  • "We went during restaurant week for a late supper and was not impressed with the menu. The beef was too salty. I was hoping it was going be to more restaurant and less bar. Our server wasn't much help on the wine selection. Won't be back."

The rest of the group got the breakfast sand which (huge), the pancake tacos (yumm), and blueberry waffles. All was served promptly and was delicious. New fav spot!"

  • "Great food although it was extremely loud because of the multiple parties that were 10 or more people. Also, the tables by the windows were cold. Other than that, everything was perfect."

  • "We had a great dinner at Smokin' Betty's. The menu had lots of choices and everyone in our group of 6 was pleased with their meal. We got to the restaurant a little early and were welcomed into the bar to wait while they got our table ready. The bar had a great beer selection."

  • "My bf and I went here for the first time on Valentines Day. I'm not picky but he is. This was a perfect spot for your mans man on any occasion. He had the rib and chicken combo with Mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. Like had the riblets with the dry rub and a side salad as my meal. The food was amazing! The meat fell right off the bones and the BBQ sauce was excellent. We loved it so much we returned with friends two days later with friends for brunch!"

  • "We came here for Valentines Day dinner. We arrived a little early for our reservation and went to the bar for a cocktail. The bartender took nearly 10 mins to acknowledge me. When we finally got our drinks, we asked him to run the card..he held it. it took another 10 minutes to get his attention. When we were seated we waited and waited again to be acknowledge. I spoke up to one of the waiters (who I saw was amazing). He graciously apologized, brought us waters and let our waitress know we were her table. While she did apologize, she seemed distracted throughout our meal. We had to asked for silverware, refills, extra napkins,etc. Overall, the food was amazing...we will insist on better service next visit though."

  • "I really enjoyed the food and you can't beat the pricing in the city. They followed my request for my husbands birthday just like I had asked. The service was also good with very helpful and friendly staff. My only complaint was the noise level. It was hard to have a conversation even though we were right across from each other. Never the less, I would recommend this restaurant to friends and family and would return again myself. Maybe during an off time to get a quieter atmosphere."

  • "Had a reservation, but was seated at a high top table right next to the bar. Noisy and high traffic area since the restrooms are right next to the table. Food was good, but the seating and the draft from being on the first floor kind of ruined it."

  • "We went for a quick Saturday night dinner before the auto show. The service was good. My husband and I both had burgers. Our waiter told me that medium rare would be red so I opted for medium and the burger came out medium well. Even then it still was not dry next time I would stick with the medium rare because it is easier to send back to cook more. The fries and sweet potato fries were delicious."

  • "My husband and I ate there on a Saturday night. We were seated quickly and our server was at our table quickly. Drinks were brought straight away (although they didn't have any bottled water??). My husband had one of the specials, an organic half chicken breast, which just melted in his mouth. I had a regular menu item, risotto, which was smooth, creamy and flavorful. It was a delightful evening."

  • "I wasn't blown aways but the food, service & ambiance were pretty good. Would I frequent Smokin' Betty's probably not. This is one of those restaurants you discover my accident walking down 11th st."

  • "We were looking for a restaurant close to the Convention Center that had a menu which was appealing. We found it. The food was excellent, the prices were great, and the staff was on point."

  • "Restaurant week in Philly was wonderful and our lasit night out was at Smokin Betty's. I enjoyed the tangy wing and slaw appetizer, beet soup and pork ribs. Appreciated the chocolate cherry trifle in the canning jar. The noise made table conversation a challenge, as did the cold air from the two entrances between which we were deated. Still an enjoyable evening."
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "Good beer list, fantastic menu. Some items were not available, even early in the day. But it was restaurant week, so I can forgive that. Great food. Short rib tacos and turkey dinner were favorites at our table. Attentive service. Very open space, so I imagine it gets pretty loud in there. Early Sunday dinner was perfect."
    Dined on 1/26/2014
  • "The food, servers, and bartenders are great. However, the hostess (Ashna) is extremely rude and dishonest. We had requested a high top bar table when we made our reservation and were told that they were first-come first-serve only. We arrived a little early and to our luck a bar table was open. The hostess finally agreed to let us sit at the bar table but told us that we could only order drinks, no food. Luckily, she must have convinced them to not bring us drinks either. When we asked why we couldn't eat at the high-top bar table, she said there was a reservation for the table. Clearly a lie, since they are first-come first-serve."

  • "Came here for a birthday celebration with a reservation for 7 people. Let me start by saying that the food was great -- I would definitely recommend it to someone else. I particularly enjoyed the riblets appetizer, and the beer selection was ample. However, the night was soured a bit by a typical restaurant "policy" gone too far. The night of our reservation ended up being in a decent snowstorm, and so a few of the attendees were delayed by the snow. The hostess refused to seat us until everyone arrived, and once our guests made it, our table had been given to others, causing us to wait another 15 more minutes. It's not the first time I've seen a policy like this, but reckless enforcement this way is simply discourteous to customers."

  • "Visited Smokin' Betty's for the first time during restaurant week. Great 4 course diner which included dessert. Small portions for my liking, but very enjoyable. I left feeling very satisfied despite feeling the portions were small. Service was good. Everyone was friendly. I would definitely recommend to others and will most definitely return. Note: The noise level was energetic, which was mostly due to the large group that was there. It might have a bit quieter otherwise."

  • "The window seats are terrible in the winter. They appear to be the original windows from when the bldg was first built. I was unable to relax because it was extremely cold."

  • "Had a nice brunch for 4 of us Sunday. Our reservation was honored on time. Food was good but with sluggish service. Not bad but not great. Asking for coffee refills and waiting 5 minutes is not great. Just some small issues like that. The menu was inviting and there were several things I would have liked to try. All in all. I would try this place again."
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "The service was great there, I loved our waitress. The food was not all that great, it was cold no seasoning. My scalloped potatoes had the consistency of baby food and tastes just like it. My kale had to much vinegar you could taste it was very over powering. It was too noisy because of a lot of children being there that night. This place has no waiting area for you to wait to be seated your just in the way. Also its very small and every tine that door opened I began to freeze."

  • "We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Smokin' Betty's. I had a cheeseburger which was very good though it could have had a bit more flavor. My daughter had braised short rib tacos and they were delicious. They had a nice selection of wine and beers, although the wine was pricey and a small pour."

  • "Decent bar comfort food. Mac and Cheese was a bit blend, but onion rings were very good. In the overall it was good food. Service was ok, not more… prices are fair to what you get. Good bar if you're hungry!"

  • "The restaurant was fantastic, our waiter was slow and not very friendly. We made a few jokes with him and he was not very friendly nor showed any excitement. However, the table busser was incredibly kind, happy and most of all wore a huge smile! He should be waiting tables not clearing them! The food was delicious and the portions large! Great place and we will return in the near future!"
