Pretty decent food, but service was definitely sub-par. The entire experience took 3 hours which is a pretty ridiculous. The establishment is very small, so it makes sense that it takes a while to get a table. But, it took about 20 minutes for someone to even come take our order, and even then they only came because we flagged them down. Then, a ton of to-go orders were taking priority over the people inside. It took about 2 hours to get our food after we were seated. No shade I get they're doing their best. The only thing that really made our party angry was the fact that it seemed like they were churning out to go orders and not serving the people in the restaurant in a timely manner. read more

The service is excellent, unfortunately the food was literally inedible. Pancakes are not supposed to crunch when you break them with a fork. They were crispy, crunchy, overcooked and tasted like paste. I sent them back and overheard the kitchen staff state that they were fine the customer just didn't like them. Please TASTE the food you're serving, I can assure you, it's not fine, it's beyond nasty. Here's a tip, when cooking pancakes they should only be flipped one time. You pour the batter in 1 spot only and it will evenly spread, wait until it bubbles all-over the surface, then flip it. That's it! When you flip it over and over, it removes the light fluffiness and turns it into a crispy taco shell, like the ones you served me. Also, on over easy eggs, the egg yolk is supposed to be runny the whites are not. read more

Betty's Restaurant - These pancakes were horrible! they tasted like crispy salty paste. The bisquick was watered down, then flipped repeatedly until crisp. ugh - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boyne Falls, Michigan

Ok so the positive! The staff is friendly and if you like a mild taste to yr coffee this is the place! Things to work on add some vegan options and doing a better job with cooking the food. The pancakes are not good kinda doughy....the potatoes have absolutely no flavor, just boiled potatoes....my omelette was runny so I didn't even eat it. . When I told the waitress she said that's how ALL the omelette come because of fresh vegetables they use... FIRST AND LAST TIME EVER EATING HERE. 30-40 minutes wait for crappy food. read more

Really friendly and welcoming place. My wife ordered the veggie omelet, my son ordered the French toast with scrambled eggs and Cajun sausage, while I had the blueberry pancakes. We all enjoyed our meals. I can't speak for the other orders but the blueberry pancakes were excellent and made with fresh blueberries. We will definitely be back when we're in the area again. read more

Best cheeseburger and club sandwich. Quality ingredients and cooked/prepared just right. The cost of pop was a little high, but overall a feel good restaurant. read more

Betty's Restaurant - Cinnamon rolls - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boyne Falls, Michigan

Excellent breakfast . Cash only and you may have to wait. Very old school!. Limited parking.

It would've been No stars but the American Fries were good. POOR SERVICE: waited too long for order to be taken, three other tables were waited on before us, no coffee brought before ordering, or after it was ordered. BEST OF ALL ( not really ) we wound up getting our own food from the kitchen window, so we could eat hot food, while the servers, talked at the counter with whoever. eventually got his coffee, he had to ask for a refill by going up to the counter.. had to go get her own catch-up too, so we were kind of left on our own. FOOD: veggie omelette, all veggies uncooked, the potatoes were the only redeeming quality about the food. we were in the hospital since 6am and was getting our meal around one pm and we were starving. Bummer. read more

We really couldn't be happier. If you are looking for an upscale retaurant with fancy menus and pricing-- Bett's probably isn't the place for you. If you are looking for good food, in a casual atmosphere where you don't need to worry about how you look-- get here ASAP! It's an old-fashioned diner style restaurant with a simple menu and hand written specials. It is cash only, so be ready! We enjoyed the homemade cinnamon rolls, custom scrambled eggs, and omelettes! This is a homestyle restaurant you can rely on for good food, friendly service, and low prices. We really can't say enough about the enormous omelette, fresh farm potatoes, and that homemade cinnamon roll. We ate well and quickly! When in the area, Betty's easily has become a must for us! read more

This place is great for home cooked breakfast or lunch Cash only Small place but homey atmosphere read more

Small, diner environment with very good breakfast basics. Western omelette was really good. Nicely crisp bacon and great home fries.

