From the moment we walked in there was a bad smell. It definitely made eating there worse because it was gross. Water was tap and tasted funny. The inside is good for a classic diner. Service was decent and food came fast. The food tasted good, not amazing, but good for the price. Our waitress told us the sign was taken off the building because of the harsh winters. read more

Excellent, friendly service. Real cute diner with a nice aesthetic & jukebox. I ordered the biscuits & gravy it was overall good. The only thing is that the biscuits were a bit on the drier/ tougher side. We also got the chicken & waffles which were also tasty, although I wish the chicken were a bit juicier. Id definitely come back and try out their other food options. read more

This place was a step back in time! Loved the booths, the tabletop jukebox and the authentic 50s vibe. Food was amazing!! Best pancakes I have had in a while. My husband's eggs, sausage links and potatoes cooked with crispy burnt pieces were all delicious. The Scalia bread was the best- thin, light with sesame seed edges. We got there before 8am and it was a $6.50 early bird special! Super friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. read more

OK WENT BACK AFTER A FEW YEARS BREAK AND IT IS NO WHERE LIKE IT USED TO BE.....We were the only people in the diner on a Tuesday am at 10 am .....had to ask for just about everything in stages.....asked for coffee refills which were never done.....husband had an omelet which was awful....and he never complains.....Oh well ....will not be back.....too many other places read more

Love this place, a staple anytime I am in the cape. Good food, service and all around vibe.

Fantastic old style diner with great atmosphere. The service was fantastic, a very warm and friendly wait person. The omelette I had was very tasty with all fresh ingredients. Will definitely come back when I'm in the area again. Lisa you were the highlight of my visit. Thank you!! read more

If you're thinking you are eating at Betsys from years ago, that is just a memory. Food meh - 3 cheese omelette as flat as a chip with not enough cheese to fill inside. Nothing more than folded scrambled egg. Home fries large and chunky more like boiled potatoes. No substitutes and no itemized bill so unless you have memorized prices from menu have no idea of accuracy. Other comments have mentioned best diner in town - it is the only structure of an older diner but there are much better breakfast places in the vicinity. read more

Fabulous place for breakfast!!! Food was amazing and coffee was always on the pour! Highly recommended!!!!! Service and people were awesome! The way a place should be! read more

Had a fantastic brunch here. The rat pack omelette was packed full of bacon, sausage, onion, ham and pepper. The food our other two guests ordered was really good as well. The only odd thing was an additional $2 for the fries but the waitress explained that to us before hand. Our waitress was the best and personable, she was prompt and came back to ensure we were satisfied. She offered the kids crayons and something to color as well. For the price we had a great brunch and we're comfortable in the large booth we were sat in. There was a good amount of parking in their lot and it was nice to still see some old school diners around. read more

First visit. Egg sandwiches and homefries. The sandwiches were excellent but the homefries had no flavor. Fixed that with ketchup. Service was great and prices were reasonable. read more

Very small and not as much waitresses so only one side is open and the other is a waiting area. Food is OK, design is cool

I want to be clear. I was here last year to the day and experienced the same. But I always give a place a second chance. We went for breakfast We were seated pretty quickly, the place was not busy. We then waited 10 minutes before the waitress even acknowledged us as she walked by saying, "I'll be with you in a minute." Five minutes later she came and asked if we wanted drinks. She brought us our drinks then walked away without taking our order. Finally she came back and took our order. It took about 30 minutes for our food to come out, not once during that time did she come to check on us or refill our coffee. When the food finally came, first came the omelet. She walked away without a word. Two minutes later she brought the toast that came with the omelet and started to walk away again so I asked if my wife's meal is coming to which she said sarcastically, "Of course." Five minutes later my wife's sandwich comes out, no apologies. We had to ask for silverware and napkins, none were on the table. Now I ate a cold omelet and my wife ate her Monte Cristo. No apology or explanation for the long wait. The food here is at best average, so to have bad front end service and poor kitchen timing skills makes this place a no-go. Avoid at all costs, there are plenty of other better places for breakfast and lunch. read more

