    Came here for breakfast and had a great experience. There is quite a line but boy is it worth the wait. I came here with a big group and our server was over quickly and attentive throughout our stay. Everything we ordered came out quickly and tasted delicious. The staff was super friendly and the place had some great charm. Next time I am on the cape, I will certainly be coming back. I highly recommend!

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

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.

    We stopped by on a lark and was blown away. Best Portuguese soup ever... balanced, clean and all…read morethe right flavors. The home made chicken broth as a base to the linguica, bean, and kale totally makes it. We split a Rueben and it was one of the best in our long lives. Bread was toasted and the interior was broiled. Yes, I know some grill it, but it was nice not to have to have the exterior too oily. Like the soup, the balance between the ingredients were really considerate and perfect. The sauerkraut was fresh and crunchy. When we ate the pickle, we looked at each other because it was so fresh tasting, not overly vinegary or salty, a really pleasant cucumber experience. We took home a creamy lemon cheesecake type square, and again, balanced is the word. Not cloyingly sweet, but light and such a pleasure to eat. This really was a find off the beaten path. If for not staying at the Autocamp down the road, I would have never discovered it, even with the Diners, Drive-ins and Dives connection. By the way, Art (husband and co-owner) was a pleasure to nerd out with about all of the ingredients and techniques.

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"

From the second we walked in, the whole place just had an amazing atmosphere. The ambience is honestly one of the best parts about dining here -- you've got that perfect Cape Cod waterfront vibe with the boats in the marina, the breeze coming off the water, and the way the light hits the harbor around sunset makes everything feel super relaxed but still special at the same time. It's the kind of place where you can actually enjoy your meal without feeling rushed, and just take in where you are. On top of that, our waitress Ashley gave us outstanding service. She was genuinely so nice and welcoming right from the start, constantly checking in on us without ever being overbearing. You can tell she really cares about making sure people are having a good experience. She answered all of our questions about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. It's rare to get service that feels that attentive but still natural, and she really made our night better. And the food was amazing. Everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You could tell it was made with care and not just rushed out. Between the service, the ambience, and the quality of the food, this was easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in Falmouth. We'll definitely be coming back, and we hope to get Ashley again next time!

    Where to start.. I ordered the spicy crabby & cucumber salad…read more& it was not only a huge portions but it was the best I've ever had! Seriously, if you follow me, you know that is a compliment! My drink was a dirty martini & it was a heavy pour & a decent drink. Again, not the best but very good. For the entree I wanted to order the sushi pizza.. yea you heard it right, I wouldn't have even considered it but by neighboring table got it & it looked FANTASTIC. However, I was away from home & did not want leftovers so I ordered the special sushi roll Crimson Tide & added Jalapeños. The Jalapeños were fresh & crispy, but did not lend any additional heat. I am a sushi snob, so it was not the best I've ever had, but it was decent. For most it would be good. The menu changes regularly, which was a little disappointing. It was different online, vs on Yelp vs in person & the prices were about $10 more than listed online, but overall, it wasn't a bad experience. I would recommend checking them out, just know it won't be cheap. I originally wanted the seared Tuna, but when I got here, it was halibut & it was $36 vs $22. I will include pics of the menu, but like I said, it's subject to change. OK, take this with a grain of salt. I would probably have made it a 4 vs 3 so I'm on the fence. Regan, my server explained that the additional $6 added to my $12 martini was not because it was a dirty martini, but because it was up vs on the rocks, so it was a bigger pour. It makes sense, but I have never seen this before.. make your own decisions.
