna curry. To put it simply: I was full. But when my friend accidentally ordered the Northwestern Exposure as opposed to her more desirable Southwestern Exposure... the former was shoved under my nose and I was forced into competition. What a mistake that was. Making it through the toast and hashbrowns wasn't too much of a daunting task, but those eggs - man, all those eggs! It was too much! Everything tasted fantastic, but this thought quickly falls to the wayside as you are shoving the same damn thing into your mouth over and over again. (Yes. That's what she said) Cream cheese is also another ingredient one should avoid if they are looking to consume mass quantities of food in one sitting. Leaving a solid 50% of the omelet still residing on top of the pizza pan, I sauntered off with my stomach as full as it has ever been. Ever. Sadly, nobody at our table was able to finish the beasts, but we left knowing that we tried. And isn't that worth something? read more

Beth's Cafe - An entire carton if eggs... - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Beth's Cafe is a 24-hour diner that seems to be prospering in Seattle's waning grunge universe. They have been featured on the Food Channel for their extremely large 12-egg omelets. I have never personally mustered up the courage (or stomach) to try one, as I can barely finish one of their 6-egg omelets. Maybe some day I'll give it a go when I'm feeling extra hungry (or if 2-3 people want to share one with me). Ultimately, Beth's has solid breakfast food and a delicious six-fiddy milkshake that I get every time I come here. But outside of their gargantuan omelets, there isn't really anything to differentiate the food at Beth's Cafe from any other diner. read more

Me: Michael, what's that fork stabbing? ::points to a drawing on the wall:: Michael: A pancake? Me: Mmm, I don't think so... Michael: What does the caption say? Me: "I will fork your tit any time baby..." (awkward silence ensues as we shoot sideways glances at our silverware) On our quest to get some food and watch NCAA basketball we ended up at Beth's Cafe. To me cafe is a misnomer, it's a no frills 24 hour diner, not a quaint little cafe as the name would suggest. The place has handmade drawings everywhere; some are drunken scrawls, some are truly works of art, and others downright weird or disturbing (see above). Being a 24 hour diner there's an interesting mix of people coming through the place. I got a grilled cheese *fancy* with a side of hashbrowns and Michael a burger *fancy* with a side of tots. I gathered fancy is anything other than American cheese and plain white bread. My meal was ok, the hashbrowns were a plenty, but a little too greasy for my liking. Michael seemed to like his burger. Some of the menu items seemed a bit overpriced to me for the type of place this is. Service was ok, but inattentive. We were seated quickly, but it took a while to place our order and we had to flag down drink refills. Our server left our check on the table shortly after the food arrived, never to be seen again. We finally figured out that if we wanted to pay, we had to go up to register since no one gave us a second thought as they passed our table. In their defense there is a sign above the register, we didn't notice it from our seat. They have a few interesting menu items including the Six Dollar Shake and a selection of 12-egg omelets (I hate eggs so thinking about that makes me ill). The shake has chocolate, peanut butter and brownies in it, I'm getting a cavity just thinking about it. Bottom line: Decent diner food, but errs on the pricey side for some items. read more

I am trying not to let the fact that I was stood up here sour my review. ;) Beth's is a must do for any Seattleite. People crawl here, taxi here, walk here from every bar in town and it does deliver. The place is an experience on its own. I wandered in sober, so I was already out of place. Staff is all very helpful and friendly, and the cooks are working fast and hard to keep up with a packed house. Wait for a table can be as long as 30 minutes, and everyone in your party must be present in order to snag one. I should mention that they did break this rule for me. By the time I'd been there an hour, I think this was due to pity. When I finally ordered, everything came out to perfection. The wait for food is a bit long, but very understandable. Bacon was crisp, toast was buttered, hash browns are HUGE, and egg was delicious. I loved their black tea, which came out with honey and a lemon (without me asking) and was refilled with hot water very promptly. Perks: a game room with rifle shooting game, old style arcade, and two pinball machines, friendly and helpful staff, no-frills atmosphere and payment (pay at the counter after you are finished eating), crayons and paper to color while you wait. I will venture back in! read more