Food took an extremely long time and was not worth the wait. It seemed like everyone in the restaurant was served and left and replaced with new tables by the time we got our food. I consider myself pretty patient but it was pretty bad. read more

Very bad service. Oblivious front of the kitchen. Visiting from metro Detroit, very unfortunate due to great reviews in the past. Servers don't even look at you until your food is ready. Been waiting for 20+ minutes. would not recommend this place. read more

This place had a long wait. We thought it got to be excellent.."Right?" No! The wait because they had 1 chef, 1 waitress! Waited to be seated for a 1.30 hour! I ordered Corned beef hash..it was terrible! From the can, so salty it burned my throat eating 1 bite, the waitress not once came to ask how are food was? I couldn't eat my bkft. When we got the bill, we told them the Corned beef hash was terrible & couldn't eat it. She told us oh well it comes from a can."" What do you want me to do about it?? She refused to take it off the bill! Rude & unfair...A place for anyone to AVOID TRYING!! Be aware that this could happen to ANYONE! We paid and left VERY UNHAPPY!! read more

Decent food at reasonable cost. Quality and price much better than at lodge. But intolerable wait. Not for a table - I expect a long wait for a table Sunday morning. But 45 minutes after ordering before food arrives is ridiculous. One cook for the entire place. read more

The food was really good I had a nice experience The pancakes were kind of giant The sausage was really good The service was excellent read more

Great food and great service! Complying with all COVID rules. Definitely go back when I'm up this way!

as a local resident, I have been to Betty's for years and the food is well worth the wait. Sadly, Betty passed however the good food and great service is worth it. read more

been here many many times. service is pretty good. I ordered an omelette and asked if the cook could please cook the green peppers a little before putting them in the omelette as the last 3 times I was there the peppers were raw, not a little raw but crunchy raw. 8 minutes later the server tells me the cook said that's how they serve them and will not cook them a little. what? really?? I have Airbnbs in Boyne Falls and have hundreds of guest throughout the year and I have always recommended Betty's and even have their menu's in my houses. I will be taking the menus out and will let my guests know not to bother with Betty's. read more

It's fine if you like greasy food that is not home made. It is obvious everything comes from a can or is frozen. I had a Ruben and fries. How could you mess that up? Very little meat and no flavor at all. Will not be going here again of I have any other option at all. read more

Went in for breakfast and although the service was great, the food was not. Everything is watered down! Coffee, pancake batter, biscuit gravy, syrup, all watered down and virtually tasteless! And actual lard on my toast instead of butter. They cut corners. Go anywhere else for breakfast. read more

So tasty! Get the cheeseburger! We also got the western omelette, and yum yum was it good!

Betty's is a small restaurant for breakfast that we stopped at and enjoyed. We had a great server good food and very fair prices definitely would go back. read more

Excellent little diner that's completely perfect small town. I had the monte cristo which looked like a French toast sandwich and tasted perfect. Lots of meat and cheese. I didn't really have room but still needed to try the coconut cream pie. So glad I did. Dense and fresh. I couldn't have asked for a better lunch. read more

Love all the employees Great food! So glad we went to eat there Planning to go back read more

Nice small town diner. Nothing special, but not trying to be anything special either. Came for breakfast and it was packed as it is small. We were lucky and just beat a rush. Service was good and food was hot and fresh. Cajun sausage was a great choice. Wife's corned beef hash was from a can... disappointing. Over all felt like the yelp rating was a bit high and doubt we would return vs trying a new spot. read more

Excellent food and service!! New staff did great. Blueberry Oatbran Pancakes excellent!!

