Food was amazing! Very quiet atmosphere!
The owner is super nice. Its a great place all in all. The food, service, and the environment
What a wonderful hidden gem! If you haven't been there, go! Personal service and home cooked meals. Went for breakfast and left satisfied. Will be going again!
We had the spinach and feta omelette, eggs Benedict, and a short stack of French toast. Everything was delicious. The service was attentive, but not too much and the prices were reasonable. A downtown gem.
Quiet little dinner with a lovely atmosphere, polite staff, and delicous food. My pancakes were fluffy and delicous, bacon was fresh and chewy with some crunch. My partners eggs and home fries were fresh and tasty, we both enjoyed the meal and atmosphere. A real rare dinner, not many hole in the wall dinners left around the area that have this level of service, and quality. Highly recommend.
Charming old school diner with breakfast, lunch and dinner standards. The prices are great and the portions large. The hostess/server was attentive and kind. Wonderful "go to" for comfort food. The neighborhood is easy to navigate and quiet for this little out of the way place. Oh and good coffee!
It's hard for me to know how to rate this experience because based on other reviews I believe this diner could have been a totally different experience on another day. We spent an hour and a half here for lunch, and only had food for the last 15 minutes of that time. They were extremely short staffed and only had one waitress with a lot of customers so I know she was doing her best and she did well at managing everything. I believe there was only one cook and one person to clear tables so I can't blame them for the slow service and I'm thankful we had lots of time to relax and enjoy the experience anyway. The food wasn't amazing and the fries were cold but it was decent and a good serving size. They don't accept credit cards but do accept Venmo, Cashapp and cash so there are good options for paying and the prices are extremely affordable, we payed $50 with tip for 4 people.
Today I went in with my partner, and we ordered the two Betty Boop special omelettes (Italian and combo omelets) assuming they would be relatively popular, considering it has their business name in the title of the entree. I hate to say this because the people were so nice and the decor was so adorable. I don’t like to write negative reviews for small businesses, but the food is definitely slacking and could use more attention; definitely room for improvement if these few things were fixed. Most emphasis on the freshness of the food. The lemon in my water was rotten, my mozzarella in my omelette tasted spoiled, and the breakfast potatoes had a vinegar taste (likely due to being old). All of these things are concerning, but most importantly people can get really sick from spoiled meat as the bacon had an old meat taste and my ham tasted sweet similar to a doughnut, (probably due to the breakdown of amino acids, which can produce a sweet taste if spoiled). The sausage and toast were amazing. Adding on, please continue to shoot high and pay attention to details in order to achieve the best, as this place has a lot of potential. For starters, the pancakes they are quite thick. Being a breakfast place having good pancakes is crucial. I found that letting the batter sit for 5 to 10 minutes makes them light and fluffy, using milk instead of water, toss some vanilla extract and cinnamon and people will talk about your pancakes for days. Caramelize the blueberries before you put them in the batter, will make a big difference. Ultimately, you should reinvest your money back into the business to attract more customers. Paying attention to details like fresh produce, and fresh food can flourish your business. The reason why I feel the need to say this is because this place truly is adorable and has a lot of potential considering it is Betty Boop. They’ve paid such great detail to interior design. It is hard to find places that have such good customer service and that is a very strong best selling point.
I hate to leave this local spot a negative review but feel I should let others know. I ordered the french toast and bacon- both of which tasted off. The french toast had a sour taste and it was inedible. It also seemed undercooked in the middle. It seemed like the batter had gone bad? Not sure if they were supposed to taste sour or if it had actually gone bad. Worst french toast ive ever had in my life. The whole restaurant also smelled like oil. Our servers were friendly but that was the only plus. The service was not even that good as no one came to check and ask how our food was even though we were the only people in the restaurant (another couple came in right before we left).
The whole restaurant needs to be cleaned. There were mouse turds on the syrup, the table cloth was dirty. My sister’s napkin that was wrapped around the cutlery had I think boogers on it. My other friend ordered a burger and fries and didn’t get his fries (but I ended up giving him mine because they tasted like old oil) when I asked for mustard it was frozen solid and had a weird consistency since it had been in a freezer I believe. The burger tasted freezer burnt and it smells like cigarette smoke inside the dining area.
Betty Boop Diner is normally our to go breakfast spot, but not anymore. They always forget things, and the home fries were burnt BURNT! So unprofessional. I am never ordering from here again. They where putting the burnt side down like they where covering it up. One side was not cooked at all, and the other side was burnt. Very unprofessional. If you want to eat a good breakfast. Please order from somewhere else.
