Have returned many times. The vibe is chill and the food is always good and priced fairly. Happy to be a neighbor.

Everything was perfect. Food was delicious. Went for breakfast the baked eggs were stellar. Breakfast taco was ok. Crab cake was good. Service was fantastic I look forward to try some dinners soon read more

The food wasn't what I expected. The fries were a tad bit overcooked, the hot honey chicken sandwich tasted like frank hot sauce was one of the ingredients, no hot honey. The chicken didn't taste fully done so I turned my camera glash on to see better. It looked cooked so I ate it.I enjoyed the side salad best. The service was fine. The ambiance was cool, not allowed and simple decor. I would go back to tastes the Mac, the Betty ceaser salad, the Mac, ans maybe something else. So for my experience of the food to day is a 3. read more

I landed on this gem when a neighborhood over. They have 2 floors and host a variety of cooking classes so my friend and I sat at the bar. I ordered one of the blue plate specials which came with a glass of wine and 1 of 4 dishes, I ordered steak frites, mashed potatoes & arugula salad. My friend ordered coco southern fried chicken sandwich with fries. Everything came out hot and Tasty. I liked the atmosphere, the bartender Chloe was great and knowledgeable about the menu since she has worked there 2.5 years and lives in the neighborhood. Looked like the classes were pretty popular, I did not make it downstairs. I thought the prices were reasonable and would go back for taster bar food. I took a bite of my friend's chicken sandwich and it's one of the best I've ever tried! They also have happy hour with drink specials 5-7 read more

Brunch! The Bloody Mary was a solid 8. Cld have used more than one olive and teeny lemon garnish. I got the English Breakfast, which is why I chose to try this restaurant, for my weekly Brunch. It was perfectly plated, but not hot at all. It wasnt even lukewarm. Had it been remotely warm, this would be four star rating. I had a generous side of grits, also not hot/warm, but enough for another meal. As others have said, the service is slow, so be prepared. The staff was gracious and I do like that music is not blasting so loudly you have to shout. read more

Betty is a gem in the neighborhood. I came for brunch around 11ish. There were plenty of tables and it's a chill, low key atmosphere. I got the full English, which brought me back to London immediately. Even with empty tables, the food does take awhile to come out. Definitely worth the wait but don't have time sensitive plans afterwards. read more

Betty - Grits--GET THEM. Full English--get this too. - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Visiting family in the Lower East Side, we were looking for a new place for breakfast. The reviews of Betty sounded good and we checked it out. Betty is located in a non descript location on Henry St, across for Gouveneur Hospital. Our server, Tulane, was wonderful. She from Ohio and loves living here. She suggested the buttermilk pancakes, they were definitely delicious. I was given real maple syrup which you didn't often get. I chose the cauliflower side on a beef is hummus. Also really tasty. My wife enjoyed the avocado toast with 2 eggs over easy. It was also delicious. The coffee was fresh and smooth, strong enough and not sour or bitter. The ambience is very comfortable,clean looking, looks sorta life a coffee shop. It's nice and quiet, you feel like you need to talk in a soft voice. Also a little dark but not too much. The only problem is that the layout is a bit long and narrow and on a cold day, the cold windy air blows in. This is a really nice place for breakfast and I highly recommend it! read more

Very interesting experience here. Popped in randomly for dinner. No reservation. No recommendation. Just Me, Jesus, and a Google Maps search. It's out of the way, one of the places I pass by all the time while on the way to The Dancer. The space is big. Very prison chic with grey walls and concrete floors. We were greeted after a few minutes with a passive wave and, "Sit anywhere you like." The space is a good size, so you can kind of choose the vibe you want. The day we came the front house was led by two young women. The menu is new American and in my opinion, reasonably priced. We got a spattering of small bites and three cocktails. The service was medium speed and they were very attentive. My only slight qualm was the waitress/bartender was serving sleeves that keep brushing over our food and table which was kind of off putting. She eventually took it off! The vibe is like very much Youth Club. Not entirely professional but not entirely a mess either. More like a lax kind of place with really good food. The food is phenomenal. I was really impressed. I definitely will be coming back. The drinks are kind of shit but she did make a really good tequila espresso. This is the kind of place you come for dinner. Forget the cocktails! I definitely look forward to coming back again. It was a funny experience and the food is slamming. read more

My boyfriend absolutely loves this place and for good reason. Kind of a hidden spot on a side street and we're happy it's never too busy to get a table. They have all day breakfast and great dinner options. I'm a sucker for their pancakes which are warm and fluffy. Their English breakfast is great and so is their betty be ready. It's a great spot for a date or to bring friends and their service was pretty good. The food does take a little long to come out but always worth the wait. read more

