Great place for brunch. Be prepared to wait for at least 30minutes. They have really good hashbrowns and egg dishes. However the chicken fried steak was nasty. Avoid! We went there to get our biscuits and gravy fix however we left unsatisfied. The gravy was pasty, plain and cold. Next time I think I'll stay at home for biscuits and gravy. Everything comes out really greasy overall so I don't think it's a weekly weekend dive. More like a lets-find-somewhere-interesting-to-pig-out place. read more

Beth's Cafe. What can i say. I LOVE LOVE this place. just cause they give large amounts of food. This place was featured on two FOod Network Shows, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and Man vs.Food. If its featured on two different shows, its most definitely on my to do list on a place to try. Being from Hawaii as a foodie place, i'm all about trying new places and its breakfast. My favorite meal of the day. We get there and there was a place to sit. We sat in a booth and start looking at the menu. I asked my friend, a Seattle native said we should get the 12 egg omelet and just share it.. I said sounds good. We got the one with ham and mushroom and cheese. I forgot the name but when we finally get it and its on a frickin pizza aluminium dish. I was like HOly crap! its frickin BIG. We start chowing down at it and oh my I'm in heaven. Each bite is awesome goodness. The hash was also cooked very well. Nice and brown and a little bit of crunch to it. After im done over eating, there was alot of food left and decided to get it to go. Some things I thought of the place though, its pretty much a Dive. The creases in the booth had like crusty old food. Dont look down by the floor because its very dirty. Also the pics on the walls drawn by kids look amazing and great idea that its on the wall but I think they need to take them down and put new ones up again. Other then that, I love the place because the food is good and I will most defiantly be back. read more

Beth's is a dinky hole in the wall diner that I LOVE against my better judgement. Is it divey? Absolutely. Was I afraid to use the bathroom? Oh hell yea. Is the food healthy? HA!! That's a negatory. But we got a table right away, the staff are uber cool, and were patient with an out-of-towner. GREAT service. You can color as a grown adult and nobody will judge you! Oh come on! And the portions are so huge, it's inadvisable to eat some of there plates all by yourself. However, if you're in the mood for comfort food, the breakfasts are delicious! And you're guaranteed to have leftovers for home. Everybody wins! read more

Beth's was worth the hype. Walked right in on a Friday morning and was enthusiastically greeted by a few folks inside. They kept the place nice and toasty inside-- we felt nice and warm despite the fact that it's one of the coldest days of the year. Food was great, portion-sizes were generous, and the staff was super friendly. We'll be back! read more

Solid three stars ;) Went there cause several friends have recommended repeatedly. Saturday around lunch time 12-1, waited about 20-25 minutes. Service was fast, decent coffee. Triple bypass - good, liked it. Pancakes - just ok Vanilla milkshake - good Would recommend and I will go back :) read more

Beth's is now checked off my restaurant bucket list. And good thing. I was not impressed with this place, but have wanted to come here for a year or so. I got the Country Benedict. It was tasty, but half of my hashbrowns were cold. :( The biscuits and gravy were good, and the bacon cooked pretty perfect. But you can get this semi-goodness just about anywhere. My cohorts got the same, and one got the Breakfast Burrito. She said it was good, and we all took half our food home with us. Service = HORRIBLE... We only saw our server 3 times, we had to ask a different server for boxes. I am glad that I was facing the window, because if I had witnessed more bad service, I would have probably been snarky. Which would be bad since I encountered a different snarky employee on the way out. I imagine if this place has to deal with hungover-ites, they don't need to be nice. I see no reason to come back. They would have only gotten 1 star, but they have Amish Friendship Bread, and I love that stuff. :) read more

Beth's Cafe - Beths... mediocre goodness. - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's old-school Seattle. It takes me back at least ten years. The servers are cool. There's country and punk music. The food is really good. The bathroom is tiny, no soap, someone didn't aim well peeing...which really is a Seattle dive experience. It's nice to be here on a visit after moving away. read more

I've got much love for any 24-hour diner establishment. I'm of the firm belief that breakfast should be served at all hours any day (I'm looking at you McDo's), but breakfast is ESPECIALLY awesome between the hours of 2 and 4am. Unfortunately, you can't really expect a lot of people working at those odd hours - especially after a Sunday night out, rolling in about a dozen deep. Beth's is no exception - my cousins were tired and hungry walking in, and those conditions only got worse for far longer than we would have liked. Beth's has some interesting colorful crayon art wallpaper (and a colorful staff), and the infamous dozen egg omelet. Sadly, they don't offer any kind of prize for finishing it! That was disappointing. My six egg Southwestern omelet (with chili, cheese and sour cream) was good, but I think that had more to do with the elongated wait preceding it. You won't find anything out of the norm here - that's fine for a diner honestly, but that doesn't make this place great. Beth's isn't usually a destination restaurant, but it could be if the conditions are right (ie: drunk). read more

