    We sat outside even though it was hot because it was very noisy inside. The waitstaff were excellent and attentive! We came for the $4 off burger night with friends who had not been to J. Betski's before. We all loved the food! The amount of wine poured by the glass was disappointing.

    The food here is OUTSTANDING! It's always so hard to choose from the delicious specials to the regular items on the menu. The beet salad and cheesecake live rent-free in my head! The staff are also helpful if you have questions about the menu. I also like the ordering system; you can set the pace of your meal using the Toast link. The vibes are so lovely and friendly, like a family restaurant!

    The food was fantastic, but the whole experience was ruined by having to order from my phone.

    Excellent food, great ordering concept, and very friendly staff! It does get a little noisy inside, but the outdoor patio is nice and quiet! Totally recommend - especially the Pierogis - they are fantastic!

    Outstanding Food. From small plates to the entrees - everything was delicious. As a group of 8 - every single person commented on how good it was. Also, they have a unique ordering and payment system which is super efficient but don’t worry at the end - they can all make it be a single check if desired.