We had a change in plans and found Betty in the Lower East Side for our early lunch. I had a burger that came with a light green salad. Fries would have been an alternate accompaniment, but I was very happy to get this salad. I wished afterwards that I had opted for a double patty, as the burger was good. Service was good and prompt, as the place filled when it got closer to noon on a Friday. This was a neighborhood place that was surprisingly low in noise level, as my wife suggested I lower my voice. No tourists in sight. My wife was already looking ahead towards our return. read more

Came for brunch! Service was great, the servers came by often to check on us and were quite friendly. I ordered the baked eggs, it was basically shakshuka and tasted so good! It also came with buttered bread which was sooo good but another piece would've been good since the baked eggs were so saucy read more

Went to Betty for brunch on a Saturday morning. Got the Full English which was delicious, it might even have been better than a full English breakfast I had in London. It did take a while for our party's food to come out which was less than ideal and they had a cooking class going on at the same time which made the space a bit crowded and took away from our dining experience, but was overall a good experience. I'd return. read more

Always wonderful! My favorite is is the steak. It's cooked perfectly and the portion is just right.

Betty was a great find. It is a neighborhood gem with tasty dishes and cocktails. It was opened late which was great for us as we just flew in from the west coast and wanted a nice meal after a long day of travel. We had the fish green curry, henry street soft pretzel, sauteed shrimp and cauliflower. We paired our dishes with the William Seward's Basil Gimlet, Hot Toddy and Manhattan. Service was great, ambiance was definitely NYC chic and would definitely return to Betty's. read more

Fantastic value. Home style menus cooked with flair and attention. I can't recommend this enough.

The food was amazing, the wait for the food, slightly less amazing. This is a super cute establishment with a very home-y vibe. Service was very kind and fun. The shrimp n grits were so good! I will be back for that alone. Our drinks were fantastic as well. Someone in my party got a bagel with smoked salmon and it looked alright. She said it was good but it didn't come with many toppings other than the salmon it self. Unsure if I would recommend this item since there are better place in new york for a bagel. My only issue was the wait. Took a bit long to get our food and sit down after arriving. But the flavor made up for everything so i'll be back! read more

Are you ready for the 411? Here we go...stopped here to have lunch with friends to celebrate a birthday and was so disappointed. I have been here before and was not expecting what would occur today. We ordered our drinks and food at 12:15pm and did not get served the drinks...yes, I said the drinks meaning a sprite, ginger ale and matcha lemonade until 45 minutes later (approximately 12:52pm). They basically forgot about us. I had a 1:30pm so I had to leave my friends and since I was paying, I had to ask for the check. I was still annoyed because I was hungry and had no food to enjoy but paying for a check. In any case, I was asked how we enjoyed the food to which I replied, "I would not know since we did not get the food." He offered to comp our drinks and asked me if that would make us happy and my reply, with my witnesses present, was "I guess." In his next response I got he was not happy with my response because he basically asked me if comping it not enough, and again I had to reply, "I guess" and further add "I was not aware it was a Yes/No question. Here is the thing, why should I be happy you are taking off $6 off my approximately $95 check, when I still was not able to eat and had to go back to a meeting without eating lunch and had to get it to go which means I will probably not eat it for another few hours. $6 is not going to do anything for me but the fact that I cannot eat now for hours due to your workflow is my issue. The customer service and understanding could have been volumes better. While they indicated they were swamped; I will not allow a business to gaslight my feelings when they are in the wrong. As I said earlier, we have eaten there many times even bringing our managers there and dropping over $800 for the bill and the service was FAR better. As a Yelp elite, I rarely write poor reviews but even our favorite places have to know when they need to do better. The other server who felt he was too swamped to serve us our drinks could have alerted someone he needed help but to completely ignore us and then be like I forgot your drinks 45 minutes later started this whole downhill process. I hope this review will be helpful in Betty's looking at how they can do better, because it's not about the customer sometimes, it's how the business responds back to the customer's dissatisfaction and with that said it's not always about a comp! I still recommend people visit this location as it is a great spot otherwise. The food is delicious, especially the hangar steak, garlic shrimp and mac and cheese! read more

Very tasty breakfast! I wish they had the British baked beans is the only thing, but other that that is was very good. The buttered toast it came with was also great. Lots of families in the place, and I also noticed it was dog friendly. Nice restaurant with lots of interesting choices for breakfast. read more

This is a very nice little neighborhood restaurant for breakfast and for casual lunches and dinners. The staff is lovely. We visited twice- we didn't like the burgers that much at dinner but were very pleased with breakfast another day. It is really good to have a breakfast place in the neighborhood- its the only one of its kind here. read more

