Beth's Cafe

My friend took me here last week for a late night meal and it was such a great experience. It's got a really friendly, divey vibe that I look forward to with a diner experience: lunch counter, a view of the kitchen, and even drawings all over the walls.The staff was *super* attentive and made sure multiple times that we were cozy and the food was good (and the food WAS good). She got hot chocolate and a fresh baked cinnamon roll and I opted for biscuits and gravy after seeing on the menu that their biscuits are homemade.The cinnamon roll was melty, ooey, gooey, and enormous -- definitely more than enough for two people to share. The biscuits and gravy, similarly, were a large portion. The gravy was savory and creamy and the biscuit was flaky, buttery, and delicate just as a homemade biscuit should be. I will say the gravy to biscuit ratio was a bit heavy, but that's just personal preference.We also ordered some fries. They were simple diner fries. Next time i'm in town and we come here, I'll probably get hashbrowns / breakfast potatoes.

1/27/24My boyfriend and I ventured down to Beth's to change up our weekend breakfast routine. He used to frequent Beth's as a young, drunk man and wanted to introduce me to it.We arrived around 8:15am and had no trouble parking right out front or with being seated right away. I was relieved, because I had read reviews saying how busy Beth's is on the weekends.I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs over easy. Although the hash is house made, the corned beef comes from a can. It was a bit too salty, but still tasty. My eggs were perfectly cooked, but they were cold. I asked for extra crispy hashbrowns, and that's what I received. They were well-seasoned and perfectly crispy.My sweetheart chose the country fried steak. I took a couple bites and thought it was solid. He complained about the toast being nothing special.As far as setting goes, the place is an old dive, but it's clean. The walls are papered with kids' drawings, which I enjoyed. Be sure to dress in layers, or the draft might chill you.Service was excellent--friendly, quick, and attentive.

Yeah not a fan really. It's well-known in the Seattle area for its longevity, its approach to gluttony and being open 24/7 (well it will be again soon) but the food is nothing special and I hate the vibe here. I love greasy spoons but I'll take most of the alternatives in the Seattle area of this.Unless you're going somewhere with a more artisan approach to breakfast, it's hard to screw up the formula. Mostly you're looking for the flavors that are comforting to you and generally mostly diners can provide that. Beth's is fine in this regard although I've passed the age where quantity is main consideration so I don't really need to have 6 eggs as a minimum - I wonder how much food gets wasted here every year?My real issue is the interior of this place is basically just a bunch of paper plastered all over the walls. Compare this to other dumps like Hattie's Hat or Lost Lake and there's just zero comfort is this space. I don't want to chill here, I want to eat out of a trough and bail.Service is fine.

Beth's is exactly how I remembered it to be from seven years ago. You aren't necessarily coming here to be blown away by culinary excellence, but more for nostalgia. The walls are splashed with patrons artwork and just has an all around fun atmosphere. It's a Seattle staple and very diner-esque. You can't go wrong with bottom-less hash browns and omelets large enough to feed four.

Came on a Monday morning to avoid the line we saw over the weekend. We were able to get seated right away. Between the 2 of us, we shared 6 eggs southwestern exposure plus a side of country fried steak. Honestly, the omelette was enough for 2 of us because the portion was huge. With the addition of unlimited hash browns, I left the cafe with food coma. Everything was yummy. I would come back to try another omelette. Already missing the hash browns -- those were probably the best potatoes I had in a while. Friendly server.

It's good to have you back Beth's!! I've missed you so much. Fueled by late nights and nostalgia, I'll make every effort to come here and be comforted by the delicious breakfast foods. This time, just between the hours of 7am-2pm lol. So instead of degenerate drunken nights, just come here for hung over mornings. This is just simply the perfect Seattle staple and I was heartbroken to see them close for so long. From the bottomless hashbrowns to triple bypass, all your favorites are all back and taste just as good. There's still taped crayon sketches everywhere and it's virtually identical on the inside. Although the breakfast items aren't anything spectacular, it's just something that is so satisfying and hits the spot every single time. It's not a bad deal to just get a normal 6 egg omlette and share it for an extra 2 bucks. Just get a refill for the hash :) Sampler: Gettt!!This is usually my go to almost every time. The only thing this is missing is some meat but you can easily just get the country benedict instead if you'd rather have sausage patty than toast. I do recommend getting the hash extra crispy.

God damn... Beth's. Back in the early 2000's, I lived in Seattle, and plenty of debaucherous evenings ended in this place. Usually late, usually loud, and usually hammered... this place was a hoot!Well, on a recent trip to Seattle for work, I ended up finishing the job early and had some time to kill for breakfast. I wondered "are any of my favorite old haunts still open for breakfast?" (besides the Hurricane, which sadly is closed, RIP). I looked and was VERY pleasantly surprised to see Beth's is still kicking! I hadn't been here in almost 2 decades! It's still the same!Legit greasy spoon diner food. My server was a super chill and accommodating young gentleman who catered to all of my needs and requests... he was friendly, quick, and just generally welcoming. The decor was exactly the same, and I felt right at home. What a trip down memory lane... I love Beth's!!!

I expected a lot more when I came here. I should have read more reviews but that only takes you so far because everyone's taste is different. The minute I parked and stepped out and looked at Beth's, I knew it was going to be bad. It looks like a dump from the outside. It's in a bad location but that's where it's been for centuries. I will give them this, the staff is super friendly and they are on point. The food is just bad, I ordered the steak and eggs with hash browns and a short stack of pancakes. I know I'm not getting a prime cut of steak here, it was like eating beef jerky. I expected to have some fluffy pancakes but instead I got rubber tires, the butter knife I had wouldn't cut through them. The eggs and hash browns were the only things on my plate that were ok. The prices are outrageous for what you are getting, I paid $35 and that was including a tip that they most graciously add for you. You're better off going to Dennys or IHOP. Don't come here. It's not worth it.

So satisfying & filling. We were quickly seated for Sunday breakfast and staff was courteous & helpful to menu items. Omelettes are surprisingly large - made of either 6 or 12 eggs decorated with plentiful fillings. I got the Southwestern, an omelette filled with rich red bean chili. It was the star of the table (compared to breakfast burrito and triple bypass omelette). Omelettes are also served with all-you-can-eat hash browns. Beth's hashes are on the soggy side, but nothing sauce couldn't fix. For Omelettes, I definitely love these choices moreso than iHop. It is slightly more expensive, but the service and small local cafe vibe makes the experience worthwhile. Will definitely try more items next round!

Welcome back Beth's!A Seattle staple for a basic, solid breakfast with large portions. The waitstaff is cheerful and friendly, especially for an early rainy Sunday morning.No frills, clean and ready to make you your favorites. I went for a three-egg veg scramble with a monster-size biscuit. Coffee is refreshed promptly, and the traditional drawings are fresh on the walls. Please note the revised hours, limited to 7 - 3 daily. rantBack in the day, Beth's had Aardvark sauce on every table. It's a spicy habanero condiment that goes great on eggs and hashbrowns. They had to stop because people were stealing them.WTH people!?! If you can afford to eat out, buy your own bottle. Why would you steal from a restaurant? It ruins your experience and everyone else's./rant