Whenever I came here, there's always a line, sometimes, a long line! This is a place where you go when you drink too much or hangover. I am really glad that we can not smoke in the restaurants anymore. Otherwise, being drunk/hangover and staying in a small space with smoke would probably make me even more sick. I came here recently with friends after I had 5 beers in a night. It may sound nothing for some of you, but that's a lot for me in one night. We must have waited for 20 mins to get in. It was freezing outside! I believe Beth's is famous with their omelet. Back in the days, I loved their Ruben. Though, I was craving for harsh brown. For some reason, I had corn beef as well. It's not the best I've ever had but it's definitely the most comfort food I can get then. I don't think I had hangover the next day at all! The decor may seem cool for some since you can doodle there. But, I see this a sketchy part of Greenlake! As far as the service goes, it meets the basic requirements. read more

Beth's Cafe - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The epitome of classic, upscale dives. Absolutely no fluffy attitudes tolerated here. You come here to be yourself, and you might just encounter an independent film crew while eating your Full House and orange juice. The pancakes are way better than the Original Pancake House, and at Beth's I never leave hungry no matter how much (or how little) I pay. Parking is a bit tricky, but there is a "secret" lot behind the building that can fit six, maybe seven cars (NOT SUV's lol). Basically, I'm game for anything off the grill at Beth's. I LOVE grilled food, especially hash browns done the RIGHT way. read more

So disappointed. I have been recommending Beth's for almost a year now and after today, I won't be anymore. I'm not sure if the service is supposed to be bad on purpose but if it is, they are doing a terrific job. We arrived at 2:30pm. Not busy at all. I was sat with my young daughter with no crayons or paper yet a table of adults nearby had them. Of course my daughter saw them and started to fuss. After 10 minutes or so, our server took our order. She kept talking over me; Let me tell you what I want! I requested cream for my coffee and crayons. She came back with crayons, no cream. 20 minutes goes by and I finally flag someone down to get cream. They gave me milk. Fine. I'll make do. My daughter asked for a black crayon and I tried to intervene saying, "No, that's okay. She doesn't need it." I could tell our server was getting irritated and didn't want to cause a problem. She came back with the color anyway and then snapped at my daughter, "Why did you need black?! You already have brown." I just said thank you and apologized and she walked away after handing it to me. And that was the last time I saw her. Our food was delivered 40 minutes after our order was taken by another server who also gave us our check with the food. We were clearly going to be forgotten as we were seated in the very back of the restaurant and we were. We never had someone check on us so I couldn't get anyone to fix our food (cold) or refill my coffee. We waited until about 4pm before someone came by to give me a refill on hash browns and boxes for our food to be reheated at home. I even said, "I think we've been forgotten. I haven't seen my server for awhile." Her response was, "Uh, what do you need? Your server went home." What the fuck, Beth's? read more

I just had to come here only because I am a HUGE fan of "Man vs Food".. The wait was ridiculously long on a Saturday afternoon. We figured it was worth the wait though.. wrong... We ordered the 12-egg omelete. It tasted cheap and was extremely greasy. The cheese they put on it is the sandwich American kind and you could totally taste the poor quality of the food. The orange juice is nasty. I am pretty sure they use the really cheap kind that you mix with water. Yuck! You are better off going to Denny's if you are going to try to make a trip to Beth's (if you live far away). There is nothing special about this place except maybe the art wall that intoxicated customers drew up. read more

Can Beth's simultaneously be the pinnacle and low point of my trip to Seattle? Beth's popularity sky rocked after it aired on Man vs. Food where Adam Richman attempted to eat their 12 egg southwestern exposure omelette. After arriving in Seattle, I knew I was going to attempted this "challenge". I ended up ordering a 12 egg omelette with sausage and cheese. Long story short, I FINISHED the entire thing (harsh browns and toast too), in 1 hour. Never in my life has my jaw been so tired of chewing and the taste of food seem so bland in my mouth. It was if my mouth was running a marathon and its "legs" went numb but I still continued to run towards the finish line. I think my friends and I sat at Beth's for a good 15 minutes after I finished so I could recover, then I asked my friend to drive the car as if he had an unbuckled baby in the back seat. Don't worry, I held it down. Besides their infamously large omelette, they are open and serve breakfast 24 hours (score!). read more

