    Customer art

    I always make an effort to come here whenever I'm in Seattle. We used to love coming here when we lived in Seattle and would bring friends and family visiting us. The place is exactly how I remembered it and the service is just as great. They're all very friendly and attentive. We usually get the 12 egg omelette and share it but now that I'm allergic to eggs I was forced to get something else. I ended up getting their Chicken and Waffles and let me just say that I was greatly disappointed. There's nothing extraordinary about the waffle and the chicken was so bland (it visibly looked like it was seasoned but was extremely bland). I'm glad they had some Cholula on the table because it really needed some flavor. I am also going to complain about the size of the piece of chicken that you get. For $22 you'd think you'd get more than one small piece (maybe slightly bigger than a chicken tender). I should've really gotten a picture but was too hungry to remember. If you're allergic to eggs I'd say skip the breakfast menu and order something from their lunch menu because nothing on their breakfast menu would provide you a balanced breakfast meal. The one thing I've always enjoyed is that they provide everyone with blank pieces of paper and crayons. I love seeing all the art on their walls. Some people are just so talented.

    You're  like there's  a popular diner here lol?

    Omg this place is a gem! Its old, the whole block its located in looks deserted, and the hole in the wall feel to it is exactly what makes the experience so cool. You have to get the Bypass omelette and share it. Its so huge and can feed 3-4 people easily. They give you all you can eat hash browns to! You have to get their homemade biscuit with it to. This place is an experience like no other.

    Good: service, late night hours, coffee Room for improvement: our entire meal was lacking salt and it feels like every tiny modification is an up charge. The vibe was casual and it was fun to chat with other patrons. Feels very welcoming no matter when you are craving food.

    12- Egg Omelette Challenge :)
    Adrian A.

    Egg Overdosed! My girl, friends and I went here to see me take down the famous Beth's Cafee 12 Egg Omelette Challenge :) The ambiance was great! As seen on TV from countless food shows, I expected drawings in the wall and the comfy environment it gives. Our servers are accommodating and encouraging for me to finish the challenge. However, it turns out there's no challenge and our server doesn't even knew about it, which is disappointing to say the least. But I didn't give any excuses and still tackle and devour that 12-egg omelette and sides for kicks! "Aren't ya'll entertained" lol. Honestly it was one of the best omelette I've recently ate. If it is not the sheer size of it, I would probably enjoyed it. Overall, it's a solid breakfast place indeed :) PS: Please bring back the challenge.. I finished it in just less than 23 minutes.. I have pics to back it up lol

    My husband and son were going to Beth's so I tagged along. I had never been before and was so glad I went with them. First, our service was excellent. We went in at 9:30 or 10 pm so it was still very quiet. Our waiter was awesome and we had a lot of fun chatting with him and hearing his stories. The food was great. With breakfasts, you can get "refills" on the hash browns. While I could barely eat what was on my plate, my husband and son got multiple refills. Very clean, fun place. While we sat at the table we colored with crayons and paper our waiter gave us. All in all really great place. Great food and great people. Will be back soon!

    Breakfast with the family!!!

    I used to come here before Covid. It's changed a bit, no more drawing on the walls, but they do offer crayons and paper to put up on the wall. Portions seemed to be a little smaller then before but still a great place for breakfast. It's a little pricey but I still recommend.

    condiments and crayons

    Great atmosphere, Good food. Classic mom and pop breakfast spot. It was busy when we came in which is always a great sign. Seems like all the locals come here. We got the cheapest options- bagel and cream cheese and "mini breakfast". I would just say a lot of it is big portions with big prices, unless you know what to pick. They have omelettes with SIX or TWELVE eggs- we didnt try it. The hashbrowns were perfect and they are UNLIMITED hashbrowns. You are also able to color and put it on the wall.

    Lots of people waiting to eat, so the food must've delicious! Not much to see from the outside, and parking is scarce. We waited for about 25 mins outside before being seated. The staff were really nice and apologized for the long wait. Upon entering, I noticed all the hand drawn pictures on the walls. The customers are very creative and talented. One of my favorite pics was the drawing of the Phoenix hatching from the egg. It took a while for the food to come out but when we received it, it was nice and hot. Unless you have a big appetite, you could definitely share a plate. We ordered the ham and cheese omelette, veggie omelette and a side order of biscuits and gravy. I've never had marionberry jelly before and I'll stick to grape jelly. It wasn't my thing. This place has been featured on man vs food for their 12 egg omelette. Overall the place was good. The food was ok. Nothing spectacular. It was recommended by a local. If you're looking for local eats, it's a good stop.

