    I always make an effort to come here whenever I'm in Seattle. We used to love coming here when we lived in Seattle and would bring friends and family visiting us. The place is exactly how I remembered it and the service is just as great. They're all very friendly and attentive. We usually get the 12 egg omelette and share it but now that I'm allergic to eggs I was forced to get something else. I ended up getting their Chicken and Waffles and let me just say that I was greatly disappointed. There's nothing extraordinary about the waffle and the chicken was so bland (it visibly looked like it was seasoned but was extremely bland). I'm glad they had some Cholula on the table because it really needed some flavor. I am also going to complain about the size of the piece of chicken that you get. For $22 you'd think you'd get more than one small piece (maybe slightly bigger than a chicken tender). I should've really gotten a picture but was too hungry to remember. If you're allergic to eggs I'd say skip the breakfast menu and order something from their lunch menu because nothing on their breakfast menu would provide you a balanced breakfast meal. The one thing I've always enjoyed is that they provide everyone with blank pieces of paper and crayons. I love seeing all the art on their walls. Some people are just so talented.

    You're  like there's  a popular diner here lol?

    Omg this place is a gem! Its old, the whole block its located in looks deserted, and the hole in the wall feel to it is exactly what makes the experience so cool. You have to get the Bypass omelette and share it. Its so huge and can feed 3-4 people easily. They give you all you can eat hash browns to! You have to get their homemade biscuit with it to. This place is an experience like no other.

    Good: service, late night hours, coffee Room for improvement: our entire meal was lacking salt and it feels like every tiny modification is an up charge. The vibe was casual and it was fun to chat with other patrons. Feels very welcoming no matter when you are craving food.

    12- Egg Omelette Challenge :)
    Adrian A.

    Egg Overdosed! My girl, friends and I went here to see me take down the famous Beth's Cafee 12 Egg Omelette Challenge :) The ambiance was great! As seen on TV from countless food shows, I expected drawings in the wall and the comfy environment it gives. Our servers are accommodating and encouraging for me to finish the challenge. However, it turns out there's no challenge and our server doesn't even knew about it, which is disappointing to say the least. But I didn't give any excuses and still tackle and devour that 12-egg omelette and sides for kicks! "Aren't ya'll entertained" lol. Honestly it was one of the best omelette I've recently ate. If it is not the sheer size of it, I would probably enjoyed it. Overall, it's a solid breakfast place indeed :) PS: Please bring back the challenge.. I finished it in just less than 23 minutes.. I have pics to back it up lol

    My husband and son were going to Beth's so I tagged along. I had never been before and was so glad I went with them. First, our service was excellent. We went in at 9:30 or 10 pm so it was still very quiet. Our waiter was awesome and we had a lot of fun chatting with him and hearing his stories. The food was great. With breakfasts, you can get "refills" on the hash browns. While I could barely eat what was on my plate, my husband and son got multiple refills. Very clean, fun place. While we sat at the table we colored with crayons and paper our waiter gave us. All in all really great place. Great food and great people. Will be back soon!

    I used to come here before Covid. It's changed a bit, no more drawing on the walls, but they do offer crayons and paper to put up on the wall. Portions seemed to be a little smaller then before but still a great place for breakfast. It's a little pricey but I still recommend.

    condiments and crayons

    Great atmosphere, Good food. Classic mom and pop breakfast spot. It was busy when we came in which is always a great sign. Seems like all the locals come here. We got the cheapest options- bagel and cream cheese and "mini breakfast". I would just say a lot of it is big portions with big prices, unless you know what to pick. They have omelettes with SIX or TWELVE eggs- we didnt try it. The hashbrowns were perfect and they are UNLIMITED hashbrowns. You are also able to color and put it on the wall.

    Lots of people waiting to eat, so the food must've delicious! Not much to see from the outside, and parking is scarce. We waited for about 25 mins outside before being seated. The staff were really nice and apologized for the long wait. Upon entering, I noticed all the hand drawn pictures on the walls. The customers are very creative and talented. One of my favorite pics was the drawing of the Phoenix hatching from the egg. It took a while for the food to come out but when we received it, it was nice and hot. Unless you have a big appetite, you could definitely share a plate. We ordered the ham and cheese omelette, veggie omelette and a side order of biscuits and gravy. I've never had marionberry jelly before and I'll stick to grape jelly. It wasn't my thing. This place has been featured on man vs food for their 12 egg omelette. Overall the place was good. The food was ok. Nothing spectacular. It was recommended by a local. If you're looking for local eats, it's a good stop.

    A family staple for breakfast lovers! We have been coming here for years now and have a spot for the grunge, authentic aesthetic! Bring your appetite and good manners :P

    Beth's is exactly how I remembered it to be from seven years ago. You aren't necessarily coming here to be blown away by culinary excellence, but more for nostalgia. The walls are splashed with patrons artwork and just has an all around fun atmosphere. It's a Seattle staple and very diner-esque. You can't go wrong with bottom-less hash browns and omelets large enough to feed four.

