    Beth's Cafe is awesome as usual. Always a classic place for good American food with very large portions. I still love the customer made drawings all over the walls. So many creative individuals have been here. We had a late breakfast today and an out of town guest who wanted a classic American diner breakfast experience. Our group of 5 had biscuits and gravy, eggs, hash browns (my fave), bacon, sausage and toast. Unlimited hash browns is always a plus. Everything was on point and our servers were attentive and frequent with the coffee refills. The food was yummy and the coffee hot. Not much more to ask for. I'll always bring out of town guests here and myself when I can. Please don't ever close! Give Beth's a try, you'll love it.

    3 chicken strips with tots for me, waffle fries and strips for my child

    This is just such a good, classic neighborhood diner. Today, we went off the lunch menu (chicken tenders and tots for me, chicken tenders and waffle fries with an Arnold Palmer for my child... if I were to do it again, I might have opted for the waffle fries - crispier than the tots, and well-seasoned). Solid and simple diner lunch options - burgers, patty melt, chicken tenders, grilled cheese, grilled ham and cheese. But Beth's seems much better known for its vast breakfast options. Pancakes, Belgian waffles, omelettes (including the monster 12-egg omelette). All tasty. I really need to come back here to try the cinnamon roll French toast.

    Not 24/7 anymore...they open at 7 am!!! June 2026

    Found o. Aurora...private parking behind the building and lots of street parking behind and on the sides of the block... Careful on the short sidewalk as cars a whizzing by. Parked in private lot in back and followed big sign pointing to walk thru small alley to front of building. No backdoor access (entry for workers only) This is a decades old institution that has been running with different owners for decades and known for their heart attack 12 egg omelet. Who in the right mind could eat all in one sitting?!! Yikes! Anyway walked thru front door and walls covered in local art works of paper and crayon drawings from customers. Counter seating, booths and tables. Big space. Server was friendly helpful and explained the menu when asked. So many choices. My friend just wanted bacon and eggs hash browns (which are unlimited ) and toast and guy said the basic breakfast. $21! I go the country fried steak with eggs sunny side up and runny with biscuit and sausage gravy on the side. $21. Nicely cooked and liked they didn't smother my steak as I like the fried part to stay crispy. All was edible and good. And friend even asked for another splattering of hash browns. We ate it ALL so we must have liked it. I also like they have various bottles of myriad hot sauce choices. That was an added bonus. Can't believe I have been here for 39 years and this was my first visit. Glad I experienced ...

    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.

The ube pancakes lived up to the hype! not too sweet, perfect texture, and a flavor that was so perfect. The combo plate was amazing and I could eat a ton of their lumpia. Ambiance is homey and comfy, with photos all over the walls and a lively atmosphere. The owner himself came to chat with us about the food. We saw him walking around and being present with plenty of customers and that added a very special touch. he even gave us a magnet souvenir to take home. I will definitely be going back next time i'm in seattle and cannot recommend enough!

Then, we always get one of their salads - so delicious and unique. We love the BLT salad, this time the shredded beat and carrot salad was excellent, and so was the butter lettuce salad w/ housemade Green Goddess dressing. The soups are insane, but this time we tried the smoked sablefish with an unreal horseradish cream and beets. For entrees, we ordered the pork w/ nectarines (out of this world), moussaka and halibut. For dessert, profiteroles and their galette of the day w/ housemade ice cream - wow. An absolutely delightful meal. Can't wait to return!
