Got the pick 3 breakfast. Was pretty good. Would recommend for some diner food in Niagara Falls. Parking is questionable but we parked in the O'Reilly's parking lot and didn't have any issue. Would recommend this place. read more

Betty’s - Pick 3 Breakfast - Soul Food Near Me - Niagara Falls, New York

I felt at home visiting Betty's. The restaurant gave a warm cozy feeling. The decor was like walking into grandma house with the aroma of good homemade food cooking in the kitchen. The peach cobbler flavor was absolutely delicious, my only complaint was the texture of the crust. Service was absolutely amazing! We ordered chicken and waffles: chicken was delicious with the perfect amount of seasoning and the crunch was everything! The grits and fish was delicious as well, the fish was seasoned to perfection with that beautiful crunch I love! read more

We visited this place for brunch. It was packed. The food was good. The wait staff is friendly and service is prompt. I like my eggs over medium, bacon crispy not overdone, and potatoes well done. I came with a table full of people and all our orders were accurate. Def worth the stop. read more

Halley was a wonderful waitress, super friendly and couldn't have been more accommodating. Food was fresh made, we all had something different, I had a Reuben with fries, my husband had chicken and corn bread waffles, which he said were amazing. My friends had the French toast and steak and grits both were great! If you're looking for a home cooked meal with great service go to Betty's! read more

This is a family owned minority business. Granddaughter, mom and aunts and cousins all working together to keep the business running. This restaurant gives you a "home-like sensation", like waiting to eat at your grandmother's home. You receive French toast bites on the house as a starter. There are not many places that serve chicken wings with waffles...and I don't know why! Wings are better than boneless chicken. I did believe it needed more seasoning but otherwise a hearty meal. The cornbread waffles are also unique to this restaurant! The shrimp and grits was also good but a tad bit too oily (see photo). I love support small business! So glad I stumbled here on my way to Niagara. read more

A true hidden gem! We decided to find Betty's after reading the reviews on Yelp. Wow! What a find. We were greeted like family and it only got better. The restaurant is small and homey. It allowed us to have great conversations about the Buffalo Bills game coming up, and getting to know the family that owns Betty's. Grandma and auntie were in the kitchen and the daughter and nephew were out front. The Greek Omelette was absolutely the best I have ever eaten. The vegetables were perfectly sautéed and it was served pipping hot. Do let the out of the way location stop you from experiencing a family restaurant at its best! read more

We were visiting the area to take in the Packers vs Bills game and we always try to patronize local eateries. Let me tell you, we were NOT disappointed. The atmosphere is cozy and homey and the food is on point. My wife had the Belgian waffle and I had the meat lover's omelette and it was actually better than I make at home. It was fluffy and stocked with delicious sausage, ham, and bacon. I also had a side of grits which were excellent. The service was outstanding and if you want to support local businesses and have a phenomenal meal. This is the place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Found this spot on Yelp! It was close to Niagara Falls so a no brainer to stop and get lunch. Don't be dismayed by the parking. We actually parked in CVS parking lot without issue. Of course we didn't stay very long but long enough to get a delicious meal. A young nan was our waiter, he actually looked like a high schooler. He was very friendly and told us his favorite meal. He checked on us often but not enough to get on our nerves. We spoke with John I believe the husband of the owner. He too was very friendly and upon us leaving gave my hubby a comp bday gift The food was hot and delicious soul food and the he strawberry brownie was amazing. Thankful for a good meal, conversation and meeting friendly down to earth people. Try it out you will not be disappointed. Just remember the menu is not for the diet, gluten free person. It's fried and calorie filled delicious read more

Took forever to get the food and when we did we would give it a 3 out of 10. Got sick 10 mins after leaving and was wayyyyy overpriced. The waitress was a sweetheart but that was the only good thing about this place. read more