We were looking for a breakfast place close to Boyne Resorts and didn't want to go to Everett's again. So we Yelp'd breakfast and this was the closest one available. I got the banana pancakes, the American fries, and some bacon. Pancakes were incredible. Fries were super saturated with oil and salt (which you'd probably think is a bad thing, it wasn't), and the bacon was crispy and good. The only issue I had was the fact that it's cash only: come on, man - are processing fees stopping you from joining the rest of society? Raise your prices if you have to and join up! Also, if you have more than a party of four, you might consider looking elsewhere. The space is a wee bit cramped, has only 4-seat tables, and doesn't look good for large parties. Food was good, service was good. Just a good experience. read more

Great little local restaurant with a delicious home cooked breakfast! We had a group of 7 and were sat right away at 2 tables next to each other (they can't combine tables). Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Coffee and water cups were never empty. Our food was delicious, it tasted like how my Grandma cooks! Cinnamon rolls are huge, get one to share! Everything was delicious, cooked fast and reasonably priced. It is cash only, but there's an ATM across the street. Perfect place for a quick breakfast on a ski weekend! read more

Breakfast has never been so good! Friendly service and fabulous food, all at a great price!!! Felt like you were eating with family!!!

Best breakfast in Boyne mountain, Small family owned business and busy mornings and waiting time is about 15-20 minutes Local favorite foods for breakfast, kids loved the hash and sausage. Friendly staff and they make you feel welcome to the place again read more

Best breakfast in the area. Period. Nothing pre-packaged, everything made to order. Staff is super friendly! Cash only, no cards! But incredibly affordable and fast! If you're pulling a trailer, park just behind the building and walk the 10 yards or risk making the locals angry - which includes me and we know where to hide a vehicle of any size. Just sayin'. read more

Betty's Restaurant - Good Day for BreakFast at Betty's!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boyne Falls, Michigan

I don't watch the Food Network, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this featured on one of the "don't miss these great little spot" shows. With only a dozen or so tables, and an outside appearance that makes you recall the banjo-twanging scene from Deliverance, you'd think you'd be scared to eat here. Don't be! For breakfast you have to (HAVE TO) try at least one pancake. They're the size of a plate and I can only eat one, my husband loads up on all three. Add perfect bacon or sausage and that's it - ready for a nap. Coffee lover? I'm sure it's not a special blend, but somehow they make "Diner coffee" just as you'd imagine a perfect cup would be. Closer to noon? Burger or Monte Cristo, or Patty Melt. You won't regret totally blowing your diet. Be sure to note how all of the food is serve quickly, and at the perfect temperature. This family-run-for-generations place has the whole service thing down. If you go on a Sunday morning be prepared for a wait in the hallway or out the door - but it's normally a short wait due to the efficiency here. The tab will be a bit on the high side if you pile on the extras, but pile them on - they'll all taste perfect. read more

Located right next to the train tracks in Boyne Falls, it is evident that this place was meant to fill people's tummies before they boarded the train. Having only about 20 tables this place is packed Saturday and Sunday mornings with bikers, snowmobilers, and travelers alike. Blueberry pancakes are a must, and if there is a wait, no worries, the turn-over here is faster than you can say, "Eat at Betty's." read more

Boyne Falls is a one light town. But a major crossroad is the breakfast option. Do you go Betty's, the small cafe place on the right? or the Mountain Side Grilled, dolled up with advertisements and Karoke signs on the....stop...just pull into Betty's. It's a small 8 table cafe that just serves that basics, but they are fast and the food is good...and really cheap. A really cool view of Boyne Mountain to the west makes the five dollar breakfast a really cool steal when you visit northen michigan. The Omeletes are really good but if your a foodie, and looking for something new and different...try a monte crisco... turkey/ham with cream cheese and jelly. Its good and filling! read more

Quite possibly the best pancakes this side of Bay Harbor's Original House of Cakes. This is a long standing classic diner. One star demerit for weak coffee this morning. read more

We visited this little breakfast place back in August as we were in town for a wedding. We read wonderful reviews on here and thought 'why not?'. WHY indeed. We can in for a quick bite before heading out for the day and holy moly, TERRIBLE service. There was barely anyone in the restaurant and the two waitresses struggled. They ran out of basic food. All I wanted was oatmeal, out. Seriously? We were stuck in there for almost an hour and a half. It was horrible. I will never come back if I visit the area again. read more