Beth's Cafe - Country Benedict - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Easily the best diner in the Seattle area! The food is reasonably priced and you get HUGE portions. Anything from the breakfast menu is highly recommended (their omelets are legendary) but everything is great. It has a grungy, cool, and fun atmosphere with customer drawings all over the walls and a modern jukebox. Beth's is open 24/7 which is another massive plus. Be prepared to wait for a table on busy nights but it's always worth your time. If you're visiting Seattle, absolutely check this place out for a flavor of the city! read more

Come one; Come all to this under-rated cafe. Sure, there is only street parking, it is between two bars and just from the looks of this cafe, you might need to have a tetanus shot after. Minh and I were hungry after taking some picture nearby, only problem was it was after midnight and not many places were fully opened (kitchen's had a limited menu, we wanted full options). Walking in we were greeted by the cook (who just might have been released from prison that day) and a waiter who grabbed some menus and seated up in the main dining room across from the vintage arcade area they have. The booths are very worn in as my seat needed to be patched. But at the same time, it was cozy. We were handed our "sticky" menus and asked if we would like some water. Had a chance to look over their menu which has their famous breakfasts (which is the omelette's that come with a choice of 6 or 12 eggs and all you can eat hash browns) sounds like too much for you well then they have the simpler breakfasts (eggs, pancakes, scrambles, and mini breakfast) if breakfast isn't what you're in the mood for then they also have burgers,hot sandwiches, hot dogs, soups and salads and even desserts. Our waiter returned with two glasses of water and some straws. We were ready to order as well. After trying to decide if my tummy could handle a huge amount of food this late at night, I opted for getting the mini breakfast: One pancake, two sausage links, two strips of bacon (which was extra) & one egg (scrambled) Had a chance to look around at all the art that past customers have left for the cafe. A lot of them were from coloring books and were a mix of old and new. Getting our food took awhile since Minh ordered a huge omelet, which took time to cook. I liked how our waiter come back to check on us before the food was delivered and even after. Finally, the main event arrived: The pancake was GIANT as it was half over my plate. My eggs were perfectly cooked and fluffy (no burn marks) bacon and links were greasy and wanting to jump into my mouth! I had no problem inhaling this heavenly breakfast! Hats off to the cook he has mad skills and was actually very nice despite being taller than Minh and myself. As we were leaving he asked how our meal was then thanked us for coming in. If you are wanting a legit meal and don't care about how the place looks then come here. Prices are affordable and the service is wonderful! read more

Beth's Cafe - Mini breakfast: Pancake, eggs, sausage and bacon. - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One word; omelette. Chances are, sometimes you are straight-up hungry, and you have a burning desire to squelch that burning hunger, to fill your belly with eggs, plus a "Healthy" helping of fillings. If that is your "situation" and "dilemma" then might I humbly suggest as a born and raised Seattleite, that you slide over to Beth's Cafe, and make your egg-filled-dreams come true for not-that-much-cash-money. A dive is what you find here, and one of the few true Seattle mainstays. It's on Aurora, and right next to one of the busiest parts of it. That's okay, because while you are waiting in line on a cool misty night, you can stare at the people inside, who are enjoying it, and hopefully you brought a friend, because when it's busy, it's BUSY. BUSY are the late night hours, and all weekend. It's okay to gawk, because quantity/quality is what awaits you. Sure, you get inside, and hunger is causing you to be a little delusional... so you should eat what? Well, they have an omelette named "The Triple Bypass" which contains Bacon, Sausage, Ham and a helping of cheese, also known as "my favorite thing to put stuff my face with," as well as "Northwestern Exposure" which is the second most favorite thing to stuff my face with.. and because Smoked Salmon, because Seattle. Honestly, I have never had anything other than the Omelettes here. If you want to eat something else, well.... I have nothing for you, because the LEGEND here is Omelettes. Also, It's not impossible to finish a 12 egg omelette, I've got two victories; but on my first try, it owned me: record stands 2 wins - 1 loss. Oh yes, you need something to help understand the immensity for your faithful decision... for if you picture... an EXTRA LARGE PIZZA PAN. Then imagine an omelette, the size of a football... or a bike helmet. Then a lump of hash-browns, the size of your MacBook Keyboard. Close your eyes (after you read this review) and imagine taking your fork, and slicing through 5 inches of food, the fillings just spill out, like no ones't business. Of course if you order the Southwestern Exposure you will have the chili all over your plate. Proceed to start stuffing it into your face. Note: It's delicious. You might ask, "Andrew L: At what hour is this cool joint open, for my bad self to partake in 1 dozen eggs, and as-many-as-I-can-eat HashBrown?" In which my answer is, they are open, Twenty4/Seven, 3-SixtyFive. Recommendations? Get a group together, empty stomaches, and prepare to eat a meal that will indoctrinate you, or renew you as a Seattleite. read more