Should be better service & a bit of air. Ahh seat yourself. Well, we did & then was told no not there there's a leak; that's why it's not set up. Geez. Okay! Found a table. Yeah the waitstaff took the order & it was 'delivered'. My eggs were off the plate half&half on the table. I couldn't eat that/ewwww. Coffee not replenished Stuffy in the place. Hot & humid. Not conducive to a nice experience. The family business has gotten a bit too cozy. Hey now-it's customers that make you. I went w my adult son. He said the same. Hyped up about nothing. read more

Somewhere between 2 and 3. Betsy's is ok. As others have noted... they have pretty standard breakfast fare. For me, it is hard to mess up eggs and potatoes. This morning I tried an omelet special: 3 eggs, onion, ham, and broccoli (i skipped the broccoli), ,potatoes and toast for $8.25. Seemed reasonable. The omelet wasn't bad... but it wasn't memorable in anyway either. The coffee is slightly above average. And yes, they do make a big deal about not using phones in the restaurant. It doesn't bother me but others might find it annoying. Moonikas, about 15 mins down the street is better for slightly more money. read more

Typical diner. Nothing incredibly special. Hits the spot if you want greasy hangover food. read more

We have frequented this diner whenever we are in this area. I read a few bad reviews, and we almost didn't go back. But I'm glad we ignored them because it was fantastic!! Great and friendly service, good coffee and food just as I remembered. Eggs were done perfectly, potatoes crispy and the best corn beef hash made by a local butcher and then grill fried!! read more

Stopped into Betsy's yesterday with a party of 7! The staff couldn't have been nicer accommodating us! We had a great server, Katie, the food came out in a timely manner and it was delicious! I highly recommend the Old Silver!! read more

Bad service, rude staff who harassed us until we ate outside. Also very high price for the small portion of food they gave us and the very small iced coffee. read more

Went there after the new owners took over. We where not impressed with the service at all, waited for our server to bring menus forever and found the changes were not good. Half the portion size for 1.5 times the money. Never went back. read more

A great place for breakfast. Food was fresh and tasted great. Portion sizes were huge and the price was very reasonable for the Cape ($10 for pancakes), $14 for French toast, eggs, bacon and potatoes. Place was busy but we were able to get seated quickly at 10am on a Saturday morning. I thought we would have to wait longer. If we make it back to the Cape we'll stop here again. read more

Unreal. Came to Falmouth for the weekend and my boyfriend and I went here Friday Saturday and Sunday for breakfast. Corned beef hash and side of corn bread are both must haves. Would have given 5 stars if the coffee was a little better. read more

Betsy's Diner - Diners Near Me - Falmouth, Massachusetts

I love this place !!! Each time we come to Falmouth Betsys is the place we can't wait to go to! Even with a big rush the waitress Kelly was on her game . Food was amazing & place was spotless. Covid regulations are followed to a tee . Will go again before we leave for sure. I only wish they served a little stronger brewed coffee but everything else triumphs that small detail! read more

Got the Spin City omelette which had so little content that the omelette was flat. I got the raisin toast that was burnt black, if I was the waitress, would never have served it. Coffee ok, the potato tepid and tasteless. Needless to say but we won't be back. read more

An adorable diner in Falmouth. We stopped in for breakfast. My veggie omelette was AMAZING! The vegetables tasted liked they were picked straight from the garden.. and the omelette was huge! The staff was friendly and service was fast. Great experience! read more

Love this place! The food is cheap, quick, delicious, and the portions are huge! The waitress's and owners are very nice and accommodating. There are a lot of options and they serve breakfast all day. There isn't a lot of waitress turnover which tells you a lot about a place. Betsy's is a little run down looking but very clean and has a lot of spunk and character. It's a real old-school train car diner with the food to prove it. This is a DINER people. Don't come here expecting to be waited on hand and foot. Sometimes when it's crazy busy (ie summer) you have to wait and be a little patient. If you want a boutique insta-worthy experience go walk 5 minutes to the center Falmouth and eat at one of the bougy new restaurants popping up there. read more

