Wow. And I mean that wow. We were blown away. Betty's lived up to the hype! We came here for brunch on a Saturday morning and got seated pretty quickly for 2 without a reservation. We got 2 blood Mary's which were top notch. Better than most brunch spots, you can tell they have perfected their bloody recipe! John K who I believe is also the bartender was our waiter and let me tell you, he is GOOD. We were very impressed with him. He's whipping up the most delicious drinks, keeping your coffee hot and topped off, and at your service with a very friendly and welcoming aura. We love him! The ambiance is lovely, very warm and cozy. And the food was A+. I finished my entire quesadilla and Matt finished his entire plate. We are definitely going to be returning here!

In this morning for breakfast. Absolutely fantastic. My classic breakfast was made to serve in less than five minutes. Excellent preparation, portions & presentation. Soft music in the background and natural sunlight. John was a great server too! Thank you as always for a great meal.

Yummy food from Betty's!

Brian was AWESOME this past weekend! He was friendly and gave amazing service! Our food was so so yummy (veggie burrito for me and French toast casserole for my companion). Bloody Mary and Mimosas were equally delish! So glad we came in for brunch!

Delicious, flavorful breakfast. Everything was seasoned well with layers of flavor. Coffee was good, service was quick.

I thought the food scene in Buffalo was all about the wings, but my trip to Betty's proved otherwise. I stopped by for brunch with my girlfriend. Since it was crowded, we took two empty seats at the bar. I was going to order breakfast food, but when I saw a meatloaf sandwich on the menu I couldn't resist ordering it. The meatloaf had BBQ sauce on it and the bread was a toasted rye. It was by far the best meatloaf sandwich I've ever tasted! The meatloaf was cooked perfectly. My girlfriend ordered the Cuban sandwich. It wasn't a pressed sandwich, so my first thought was that I made the better choice. But then I had a couple bites of her sandwich and was blown away yet again. It had the perfect ratios of all the meats and the toasted bread was better than the usual cuban sandwich bread. It may have been the best cuban sandwich I've tasted. Both sandwich choices were huge hits with our palates. The macaroni salad she got with her cuban was much better than my standard home fries. If I lived in Buffalo I'd be a regular at Betty's/

We came to Buffalo from Charlotte to see the Bills. Betty's was a recommendation from a friend in Buffalo. Let me tell you, the food and service were absolutely AMAZING!!! Give Betty's a try, you won't be disappointed!!

quiche from the brunch menu

This is my favorite local breaksfast spot in buffalo! I ordered the quiche from the brunch menu and it was gone in a couple minutes. On Sunday mornings when it's super busy, we try to sit at the bar. John is an amazing bartender. He's super friendly and is always checking up on us as well as everyone around us. All of the staff are super friendly too. This place gets busy really fast! We try to get there as soon as it opens on the weekends.

Okay I loved this place!! It was a cute house set up with lots of seating inside and outside. The workers were super kind and caring. The food was so good. I love how the menu is set up because there's not too many options to make you feel overwhelmed. The sausage links and the potatoes are a must have. Will definitely go here again!

Service is very important to my dining experience. John, our bartender/server was GREAT. He was personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. It was mid sunday morning so Betty's was jumping. Thats why we sat at the bar. My wife ordered a signature Grasshopper coffee topped with whipped cream. She thoroughly enjoyed it. For meals I had Mickey's Casserole and my wife had Eggs Benedict. My egg, bread, sausage, peppers and, cheese casserole portion was huge! It was a corner piece but even the edges weren't over cooked. I was very pleased. It came with seasoned home fries that were also tasty. My wife enjoyed her eggs Benedict as well. Eggs were poached just right allowing for the runny yolk she enjoys. Also served with home fries. Her portion was also generous. Even at the bar the seating was comfortable and I didn't feel squeezed in even with every seat around me occupied. All in all we had a very nice brunch experience. The only thing I noticed as a slight negative was the somewhat tattered condition of the main menu. It was still readable but definitely showing its age. We will definitely be coming back though!

Lovely place that makes you feel relaxed and invited. Enjoyed breakfast. I had biscuits & gravy the twist on this classic was so good. Also a Michelda!! I really enjoyed this spot.

Amazing service. John the bartender and waiter was whipping around with speed and care. He was extremely attentive. Food was yummy, standard American brunch food. They do have several vegan and vegetarian options: vegan sausage, tofu, smart balance, vegan cheese, oatmilk. All around worth it! Loud spot but very busy. Very casual and family friendly.