There's really no way I can put into words why I love this place at 2 am. I could say it's the history (my 65-year-old father used to go there when he was young and dare his friend to eat the 12-egg omelet). I could say it's the food, but let's be honest, it's just a diner. I could say it's the people, but let's be more honest, they're not that great. I could say it's the atmosphere, but let's be even more honest, it's a dive. Maybe it's the drug addicts in the alley. Maybe it's the acid-inspired customer artwork. Maybe it's the waiting for a table with all the other obnoxious drunks blowing smoke in my face on the cold, wet sidewalk. Maybe it's the super loud music making it impossible to talk to the person across the table. Hmm... why *DO* I like this place? Oh yeah, It's open 24 hours and they have tater tots = 5 stars. read more

I fell in love with the vibe at Beth's Cafe in 1992, when a boy I was crushing on invited me to do the Seattle thing, and hang out. That didn't last long, but my odd love affair lives on after 20+ years! Beth's is a divy greasy spoon diner that serves up ungodly portions of unhealthy, heart clogging deliciousness. If you need a heavy, good, old-fashioned breakfast at 3 AM, you will be happy to learn breakfast is served 24-hours each day. I would write something here about 12 egg omelets served on a pizza tin, but what can one really say? Unlimited hash browns? They've got that too. I'm told they serve other meals at Beth's, but I've never had the pleasure of witnessing or enjoying such a thing. The walls have been lined with patron created art likely for longer than I have been alive. Make sure you add to it during your visit! read more

I'll admit, this place is probably the best thing ever.. when intoxicated. Tons of greasy, deep friend, calorie dense food options to choose from & the portions are always huge. Not to mention it is open 24 hours. However, when not intoxicated this place is slightly awful. Average food at best, nothing I couldn't get for a lot cheaper then they charge, the place itself is a little dirty & the staff is quite interesting.. to say the least. Not going to lie & say I won't return, smashed, at 3am, to stuff my face. read more

You don't go to Beth's for the food, you come here for the scene. Awesome witty tattooed servers, noisy big mouths, loud music and art- I use the term art loosely. The walls are covered with random pieces of work. Once in a while you can spot a real masterpiece. Everyone gets along here. White, Black, Asian, Goth, Punk, Prep, Jock etc. It's like a big cafe version of The Breakfast club. The food isn't shabby. It's like Denny's but bigger portions and more grease. If you're down with supporting a local business and love diner food, by all means stop on in. There is a small parking lot in the back of the building but you usually can score parking close by if it's full. The "game room" has a couple pinball machines and the bathroom is near by. I hate that porcelain pot up on the step. I'd rather take a chance in getting a public urination ticket. Crowds start pouring in when the bars shut down and that early breakfast you wanted on the weekend isn't happening for at least and hour or more. Sweet potato fries are criss-cross cut and thin. Hashbrowns aren't dry and have a good texture. The cinnamon roll is tasty, however remind them to leave off melted margarine- you don't want to eat a mushy lump of dough. I've yet to try the 12 egg omlette, but Beth's has been my after bar hours hang out for many years. read more

