    Vegetarian omelette with hash-browns
    Payton H.

    Bette's Place is a charming, old-school breakfast joint. I came in at 9am on a Sunday and it was already almost full. I would recommend coming in as early as you can to snag a table. The service was welcoming and very attentive. I got the vegetarian omelette with hash browns and a pancake. It was quite a large portion, especially with the full sized pancake as a side. The omelette was stuffed full of nicely cooked veggies and a significant portion of fresh avocado. The hash browns were perfectly crispy. The pancake was pillowy, buttery, and soaked up the provided warm maple syrup in the most amazing way. I had a couple bites croissant breakfast sandwich, which was also delicious and flavorful.

    Inside seating, lots more on the other side!

    Visiting Hood River for the first time and decided breakfast all day was my option. Bette's place was close to the water and had good menu options. The meal was hearty but overall the flavor was bland. The country jack skillet was heavy (which I expected) but there was little seasoning throughout the dish. The veggie omelette was fresh and light but also lacked seasoning. The herb garlic on the potatoes provided a hint of taste without the salt. Staff was friendly and service was quick.

    Eggs Benedict w Salmon

    Food: 5/5 One of the best breakfast spots in the Hood River area. Got the salmon eggs benedict. Salmon was cooked great, and the eggs were the right consistency. Service: 5/5 Staff is patient and accommodating.

    Egg white omelette and hasbrowns

    This is one of the rare times I am writing about an American diner experience. Usually one would associate them with dry flavorless fare. That is until I had visited this place. Truly a quaint place with wholesome and delicious food options. I think I may have been deceived by the convenient, commercialized options. We'll now I know. I think when people say American breakfast - it should have well seasoned omelette options - fried, Benedict, omelette or may be just scrambled. Also included with side of fruits , hash browns or just potatoes. The omelettes to have different filling - isn't that capital! Bette's had all this where I could savor the unhurried hospitality and chefs skill both at same time. Quality first! You. An tell that the establishment care about the quality of food they serve. Service that immediately puts you at ease. Is this a five star rated place? No. Is this a Michelin star rated place? No. The reason I am speaking so much about this is because this is the base minimum of a restaurant. I feel that in the race of capitalism and the fast pace of life folks have forgotten what it is to be able to eat out and enjoy. What to expect from hospitality. If I could give 5 star ratings for the service and the professionalism to this establishment I would give it 10 times over. If this becomes the role model of American food experience, may be we hope to see more gastronomic choose to explore American fare. I am glad I chose to drive 5 mins to come and eat at a local breakfast place. We ordered 2 omeleetes, lemon French toast and a chorizo burrito. Normal stuff done great and with a lot of care. Taste on point. The only thing which took away from taste was the hash browns and the potatoes. Dry. Lemon French toast with mascarpone was a dream. Also everything that came out was fresh, the fruit was ripe as expected due to the local supply. The place had ample seating and was clean. There are a couple of dishes I would like to still try from their menu - the crab Benedict omelette, waffles, pies. Next time. If you are visiting Hood river I highly recommend you to go try this place. If nothing else it will help clear the dry, unappetizing opinion you might have of American food.

    Large and in charge cinnamon bun! You might have to put sweat pants on after eating it!

    This place is awesome. And though it looks small from the street there is more seating in back and in the hallway. The waitress was so nice and I LOVE they bring the food out as it is ready so that everyone's is fresh. Also love I got the @1 whivh is breakfast for lunch AND I got the Gluten-free biscuits with it, there were 2 huge biscuits. And they were so yummy, a touch if cinnamon. We would totally come back.

    We had a great breakfast at Bette's Place. Upon arriving, we were able to seat ourselves. Service was quick with us being offered drinks almost immediately. Once we were ready, our order was taken quickly. While we waited for food, we were offered a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was huge and large enough for our three person party to share. The menu had tons of options. It was so difficult to choose because so much of it looked good. The food was delicious, portion sizes large, and the service was good. Prices are good in relation to the amount of food you get. I would visit again!

