They have very delicious food here. Betty's has great prices and great proportions! Never disappointed with anything at this small dinner.

Bettys is the best diner in the area. My boyfriend takes us every chance we get. I haven't had diner food this good since the Midwest!

This is our third time here. I ordered the steak tips once and hash smash twice. Neither plate disappointed at all. Their food is amazing and fast service considering how busy they are. Always order a side of cheese sauce if your plate doesn't include it. So good I swear they put crack in it! ;) read more

I have driven past Betty's Kitchen probably a thousand times during my long life here in the Seacoast, but never had the time to stop in. I was so excited to finally venture inside, to make it a Destination! Would Betty's be the most wonderful place ever? Would I be pissed at myself for not ever eating at Betty's before, pining for a hundred could-have-been breakfasts of yesterdays long since forgotten??? A homey little place like this can either be the Best Freakin Place in the World, or just a crappity crapshoot. I say it was somewhere in between. I ordered the veggie breakfast wrap: tons of perfectly cooked veggies (asparagus, mushrooms, broccoli, tomatoes, etc.) with a bit of scrambled eggs & cheddar inside a spinach tortilla, topped with hollandaise! I loved the filling & hollandaise, but there was something stale & weird about the spinach tortilla. I also got a grilled corn muffin & a side of cheddar cheese sauce. The corn muffin was FABULOUS!!! Not too sweet, wonderfully grilled, & served with extra pats of butter (YAY!). OK. On to: The Cheddar Cheese Sauce. I admit I've been spoiled by the delights of the smoked gouda cheese sauce at Eddie B's. I just kind of forgot that "cheese sauce" actually means "stuff in a can" in real life. And let me tell you, I am the first to order nuclear orange cheese food product on anything if I'm at a fair or the movies or whatever. I am NOT a snob!!! I have a special place in my heart (which will someday require a quadruple bypass) for all foodstuffs magically created from outer space. But Betty's menu features the Cheddar Cheese Sauce on several items, from benedicts to potatoes to burgers, so I thought it might be a house specialty of some sort. OK: it was a sci-fi gelatenous pile of barely warmed can-goo. But: guess what? I ate it!! And didn't mind! But, I am not a gal that leaves a side of cheese sauce half-eaten & so gather what you will. My friends seemed to mostly enjoy their food, but no one was raving about anything. I think what stumped me about Betty's is that I expected (& hoped for!!!) homemade, homey diner food, but some of it tasted like I-HOP. I wanted to find a grandma's kitchen, & in some ways it was. I loved the space, the waitress, the regulars! And yes, some of the food was really really good, but it fell flat in many places. But I can totally understand why Betty's has such a legion of regulars (like the cute little old man slurping soup that made me want to cry & hug & love!) & I would even BE a regular if it was in my neighborhood. I also wish I had ordered the chicken pot pie! Also, I would give 3 & a half if Yelp let me. So, in conclusion: good fare, great service & atmosphere, it will fill you up if not take you home. Also, I stopped by Eddie B's on the way home to get some takeout for my husband & was sad I just hadn't eaten at Eddie's instead!! Holy crap, Eddie B's. You ruined breakfast for everyplace else, ha! read more

another breakfast club outing. we head down. we looked at menu online and were psyched. we drove down on a cold rainy wed am..the parking lot was packed. some say a good sign.. we walked into busy male customer dominated place..kinda weird but he who cares. we were greeted quickly and showed seats..this place decor is advertising other peoples business. so maybe these are all working men and they support this place with regulars. super friendly waitress. and quick. very helpful. i ordered the lobster steak tip benedict. perfect amount of steak and lobster ratio. hollandaise was blah i am guessing mix add some salt or lemon or something..man i know making holly is a pain and time consuming but fix up the can style.. the homefries would have been good if they werent stone cold like steve austin. and covered in paparika to make me think they are cooked and ready to eat. you did not fool me line cook. i was taught that trick by an old super quick line cook. if the taters are cold and tasteless then it is not gonna fool my brain. my friend got pancakes and they were cold and so tuff you couldnt cut them with knife..luckily the waitress was wicked nice and gladly switched them out. my other friends had veggie wrap that comes with holly on top..huge portions. she liked it. she got a muffin with a side of cheese sauce. which was straight out of a ten pound can of nacho cheese. not even microwaved to warm it to dip..it was a surprise but we could have hanged if the shit was warm you gotta be kidding me..if the goddamn regal cinema workers can warm up nacho cheese so can an experienced diner. come on peeps. dont let us down.prices were reasonable. i gotta say bummed. you will love it if you like fast friendly eggs and toast breakfast. me i am a breakfast hater and want something to wow me. we are gonna try lunch and see how it goes. but honestly i still love eddie b's in portsmouth. and i wish i could have thrown up my breakfast and gone to eddies. life is too short to eat mediocre food. i cant help it. read more

Order the Irish Benedict- corned beef hash on corn bread with 2 poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. I was full for the rest of the day and it certainly wasn't healthy, but the combo of soft, sweet cornbread and salty hash was amazing and so worth it! read more

Went there recently with my brother and his gf. Having worked in food service for 15 years (more or less), I am always willing to give a small diner/restaurant a very little amount of slack. Not necessary in this case. Coffee brought to the table in a carafe; very appreciative (would have been better if my brother hadn't drained it all by himself!). Ordered the "Jumbo" - 2 eggs, 3 sausage links, home fries, toast, and 2 pancakes - everything outstanding! Very filling - couldn't finish the pancakes; the waitress suggested the next time I should order the french toast instead! Wait staff very friendly and helpful. I give only four stars because I feel that a 5 star rating is unattainable, but this is close! read more

I'm a local and have gone to Betty's for years, many, many times. But my last two visits have convinced me not to return-- that makes me sad, but I feel I have no other choice. Any restaurant that looks so obviously filthy, smells so bad, and is so airless cannot be serving food that's safe to eat. Outside the door reeks of old, wet mats and old, wet cigarette stubs. The inside reeks of old grease, dirty floor, unwashed kitchen. Ugh. Add to that the fact that the place is totally airless-- not a molecule of air is moving, and it's way too hot. Totally unpleasant. I still like the wait people, who are invariably friendly and efficient. But I just cannot patronize such a dirty place, not anymore. read more

10/16/14 @ 0812 hours. Stay away from this place, but if you do go in ask for any waitperson other than LINDA. On vacation in New England with 3 other people. Love to go to local places and contribute to the local economy every where I go. The restaurant was not that busy. Our waitperson, LINDA, was a total hag about where we sat. She took our order curtly, brought our food and threw down our bill and I promise we were not mean or anything to her. One of our party even had to go get condiments from the front counter for us. The waitperson was obviously expecting a large table of local business persons who showed up 20 minutes later and was a totally different person at their table. I guess she did not like outsiders. If I had not been with others who needed to eat I would have left when she first approached us. This is not a place you want to eat if you want courtesy. The food was ok, it is a small diner after all; but could be so much more, but the copious amounts of grease precluded me from eating much. The coffee was warm at least. read more
