    Endless flow of coffee

    This is such a cute place, so nostalgic of the 50's era. The mural on the wall, tables, and chairs made you feel like you were part of American Graffiti We went for breakfast before leaving the Cape. They had plenty of gf breakfast items along with ones that aren't gluten friendly. They ask if it's a preference or allergy. I had the stand bacon and eggs with gf toast. They did have french toast and pancakes that were gf. The waitresses were cheerful and friendly. We found this place by looking on Yelp. The proprietor at the place we stayed at also recommended it. We definitely enjoyed the ambiance, friendly service, and yummy breakfast items

    In 2017, Betsy's Diner was listed as one of the top 15 diners in New England, by Yankee Magazine. When I googled that article this morning, it was no longer on an updated list from August 2nd, 2021. And the other 14 diners from the original list still made the cut. What happened???? Apparently, from speaking with several of the locals, ownership changed hands in 2019. The menu changed, prices went up.... I was in the area b4 knowing of the ownership change and decided to try it. The signage, ambience, and nostalgia still beckons. There was a brief wait on an off-season Saturday morning. Place was crowded. I ordered a make your own 3-egg omelet with ham and brocolli. Came w home fries and toast. I was underwhelmed. The eggs were way overcooked to the point of being crispy. The broccoli was not cooked at all. The home fries were nothing special....not spiced at all. And the coffee, unfathomably, was not very hot. Price for the omelet was $11.45. Bill came to over $15, so the coffee must've been $2.99. Note that it's not listed on the menu. All-in-all, pricey and not high quality. In fairness, my seating neighbors had pancakes and they looked good. Also, Kathleen, was GREAT. Constantly on the move, pleasant, efficient, etc. I can see why Betsy's was the only diner replaced from the original 2017 list. Great on nostalgia, but...... and the corned beef hash is not homemade.

    CLEAN syrup dispenser!  Unheard of at a diner!  Great job Betsy's!

    Totally impressed. Came on Tuesday morning at 8am and the two waitresses (blonde and brunette) were efficient, tidy and attentive. It did not feel grungy like our diner at home - windowsills, the drink areas and behind the counter just looked like they had been cared for and kept up. Breakfast food was great. The egg portions was huge and the home fries were crispy and homemade. Guess what? They had real maple syrup upon request!

    YUM. I loves me a good breakfast. This little diner serves up a breakfast that satisfies those morning hunger pangs. I ordered the classic breakfast of fluffy pancakes, savory sausage links, eggs over easy and real home fries - not those stringy things - I'm talking real chunks of potatoes. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The sausage was juicy and perfectly cooked and the eggs were perfectly cooked. I wonder if the corned beef hash is home made? We will definitely return.

    This diner reminds me of Happy Days waiting for Ritchie Cunningham and his friends to walk in. I just wanted a coffee and something sweet for a snack. Coffee is bottomless and delicious. My blueberry muffin was grilled with butter, yummy. The restaurant was bustling and the servers always had a smile and made sure you were ok. The decor is fun with sock hopping music. I recommend Betsy Diner, come on in and enjoy sitting at the counter or at a table.

    Unfortunately my experience was poor. I walked in and 2 waitresses were there, one told me I could sit anywhere. As I sat down at the bar I could see food stuck on the "clean" silverware setups. The typical 1950's music was playing in the dining area. In the kitchen different music was blaring which for me was sensory overload. I ordered black coffee. The coffee was good. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelet which came with home fries & toast. I got a grilled English. The whole delivery was unappetizing. It gave me "slop" vibes. The omelet was overcooked & cold and whole slices of bacon were just thrown in making it hard to cut and eat. The home fries were burnt on one side and raw on the other. The English muffin was flavorless. The waitress who threw the food in front on me asked me if I needed anything else. I had no salt/pepper or condiments in front of me. So I said yes everything. I try to always have a sense of adventure and keep a sense of humor even when things are not as I had hoped. This whole experience was underwhelming and I will never go back. The guy beside me said there was another place close that had really good omelets. I will try them next time. This place has potential if the staff wanted to actually care about giving good service and maybe the cook stops slinging out less than appetizing food. Just my impression. Hopefully your experience will be better!

    Stayed in Cape Cod couple of weeks ago and this great place was within walking distance from our hotel. Diner has a cozy atmosphere and a classic menu of comfort breakfast and lunch food. The friendly staff and delicious pancakes, toasts and eggs make it a must-visit spot for anyone in the area. My eggs Benny was just WOW!

    The lack of kindness and professionalism on the waitress was enough to make me not want to come back. Too bad food was mediocre as well.

Spend half of your toxic energy on your restaurant and it would surely improve :). The service was great, but unfortunately the food did not meet expectations. As a restaurant known for its pancakes, I was very disappointed in the quality of them. I had really high hopes for them especially as they were a major pregnancy craving, but they were not fluffy nor very tasty. I've had much better pancakes at chain restaurants or even at home unfortunately. We also got the philly steak omelet and lobster eggs benedict, which were just ok. Additionally a $6.50 side of bacon came with just a couple limp, greasy pieces. The restaurant is a little tight too and it feels like everyone around you is right on top of you. I wish I was a fan as most everyone else seems to be, but I can't get there. With so many options in the area, we'll try something else next time.

    Parking-Terrible, you must park in the hotel parking lot, no street parking and local businesses…read moresay "No Persy's Parking". If the weather is bad, park as close to one of two hotel entrances and walk through the hotel. Atmosphere- was obviously a "Bar and Grill" for the attached hotel. The bar is still there but is now the check-in counter with the rest used as haphazard storage, bit of an unpleasant eyesore when you walk in. No decor to speak of, cleanliness was ok. Overall it was just a boring room. Service- The restaurant was empty, only 1 booth with two people were there. Two signs at the counter, one said "Wait here to be seated", the other said "Please Seat Yourself". After a 12 minute wait (we were the only people waiting) the waitress tells us to sit anywhere as long as it was in 1 of 2 booths. Other than the wait to be seated the server was very nice and professional. Food- known for their Hash, I had one of their hash omelettes and it was good and I enjoyed it. Was it "being known for" delicious? No. But I'd certainly have it again! Breakfast potatoes were delicious!! Overall- Not what I expected, not a solid 3 star experience. Worth trying but I'll forget this place shortly after I hit "Post Review"
