A Server came over and asked us right away if we would like to see menus and what we would like to drink. Our Server was very knowledgeable about all the different foods on the menu. Based on her recommendations, I had the fish Reuben and my husband had the Philly cheesesteak. We didn't have to wait very long for our food. Both our meals were delicious. The fries were outstanding. Our Server was very attentive making sure everything was our satisfaction. She also informed us of upcoming event events, and we're sure to return. The restaurant was very clean and the ambience was inviting.

I don't know about all of that, was pretty windy for bugs ...but whatever. The rest of our experience was unremarkable in a good way; I guess. Fish dips, okay. Low country boil was okay. Chicken sammy comes with melty cheese which isn't on the menu and the one of us who ordered it is terribly lactose intolerant; at least she liked the fries. Overall, okay.

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.

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.

You feel the peace that the waters and surrounded by oaks and nature. And there is a full bar outdoors as well The food was ok. We had clam chowder soup wasn't my favorite but had worse. And we ordered two appetizers escargot which I don't recommend it included 5 snails on top of a lot of small mushrooms and it wasn't seasoned well!! Hard to match my previous escargot plates in other restaurants. The other appetizer was gator bites. I liked that! For our main entree we shared a seafood combo but you had to choose from fried, boiled or blackened and we chose fried they couldn't accommodate having half the plate cooked a different way so was just too much fried seafood. The platter brings shrimp, white fish, scallops, à crab cake, and oysters. The shrimp were big and tasty, and the white fish was delicious scallops were also good but the rest not so much. It's hard to eat all fried and all seasoned the same except the crab cake ( a lot of veggies in it and not enough crab so you don't really eating à crab cake) I hope this helps
