Now that this place is under new ownership, the difference is incredible! The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly some of the best we’ve had in a long time. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the overall experience. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was wonderful too. So glad we gave them another chance—We will definitely be back!

The 12oz Ribeye, fried okra, and the white beans were amazing! Many thanks to Babs for the fantastic service! We’ll be back soon.

This is an excellent family friendly home style restaurant. It gives the old fashioned mom & pop joint vibes with fast, friendly service.

We had an unpleasant visit at this restaurant. Yes the guys was a little loud but nothing outrageous. They watched us like we have killed someone so they judged us. Not somewhere I would like to eat at and the owner and employees judging us. The service was awful we had to wait a hour for our food !! The place wasn’t that busy for us to have to wait that long. The waitress was like scared to come to table. We just went out for a night to eat . Then as we leave we get pulled over after leaving. Unacceptable. The food was ok but I’ve had better for the price. But the way we was treated was not fair. We will definitely not be back. We did nothing wrong but try to have a good night. The customers was asking us if we was bikers and had a great conversation with them and the people outside . So if you wanna be judge this is the place . If not go somewhere else. And as an owner if the loudness and cussing was too much the owner should have approached our table and said to please keep it down. And if the waitress would have even came to us to make sure we didn’t need anything would have keep him from doing his actions. But like I said we was judged from when we walked in the door.

Hadn't been in a while since new ownership. Was curious if the food was still as good. Happy to say that it is!! Love the fish and shrimp dinner. Staff is so friendly and great.

I would strongly recommend avoiding this restaurant. We decided to give Betty’s another chance because it was a great spot about eight years ago, but it has been in a steady decline ever since. Unfortunately, nothing has improved—in fact, it’s worse than ever.
Our party of three arrived at 7:45 PM and they had already closed the main dining area. They tucked everyone into a back room where the staff was completely out of sight. Our waitress spent the night hanging out while we waited over 45 minutes for our food. When it finally arrived, the steaks were incredibly tough and poor quality.
The food is overpriced for what you get, and the service is nonexistent. Don’t waste your time or money here. Do yourself a favor and drive 10 minutes further to Texas Roadhouse; the prices, food, and service are all significantly better. You’ll regret eating here.

Wanted to support the new owners so headed to Betty’s. Ordered the 12 oz mushroom Swiss burger and there is no way it was even close to 12 oz before it was cooked. Tasted fine but they could have made it awesome by actually cooking 12 oz and serving it with melty Swiss and mushrooms falling off the sides onto the plate. At that price, it needs to be a huge burger. Server was very nice and she did a great job. Food took about 25 minutes to be served. If the food was more impressive it would be worth the wait. Just wasn’t worth the price.

Stopped in for lunch with a view. Food was great. Lunch specials were on point in price and taste. Excellent service. Only a few tables have a river view, but it it was worth the wait. 😀

Sat for 20 minutes in an empty restaurant and nobody would take my order.

I had a Mushroom Swiss burger and fries. Not every restaurant can prepare that even though they sell it. Betty’s never lets down!