What a GREAT spot for Sunday brunch. We only waited a few minutes for a table, and could have (but didn't) sat at the bar, but there were a few bags on hooks, so we weren't sure if there were diners there already. Nonetheless, this spot is very cute. It's small, but doesn't feel cramped and the service is excellent. While the menu isn't overly complex, you can tell that the ingredients are really really good. The eggs just tasted better and their coffee was superb. I got the You Betty Be Ready, simply because I wanted pancakes and I did not regret my decision. They can also add in an avocado (sliced) if you like. The real star, I have to admit, was the mac-n-cheese. I don't know what it was about the cheese they used, but it was mouthwatering. Highly highly recommend that you order it. Can't wait to return here again! What a great find. read more

OMG! Why didn't I try this place sooner!?!?! I walk pass it almost everyday and always wanted to try this spot. I came here on 7/4 with my family. The server seems young and very chill. We grabbed our own menus. He never came back to ask how our food was or if we needed more water or coffee. Basically, we didn't get much service. It was all good because the food was great, which made up for it. The portions were perfect. I didn't feel heavy or disgusted. Everything on the menu was reasonably priced. The eggs, steak, sausage, pretty much everything was very tasty. Ingredients were fresh. The pretzel was freshly made. It was hot and fluffy. It was a little salty for my taste but my kids loved it. They love both the chocolate and garlic dip. The restaurant was bigger than I expected. Restroom was big and clean. Not the typical NYC restroom you would expect. The lights had a red shade, which I thought was odd for brunch time. Maybe more suitable for dinner in my opinion. There are other things on the menu that I wanted to try. I would definitely go back. It wasn't crowded or busy. Definitely a hidden gem! read more

Great food and great service. Fun little place for brunch. Coffee and juice were both tasty.

My shrimp and grits were so good! I mean what could go wrong when you serve something on a skillet? I loved the cheesy grits and the deliciously flavored shrimps. The place was very nicely decorated. The staff was friendly, and I think the owner even came out to talk to customers a couple of times. I would give them five stars if it wasn't for the cold breeze coming in every time someone opened the door. Try sitting further in to be more comfortable. I also appreciate that there were some street parking in this area. I will definitely be back for more! read more

I have had brunch at Betty-- very good. Last night I had dinner. I had the monkfish in a lemongrass sauce with bok choy & squash & a flavorful rice. The sauce was particularly delicious. However, I was disappointed with the amount of monkfish-- there needed to be more. Customer service was wonderful & there is outdoor seating as well as a beautifully decorated interior. read more

Food: 5/5 | Service: 2/5 | Experience: 3/5 I have been wanting to try this place for so long, but I had a very mixed experience. The food was great and came out hot, but the staff were hanging out in the back and rarely came out to check on our table. It took 1 hour for our food to come out after ordering and another 1 hour for the waiter to give us our check. We tried to get their attention in the back to get the check, but they could not hear us. For the price and the tastiness of the food, this place is awesome and worth the great reviews. I have read other reviews where people had a much better experience with their service so I would definitely come back another time and hope for a better experience. What we ordered: * breakfast special * steak-n-eggs Things to know: * was not crowded early afternoon on a weekend * good for small to medium sized groups * nice aesthetic Download menu from website: https://www.bettynewyork.com/ read more

Came for a weekday lunch with a friend. We knew they were new so we made reservations ahead of time. They were pretty empty at lunch and we were seated immediately. I got the Mac and cheese with chicken added and it was good, not great. The chicken didn't go well with the Mac and cheese flavor wise. Also one of us got pancakes and wasn't offered any syrup. I think they're still getting their feet under them and will figure that out. read more

We went early on Saturday evening, and the place is long and spacious, but very comfy. The menu is varied, and the fact that you can have breakfast or dinner all day is unique. We started with a soft pretzel with a mustard/cheese sauce. This was warm and fresh. My wife had the shrimp and grits and really enjoyed them, while I had the chicken pot pie and it was very tasty with the right amount of chicken and vegetables with a puff pastry crust. Both were served in little cast iron pans, so the dishes were nice and hot. The beverage menu is extensive but very fairly priced. We had a peach and berry compote with lavender ice cream. Oh, everything here is made in-house. There are so many yummy things on the menu that we will be back soon to try other things. We met the owners Danny & Abby the chef (very talented) who are very warm and nice. read more

What a cute place! Love the decor. We were here on a summer Monday for lunch, and we were shocked to be the only patrons. I ordered a quinoa salad, which was a bit small and not enough for a full meal. Our nephew ordered the chicken pot pie and loved it except for the large round onions. My husband had a corn chowder that he raved about all day. He also had a traditional smoked salmon bagel and liked it. We were happy to have found this restaurant. read more

I came here recently for the first time for a weekday lunch. It's a good menu, seems pretty varied, and I always like when places offer all-day breakfast instead of restricting it to certain hours.