It's a great small little joint to stop by especially if you're touring around the Niagara Falls! I ordered a teriyaki rice bowl with beef and it was freshly cooked when I ordered it, she was super sweet in letting us try her families beignets as an appetizer and they're absolutely tasty! Service was very fast, staff was also in amazing spirits and was super nice and friendly towards us while serving us. Our waitress Hailey was super kind and absolutely an ethereal jewel to my family's lunch this afternoon. The atmosphere of the place is super cozy and cute! They have such cute christmas decorations especially their santa animatronic at the front. Definitely one of the best soul food places to stop by if you're a local or a tourist looking for local places to eat. 100/10 stars! read more

This place is your traditional old skool (school) mom & pop. Family-owned, young great-grandson is waiter (bless his heart), mom is in the kitchen, etc. etc. Food taste like my grandma put her "foot in it!" Prices are diner prices very cheap. But gave only 4 stars b/c it was sooooo slowww . Plus they forgot a few of our items. I would go again but don't go starving or in a rush b/c you are gonna wait. read more

Was afternoon. A delightful, cozy little place with a great homey feel. An apparent regular stopped by while we were eating and ordered something. Talked with one of the staff (?) who was watching some random documentary-sorta-thing on TV. Just people who know each other. So authentic and painfully delightful. We only ordered some waffles and the peach cobbler but it was worth the time and purchase. Yummy. I boxed my waffles and opened it in a hotel room later in the day -- could smell it yards away. A very tangential detail but there's something I really enjoy about our drinks coming with these huge ice cubes, as if they're straight from the fridge and plopped right out of a ice cube tray. Is it a common thing? I dunno, but it feels homey. read more

Real home cooking. Loved the grits with corned beef hash, scrambled eggs fluffy and delicious, and the fried chicken was perfect in every way. Cooked to order and so worth the wait. Family owned and fun conversation with grandpa who is a Bills fan. We're Jets fans. If you're in Niagara Falls NY, definitely go. read more

This was definitely a gem of a find during our vacation stop to Niagara Falls. Finding food in the touristy part of town was crowded and mediocre at best. So we decided to search for something outside the area. Don't let the outside and the area deter you. This happened to be in the Little Italy part of town. We were a large party of 7. After being out in the sun all day, stepping into a well cooled restaurant was such a relief. It definitely felt like we were stepping into a family home. Food takes awhile as items are cooked to order which we didn't mind at all. We were able to watch the Olympics with some family members there. We ordered the rib dinner with sides, fried catfish basket, loaded fries, chicken and waffles, fried chicken dinner, and shrimp baskets. Our sides included greens, Mac n cheese, black eyed peas, yams, and corn bread. We didn't have one item we did not like. Service was excellent and as business owners ourselves, my husband and I adored seeing family grandchildren at work. When we come back to Niagara Falls and to all our friends who visit, know we will definitely come back and recommend you check it out. Support small family businesses like these. Thank you Betty's for making this one of our favorite meals of this trip. read more

What a cozy restaurant this is! It's a family owned establishment and they make you feel right at home the moment you walk in. We had breakfast and everything was just so delicious. From the coffee to the complimentary sugared french toast bites, crisp bacon, and fluffy buttered pancakes and waffles. So much to say, you just have to come here yourself & support local. Also, love love how they already had festive Christmas decorations up. read more

Customer service: 5 stars: a young African American woman was waiting the whole restaurant. She was friendly. She was attentive. Food: 5 stars: don't let the outside or inside appearance fool you, the food was amazing! I don't think Betty can cook better than me lol but I did enjoy the food. Restaurant/location: 3 stars: its in small sketchy looking area, the restaurant is extremely dated, just be aware of your surroundings folks. Cleanliness: 3 stars: with a dated restaurant its hard to look impeccable. Price point: 3 stars: for the price the servings could be a tad larger. Overall: i would come back, the food was good and so was the service. Great job guys! read more

