I am specifically rating Beth's for their breakfast. I'll have to drop in for a different meal sometime to speak past breakfast. Beth's puts out a wonderful breakfast plate. Full Stop. If you are looking for something trendy or shi-shi, that isn't going to happen here. This is standard cafe breakfast, done to a high standard. The staff is super friendly, and the coffee flows in a constant river to your cup as well. The place is for sale, so hurry up and grab it if you have always dreamed of running a place with happy diners and a good reputation. read more

Open!! M-F 730a-2p, closed weekends Cash only! No plastic here. Options along this stretch were pretty limited, especially with rolling in between lunch/ dinner. We were thrilled to see and open sign, with Yelp showing they'd closed. It's true diner style with home cooked meal feel on the budget friendly end & daily specials on the menu board. I wouldn't expect remarkable food, exotic spices/herbs, complex flavors, fancy plating or stellar service. You will get stick to your ribs grub with plenty to fill you up (extra cost for splitting a plate- fyi) The cost for a milk shake seemed excessive. It was actually more expensive than the creamery, oddly. Everything else was beyond reasonable. read more

What a great home feeling spot. Food was so delish - will defiantly return if we are back in the area. Staff were so friendly and the customers as well. Very good food! read more

Beth's Twin Bluffs Cafe - 2 eggs - corned beef hash - potatoes and toast. $11.99 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nelson, Wisconsin

So yummy! We got the lunch special: creamy rice and chicken soup with a ham salad sandwich and I loved it. Another person in my party thought the soup was a bit too salty but ate it all nonetheless. The portions are pretty nice, a full bowl of soup (not a cup) and a whole sandwich (not a half like we were expecting for some reason). The overall menu had slimmer pickings but the lunch specials seemed to be where it was at. After we ordered they changed the soup lunch special to a new option that also looked fantastic. I do wish the second soup option was known before hand as I think another person in my party would've preferred that one. If I'm in the area ever again then I'll be coming back. read more

Beth's Twin Bluffs Cafe - creamy rice and chicken with ham salad sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nelson, Wisconsin

See all

We've eaten breakfast here two days in a row now, because there is basically nowhere else serving breakfast in 10 mile radius. The kitchen is a little slow due to lack of help (like everywhere), but at least they are open and the breakfast results are excellent. Traditional country/diner breakfast offerings. Prices are reasonable. Wait staff is very friendly, and hustle. Both versions of the stuffed hash browns are great. Excellent omelets as well. Don't forget to check the board for the specials, which we kept missing! Highly recommend for breakfast. read more

While in Alma for a weekend our bartender recommended Beth's as the best breakfast place around and she was not kidding! This place is your classic small town cafe except the service is really spectacular, the coffee is stronger than you'd expect, and it was packed! We tried the Stuffed Hashbrowns and the Biscuits and Gravy and both were awesome. They allowed us to swap out scrambled eggs in favor of over medium on both dishes. The prices were very reasonable and portions large but not overwhelming. If we are ever in the area again we will for sure be back! read more

I've been here several times over the years, and always a consistent experience of good food well prepared, generous portions at a very reasonable price! Liver and onions with bacon today!!' I'm a Fan! It's cash only but does have a Cash Machine in case you forget! read more

OMG if y of u are in this area this is the place to go for breakfast it was delicious

We love going to Beth's. All three of us get their Sunshine Burger for breakfast. It is phenomenal!!! The service is great. The staff are great. Definitely recommend it. read more

A tree in front of the restaurant and parking lot. They have a gift shop and a concrete patio very nice on a sunny day read more

Great place to go if you are a small party. If you are a party of 6 or more, plan on waiting a while. That's my only complaint! The business was Gang Busters! The food phenomenal for a small town in my opinion! I was passing through, as the restaurants in Alma were closed on Monday, and it was lunch time, so we had to double back. HOLY COW!!!! The fish was huge, and fantastic!!! Worth every penny! The grilled cheese came burnt a bit, but edible. The sloppy Joe was great! The ice cream sundae was out of this world! read more

Beth's Twin Bluffs Cafe - The walleye dinner! Wow!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nelson, Wisconsin

All we can say is: WOW! Rude from the minute we were greeted. One must have already had a difficult day by the way we were treated when we informed the old waitress ? Owner ? that the burgers were rancid. It was not the first time she had heard that by her behavior. The local gas station shared the same opinion of very "unfriendly establishment." Shame on you. Wisconsin expects better. read more

We had gone for a morning cruising from the twin cities. The day before we had looked for breakfast restaurants and this was the earliest one that opened in the area. At 6:30am! They offered patio seating and it was perfect for the morning. Great, fast and friendly service. They prefer cash but can go next door to the gift shop if you have card only. They were more than accommodating. Food was amazing. Definitely going again! read more

Beth's Twin Bluffs Cafe - Plate 1: Two Eggs, Bacon and toast Plate 2: One pancake Plate 3: Two eggs, hash browns, sausage and toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nelson, Wisconsin

This is the second time, we stopped here for lunch and wasn't disappointed in the service or the food. We found out it wasn't that far away for us, for repeat stops and will try for them. A nice friendly place to eat and relax. thank you. read more

Good food for a reasonable price. You will never go wrong with the French toast special!

