Betty Jane's Bar & Grill

Top-tier for late night bar food. I have to say that this place really isn't my vibe or crowd save for the entrance that feels like you could be walking into an afterhours. I don't want to offend in elaborating more on that, it's just not my scene. I will say that in spite of that there's a lot of little things that surprised me the first time I went here. Lit candles on the tables on a Tuesday night. No upcharge for soda waters with cuts of lemon and lime. The waitress coming near the pool tables to let us know our food is ready. Putting up with my autistic friend's need for a dumb amount of sauces. The staff here are really nice and on their game. I've eaten here a good 5 times in the last month. The onion rings are perfection. The first time I had a corned beef sandwich and couldn't put my finger on what was elevating some bites to an extraordinary balance of flavor. I decided to try the super bizzare quesadilla they have featuring onion straws, bacon, slaw, and sriracha. The first time I ordered it the lady on the phone asked if I was sure I wanted everything on it lol. I took it as is and honestly it really slaps. I've had it a couple more times since. The burgers here are really excellent. The wings slap hard. There's an oddly unique flare to most food and I think that's really where they excel the most. I want more stuff like the quesadilla. I've only had one thing here short of excellent and that was the cheese curds. I'm not going to lie, the cheese curds are honestly bottom tier and more closely resemble okra bites from a you-buy we-fry than a good cheese curd. One bad menu item amidst an otherwise all-star cast is more than excusable. I haven't tried the desserts at all because honestly the price point on them is a bit ridiculous. I think they had like $10 elephant ears that recently got replaced with $9 fried oreos. Really, look at what Blufin in Grosse Pointe is doing for $6 with tempura friend oreos served in a gorgeous oblong heighted bowl with tons of ice cream, whipped cream, and raspberry melba sauce and tell me you've got them $3 beat (You definitely don't, but they're also guilty of price gouging on some of their appetizers though--$17 for a few nicely decorated wonton crackers.) Betty Janes is probably the best bar food in the area. Common staples are almost all uniquely elevated far beyond your expectations and the creative liberties taken are all more so treats than risky experiments having you wish you'd come across more unique concoctions on the menu. There may be a couple more untested items beyond the cheese curds that ought to be omitted, but I've yet to find a lack of quality in anything else. Desserts probably ought to not be so outrageously price gouged, but at least the costs for everything else are pretty fair to what's delivered.

This place is so underrated. Their food and service are so good! It looks and feels like your typical corner bar (not in a bad way). They have a little bit of everything on the menu. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, pizza, etc. Great seasonal cocktails too!! The salads are some of my favs. The burgers are always a win!

We had a time here in May 2024! My best friend, my cousins & I. We definitely ran up a tab & we adored out server/waitress! The food and music was great! The drinkssss... babyyy we came to drink . We'll be back.

This little place opened up a couple years ago and took it over from our neighborhood bar owner, Joe. The new owners have done a really great job on trying to rebrand it and the late afternoon. You can always see your regulars hanging out at the bar......it should be. their menu is fantastic. Be sure to try the bourbon sauce. You won't be disappointed.

I've been here a few times and it's a local hangout. I typically don't hang out by my house, but this is a fun little spot. They have a decent menu, staff are great, and I'm a little obsessed with the Gouda and Bacon Macaroni & Cheese bites! OMG.....I think about these little nuggets of gooey yumminess all the time. The appetizers are great and my friends always enjoy their meals. They also have darts. If you're looking for a simple spot to grab a drink, stop in!

Betty janes brunch is top notch & the girlies there will always take the best care of you!

Worst $16 Cobb Salad I've ever ordered anywhere. Cheese crumbles, onions, egg and avocado are nearly non-existent. Asked for no tomatoes, which was on the receipt and sure enough, tomatoes were on the salad (but thankfully as sparse as the rest of the ingredients). Previously had the fish at this establishment, which comes in triangles. It's hard to find any restaurant these days that takes pride in it's food and Betty Jane's just isn't worth the effort.

Open until midnight and dine-in available as well. Dark inside. Smells like smoke inside. First time being in a bar that stinks badly of old stale smoke inside. It's been smoke free bars since 2008 or so too. Can't say I have smelled a bar like this since 2008 either. The smell was giving me a headache. Taking a while to get in our order since we asked for a minute to look at the menu. We had planned to order a spicy chicken nachos, no bacon, Greek salad with grilled chicken, Cobb salad with grilled chicken. The waitress or bartender went to other tables, but didn't come to take our order. We took off, hungry and didn't want to wait any longer for someone to wait on us.

Great local place. "Blue Collar" as they said back in the day. Food is good! Service is great.

A friend of mine went with me to check out Betty Jane's as we enjoy finding excellent burgers at different places. The reviews for BJ's were really good so we went there to check it out for ourselves. I have to admit they were right on with the burgers! I like mine pink, not semi raw or overdone, which sometimes seems to be hard for restaurants to do, but mine turned out excellent! I had American cheese and sautéed mushrooms lettuce, tomato, and onion (I would skip the lettuce next time as that seemed wimpy) on it. They placed the cheese over the abundance of mushrooms (yum) so that they were not falling out all over the place. I cut the burger in half so that I could eat it but once you pick it up, you just don't set it back down! I also had the tater tots and they did the Cajun seasoning for me and they were very, very good as well, very crispy and full of flavor. The waitresses and the staff were very nice and attentive which is always a plus in my book. It is more of a bar type setting but well worth going if you want to check out a really good burger.