First saw Beth's Cafe in Seattle, Washington featured on Man vs. Food several years ago. Told myself that one day I am going to visit that place. A few months ago, I finally had the opportunity to eat here. I always pictured Beth's Cafe to be in the heart of downtown Seattle. To my surprise, it was not. They are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It looks like a dive, and I like the place. Our friends took us here, and I was happy they did. I found street parking about a block away. We placed our name in the queue and waited outside for about 30 minutes for a table to be available for the 4 of us. Went inside, and it was much bigger than I imagined. We were brought to one of their back rooms. Beth's Cafe definitely has it's own unique charm and ambiance. All the walls were decorated with "artwork" from customers. Even the restroom was quite interesting. I thought about ordering Adam Richman's 12 Egg Challenge, but I decided to try something else instead. My wife and I shared some different items off their menu. Bacon Waffle was yummy! ( 4.25 stars) Pancakes with Strawberry topping was pretty good. ( 3.5 stars ) Hashbrowns were delicious. ( 4 stars ) Side of Fruit included pineapples, grapes, oranges, and cantaloupe. ( 4 stars ) Blueberry Muffin was also good. ( 3.75 stars ) Amish Bread was really good! ( 4.25 stars ) Would I return to Beth's Cafe? Yeah, I would like to return here in the future. Maybe, I'll have the guts to take up the 12 Egg Challenge next time. Ahh, who am I kidding. I would not dare to take up that challenge. read more

To earn 5 stars from me, you have to have a great atmosphere with great food worth it's price and wonderful staff. It has to be a place my family says, "We're coming back." The only place Beth's may fall short on the above order is the food is good. It may not be 5-star food. A friend recommended Beth's to me a month or so ago, and I've been wanting to go since. I received a couple more random recommendations for Beth's, but when I mentioned it to others, I also got some tepid "yeah, it's okay"s. Located in the Greenlake area, it's not very close to us so it's hard to get to if there is traffic for us. We headed off to Beth's on the Sunday evening before Memorial Day. It may be burger weekend, but we were in the mood for something else. Of course, we had breakfast food. We parked on the street in front. There were not many cars there, so we were not sure we were allowed to park there. The staff said it was fine or we could park in the lot out back. We opted to leave our car on the street, but it was good to know there's also a lot in the back. When we walked in, we were greeted immediately and with cheer. It was not yet busy, and we were seated in the next booth. We were served waters and brought a couple more sets of silverware for our family of 4. The server had to come by a couple times to get our order because it took all of us awhile to figure out what we wanted. We also were busy looking at the wall art and not thinking about our order. I liked the picture of the tardis, in particular, as Beth's feels like it is a couple decades ago, in a good way. My husband and son both ordered biscuits and gravy. My son was unsure about gravy on his eggs, so he ordered his eggs not under gravy. No problem. My daughter had the waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. I had the French toast with bacon & egg, and a chocolate milk shake. After ordering, my husband and son went off to the next room to play Lord of the Rings pinball. My daughter set about working on her own art to add to the wall. I asked a server and got a password to the wi-fi to play on my iPad. Gotta love a place with various forms of entertainment to distract you while you wait. I suppose we could have sat and chatted as a family. However, the music was a little loud, so chatting was not really a good option for us. The food came up fast! I was surprised. My daughter loved her Belgian waffle and was happy to see not only her strawberries and whipped cream but also powdered sugar. Both husband and son were happy with their biscuits and gravy. The scrambled eggs were very good, and the hash browns are also outstanding. My son did like the eggs in the gravy, so now he knows for next time. My French toast was okay. My husband makes amazing French toast, so I need to stop ordering it out. I used to get it all the time because I never got it at home, but now he'll make it for me about once a month. The bacon was delicious! Mmm...bacon! My egg was okay. I ordered it wrong for how I like them, so that's my fault. My chocolate shake was good. It was old-fashioned, not like the blended monstrosities one gets at McDonald's or many other places. The kids both had some and sung its praises. They were both disappointed they did not get shakes. Maybe next time. And there will be a next time. We will definitely be returning, even though it isn't convenient for us, which is another reason Beth's gets 5 stars. Interestingly, we almost moved to Greenlake rather than where we are now at when moving from Omaha to Seattle. And, as we drove out of the area, we saw the house we heavily considered - just down the street from Beth's and across from the lake. If we'd actually moved there, we would have found in Beth's our default locale for quick, good food when cooking just isn't in the cards. read more