A delicious meal that I got two meals out of because I took half of it home, as it's a pretty large portion. Originally, I was given the wrong order that I couldn't have due to dietary restrictions, but the waitress was very kind and gave me the correct one, as well as taking it off of my bill. I really appreciated that! We got macarons as dessert and they were super yummy as well.

The other 1/2 was well done. The seasoning was very nice, but disappointed to have well done steak. Our waitress was nicely attentive, as was her assistant who kept our water glasses filled. The restaurant was quite busy, getting busier as we enjoyed our dinners. I am glad we had an early reservation. I might have missed this note on the menu or website, but there is a credit card usage surcharge. Luckily some of our party had enough cash. The guitar music was lovely, but our table was too close and conversation was a little difficult.

I was told those are only available during brunch -- totally fine, I get that certain specials have set times. However, I then tried to order the martini flight that was listed on the drink menu and was told that was seasonal and no longer available. That was a bit confusing, especially since it hadn't been removed. I also wasn't offered any alternative flavors or suggestions, which felt like a missed opportunity. I ended up ordering their standard espresso martini -- which they seem to pride themselves on -- but unfortunately it tasted burnt. It also appeared that the espresso isn't made fresh, as there was a bottle of espresso sitting on the bar. For a cocktail that really depends on quality espresso, that was disappointing. However my friend did try another cocktail off their drink menu and it was delicious. To finish our visit, I waited about 10 minutes just to get my check while the bartender was engaged in conversation with other bartenders. It made the experience feel inattentive and frustrating. The space itself has a cool vibe, but overall the experience fell short of expectations. I'd love to see more consistency between the menu, social media, and what's actually available, fresher preparation for a cocktail they promote so heavily, and more attentiveness at the bar.

I'll start off by saying that service was superb. Hailey, the bartender/server, was very sweet…read moreand attentive. The reason for the poor rating was the food. Bao buns: My mom ordered these because they were labeled GF, but she definitely should have mentioned that she has an intolerance to gluten, because the add on of "salt & pepper shrimp" is not GF (not indicated on menu). The shrimp had a crispy flour coating. Also the buns were much smaller than anticipated, so this appetizer does not work for a filling meal. Falley burger: Description sounded fantastic with the homemade chip dip and salt & pepper chips, but unfortunately both lacked in flavor. I honestly couldn't taste either and the chips were more of greasy potato slices. I'm not much of a pickle fan, but I'm glad they were on the burger to give it some taste. On a good note, there were plenty of fries. It was sad to see this place dead on a Thursday evening. We were the only ones dining in, had a few take-outs come through. They do have food/drink specials throughout the week and the cocktail drink menu looks fun. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things or perhaps it was an off-day in the kitchen.

I miss Cafe 59...and used to overlook the fact that potato wedges aren't included with the sandwiches, the falafel burger is always mushy in the middle, they don't include enough dressing with their salads...and things are sloppily prepared. I overlooked all of that because they use whole foods and the taste was decent. Fast forward to 2025, I've included a photo of a turkey burgundy sandwich with a small bag of Lay's (weird choice, but ok) and a pickle spear, which costs $17.25 before you even add tax or tip. What?? I totally get that costs are rising for everyone including restaurants, but this isn't in line with what you can get at other places, even on the same street. If you can't sell your original menu at reasonable prices anymore, then you need to adjust it. We won't be back.

Fun. The menu is pretty big for a bar, a mix of regular bar food and a bunch of other options. Our waitress was really friendly and told me the French onion soup is one of their popular items, so that got me excited. It came out fast and it was pretty good. The croutons were honestly my favorite part, super seasoned and actually had flavor. This was only my second time having French onion soup though and I'm still on the fence... it felt like it was missing something, or maybe I just don't get the hype yet lol My friend got the chicken broccoli alfredo and I got the cajun chicken linguine. The portions are HUGE, like you're definitely not leaving hungry. She said hers didn't have much flavor even after adding salt and pepper and was already planning how she was going to fix it at home. My chicken was a little burnt so it was dry and kind of messed with the flavor, but the pasta itself was good. I loved that they added a little bread to soak up the sauce. The huge portions made up for the bland flavors. Not even gonna lie, a few bites in my stomach said "absolutely not" which is no fault of theirs, 100% on me for going all in on dairy, so my friend ended up taking both meals home. Overall I'd recommend it if you like a bar vibe, big portions, and solid food. 8.3/10

The waitress was very down to earth and was well informed about the menu. She explained Mira had a small plate concept, they encourage to order a course from each section to share. I'm not going to lie, each dish was phenomenal!! No exaggeration!! And we were actually full afterwards. One friends ordered humus, I have never been a fan.
