The steak was tender and melted on my tongue.. Mom had the 2 grilled chicken breasts and the same sides. It was perfectly cooked and she especially loved the biscuits that came with the meal. We added fried okra, a dish I grew up on. It was delish also. Our waitress was patient and answered my questions and made a few suggestions, one was the fried steak, great suggestion! There was so much to eat we have enough for a second meal. If you are anywhere near this little cafe, you should definitely pop in and eat some good vittles. The hamburgers looked mighty good too!

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of care into every dish. The inside (and outside) of the café is so cute and well-done -- bright, welcoming, and full of charm. We sat at the back table by the glass wall and loved the view. BUT... the service was a letdown. It's a seat-yourself place, which is fine, but we only saw our waitress three times: 1 When she brought our drinks 2 When she took our order 3 When she delivered our food That was it. No refills, no check, no follow-up -- while other tables (mostly locals) were getting consistent attention. We watched others getting drink refills, to-go boxes, and their checks brought to them... while we sat waiting and eventually had to go find someone ourselves. It definitely gave off a "locals only" vibe, and sadly, we felt overlooked. It was especially disappointing because we really wanted to love this place -- and we almost did. The food is , the atmosphere is beautiful, but the service just didn't match the quality of everything else. Would I recommend it? Yes -- for the food. Just be prepared that if you're not a regular, the experience might feel a bit cold. Hopefully, they work on that, because the place has serious potential!

Our server was sweet as could be and took really good care of us. Just up the road maybe 10/15 minutes from Fanning Springs, down a residential road that totally looks like driving to no where until you dead end into the restaurant. Prices are fair.

Pizza was hot and very fresh, and the cheesy garlic bread was to die for. The arugula on my pizza was excellent quality.

We were quoted a 30-minute wait for our pizza, but it ended up taking closer to 50 minutes. There also isn't a lot of seating, and the restaurant was absolutely packed, which made waiting a little uncomfortable. If you're not in a rush, I'd still recommend giving them a try because the quality of the food makes up for the longer wait. Just plan ahead, especially during busy times!

I've always kinda liked Bett's Big T but also used to have reservations about it. Back circa 2015,…read moreit was pretty run down, looked pretty grim honestly. I guess it began as a truck stop decades ago and then became solely a restaurant. Anyways, they have had a cosmetic refresh, painting the building, adding cute signage including some features explaining Bett's long history, and just made the dining rooms a down-home but clean and inviting place now. This goes a long way: I am all for hole-in-the-wall restaurants but you don't want a place to look dirty, either. Bett's no longer does. It looks comfortable and plain-spoken, honest, and home town now. The food has always been good. You get a menu dinner or daily special--things like chicken fried steak or liver and onions or fried mullet--and a choice of three sides. The sides range from mac-n-cheese and collards to normally a couple homemade desserts: the peach cobbler and strawberry cake both are not to be missed. Portions are generous. Their Friday and Saturday all-you-can-eat seafood dinner is also a real deal and good food. Red velvet cake, caramel cake, and lemon cake are hits too but less frequent in their menu appearances. Ford hook limas sometimes show up too, slowly cooked with bacon or ham and are awesome. The painting and general interior and exterior refresh really went a long ways with me to have greater confidence in Bett's. It's now easily a place I rank with some of the region's best country/Southern cooking restaurants.

We knew it was a renovated truck stop so we weren't expecting much decor as we walked into the messy dining room. However, I was still looking forward to a yummy homestyle meal. Unfortunately, from the sticky tables to the slow waitresses, the visit only went down from there. My daughters ordered the chicken fingers and boneless wings, and both were barely lukewarm and lacking flavor and proper chicken texture somehow. My husband ordered the patty melt, which was literally just that...a hamburger patty and some cheese melted on top on white bread. However, the star of the show was my liver and onions, a classic from my childhood. It doesn't take much to impress me with this classic meal though, and it didn't overweigh the slow service and filth of the restaurant. All of our tummies were a little bit upset after leaving, so we won't be visiting again.