Beth's Cafe - 12 egg omelette beast. - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went here from a friend's recommendation and arrived around noon. There was a line and putting our name down, we had to wait around 15 minutes. They had a seating area inside near the bathroom so we sat there to wait. It was also a Pokemon Go stop so there were drawn pictures of Pokemon from guests all over the wall. This kind of goes throughout the whole restaurant so make sure to look around. We ordered the 12 egg omelet which came with unlimited hash browns, 2 piece toast, and if you share, there's a sharing fee. Did a build your own with bacon, mushroom, and green peppers. The omelet itself was huge and eggs tasted really nice. Was a bit disappointed after that. There wasn't that much filling and the green peppers were still kinda raw which I wish they were cooked a bit more. Hash browns were typically oily and buttered up. Think it's an average place but has an interesting experience and feel to it. A once and done for me personally! read more

They charge you for everything and the food isn't even that great...THREE of us split ONE six-egg create your own omelette...$8 + $1.50 "sharing fee" (yes! sharing fee) + $5 fillings (mushroom, chili, onion) + $1.50 for amish bread (similar to carrot cake...not worth it) instead of toast + 2 orange juices and 1 sprite = $30....For ONE omelette, 3 drinks, and a piece of cake?!? RIDICULOUS. Looks like SOMEONE got a big head from being on TV. SMH. Okay, they have unlimited hash browns, but the hash browns are overly buttery and not worth the expense. The omelette itself was just okay, nothing special. It's cool that they have ppl's crayon artwork on the walls, but the place is not the business. Skip it! read more

Perfect hangover cure! I wouldn't visit "Beth's" on a regular basis but agree with it's reviews! Their portions are generous and the service is fast and friendly, definitely NOT for the slim and healthy! lol Beth's is perfect for the late night / early morning hangover. Serving up hearty portions of greasy food with loud music playing in the background. Little focus is spent on it's cleanliness and attention to detail but the food will definitely leave you full and ready for bed. read more

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

Alright, I've always thought Beth's Cafe was pretty nasty. It still kind of is. The omelettes are so huge, you can choose from the 6 or 12 egg. They have burgers and waffles and all the other breakfast items you can think of. It's pretty impressive how packed this place still is at like 5AM. I love their bacon waffle and find myself craving it here and there a lot actually. That's the only thing earning this a good couple stars. Although, how fast they are is pretty amazing. Brought my waffles out in like 3 minutes. Their service is okay. They rush around everywhere and tend to forget about people and getting some waters out or our orders taken after 10 minutes or so. Good drunk stop haha. When I say hole in the wall, this place is literally hole in the wall. The art on the walls bother me, because they get in the way of eating when you're in a tiny table with your other friends. They fall off the falls and stuff. Their bathroom by the arcades is DISGUSTING. Do they ever clean this mess? Seriously. It looks like an old rusted bathroom that desperatley needs new tiles and management. I swear, the waffles earned this the 3 stars and fast table and to go delivery. read more

I love greasy spoons - with the caveat that they have to do things right. Otherwise, they become a trash pit. This place is totally doing things right. Walk inside, and you're greeted with crayon drawings on every single wall. The selection is rotated out from time to time; you can tell because many of them have date stamps by the artists. Even the menus contain cover art drawn in crayon. It's a ridiculously awesome touch. There are also arcade games tucked in the back, providing another awesome bit of atmosphere. I've been here three times so far, and the service has been top-notch each time. Everybody from the guy behind the grill to the gal at the register have been friendly, upbeat, and doggone happy to be there. It's not an obnoxious kind of happy; it's a genuine sign that they like what they're doing. The food is standard diner fare, and while it sounds like that wouldn't be easy to mess up - these guys do a very good job with it. The eggs come out perfect - the bacon is thick and greasy good - and the hash browns are plentiful. The bill is exactly in line with what one would expect, and the options are pretty varied - especially for a greasy spoon. This place is perfect grease for a post Green Lake run. Right on. read more