Don't let 1970's decor dissuade you from eating here. We ate here two mornings in a row. I ordered the same thing. Stuffed hash browns filled with diced ham and scrambled egg. I think this area has the best hash browns in the world. Awesome. Service was fast and friendly. Very local place. It looks like some of the locals have been eating here 30 years plus...no kidding. read more

Beth's Twin Bluffs Cafe - Hash browns stuffed with eggs and cheddar cheese...awesome! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Nelson, Wisconsin

Wandered down to Beth's for lunch during an impromptu motorcycle tour of the region. If you'd like to get the picture in your mind, our riding gear is more astronaut than pirate. Our friendly server started listing the specials and we stopped her after one; the hot beef sandwich. Smothered with gravy and served with a fluffy, buttery scoop of mashed potatoes, it looked the part. And then we were offered creamed or grated horseradish; I was pretty liberal with mine and it really opened up the flavor. Finished the meal with righteous pie that was by all accounts homemade and locally sourced - I had the blueberry and my buddy had the rhubarb custard. Excellent on all accounts with a buttery, flaky crust and filling that was still bit tart and not the syrupy sweet mess you'll find at lesser establishments. One of the better small-town diner's I've patronized while wandering aimlessly around the Driftless Region, and certainly worth a stop if you have a predilection for well executed diner fare. read more

Small town friendly with excellent breakfast and outstanding service. Highly recommend.

Very cozy. Good "Grandma-style" food. Servers are friendly and service is fast. Been here a few times and would definitely visit again. Malts are amazzzzing and so are all the pastries. You can tell a lot of love goes into this food. read more

Lots of tables, server was super nice. Breakfast is not served past 11:00am on a Sunday which is a crime, and should be illegal. :(. Lunch menu was good, good variety. read more

Perfect breakfast stop on the Great River road! Our server, Pam, was excellent-friendly and attentive. Not a huge menu, but classic diner choices. My husband and I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy and eggs Benedict. The cinnamon roll was yummy as well. Have to pay at the gift shop if using a card. I wish I'd had more time to check it out. There were lots of cute decorative items and jewelry. read more

Best Kept Secret in this area, FANTASTIC FOOD AND SERVICE!!! The servers, the food and the price is like walking back in Time, but they seem to make it all work and the food and service is The Best We had in the area at 1/2 the price of others...! A Must see and go Eat at!!! Please We need to keep these Mom & Pop's places going for future generations:):):) read more

LOVE this place and the employees! So sweet. Fast service. GREAT homemade food! Breakfest here was great!!! We had 6+ people in our group and we didn't wait even 20 minutes for our brunch. Our server was sooooo sweet she made us feel like we were @ home. LOVED it. Very small town chic feels. I believe it's cash only though. read more

Location is quaint and picturesque. Staff are super friendly and prices are good. The food... not so much. Biscuits and Gravy is the specialty item. The biscuits were under cooked and soggy. The gravy is short on sausage and heavy on a flour paste Had a veggie omelet...very few veggies but very heavy on canned mushrooms... The other omelette of ham and cheese was too salty to finish Coffee is good! read more

Beth's has really changed. It used to be family friendly in all categories. We recently visited and ended up leaving shortly after being seated. The menu is WAY over priced for the area; it's Nelson, not the Twin Cities! The décor hasn't changed in the last 20yrs or more. Service is not what it used to be as well. Not especially a warm and fuzzy atmosphere for a grandma's living room facade (rather chilly/seemed unappreciated as a paying customer). I felt better received at the cheese factory across the street... Which is where my son and I had our lunch. Kudos to Nelson Cheese factory. Maybe will try Beth's again? read more

