Do not go to this restaurant if you are expecting a person to come to your table and take your order. It is order via app and every order is wrong and the person who begrudgingly brings it to your table could not care one iota if it is not what you intended to order. There was plenty of staff milling around but the app is the order king. This is not the famed J. Betski's of old. No German hospitality. Just a cold careless phone app. Ryan tried but but the app was all powerful. Technology can not replace human interactions but customers can be replaced by vacancies.

This place has the best burger I have ever eaten in my life. The Mushroom Pierogi Burger is unreal. If you go there and do not order it, you will regret it. Trust me. Everything on the menu is great, but that burger and those potato wedges better never come off the menu. We will absolutely be back. This is our fourth time eating here this month.

Henry was our bartender tonight. Super nice guy. We really enjoyed the warm conversation. Made the whole experience even better.

I am a big fan of pierogies and this was the only place around that I could find some, so I ordered some for pick up. I decided to order a burger as well (gorgonzola & shallot burger). The portion size was small for the pierogies $11 for 3 pierogies which is steep, but they were great. BUT the after thought burger i got was incredible! Definitely top 5 burger I've ever had. Overall epic meal, delicious

Love J Betski! Everything is always cooked to perfection. Staff are friendly and attentive. There’s a covered outdoor area with high top tables, which is enclosed and has heaters for cold weather days.

An absolute joy and a pillar of the community. If you’re reading this and on the fence, run, don’t walk, to this restaurant. For years and years this has been one of my favorite restaurants. I go here almost weekly and the staff have become a second family to me. The food is UN-MATCHED!

Very delicious food and excellent drink options. I was in Munich a month or two ago and the options were very similar to the local fare there.

I really wanted to like this place as it has so much potential. Soup was lackluster and way overpriced, schnitzel was good, deserts were just OK. Overall, a very expensive dining experience in a mediocre atmosphere and annoying/poor order experience that inhibited us talking to staff.

The food and service here are great! There were so many good menu items that we couldn’t choose - we will have to come back to try the rest. The salad with pickled lemon was amazing, as we the scallops and pierogies.

Food is always well prepared and tasty. Staff is welcoming and always attentive to our needs. Weekly specials email are a great marketing tool that gets us there often.

I happened to go on the same night as the Panthers wildcard game. Parking was horrendous. Not their fault, the sports bar nextdoor. But be aware if you're in the same boat. The food was good, not great. The prices were reasonable. A strange to me ordering system. No wait staff. Ordered online and the food was delivered VERY fast. There was an issue with the bill not being correct, but it was handled relatively quickly.

Quite literally, the most delicious and unique food and drinks at a single restaurant in Raleigh. Had the croquettes, pierogies, cheese spaetzle, shrimp cabbage rolls, and fried flounder dill sandwich. Well worth a trip.

It was just a bar with tables. The elevated menu and bar atmosphere did not mesh.