    A family staple for breakfast lovers! We have been coming here for years now and have a spot for the grunge, authentic aesthetic! Bring your appetite and good manners :P

    Biscuits & Gravy
    Hannah W.

    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.

    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.

    Best damn coffee shop in the universe! Went there because I'm on a quest for the best hash browns in America. The search is over; Beth's wins! Crunchy and crispy outside, delicious. Guys that worked there were all very polite and on top of everything.

    Holli W.

    The girl waitresses were sweet, the male was -- not so much. Not a big deal though. When we went it was full of people and loud-ish which was nice bc we had kids with us. Food was alright, not bad, not great. VERY EXPENSIVE. Will probably not go back but worth going if you're looking to spend a pretty penny for average food.

    Review: Fantastic Late-Night Comfort Food & Stellar Service!…read more We had an absolutely fantastic experience at The 5 Point Café! The vibe was classic and welcoming, but what really made the night was the food and the outstanding service. Our group ordered a bit of everything: The 5 Point Burgers: Perfectly cooked, juicy, and hit the exact spot you want a classic diner burger to hit. Cheese and Bacon Burger: Packed with flavor, crispy bacon, and plenty of gooey cheese. Mac N Cheese: Rich, creamy, ultimate comfort food. Caesar Salads: Crisp, fresh, and a great balance to the heavy, delicious mains. What truly elevated our night, though, was our waiter. They were super nice, attentive, and went above and beyond for us. When our garlic bread came out a little too charred, they noticed right away and happily exchanged it for a fresh, perfectly toasted batch without us even having to make a fuss about it. Great food, iconic atmosphere, and top-tier service. We will definitely be back!

The short stack was $10.60 and a good size to share. You get a 3-stack portion, and the pancakes were fluffy and filling. The chocolate chip pancakes were even larger for $13.40, also served as a 3-stack. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and liked that they skip the English muffin so you really get to focus on the crab cake itself. I added avocado for an extra $4.25, and they gave a decent amount spread across both crab cakes. The crab cakes were cooked a little more than I would've preferred, so they had a crispier texture and taste than expected, but overall still flavorful. The side of hash browns was $7.20 and came in a decent portion. One thing to note: there's also a 5% service fee added to the bill. Overall, the portions are large, prices feel fair for Seattle, and it's a fun casual spot if you're looking for hearty brunch food with a tavern atmosphere. Service was great! Shoutout to Jenny for tending to our table, it was busy and she did a great job.

It's a little dark (window only on the street side), and it's seen better days. The staff seems friendly enough, but they are stretched thin, and it took a while for the server to take my order, then a while for the kitchen to actually produce it. The food was adequate, but nothing special: I had the Big Dipper breakfast & tea - in my case scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, hash browns, and a sausage patty. The hash browns were pretty standard, the scrambled eggs pretty standard, the sausage patty huge and greasy, and the two blueberry pancakes huge and very thick (a little heavy). It was a lot of food, more than I wanted to eat. They had a good variety of teas, but not the one I wanted (Earl Grey) so I settled for English Breakfast. There was nothing wrong with breakfast or the restaurant, but not much to get excited about either. I probably won't go back, but if I do, I'd expect the food to be adequate but not worth a special trip. Going out for breakfast is a pleasure, but when I pay restaurant prices for breakfast, I expect it to be a little more enjoyable than this was.

A tiny jar with a little whiskey (maybe 1oz) muddled with an orange slice, 2 Maraschino cherries, and simple syrup. It was overly sweet. Basically whisky infused fruit. Terrible value, I'd expect a lot more for the price. The Good Burger did not live up to its name. It was surprisingly dry (I ordered med rare, there was no pink). My girl friend ordered the chicken Caesar. The chicken was flavorless in dire need of seasoning. It also tasted soggy (like it was previously frozen).