Meh. That's all I can say about this place. I had "The Sampler", which is a biscuit with sausage gravy, 2 eggs, hash browns, and toast. The sausage gravy didn't have much taste, the hash browns were mushy and bland, and the eggs were...eggs. The pancakes I had were also disappointing. Think of frozen pancakes you can buy at costco and that's what you'll get at Beth's. Sitting in the restaurant was interesting. The walls were filled with crayon drawings from it's patrons. The service was helpful and the music was rocking. Too bad the food sub-par. Heavy on the grease and low on taste is all I can say. read more

We made our first late evening trek to our favorite eatery. This was the first time we ever had to wait to be seated. We weren't going to fret because we knew it would be worth the wait. We had to wait for ten minutes tops, and then were seated with a smile. Our whole reason for coming here is the POG. This is the only place I know of that serves it. Also, the friendship bread is so so good! For $2.99 you get a huge hunk of this luscious baked treat. For the main part of our meal we ordered The Full House Omlette -- six eggs is the perfect size to split amongst my son, husband and me. If you love hash browns, those are bottomless - I recommend a side of gravy to give those babies an extra boost of flavor. If you've never been before, you must come here and experience the joy and taste sensation that is Beth's. read more

I don't understand the hype at all. Ok, so they serve 12 egg omelets, and some pretentious dudes from the Travel Channel came here once. It's low quality diner food that doesn't even really taste very good. It's well known for how horrifyingly dirty it is. The service is hit or miss at best. It is what it is, which isn't much. Normally I would not have even gone or given it a second thought, but people seem way too attached to it. I guess it is another Seattle mystery for me. read more

Beth's Cafe... I have been hearing about this place for the longest time! I have even seen it featured in an episode of Man vs Food before and I thought to myself, I really have to try this place! Until one Saturday night in July after my tennis buddies and I came from Round 1, that we decided to come to this place! I remember I was really happy that this day was finally happening....that I was finally gonna go to Beth's Cafe! I remember this night really well because it was my last night in Washington before I went back to California for medical school. So we drove there... When we got there, I noticed right away that the place is definitely a late night spot because we had to wait for about 15mins in order to be seated. Once we were seated, I noticed that the place looked exactly like how I've seen it in pictures...with the drawings on the walls and the all...it was already living up to my expectations! Then comes the menu... It took me quite a while to look at the menu because there were so many things on the menu... That, and because I was distracted from all the creative drawings and what not on the walls but that's not the point. When it was time to order, I ordered one of the 6 eggs omelette they have with the ham and sausage and cheese inside with hashbrowns. it was nice because the hashbrown was unlimited, just as long as you finish it and if I can remember right, you're not allowed to share it... Then comes the waiting game...... About 20 minutes later, all of our orders came out and it was finally time to start eating! I was quite excited! I took my first bite...... It was good! And buttery... And greasy... Not up to par for me so far... I couldn't finish the whole thing. In my opinion, it was really greasy and heavy and the taste of butter in every bite was clouding my taste buds and that really killed my appetite. I probably only had about 10 bites and I gave it up... I'm not saying it wasn't good! The food was good! I just forgot about the fact that it's a greasy spoon type of restaurant and it's pretty much where people go late night in order to find remedy for drinking too much that night. But of course, you don't have to be drunk to come here...no! All I'm saying is that oily foods isn't my thing. I'm generally a healthy person and I like to eat healthy but this was definitely a treat for me! Still give it 3 stars for the EXPERIENCE! Although I didn't enjoy the food as much, I definitely enjoyed my first experience being able to go there before I left for med school. It was even better that I got to spend that night there with good company. I would definitely go back there and give the food a try again! I can maybe get something else less greasy or just share a plate with someone because the portions are huge!!! read more

Beth's Cafe - Definitely the biggest omelette I have ever had in my life! - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I can see why Beth's has become so popular in Seattle. Went on a busy Friday night (slash Saturday morning since it was after midnight), but we only had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table. I just got the plain old pancake and eggs, so it is a little difficult to rate this place just based on the food -- which was good, but I would have been just as happy as Denny's. I'd have to try something else more unique or Beth's-exclusive to give the place a higher rating. Nonetheless, I had a fun time here, the service was great, prices not too crazy, and the food hit the stop after a night of bar-hopping. Also didn't have to make the long voyage downtown or to Lynwood to get Denny's. read more

We heard about this place on Man vs Food, and it looked great, so we committed to giving it a try before we headed out of Seattle. What a perfect breakfast spot!! The service, is PERFECT for this type of place! The staff was very very friendly and responsive. They made one mistake -- bringing us an extra beverage by accident, and just left it on the table with a smile. The meals are so amazing. I had the corned beef hash, because I'm a sucker for corned beef hash. And this was the best I'd ever had. So full of spiced corned beef, with a few extra hits of herbs and spices that intrigued me. The whole meal was the right balance of stodgy, hearty, warm-your-soul goodness, and vibrant flavour and freshness. read more

