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.

Bless their heart, they tried. We visit the area regularly and visited Bett's at the suggestion of…read morea friend. 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.

Upon entering, dirty tables everywhere and it was so hard to find a clean table to sit at. Dirty floors, dirty windows, buffet with people hovering over it while standing in line to pay their bill. It's ok to have an older restaurant but they must keep it clean! My husband never uses a straw, but he did today - scared the cup may be dirty...we know some folks that come here so we stayed because we just needed to see if it got better and why they come...it's a hard no! Long wait, extremely salty food, sad presentation of the food appearance. I had images of the kitchen in my head after seeing the front of the house. We've never been to Cross City - assuming it's a fishing town - which is cool but other than that, not much here. The pros - waitress was nice and seemed to like her job. I liked all the patriotic decorations. Well we were really hoping to like this establishment, but not for us, oh well, we came, we tasted, we saw, and now we move on.

Most of the food is fried, so I try very hard to be moderate with the fried food.

This is one of three primary local restaurants and you will learn quickly where the cowboys, hunters, loggers, fishermen and other regulars sit to talk.

We sat outside under the overhang, which was comfortable and enjoyable. One person ordered the huevos rancheros, while the other two had the avocado toast with feta cheese. Everything was delicious, and the portions were HUGE--so much food that I actually had to take someone home with me! One note for management: please don't wash the tables while guests are eating. I completely understand the importance of cleaning the tables, especially between customers, but the smell from the sponges and cleaning products was really unpleasant while we were trying to enjoy our meal. Maybe cleaning the tables before or after the dining period would help. Overall, a good meal, quick seating, friendly service, and very generous portions. We'll definitely be back! But please listen to my suggestion!

These days, when I am looking for new places to eat in the local-ish area, I have resorted to…read morelooking at maps to figure out where new places have appeared, or that I simply missed. Imagine my surprise when I found a diner in High Springs that I had never seen before or knew about. That is what Chompers Diner is all about in my book. I was very happy to see this place. It is open on days of the week that other places in town are not open, they provide a solid product, and that product comes at a more reasonable price. In this case I went for the double cheeseburger with fries, all the way of course. The burger is excellent... I had forgotten to ask for no mustard, but even so it was an excellent burger, and I went back a couple of weeks later to try it without the mustard and it was even better. The fries are most likely SysCo, but these days you are going to be hard-pressed to find a place that isn't serving fries from one of the big distributors, which is sad, but at least that particular product is pretty good. In terms of Chompers, I will be back to sample other things that they make. So far I have been pleasantly surprised with their food, and I will be back!

Chocolate Cake wasn't bad, butbwhat i believe to pineapple cake or something was very dry no flavor.

Three of us came here for an early dinner and were seated promptly…read more This was a small buffet dinner and had a salad bar, meats and veggies to choose from. The desserts were on a table in the back and were pre cut so I imagine they were dried out. I found an empty pan where there was supposed to have been a hot cobbler but it was not filled while we were there. The waitress was friendly and attentive. When I went up the first time there was no shrimp and I was very disappointed. I tried the fried chicken but it wasn't that good. The veggies I tried were good. Some were fresh and some were not. The second time I went up there was shrimp so I felt a lot better about the dinner. The shrimp were done well and the sauce I found was good. The atmosphere is homey/country and nothing fancy. I only saw tables but there was another room that I didn't go in so it might have had some other kind of seating. It's as expensive as the larger buffet's , even with a senior discount, which was a surprise. Tea is an extra charge, so I can't comment on that. I would give it another try if in the area again.