Beth's Cafe is a straight up DIVE and reminded me of Seattle Old School Grunge which I was happy to see in this now world of overpriced hipster crap! they are located in the Green Lake neighborhood north of Downtown Seattle and Open 24/7. Established in 1954, Beth's is World Famous for their Omelettes... one of which is their signature (((TWELVE EGG OMELETTE))) which I saw on an episode of Man VS Food back in 2009. I came here expecting to park blocks away and a line of people out the door but I guess we came at the right time http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/beths-cafe-seattle#SnqprNziUQ1mrBFeBM-_EQ scored some up front parking and NO waiting! Beth's has a nice menu consisting of Omelettes (6 or 12 Egg), Pancakes and traditional breakfast stuff to Burgers, Sandwiches, Soups and Salads, but I already know I'm here for one thing and only one thing.... the 12-Egg Omelette, now I just need to decide do I make my own? or go for one of nine menu-ed omelettes. I asked the very friendly waitress if I can start off with this - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/beths-cafe-seattle#CI0jqtmgZwX3Dru2aT6XKg Amish Friendship Bread ($2.99) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/beths-cafe-seattle#yGxFHM2d8xCjYa7jJevrYw I recommend you get this, you have an option to Sub this for your toast at a cheaper price BUT the wife wanted her toast, so I got this as a side. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/beths-cafe-seattle#NuCGCML2TD5fPaFNUzWmfw DELICIOUS reminded me a bit of Coffee Cake, but better!. ((((Man & Woman VS Food)))) 12 - Egg Omelette Triple Bypass ($24.95) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/beths-cafe-seattle#8QhkNZaxIx4ZvlCcMGlM6Q Yeah, that's served on a large pizza tin... 12 Eggs and loaded with Bacon, Sausage, Ham, Double Swiss Cheese & Double American Cheese.. All you Can Eat Hash Browns and Toast http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/beths-cafe-seattle#AQ5ahBq7KLN0AEQ7fXj4Qw you know 12 eggs it's gonna be big BUT you really don't comprehend HOW BIG this is until they set it in front of you! Bacon was nice and crisp only wish it was in bigger pieces, Ham was nice thick cubes, and it had plenty of cheese my only complaint was the sausage was a bit undercooked. Hash Browns were buttery and nice and crisp... did I mention how big this thing was.

How on earth do you describe Beth's....Divey. Hole-in-the-wall. Colorful. Decent food. Don't expect the world when you come here. Expect that service is going to be so-so, it may not look the cleanest either. Ripped booths, colorings all over the walls, rock music blaring. What you will enjoy however is the sheer amount of food and options you have here. Breakfast at Beth's is legit. Most come for the omelets. 6 or 12 eggs is your only options...you will certainly not go home hungry....especially that they offer unlimited hash browns. Yes, you heard me...unlimited hash browns. Add some of their awesome friendship bread and you got yourself a meal. Yes, you have seen this crazy place on Man Vs. Food, the Travel channel, etc. Why? Because it's just one of those places you have to experience for yourself. The southwestern exposure omelet with their house made chili is awesome. Their friendship bread tastes like yummy coffee cake. Hash browns are always cooked nicely and some what crispy just how I like em. This place has been around for years and is definitely worth a try. read more

I have lived in King county since 2009 and have heard about Beth's Cafe and their famous 21 egg omlet years before that, yet haven't made a trip out until 2013. Came here looking for a big dinner breakfast, and that's exactly what I got. Okay, so a lot of the negative reviews are about the quality of the interior. It's a delecious old school diner, what do you expect? The old furniture and customer drawn pictures all over the wall gave the place a nice diner feel, which I personal want from this kind of breakfast. My boyfriend and I both ordred our diner usuals, french toast combo for me & pancake combo for him, plus a side of hash browns. Holy moly was this a lot of food. We realized we could of ordered half of the food and still had left overs. We both enjoyed the fact that our coffee was never less than half full. I will be back! read more

