Greasy spoon with traditional fare. My meal was fine (lunch sandwich) but the water in my coffee and ice water glass I asked for was HIGHLY questionable. "Oily" describes both examples. I usually give anyplace a second chance but not this one. Portsmouth Health Department would have shut this place long ago - no so in this town. read more

North Hampton, New Hampshire --- "Betty's Kitchen" is a pARTy Gods' find for sure! Noticed (& considered "Betty's Kitchen" on my 10 mile drive to Salisbury Beach & Hampton Beach in quest of "ma & pa" breakfast place ... ABSOLUTELY no eateries in my 20+ mile round trip south & back north again ... I eventually arrived back at "Betty's Kitchen", a eatery with everything I search for in a breakfast place!!! ... owner/operated, counter-seating, super-smiling server Laura, decades of history, along US Route 1, tasty-riffic New Hampshire sausage, & "even" a pepper-shaker that "peppers" (holes bigger than pepper)! Betty started with just a pass-thru food window in 1950 & it has grown, but I am sure Betty (who no longer here) is proud of having her name on the door ... #RunAwayBill #DUSATour2016 "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 05.25.16 read more

Great little diner. Large portions at a good price. All home made right in front of you. The staff is friendly and it feels like home! You won't walk away hungry or broke. read more

Classic New England Diners are some of my favorite places to eat, particularly on a Sunday like this where I had been out late Saturday and had a long drive ahead of me. I've been to many, many places like this in Maine, New Hampshire, and Connecticut, so while I really wanted to enjoy Betty's, the service and food both left something to be desired. Service was mostly friendly but quite slow; even on busy days (and even with parties of 6) I expect faster than 20+ minutes for food to arrive. The food that did arrive was about average, though the sausage gravy + biscuits were some of my least favorite anywhere. The gravy was runny, the sausage tasted like ground beef, and the biscuits were small and hard. My friends' meals were good sized but equally disappointing, with most nobody in our group (all of diner-lovers) giving any major kudos for the meal. read more

The food is great. Service varies from amazing to absolutely awful. One day a great waitress the next can be awful

If u fancy greasy American food thats the place to go. I am not kidding. The french toast and the blueberry pancakes are awesome. Very friendly staff! Also there is a interesting board where people sent postcards from all over the world. A very popular place! read more

I really enjoyed the place! I brought my parents here when they came to visit and they loved the place as well. It was very reasonably priced and they had some good food. The potatoes weren't my favorite, but I did enjoy the rest of it! I would definitely go back. read more

Great breakfast, I had the seafood omelette and it was very good. We also had the stuffed French toast which had strawberries, blueberries, and bananas topped with whipped cream. It was delicious. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Definitely a good place for breakfast read more

Today was our first visit to Betty's Kitchen. Upon entry we were immediately greeted with friendly faces and the overpowering smell of fresh cooked bacon. It took us a little while to decide what we wanted because everything in the menu looks amazing. Finally I settled on coffee and a bacon cheeseburger omelet with a side of hash and hollandaise sauce. It's safe to say I wasn't disappointed the food was expertly cooked. And our server Linda was very attentive. From the atmosphere to the staff to the perfect food everything was amazing and we will definitely be coming back. read more

Excellent food, have the eggs Benedict, definitely homemade hollandaise, yummy! Prices are reasonable and service is great. Pleasant and efficient. I think I found my new breakfast place read more

You want a killer breakfast AND amazing service? You need to go to Betty's Kitchen for all of your breakfast and brunch cravings. Let's start with the service; On point and simply wonderful. Everyone is so friendly and it almost feels like you are sitting in your kitchen with your family, The food? Well I had the Pigs In A Blanket; slightly spicey sausage wrapped in buttermilk pancakes. Oh my word, it was AWESOME. Pancakes were fluffy, sausage was crisp and the syrup was quite good. Way to go Betty's Kitchen!! I will most definitely be back! read more

