Betty's Cafe

Driving past St Joseph and saw all the good reviews at this place so we decided to have lunch there. Simple home style Cafe and it was pretty good. I like the small simple menu and they have different specials everyday. Very good prices too. I ordered the Taco Burger with fries and it was really good. Everything tasted nice and fresh and good quality food. I like the crinkle fries. Wife ordered the "special" which was ham and bean soup and it was above average good. Plus she got three small sides with it and all three were good (deviled eggs, macaroni salad and potato salads). My daughter ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich and it looked and tasted very good. We got there at 1:35pm and they close at 2pm. They were very nice and had no problem seating us with less than half hour of closing. The service was great and the waitress was very friendly. I highly recommend this place.

If you're hungry, traveling through St. Joseph, Missouri, and want simple comfort food at a good price, then stop at Betty's Cafe. It's a somewhat rough, aging diner. They accept cash only and are only open for breakfast and lunch (closing at 2 pm) The menu is extensive (including a lot of side dishes) and the portions are plentiful. Contrary to what their T-shirts say, they accommodate special requests. They have freshly made pies and desserts if you can get any before they're sold out.

A throwback to the days of the corner diner, Betty's is very popular. Bring your cash and arrive early, for seating is limited and they only take cash. Also arrive early because the daily pies don't last long. The food was good. The prices reasonable. The service a bit unprofessional, but friendly all things considered.

Stopped in for breakfast. Was not disappointed! Excellent service and great food. The pancakes here are really good, almost like wedding cake. I would highly recommend eating here, prices are really good too.

????????First time eating here and have to say in glad I stopped... It was literally just like Grandma's! Simple good belly filling food... If you haven't tried Betty's you don't know what your missing...