I think the term "greasy spoon" is over used, but this place fits that description. The food was great, the service was good and I would definitely go back. I had a 6 egg omelet and it was enormous, mostly because it came on top of about 1.5 pounds of hashbrowns (which were excellent, nice and crispy) and toast. I can eat a lot and I still only got through half of it. I highly recommend! Beware that parking is in short supply. P.S. order something with bacon, it was perfetly cooked, thick and crispy. read more

It was good. It's your basic cafe menu, burgers, sandwiches, pancakes, etc. Very friendly people, good environment. Except for one of the servers that had AirPods on, he was talking on his phone and then also helping me out. Service 2/5, food 3/5 Try it out. Could improve on not burning the food though read more

Beth's Cafe - Strawberry French toast with a chocolate/ strawberry shake - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Having seen Beth's on various food shows, I made this a must on our trip to Seattle. It is worth a visit just for the photo op, but aside from that this place felt like a mortuary - yes it was depressing as hell! Just a hole in the wall with alot of Caucasian "character". I'm sorry but this place was filthy with busted up chairs and booths, walls that were darken by decades of grease (conveniently covered up with crayon drawings - some of which were vulgar and/or disturbing), electrical wires going every which way, a three person staff that was indifferent to the customers, a toilet that was backed up and ready to overflow (flushing WAS NOT an option!) and the "ambiance" was death. We went at a time when it wasn't busy (dinner time)?? We must've sat on the wrong side of the cafe I think because the waitress didn't see us for intervals of 10-12 minutes each time. There was one other customer when we got there and 3 occupied tables when we left, so what's up with that? The other two employees (cooks) just had their fingers up their backsides it seemed - even a sloth moves faster than these guys. Honestly, these two guys seemed like they just hated their job - unprofessional, no passion, sense of time or urgency. If I had seen these guys on the streets, I would have misinterpreted them as panhandlers in the Haight Ashbury! OK, so we ordered the 12 egg Full House Omelet. If you know you're not going to finish (or intend to finish), don't let them "add an extra plate for $1.50" for sharing. Not sure what the all you can eat hash browns are since no one said a word to us until we asked for our check. Water was never refilled nor extra napkins given or anything else. Other than the large portion, it was very ordinary food. To me, IHOP serves tastier food than this. I guess you have to be liquored up to enjoy this place? Maybe I went at the wrong time? I just don't know. We got our pictures and paid our bill...that was good enough for me, but the experience was sad. read more

The only negative thing I could say about Beth's is that during my 7 year tenure in Seattle, I've only been there twice! Yes, boo on me... People seem to be complaining about the wait you have to endure once you order but hey, on both occasions I was too drunk to remember if I was growing impatient or not (which in my opinion should be the state that you're in upon visiting said establishment). You also can draw or play video games in their little arcade so you do have some options if you grow THAT antsy. I guess you can talk about how it could get so crowded to where it may take a while to be seated but it's like that with a lot of late night hole in the wall places, and hey, it gives you time to work up your appetite cause trust me, you'll need it. The first time I went there I pussed out and opted for the six egg omlette instead of the 12 egg bohemoth that they're known for. As I sat there digging into my FREE bottemless hashbrowns (yes, you read correctly, bottomless hashbrowns: my most favorite thing to have bottomless other than a woman), the waitress brought a 12 egger to the table next to us and I immedietely began to wish that I had ordered the latter, a wish I gladly recanted when I couldn't even finish that six egg monstrosity. For shame!! The second time around I was a bit smarter about my order and so I wish to pass along this bit of advice: push aside your ego, save your heart and share a 12 egger with someone. There were six of us the last time I went and we got three 12 eggers, all different combinations, and we put it in the middle of the table and shared it, family style. With this tactic, you get to try more flavors AND you save more money than having everyone buy a six egger for themselves. So the next time you're in the Seattle area, just finished clubbing, or just hanging with the late night munchies, skip Jacks and Taco Bell and head to Beths. Trust me, your appetite will be more than satisfied and chances are, you'd have enough leftovers to last you another day or two! read more