    I read about this place in a oregon visitor's guide and it mentioned their plate-size cinnamon rolls but I didn't actually look it up beforehand so I pictured big but not GIGANTIC. My mouth literally dropped when they brought it out. This is one to share and only $6. The potions for their breakfasts were also big. And everything was delicious too. Wish I could teleport these cinnamon rolls back home. Service was also friendly and fast. Casual, comfort ambiance, great for breakfast in Hood River.

    i was kinda nervous when i walked in and saw the "self seating" sign as my usual experience is never getting served. however, the staff was super welcoming and the service was quick from ordering and receiving food! it was lovely of the staff to check in with us during our dining experience and was on top of it with the to go boxes! the dining setting was interesting! in the building, there was a suite designated to the restaurant and other suites for other businesses. there was dining within the restaurant and outside of the restaurant (but still in the building). i ordered the cinnamon french toast with scrambled eggs and ham. maple syrup and berry syrup was also provided - love the different options for syrups! i also got to try the eggs benedict with salmon and thats something im definitely ordering next time im here! 4/5 stars due to the cleanliness of the dining area, there were a few bugs/insects flying around during our meal

    South of the Gorge burger.
    Dale F.

    Great Diner. I had a South of the Gorge burger and my Mom and girlfriend had South of the Gorge salads. Really large salads and you will need to take some home in a box. Friendly and attentive servers. Laid back environment. Note: open only for breakfast and lunch until 2 pm. Good news is they serve the full menu all day, and the menu is large. They also have amazing homemade cinnamon rolls and huge maple bars (we took two to go) Love this place.

    Country skillet
    Tom K.

    We stopped in for breakfast today. I got the country skillet which was great. My wife had the eggs Benedict which was good. Our server Gabby was so sweet and funny that made the meal fun . The restaurant is cafe style. All in all a good meal.

    salmon and brie scramble
    Tay T.

    I stayed in Hood River for a family event this spring, and since our hotel didn't offer a free breakfast, I'd been scoping out potential places to go eat. Bette's was at the top of the list, and I'm so glad we ended up going. The smoked salmon and brie scramble had caught my eye on the online menu, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS. It wasn't too fishy, especially paired with the hashbrowns I got with it. The portion was massive, and I had plenty of leftovers to take home. It was almost better reheated, since the brie was able to melt a little more. Service was fast too, maybe because we were there after the main morning rush. I'm gonna have to go back sometime because there were at least 5 other things on the menu that also sounded amazing and I want to try them all!

Their beer flights come with 6 pours each and it's served in a tall sail (or sharkfin?) shaped tower, each choice is labeled so you know what you're drinking. Their burger with bacon tomato jam was a 10/10! So much flavor and the bun was fresh and lightly buttered and toasted (this really takes it up a notch!). The meat was very tender and lots of flavor (tasted high quality). It's served with a heaping order of fries (or you can upcharge it for $2 and do salad, soup or sweet potato fries). Their chicken wings were tender and came off the bones easily while still having crispy edges. Perfection. After a swim in the river across the street, this place is a chill spot for good food, beer and service. They have indoor seating with views and outdoor seating as well. Inside was nice and cool on a hot day. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

My husband has been here before but it was my first time. I was craving a burger and this place does not disappoint. The burger patty was thick and juicy and cooked to perfection. The cheddar cheese and bacon on the burger made it next level. My husband really enjoyed his burger and beer as well. When we arrived, there was indoor and outdoor seating available. We decided to sit inside, please be aware that it might be a bit cold depending where the air vent is located in conjunction to where you're sitting. The service was okay. My husband ordered his burger with bacon but it didn't come with bacon. However, we were charged for the bacon on his burger.

Split the St. Helens Burger, an order of fries, and a side salad with the recommended goat cheese (trust them--it was the right call). The burger was everything you want it to be. A fresh poppy seed bun, a perfectly cooked patty, sweet caramelized onions... and then came the poblano pepper. That little bit of smoky heat tied the whole thing together. Now let's talk about the fries because they deserve their own paragraph. These are, without question, my favorite fries. They arrived hot, crispy, perfectly golden, and had that satisfying crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one. If you're a fry person, these alone are worth the visit. The side salad was fresh and flavorful, and the creamy goat cheese took it from "just a side salad" to something I'd happily order again. It was the perfect balance to all those delicious fries. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers great food in a welcoming atmosphere, Kickstand Coffee should absolutely be on your list. We've yet to have a bad meal here, and it's one of those places we recommend without hesitation to friends, family, and anyone who asks where to eat. I now wish I didn't let my husband eat more of the fries. Gotta head back up there soon! Service was great and love that the girl at the counter asked me if I was doing anything fun today - extra friendliness goes a long way!