    Best damn coffee shop in the universe! Went there because I'm on a quest for the best hash browns in America. The search is over; Beth's wins! Crunchy and crispy outside, delicious. Guys that worked there were all very polite and on top of everything.

    The girl waitresses were sweet, the male was -- not so much. Not a big deal though. When we went it was full of people and loud-ish which was nice bc we had kids with us. Food was alright, not bad, not great. VERY EXPENSIVE. Will probably not go back but worth going if you're looking to spend a pretty penny for average food.

    My friend took me here last week for a late night meal and it was such a great experience. It's got a really friendly, divey vibe that I look forward to with a diner experience: lunch counter, a view of the kitchen, and even drawings all over the walls. The staff was *super* attentive and made sure multiple times that we were cozy and the food was good (and the food WAS good). She got hot chocolate and a fresh baked cinnamon roll and I opted for biscuits and gravy after seeing on the menu that their biscuits are homemade. The cinnamon roll was melty, ooey, gooey, and enormous -- definitely more than enough for two people to share. The biscuits and gravy, similarly, were a large portion. The gravy was savory and creamy and the biscuit was flaky, buttery, and delicate just as a homemade biscuit should be. I will say the gravy to biscuit ratio was a bit heavy, but that's just personal preference. We also ordered some fries. They were simple diner fries. Next time i'm in town and we come here, I'll probably get hashbrowns / breakfast potatoes.

    starting off, i was pleasantly surprised by the portion of sourdough bread given prior to the meal…read more- as I wasn't expecting that the bread wasn't anything special - but i did like the outside; found it to be pretty crispy. also, i liked the fact that they gave you butter as a dip, although it wasn't easy to spread it on the sourdough as it was just one big block i thought the main part of this dish, the salmon sliders, were quite good, however this came in three separate 'sliders', each with a base of rosemary bread, a sliced tomato, and a portion of salmon, topped with pesto the actual salmon itself was ok - personally i thought it was a bit stringy and chewy, but otherwise not bad. being brushed with oil certainly helped with the taste however, the other aspects of the slider were fantastic normally, i don't like tomatoes, but it fit really well with this dish. the flavor was there but not overpowering i also quite liked the pesto as a condiment - there was a solid amount on there - and it added a nutty texture that was good the best part of these sliders, however, was the rosemary bread. this was exquisitely good - it was crispy, herby, buttery, and served as an incredible base for the sandwich as a whole. i absolutely loved every bite of this the other thing that was a great touch was placing the sliders on the bottom of the bread rather than the 'more fluffy' side. this ensured that the bread wouldn't get soggy from the tomato/salmon and had it retain its crunchiness to the maximum three sliders was also a pretty good portion size another thing i enjoyed was the salad. a lot of places think that lots of dressing, often oil, is necessary to make a good salad, but this place managed to deliver something that tasted really good and had nice flavor with the use of little to no dressing. i'm impressed at the end of my meal, i got a carrot cake from the dessert menu this was decently sized, and the cream cheese frosting on this had a wonderful flavor i didn't taste the carrot as much in the inside of the cake, but i could tell it was still baked well, and the frosting added a great touch i would say its more of a cupcake than a cake, however i came during happy hour, so for the price of about $14, the sourdough bread + the salmon sliders were a pretty good value i can't say the same for the carrot cake - as while it was good - about 9 dollars is a little too expensive for that

    My family loves this Duke's location in Greenlake. There's limited parking in the back, but…read morehonestly, parking can be tough anywhere in Seattle, so we don't mind. We come here a few times a year specifically for their happy hour - the prices are a bit higher than other spots, but you're paying for sustainably caught seafood, so it makes sense. This visit, we ordered a variety of happy hour items to share across the table: the crabby deviled eggs, crab cakes, salmon sliders, Manila clams, fried shrimp, calamari, and a side Caesar salad. Their complimentary sourdough bread basket is always a hit, too. The staff here is consistently friendly and welcoming, and the service is great every time. We've always been seated pretty quickly, and their outdoor patio facing Greenlake is perfect in the warmer months. Always a reliable spot for good seafood and a relaxed atmosphere.

We even said something to them about the line assuming they didn't see and they said they'd told the host. I don't think the host realized what happened, but it started the experience off on a bad note. There were water cups but water wasn't filled until 30 minutes in when we asked. I got an iced tea with no sweetener. I had to ask and then it was a limited assortment and the sugar was chunky (old, exposed to water?). They were out of two of the vegetarian options: veggie patty for their burgers and the fried artichokes. We were there two hours after opening so it seemed odd that they were out already. Maybe they had a big party of vegetarians before us. Everyone felt incredibly stressed out and the atmosphere was chaotic. There was no proactive service. I had to flag people down to ask for water, sweetener, a refill. Everyone was rushing around and not paying attention to basics like empty drinks (even empty beers). They were definitely understaffed. The staff that were there were trying, but it affected the experience. The food was actually very good. The jerk cauliflower was tasty and the chicken parm sandwich was good according to my dining companion. Large portions and flavorful. I hesitate to write bad reviews and just attribute things to bad nights but this was definitely notable. I've wanted to try this place for a while but I wish we'd gone somewhere else.