This is a tiny little place that I never would have found if it wasn't for Yelp. My husband and I stopped over night In Niagara Falls on the way home to Ohio from Massachusetts. We stayed at the Sheraton, so when I woke up I yelped breakfast spots and Betty's came up and we went. The staff was so nice and everything was made to order. We got the western omelettes, bacon, and home fries. When I say I've never had a more delicious , fluffier omelette...I mean!! It was so good and melted in your mouth. They also gave you a sample of their fried waffle while you waited for your food. Someone got the chicken and waffles and it looked soooo amazing and they were huge!! If we ever stop in that area again we will be eating breakfast there again!! read more

Welllll ... Betty's is a new soul food diner in town . I wanted to absolutely love this place , but I will have to settle for just loving the food , and also finding the staff to be very sweet and polite . My Spanish omelette was fantastic , and my partner loved her breakfast of eggs , toast and ham , though she did order bacon . The wait was minimally 1/2 hour to get our food so she rolled with the ham and found it to be very good . Coffee was a little thin for my taste but it was not by any means bad . The service was very friendly , not overly so , just laid back and very polite - no complaints here . The diner itself - well it is functional , no particular style ,looks a bit dated , but then again many diners do ! There were plenty of tables and they were well spaced apart . The biggest issue here , was the wait time . There was one other group of people in the diner . It took at least 30 minutes for our food to come out , this was unexpected and felt like forever ! Fortunately, the food was worth the wait , but I think speeding things up a bit here may be necessary . I am willing to venture a guess that everything is prepared with care and will taste great if you have the time to wait . I would definitely consider calling ahead to pick up an order , but I forgot to see if that was an option . Based on our meals alone - nearly 5 star . If you are in no particular hurry and want good fresh food , give them a try . I do hope to see this family do well ! read more

Oh my god. Miss Betty can I come to your house for thanksgiving? This food was soooo good. Peach cobbler was fresh out of the oven and whoever pulled it out sprinkled love and affection on top of it. Chicken and cornbread waffle. The cornbread waffle was a spin on the normal waffle that is paired for traditional chicken and waffles. It was sweet and flavorful. Suggestion! Mix the syrup and the hot sauce for a hot syrup. You will not regret it. The catfish dinner was so good, I subbed fries for Mac and greens. Sooo good. Hope you enjoy. read more

The American side of the Niagara falls really isn't the idea tourist place when you compare it to the Canadian side. There aren't ferris wheel rides, extravagant hotels with views nor blocks of restaurants to visit. However, there is this small family run diner that serves soul food with one of the cutest and best customer service experiences I've had. They really emphasize the family owned - placed by the entrance was looked like the uncle or grandpa, I was then greeted and waited upon by two grade school teens. We got the Fried Chicken, Shrimp and Grits, the Mac and Cheese and the Chicken and Waffles. I can't say any of it was the "best" of foods I've had, but they definitely hit the spot and satisfied my soul food craving. P.S The Lemonade was delicious! We were checked in on constantly, ensuring we had all the syrup we needed, all the water we needed and if there was anything else we wanted. If I were to ever visit Buffalo, this would be one stop I wouldn't dare miss, purely for the service and my desire to support this family owned business. read more

Wow, great atmosphere and delicious soul food. I ordered the fried chicken waffle breakfast, side of collard greens and an iced tea. My party ordered an array of dishes. My order was a stand out.

OMG! Every single bite was DELICIOUS. We got the Chicken & Waffles, French Toast, Grits, side of Greens and 2 eggs + coffee. The chicken was PERFECT. Light crust and very flavorful. French toast was PERFECT. Light and fluffy. Not too sweet. The greens were absolutely the best and probably better then the ones I've gotten in the south AND the coffee was really really good. Grits were yummy but do wish I had gotten the Shrimp & Grits (will next time for sure). All the food tasted as if fresh ingredients were used. Literally everything was good. Service was awesome and our waitress was so sweet. Even got to talk to "Uncle Billy" ! This is a MUST GO to place. read more