I haven't been back for awhile, but stopped with two of my Senior Citizens, and was pleasantly surprised they had fresh beef liver, mashed and gravy, bacon an onions, we ordered Medium and WoW, it's the best I've had in 25 years!!! Perfectly cooked, fresh not frozen, the onion and bacon was perfectly incorporated into the dish! The Special was $8.95.. included green beans, creamy slaw, mashed with a splendid beefy gravy on the mashed! It's illegal to put it on the Liver!! It's a true little Gem Cafe, Breakfasts are great.. Several of their Lunch specials are just that!! However, I'm not a huge fan of the Sandwich selection, they shine in the Blue Plate Specials!! read more

Excellent breakfast and at a great price. I had a veggie omelette with hash browns and shared an enormous pancake. Friendly and quick service. No cards accepted but they have an ATM if you need. Good food at a great price. Will be back again! read more

Rude is all I can say. If I could give a zero star I would. I would avoid place at all cost!! Stopped in for lunch and had a burger. Burger tasted wrong and smelled odd. Everyone at table agreed smelled wrong. Told waitress (who happened to be the owner also) she instantly said that the burger was fine, fresh and they are open everyday so nothing could be wrong with burger. She returned again after taking my burger away and continued to argue that the burger was fine and fresh. Absolutely rude, she would have her say and walk away from table without hearing anything I had to say. Came back and threw our bill at the table. Went to another local establishment in town, in conversation my experience came up...the locals agreed with poor attitude and rudeness of the restaurant owners. Wow! This is what the world is coming too. Still cannot believe the rude customer service, shameful to treat any paying customer this way, even worse when it's the owner! Word of advice: do not stop at Beth's rude restaurant! read more

Our go to place whenever we are in this area as it is our kind of food! They don't take credit cards but you do have the option of using your card to pay in their gift shop. They also have an ATM machine. read more

I love going there the food is really good, waitress/waiters are really friendly. I would highly recommend this place to my family, friends. & visitord read more

On a long trip along the Mississippi river Beth's Twin Bluffs Cafe was exactly the break we needed. The food was hot, fast, and delicious. We stuck to breakfast but couldn't resist the pies as we saw them coming out of the kitchen. Our server, Megan, was a delight and kept the coffees fresh and a smile on our faces. I hope we find our way back there again someday. If you find yourself travelling the Mississippi and you're looking for a classic American diner, this is the place. read more

The folks working couldn't be more friendly but the food was bland. My friend ordered a chicken and biscuit dish from the menu pf daily specials but had to search for any sign of chicken. Green beans were tasteless and obviously directly from a can with no effort to improve them. My ham and cheese was ok but unfortunately my french fries were the highlight of the meal for us. The restaurant didn't accept plastic but we were invited to pay for our lunch at the gift shop next door. A bit odd we think. Food was a "1" while service was a "3." The overall experience was a "2" and a big disappointment for anyone looking for tasty homemade-style food in a rural setting. read more

A small midwest restaurant where the food is just food. Nothing wrong with it; nothing great about it. No alcohol and no Italian sodas, so instead of a healthy beer I ordered liquid junk food, a cola. Rude, untrained staff ran a small vacuum cleaner around the entire dining area as customers were eating. That's the reason for the single star; otherwise, two stars. read more

Always been happy with Beth's. It is a nice small town resturant with basic comfort food. The service, value and quality of food keep us coming back when we are in the area. read more

Food was good, nothing great. Not kid friendly at all.. No high chairs or boosters, no lids for kids drinks and they were served in a glass cup. Service was ok, server kept walking away while we were ordering. We ordered 2 of 5 drinks and she went to get those before letting us order the other 3. It was a bit dingy but I guess that's what an old diner feels like. I doubt I'll ever go back. read more

Typical greasy spoon, diner-esque breakfast spot. The decor is DATED! Think Grandma's living room, with wallpaper and collector plates displayed on the walls. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. Our breakfast food wasn't like OMG amazing!, but did the job of keeping us full until lunchtime! read more

They must have read Lana G's review or were we just lucky? The part "a small midwest restaurant " hasn't changed, but our waitress was excellent and the sesame crusted Mahi Mahi with pineapple salsa I had was much better than I expected. The ambient was straight up " supper club" and it was a busy Saturday night with local patrons. read more

Friendly service and delicious food. Nothing fancy, but definitely satisfying. Had the Spanish omelette and boyfriend had the biscuits and gravy. Both were yummy. If I lived in this area I would be a regular for sure. read more

Beth's twin bluff cafe is nice local eatery. The food was tasty with good sized portions. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The food came out quicker than expected and the special orders were correct. read more

The waitresses are very friendly. The owner Beth is not a nice person at all! The way she talks and treats her employees is very unprofessional! I don't see how she has made it 30 years in business! Very mean crabby lady! read more