Heard about this place from a friend who saw it on Man v. Food. If you are planning on going be prepared to wait a but for a table as the popularity is clear by its amount of reviews and consistent flow of customers. The food was good. Not great but good. It is classic diner style food with omelets being their speciality. These are not ordinary omelets however as they come in two sizes, six eggs or twelve. This makes for a ridiculously huge omelet, even the six, so be sure you bring your appetite when visiting. There are other options on the menu such as pancakes, biscuits, etc. but the omelets is where it's at. I personally ordered the cream cheese and smoked salmon omelet, otherwise known as the Northwestern. I have to say the smoked salmon inside the omelet was delicious but it was a bit over powering by the excessive amount of cream cheese. Me being a cream cheese lover I still thought it took over the dish. Despite my minor critiques I must say I finished the whole thing. The staff was busy but managed and the ambiance complemented the cafe style atmosphere. Overall I would recommend Beth's to anyone who has an endless appetite and is in the Greenlake Area. Worth a stop in. read more

Beth's cafe is a local spot right on Aurora Ave- and if you've been a seattlite for enough time you know Aurora Ave isn't the most glamorous place to be- which speaks to some of the ambiance of Beth's. I can't deny the service was excellent, the employees were very kind and attentive. The most impactful thing about Beth's is the art work inside. To the right of the kitchen, you'll find an intriguing display of crayon depictions of past patrons experiences with Beth's, and what the diner means to them. I became engrossed in a crayon illustration pasted on the bar near the kitchen. There was a menu next to it that advertised a special called Amish Friendship Bread, that resembled the plaques in museums that name the artist and descriptions of the pieces. I'll include a photo of the illustration below- it is unknown whether the plaque is accurate, naming the piece Amish Friendship Bread, or One is Enough- the text written next to the face of the baby-faced man forced into the fetal position in what looks to be an egg yolk. One can't help but think what the inspiration behind the piece truly is, whether it came from a place of defeat of defiance. Is 'one is enough' speaking to a mental break, or a mental break through of realizing you have the power to decide what is truly enough. I've left the diner now, we're on the way home, but we just can't help but continue to ponder the conversation piece. I feel like a changed woman. I highly recommend sitting to right of the kitchen, and pondering the illustration. As we all know, true art is up to interpretation. read more

Combine these two elements...Lots of drinking and a five egg soutwestern omelette(chili, sour cream and salsa) from Beths and you get a pleasant nights sleep free of hangovers. Its by far one of my favorite places to stop by with friends after a rowdy Friday night after Dicks burgers. The atmosphere is just fun, with a bunch of random drawings plastering the wall from floor to ceiling and a semi functional arcade. Its charming and memorable, so be sure to stop by this late night institution at least once if you're in Seattle. read more

What should this review be about? Breakfast i presume? and not that Beth's serves an overbearing amount of eggs and hashbrown on a pizza pan that can serve 2-3 grown men who's been starving for days. The breakfast/omelet itself.. if you actually eat for quality and taste.. is nothing special. There's no milky smooth break down when you eat the eggs. And the toppings inside don't burst out with flavor. As you may have heard from others.. its a good place to eat when you're really hungry.. or really hung over.. or just want to say you've been to Beth's to eat a 12 egg omelet, and have photos to prove it. The place itself? Looks like a motorcyclist hang out. Kinda torn down a bit, and looks a lot shady from the outside. Still.. I went. And I've got to say.. I've tried Beth's ;) read more

I think this place is popular just for their ginormous omelette's. my cousin had the triple bypass while I was on a hunt for some good country fried steak. The omelette, which I tasted, was delicious! definitely had 3 types of meat i believe... and it was HUGE! And it came with hash browns and toast. My CFS was good for the most part. I just could taste the butter all over the hash browns, and i ate about 75% of them... and I felt so disgusted after. I had scramble eggs with it, which tasted fine. The CFS didn't use a real steak, which was okay by me. The gravy was good, mosdef delish. The service was okay. We waited forever to ask for a takeout box, but the lady gave it to us when I finally came up to pay... The place looks... just like how you would imagine as you see it from the outside. It's not too spacious, but not too crowded. I like the drawings on the wall for sure. It is huge portions, I think prices are worth it. Just be aware of the butter. Otherwise, toast tasted GREAT with their jams. That was also on point. PS. They're open 24 hours... & I put the price range between $11-30 because half of the menu is below, and half is above... so I just choose the popular dishes w/ the prices... I might not go back, i'm not into the whole breakfast dining thing... but it's worth trying for sure! read more