Wow that was a filling breakfast brunch! Thank you so much! Lucky there was still an available table to order breakfast at! The breakfast potatoes were delicious and added to the eggs omelet and bacon I ate also! Thank you so much! read more

Not the best but not the worst diner I have been to. The food wasn't anything outstanding and the service not great. Our waitress forgot to put in our order. She came back to ask if we had ordered yet. She then put in our order. We waited about 45 minutes for food that was "meh". Our water glasses were dirty and had to be replaced. I couldn't sit back because the booth back was super sticky. Bottom of the plates were greasy. We tried it because it was one of my husband's go to places in college when he visited the Cape. We will be looking for a new breakfast place for the rest of our vacation read more

Terrible place! Use to be great when I was a child. Egg was not poached correctly and when I specifically asked for bacon, they gave me bacon! Place is filthy. Floors are covered in food. Avoid! read more

I heard the diner has closed down. Rode by the other mid afternoon, nary a car in the lot. Sign said closed. Too bad. read more

We've been to Betsy's (hey, that's me) before and that was the reason we decided to come back. Granted that was years ago and we didn't have 2 kids in tow, but it's a diner and could things really go wrong? Yes. The waitress was quick, but she wasn't any kind of friendly (I do realize people have off moments). She about crushed my son's heart when she told him, point blank, that they didn't have any ice cream for a strawberry frappe. Umm, ok. Bummer. My very picky boys both ordered plain macaroni with butter and Parmesan on the side. The butter was ok (though it looked like the whipped kind that is much better suited for pancakes) but the Parmesan was not. It's color looked off and definitely didn't taste right. Granted we weren't at an Italian restaurant, but still. The "side of the day" for their meals never came, and at that point, we were more than ready to high tail it outta there. My BLT was lame and I couldn't see paying extra for a side of fries when the price for the sandwich was already a bit high. And if I'm still on the complain train, my water tasted, well, gross. Not sure why and I'm certainly not a water snob, but yuck. Suffice it to say, between this that and cash only, we won't stop back next time we are in town. read more

This place is a super cute diner! The food is great, they have daily specials. I was so happy when I saw all the pumpkin spice options. Staff was very friendly and attentive. There was a little wait but they were able to seat pretty quickly. Highly recommend!!! read more

The food was good, staff was nice, however the place smelt like sewage. It was fairly repulsive and made it hard to eat.

I have been going to Betsys for years and was extremely disappointed this past weekend when I visited Falmouth for the weekend!!! Apparently they were bought (so new ownership)...That probably explains why the service was horrendous and the food was way overcooked after a 45 minute wait! We didn't even get an offer of more coffee The waitress had a major attitude and called the manager over. He was about as useless as she was!!! Shame on you guys for being In the restaurant industry if you do not know how to cater to the general public. The waitress proceeded to speak about us in front of the manager and loudly so that we could hear her fresh mouth!! Don't waste your time or your money. Yes it was a holiday weekend but no you do not treat someone this way! Adios Betsy's-Talk of the Town Diner read more

Went to Betsy's yesterday w my mother a place we have gone for many years and was very disappointed. I ordered the turkey dinner which used to be fresh and delicious w real cooked turkey and now it's been replaced by pressed turkey that was microwaved for way too long. The turkey was tough and chewy the stuffing was also microwaved for too long and was scorchingly hot. I ate half of it because I was starving and told the very nice waitress it was horrible and she did offer a replacement but I was feeling nauseous from the turkey and told her no thanks. I won't be going back to Betsy's again. read more

Stopped in at Betsy's Diner today just looking to get a meal. This was my first time in the place so I didn't know what to expect. While my wife and I were looking at the menu a older gentleman came in asked the waitress, in a sheepish voice, if he could have a cup of coffee. He also said he didn't have any money. The waitress didn't hesitate and sat him down at the counter, poured him some coffee and asked if he wanted something to eat. The rest of the staff came over and said hello to the man and treated him like family. The food was very good but the people here are better. I will make it a point to eat at Betsy's every time I find myself in Falmouth. read more