Betty's rises head and shoulders above your average diner. Everything on the menu is scrumptious, from the New Hampshire omelette (with maple sausage) to the Polish breakfast (with kielbasa, eggs and hash browns). Even the corned beef hash was noticeably better than any I've had (and I've had lots) -- the waitress asked me if I wanted it crispy, so I didn't even have to tell her! Wait staff is friendly and accommodating (and they and the cooks seem to be 100% female based on our several visits). They deal with longtime regulars and summer tourists and everyone in between. Great people watching and a mellow, contented vibe prevails. One downfall: the coffee is just average diner coffee ... meh. Otherwise though, Betty's is sure to please! read more

This place was recommended by a friend. We loved it!! I had the Betty's Omelet and it was huge. All of the ingredients were fresh - real slices of tomato, fresh mushrooms, and the best bacon!! My daughter got one of the Benedicts and the waitress, who was super sweet and on top of everything, asked if she wanted a whole or half. Good thing she chose the half because it was the size of any other places whole portion. The homemade corn bread muffin was amazing too. I would definitely come back!!! Thank you for a top both breakfast with great friendly service!!!! read more

For your basic, 'Mom & Pop' type restaurant Betty's is the shot. We had breakfast here recently while getting our car serviced nearby. Homey, fast friendly service, and good food. That's what a restaurant experience is all about and Betty's Kitchen delivered. We'll be back long before time for the next oil change (our car, not Betty's). ;) read more

Fantastic breakfast. Came here with a co worker who is a regular at the restaurant. Seat yourself with plenty of counter booths and tables. I get the same thing regardless of where I go. French Toast with bacon and home fries. Delicious all around, service and price were awesome. Big portions! read more

I love this place for breakfast. My friends and I go here once a month for our girl's day out. But I have to confess, I've only eaten one thing here: eggs benny. We always get the eggs benny, and it's probably the best I've ever had anywhere. In fact, it's the gauge I use to judge other people's eggs benny. The decor is plain and nothing fancy. Service is good, friendly, and fast. They don't bother you if you want to sit and chat for an hour over your breakfast and coffee. The coffee is OK, and the price is right. read more

Betty's is the best breakfast diner in New England. I love the stuffed French toast which has strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices between the two slices of French toast and also on top of the stack. It is then smothered in whip cream sprinkled with brown sugar. Yum. A little girl at a table next to us asked her dad for desert after she finished her breakfast. He told her that they do not serve deserts for breakfast. She immediately looked at my meal and knew it was desert. read more

Betty's Kitchen - This desert for breakfast. It is called stuffed French toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North Hampton, New Hampshire

Great Breakfast, but I could do without the short, obese waitress with the 10th grade education expounding on her "research" on vaccines.

I can't say enough about this quaint little diner. Thank goodness our GPS was working enough to get us here! My bf had an omelette which he enjoyed, the coffee was hot and they kept it coming. I had two perfectly cooked eggs on rye toast and breakfast potatoes and it was all delish. The prices are what you would expect for a diner. The decor was nice, the place was clean and cozy. The women who were working during our visit were just the sweetest! My boyfriend and I were on vacation and they gave us some great local tips and suggestions of beaches before sending us on our way. We loved Betty's! read more

I went to Betty's for the first time in thirty years and it hasn't changed a bit. The food is just as good as I remembered it to be. My only complaint is they use Spic n' Span to clean off the tables and it leaves a strong odor. In the middle of my meal the bus person sprayed down 2 tables near us and it made the rest of our breakfast unpleasant. read more

I have driven past this place MANY times on my way to Kittery. I was hungry the other day and choose to stop here. I was greeted with a smile and sat at the counter. Coffee was offered and filled before I even looked at the menu. Ordered my normal order 2 OM, HF (well done), Bacon (Crisp), Wheat. Grill is in front of the counter so you can see the cook. there were several orders before mine but the food came in a reasonable time. Coffee was kept full (important to me). The food was cooked to order. Home fries needed a few doses of salt.... but did taste OK. The Bacon is thick cut and was really good! Prices are fair. Early bird specials (5-8 AM) are a steal. Kids breakfast is reasonable as well. They are open until 2 PM daily. I would certainly eat here again. read more