Pretty much everyone else has said about this place: portion is generous and breakfast items are amazing. During lunch hour, expect at least 30 - 60 minutes wait time. You can also get the famous 12-egg omelette here! My friends and I were here and we also left our own marks on the wall! read more

A Seattle institution, Beth's Cafe is an amalgamation of Seattle chic, diner food, and dive status to achieve the single greatest 24 HR restaurant in the city. Regardless of the time of day, we find Beth's to suit our hunger needs. Don't forget about parking in the back! Street parking can be problematic at times, but there is a small lot in the back accessed by an alley. Today, we picked out Omelettes and enjoyed reading the new drawings on the walls. The food is tasty and easily customized, and the atmosphere is quintessential Seattle. The kind of place where you can talk shop, complain about work and life, and continue the party with late night food runs. Beth's is the best. read more

Beth's Cafe - I found this gem this morning. - American Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I would give this two stars for bad customer service but I'll settle for three stars since the food was good. For a party of six, we waited for an hour. While waiting I asked for a menu to look at and the hostess rudely pointed to the window and said to look at the menu taped there. 30 min of waiting, we asked how long til we were seated and she again rudely said "when a table is avail for your party". Finally got seated, cousin had her sanitizer on the table. After waitress took our order she was all you know sanitizer is bad for you. Really? We already know that but hey we have a 6 month old baby w/ us. Going to use it regardless! We ordered the Makin' Bacon six egg omelet. It was big enough to split between two people. It was delicious! Their blueberry muffin was so moist and fresh unlike greasy Otis spunkmeyer packaged muffins. Food was great but the wait and bad customer service is not worth it. Thanks but no thanks, Beth's Cafe. By the way, my cousin pulled out long brown hair from his 12 egg omelet. Also, as we were leaving, I heard the table next to us tell the waitress they found hair in their french toast. Nice to know they don't wear hair nets. read more

I'm usually all about "quality over quantity." Usually. But, there comes a time when you're utterly, out-of-your-mind famished... You reach that point of hunger when you know that everything and anything will pretty much taste the same. In these dire circumstances, gosh darn it, you just want the biggest bang for your buck. And, correct me if I'm mistaken, but I don't think it gets bigger or bang-y-er than a 12-egg omelet with unlimited hash browns and a toasted English muffin. Make that a Southwestern Exposure 12-egg omelet ($16)! Salsa, chili, cheddar, sour cream. Quantity, my friends. Now, if you're greedy like me, you're gonna want to add a short stack of pancakes ($5). Just two pancakes. Two bigger-than-your-face pancakes. It's already quite fluffy, soft, and buttery, but I pampered my pancakes with extra layers of butter and strawberry jam. Oh boy, that strawberry jam is something special. Alright, this review is getting long, but I'm totally in a the-more-the-merrier kinda mood. Next up is the baked potato ($4). It comes with butter, sour cream, and green onions. You can take this already-huge baked potato and layer on some of the chili and cheddar oozing out of your 12-egg omelet. Genius! Thankfully, I was with two equally hungry friends. Sometimes diner meals turn into a grease fest. But, not at Beth's. We all agreed that quality was not compromised by quantity. Mmmm what a great way to indulge~ OH, just one more thing... service is awesome, and your order comes out fast! read more

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

Inspiration for the visit- - -saw it on the 10 Best Places to Pig Out on the Travel Channel...hehehe!!! Something about a 12 EGG OMELET and ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT HASHBROWNS sparked our interest!!! The four of us dared to order just that and to our surprise...we only felt like PIGLETS! :) I guess when split between the group, it equated to about three eggs each. But if ordered and eaten by one person, it could be intimidating because it's served with the toast, eggs, and hashbrowns all piled on one big pizza pan. The eggs were good and the hashbrowns were yummy and crispy. We did take advantage of the ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT hashbrowns...when in Rome!!! :) The diner was an oldie, but goody and I'm sure has been there for years and years. The service was ok...I guess they're immune to tourists (like us) who oooh and awwwe at the fact that their restaurant was on the Travel Channel. Check out the all the drawings taped to their walls...not your typical 3 year old stick figure pictures either...artists in the making, afterall, we were in Seattle! read more