We went to Betsy's for breakfast one morning since diners are usually fun. This one wasn't. I found the whole experience to be rather annoying. A good quarter of the menu was taken up by a list of rules like no cell phone use, no feet on the chairs, etc. What are we five years old? The waitress actually came over and made a comment about my friend using his phone to text. Sorry, but we needed to let our other friends know where to meet us... It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to eat. It was a mix of me being put off by the rules and the seemingly odd pricing. French toast was like $6 and nothing was included, but the scrambled eggs were $1 or $2 less, but came with toast, home fries, and a meat. It didn't make sense. I ordered one of the specials, but she came back 10 minutes later and said they were out of it, so I got the scrambled eggs. They were average. Our waitress was rather forgetful and hard to get a hold of. I was never able to get a refill of my water, even after asking twice. My friend had to get up and go find her to get a refill of her coffee. When we were leaving there was a sign by the door that read "complaint department" and had an arrow pointing outside. If the list of rules didn't annoy me enough, this was the icing on the cake. It was obviously just a fun decoration, but it just goes to show what type of restaurant Betsy's is. It's like they have no respect for the customer. read more

Eight people tried to catch a boat to Martha's Vineyard. They arrived at the dock just in time to watch the boat leave. What did they do next? Went to Betsy's! I must say, I was pretty impressed by Betsy's. I didn't find their food to be at all greasy. Service was quick, food was tasty and the restrooms were clean. Actually, the whole place was pretty clean. Got a table for 8 on Saturday morning in 15 minutes. Honestly, it more than lived up to any diner expectations. read more

Eh, this place was pretty blah. We were in the Cape for the weekend for a friends wedding and were looking for a good meal before heading back home. It was sunday and pretty busy but we got their around 830-9am so we didn't have to wait more than a couple minutes. The menu had a huge list of "rules" on it for customers such as no cell phones, which I thought was really odd and kind of lame. It is just good manners to not use your phone while at a restaurant but providing rules was a bit off-putting to me. My breakfast was ok, not the best, not the worst. Their iced coffee tasted old and a bit burnt. Their marble rye bread was the size of my head, I could have filled up on that alone! It was yummy though. Service was blah, not horrible but not good to the point where I even remotely remember our server. If I was from the area I would probably see what else was around for breakfast places. read more

Betsy's is a classic, traditional diner, not trying to be anything fancy. Betsy's is not trying to go local, go organic or go gourmet on you. Step back in time and just enjoy it for what it is. It's fried eggs over easy. It's blueberry muffins, buttered up and grilled. It's pancakes and sausage, french toast and bacon, all served by an efficient wait staff who could care less about your questions regarding the source of the eggs and if the chickens they came from are free range. It's old timers who come here every day, casually watching you and sitting around with the local paper. It's Wonder Bread toast. Pour on the salt, pour on the Aunt Jemima syrup and gulp down those calories. It's fun to let out the belt a notch or two in a classic diner like Betsy's, especially with the kids. They will like it here and they are always made to feel welcome. When we come off the boat from the Vineyard very early in the morning, we often stop into Betsy's. (Breakfast food on the ferry? No thanks.) The kids love the casual atmosphere and Granny loves the fact that everything on the menu is just like the things she had when she was a little one. None of that over the top, gourmet stuff like arugula and heirloom tomatoes as part of her breakfast, thank you. There's plenty of parking, it's clean and it's affordable. And you'll be stuffed and satisfied when you leave, although your cholesterol level may be through the roof. I don't mind taking a detour into Betsy's when I am in Falmouth. In fact. I kind of look forward to it. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch. The sign says closed at 2:00. We arrived at 1:20. We were able to place our order, receive our food, and be out by 1:50! The burger was standard fare, but good. The BLT was ok, but my picky companion didn't like the tomato, which wasn't fully ripe. Overall, a good experience. I will probably return for lunch again. read more
