This is the first time we have eaten in J Betski's new location. It was exactly as expected. We enjoy he casual atmosphere, but very good food. Nice menu of German themed dishes with interesting specials. The service was attentive without being intrusive. We enjoyed it. Nice middle of week dining spot.

My mother and I stopped here for lunch, and we were so glad we did! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Our meals were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We especially appreciated how attentive and friendly our server was—they checked in just enough without being intrusive.

It was a really lovely experience and a perfect spot for a relaxing lunch together. We’ll definitely be back!

This place is amazing! Every bite of almost every dish is mouth watering amazing. I didn’t know you could make a pretzel taste that good. Highly recommend!

Lauren with Offline - Came here with a German friend and she was absolutely floored by how many dishes she recognized from home. We tried the oxtail pierogies and the jagerschnitzel and both were delicious! Hands down the best schnitzel I've ever had, and my friend said it was a tasty spin on a traditional dish. The pierogies were also very good and the sauce on them was stellar. The staff were all so helpful and friendly, too, and the food came out SO fast! We would absolutely come back here, with Offline or without!

The most underrated restaurant in Raleigh IMO! The menu is extensive and everything is made in house. Has a wonderful neighborhood friendly atmosphere and was welcoming. Dogs were allowed on the patio. Extensive wine list, great beer selection and just good food!

Really enjoyed the food. The flavors are deep, complex and next level. Not sure how you can make the simple ingredients of a pierogi taste to elevated. Fantastic! Overall, we liked it and the prices were reasonable but found the atmosphere lacking. It was cold and cavernous feeling in the main dining room. Also, though it does help to be able to pace yourself by ordering through the QR code and it eliminates having to wait for the server to check back to get another drink or the check, I still prefer a actual waiter at a higher end place.

Every single dish we ordered was exceptional. The pumpkin pierogi was to die for

The staff was wonderful, virtually no wait for the food, and lovely atmosphere

They use an online ordering system that is extremely easy to use and convenient, but I imagine could be frustrating to older clientele that prefer traditional ordering.

Wonderful experience for us however

Food was outstanding. Reasonable prices. Service seemed a bit rushed. We asked for time to enjoy our appetizers and the guy kept asking to take our orders. When someone finished eating they immediately cleared their plates, which made those of us still eating feel rushed.

The food here is delicious and gorgeous! We got the mushroom and cheese pierogis, the classic potato and cheese pierogis, the potato crisps (with tallow!) to start and all were tasty! The mushroom pierogis definitely a highlight. The special of the cinnamon ginger marinated pork chop was perfectly cooked with great additions to the plate - albeit not the recommendation I would give for those who want packed diverse flavor. The jagerschnitzel was 10/10. The staff were quick and funny, overall all people related things were great! It is a bit hot inside and there is a slight slope to the outdoor seating that make some chairs always a bit wobbly - just something to keep in mind if with older guests. Definitely will come again!

when it was at Seaboard was outstanding, now a tired menu with far short of authentic ethnic food, and fully uninspired service.

Food was good. Portions were extremely small for the price. I'm not talking about expensive items that usually are expensive, like scallops. I'm talking about pork. There is no service . You order and pay from your phone. It was very disappointing.

The restaurant has no service besides the hostess and someone bringing you the food. You order and pay from your phone. No one to help with questions. My food was good, but EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE for what it was. The portions in general were very small. I'm used to that for itens like lobster and scallops, for example, not for pork. The piece of pork meat that I got was a joke. Sides were also small. One dish is not enough to fill you up. And I'm a 5'2", 105 lb woman. My husband's dish was also small. It had excessive amount of cilantro. The whole experience was very disappointing.

As always, the food and service were amazing! Sat on the patio, ordered a few specials and had the best time!
