    Chicken and Waffles Breakfast
    Maria M.

    10/10 recommend. My finance and I were looking for food after a day at Niagara Falls Park. We were so hungry and wanted home cooked meals. saw Betty's on Yelp and so glad we stopped by. Customer service was good, serves checked in on us and even gave us complementary French toast. We had the chicken and waffles, it hit the spot!

    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.

    A most excellent breakfast

    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.

    In my opinion, very nice restaurant. Very clean The room was full but the noise level is very low. You could actually have a conversation The City market is located across the street so you'll have ample parking when you come here staff outstanding very polite Right on the ball The food was fresh. Well prepared. Took my order. about 25 minutes to get my lunch indicates to me that the meal was cooked fresh. I'll definitely come back their menu has definitely items on it that I must try

    Greek Omelette

    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!

    Broccoli & cheddar omelette

    This is exactly what they say it is: Great great grandma's recipes made with love by Grandma and mom! Served by beautiful kids who guided us to the unique chicken & waffles! WOW - party for the taste buds! We got it for the table so we could all try it! Omelettes were light and fluffy. Grits delicious! Oh - and Pops came over and talked football with us! Such a genuine soul. All good feels... highly recommend!

    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

    Chicken wings and Red velvet waffle

    Food was amazing! Definitely worth the wait. Hats off to grandma throwin down in the kitchen. I would fly all the way back from California again just to try the rest of the menu.

    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.

    Betty's

    Betty's was a quaint little spot with made from scratch, cooked to order food. The service was efficient and friendly. The complimentary beignets were a great surprise and delicious! Does not look like much from the outside but the food was excellent. Love the family atmosphere and story.

    Waffles
    Pierce B.

    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.

    A Santa animatronic

    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!

I ordered the Jamaican tea drink-so dressing and the Kingsley Street Fried Chicken dinner. The chicken was perfectly fried to perfection, the macaroni and cheese was cheesey, the yams were definitely what it means to be candied and the cornbread was warm with enough sweetness without being too sweet. I really enjoyed the ambience and hospitality here. I cannot convey how delicious this food is!!! This is in my top three restaurants to eat at now.

    Soul food has arrived to North Buffalo in a big way! Get the word out because I need them to stay!…read moreRestaurant is in the heart of North Buffalo, located on Hertel about two blocks from Parkside. Cute vibe inside. They do have a bar setup, but didn't appear it's used for alcohol. I was greeted as soon as I opened the door and was walking through. Being my first time, I did order a few didn't dishes, sides and desserts to try. There was NOT a bad dish. All the food was amazing. Great portions, tasty flavors and everything truly was cooked to perfection. I have given up talking about prices because let's be honest where can you go for cheap anymore. BUT I have to mention I got the Kinsley street fried chicken dinner, it comes with four prices chicken (half chicken, breast,leg,wing,and thigh) and two sides for 22.99, I felt this was actually a great price point and so worth it. Our next dish was the JP fish sandwhich and fries, again, the sandwhich was huge, the fish was seasoned and cooked to perfection! Fries were yummy. Next up was the TPs hot honey chicken sandwhich. Now I am over the hot honey chicken sandwhich as it's been done to death, but I still always feel the need to try eveyones hahaha, and glad I did another grand slam sandwhich! For the sides, I tried the Mac and cheese, pinto beans, collard greens and coleslaw. If you follow my reviews I am a Mac and cheese snob, don't think I order many that I liked, well thank you Heavens because the Mac and cheese was DELICIOUS!!! The Coleslaw was also top notch. I don't eat collard greens or pinto beans but my family told me they were good. They did not have desserts on the menu but I seen some on the counter, sooooo I order a slice of caramel cake, slice of sour cream cake and peach cobbler. Fat kid heaven they all were so good. Literally the best caramel cake since my mother in law! I felt like I just ate at my husband's family reunion. I had to go in and order, then I left ran to dash and came back in about 25 mins and my food was ready when I got back. So service was pretty fast. My only thing wish you could order on line first, parking is not the best in that area. Also Google has address as 1641 Hertel but it actually is 1633, not a big deal because same area but just a heads up.

As for the food, the chicken is always a hit. Incredibly flavorful, juicy, and well seasoned. However, the waffles haven't quite hit the mark for me. Across a few different tastings, they've tended to come out a bit charred and dry rather than fluffy and sweet. I think one side of the waffle always has been missing sauce. It might just be a personal preference because others seem to love them ! Either way I think it's worth giving it a try even for the chicken alone.

The flavors of everything blended to perfection for what it is! The cornbread tastes like cake instead of cornbread and fries could use a little salt unless they leave it up to the buyers discretion and can add salt and pepper on the side! They swapped out the slaw with Mac and cheese in which im very appreciative for that they were able to accommodate me for that which is beautiful customer service! Although I didn't get to see the restaurant, the food was not overly greasy nor did you taste the grease in the food and the haddock was not over fishy either! Def recommend!

    I really hate to leave a 1 star review, but I must be honest. I was so disappointed by this place…read more I had high hopes after seeing other reviews, but it just did not live up to the hype. I did takeout so not sure of the setup inside. I got a couple things to try, fingers with fries, and a steak hoagie. The hoagie was so dry. I mean the most driest hoagie I have ever had. It's not like it was super cheap, comparable to other places I guess. It was just not good. I asked for sauce on my fingers and got plain without anything to even dip them in. I would have been on if sauce was on the side, but nope nothing. Maybe when I went it was just and off day for them which I understand happens, but that was enough for me not to go back.

The whole place was decorated for Christmas with table decor and a tree. The food we ordered took a little while to prepare although there were only patrons at one other table, there was a steady take out business going on. My dining partner and I both ordered a rib dinner with hot sides: mac n cheese, greens, yams, hush puppies. The ribs had a sweet BBQ sauce, no heat to the taste and they were just warm, the greens were not super well seasoned and they also were not served hot. I had to add salt and hot sauce and asked if they could be heated up. The owner obliged and brought them back piping hot. The mac n cheese was very cheesy, however it lacked the depth of adding several types of, or at least a sharp cheese to it. The yams had a sweet seasoning with hints of ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg... We also ordered the fried chicken skins which came out freshly coated in a crunchy batter and fried crisp, they were served with hot sauce and Bleu cheese dressing. Very crunchalicious! The banana pudding was also very good... it was amped up with several types of cookie chunks, a cookie crust and cheesecake banana pudding...