Traveling from NH to Maine, we were starving and decided to see what was in the area for breakfast. We drove up to Betty's Kitchen, where there were lots of outdoor tables with umbrellas. The service was prompt. The food was GREAT! I had the 2-2-2 breakfast: 2 pieces of bacon, 2 French toast and 2 eggs. My husband had a breakfast crepe with ham, asparagus and Bernaise on top, which was so big, he couldn't eat it all. Such a friendly place to eat and very Covid compliant. read more

We stopped by on a recommendation of a friend and were very happy we did. The specials looked and sounded very good. We trier the Lemon-blueberry French toast, what a treat. Very light but filling and not too sweet. We will have to try this place again for some other treats. Thank god for the crazy people that work there. read more

We found this place by accident as we were turning around. But glad we stopped we found everything delicious. Would gladly come back to visit again. read more

Doesn't look like much and the inside isn't necessarily the prettiest, but the food was so so so amazing. I have the Veggie Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was so rich and creamy, the best I have ever had. My girlfriend had french toast and she said it was the best she never had. Really a hidden gem, will absolutely be back read more

A quaint diner-type restaurant. Basic and simple menu (no Cajun-Japanese fusion to be found here). It's homestyle cooking done well. Homemade fries are a nice touch. The staff is super friendly and you are made to feel at home. read more

Our breakfast was piping hot! We had no wait and the waitress was very attentive and it was a good meal. Only reason not 5 stars is that it is a little pricey for breakfast! But all in all, good meal! read more

Been to betty's a few times and its just your average b'fast diner, nothing spectacular. If its a hot day don't expect to be inside & out of the heat, cause its almost as warm inside. Good for winter though. The food is good, hot to the table but nothing special compared to other dinners I have been too. read more

5 stars for sure!! Awesome bloody Mary's .. The Hash Smash II is one of my favs.. Get a grilled blueberry muffin on the side!! Some great specials daily too. Nothing beats Betty's!! read more

It is what it is a diner. Great food for breakfast and a lot of it. Yes everything is cooked on that 50 year old flattop but that's the way it should be. Regular old school home fries sitting on the grill crispin up no rosemary or other junk. Staff is great and Tim the cook is an amazing line cook just pumps it out. Love my Bettys at least once a week! read more

I've had high hopes four consecutive visits but have been let down all four times (and each progressively worse). My most recent visit I ordered the NH omelet which sounded delicious, in theory, but turned out to be a watery, unapologetic mess of an omelet. I've tried this place multiple times to let it live up to its rep (especially considering it's right down the road), but have decided on not giving it another chance. As my parents always say, it's not that I'm mad, I'm just disappointed. read more

This is so conveniently located for me, but after meeting a friend here once, I swore never to return. Not even worth going into details, but if you enjoy and appreciate good food, be afraid...be very afraid. read more

Very disappointed. Ordered the lobster roll - the lobster meat had been frozen - it had the watery flavor & tough texture that you expect when you get lobster outside of New England. Fries were excellent. Cole slaw was very heavy on the mayo. read more

Small hole in the wall! Excellent service and the food was delicious! Would come again!

Betty's is my favorite place to take people for breakfast. Great food, great staff, and a cozy atmosphere!

Great little place. Food was very good and the service was amazing. I got the New Hampshire omelette and my husband got the cinnamon roll pancakes both of our meals were great! I highly recommend this place if you want a good breakfast. read more

Went there this morning. As the only restaurant we've found in the area where one can actually order a cheeseburger early in the morning (I work nights) we found it extremely good. Cheeseburger was fantastic, fries were crisp and hot. Service was friendly and efficient. Cost was very reasonable. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is, I've only eaten there once. read more

Betty's is a straight ahead breakfast place. Nothing fancy. Nice people. Don't wear yourself out looking for the greatest breakfast every on Route 1. read more

Good solid new england comfort food. The service is good. The place is comfortable. And they know how to cook an egg. Perfect breakfast outing. But go early! read more

Great breakfast (and large portions), very friendly service, obviously a lot of regulars there (who were very friendly with us, obviously tourists). Even though it surprisingly large (compared to what it looks like from the road), it feels almost like eating at someone's home. read more
