The food was very good! I had the Betty-fied Omelette no. 1; at first I wasn't sure due to the sweetness of the cranberries but I really enjoyed it. Good portions. The staff was very attentive. We had to wait a little while in order to get seated but it wasn't a terrible wait. The location has a few pinball machines so you can play while you wait, but yes... You guessed it you have to pay to use them and they seem a bit expensive IMO

We were curious about the name but still have no clue who Betty is. The service was great. Our server answered our questions and checked on us frequently. The house beer was just okay but the fried fish sandwich was huge, crispy, tender and golden brown. The burger was also generously sized and delicious. We were too full from dinner but the donuts looked scrumptious. The arcade area has some favorites: Simpsons, medieval pinball, and other popular pinball machines. Would love to visit again.

I'm currently still sitting here and eating with my family and needed to make a review. The spinach artichoke dip- 100/10 The fried pickles-100/10 The imposter burger- 100/10 My brother-in-law got the philly cheese steak sandwich and said it was the best he's ever had. The restaurant is So cute and clean and the staff is so nice! I highly recommend this place

Came here after a long flight and travel. Was instantly greeted and sat down. The server was very nice too. I had already knew what I wanted since I saw menu beforehand. I came alone and apparently it was trivia night. I was a bit overstimulated from flight and all and it being towards end of night I just wanted my food. When the plate showed up shortly after ordering it hit the spot. I like the fries had peel still and were shoestring style my favorite! The burger itself was the western and it was pretty good too. Kinda wish they toasted the bun. I don’t mean to seem like a grouch maybe a place to bring a group of friends would be fun. Lots of energy

We’ve been here a few times and each time is wonderful! The servers are so nice and fast! The food is so legit! I highly recommend their tuna tacos and the spinach artichoke dip! They’re so delicious for real! But.. the best dessert ever is their namesake the Apple Brown Betty! O.M.G.!!! The best I’ve had no joke! Go here for dinner and support local queer friendly business and have a fantastic meal!

I’ve been coming here for years. The service is always great, they do have a very large menu. Plenty of food and beers to select from. The cocktail drinks are tasty, but it’s best as “Happy Hour” prices. Otherwise drinks are too expensive and not worth it. The wings are well prepared and tasty, also very appealing, although slightly pricey as well. The chicken tortilla soup is very good. Most dishes are well seasoned and nicely prepared. Some are just not priced as reasonably. Nonetheless; is a great place and the service is great! They are also fast with the food. Most food portions are reasonable, specially the sandwiches and burgers!

Our first time dining here and it was wonderful from beginning to end! The decor is artsy with a fun vibe. We visited on a Saturday night around 6:30 pm and didn’t wait more than 30 minutes for a table. Our server, (Derrick, hope I didn’t misspell his name), was extraordinary! Friendly, personable, attentive (but not over the top), great sense of humor! We started with drinks and the white fish dip and Cajun chips, it was to die for! Could have eaten it all night! My brother in law loved his burger, sister in law loved her salmon, husband loved his chicken dish and I had the pork schnitzel which is the reason I gave 4 stars. It was rather dry (yes I wanted gravy on the side), but I actually prefer my schnitzel “wetter” through the cooking process. I think the breading needs to be tweaked. That being said, it was good but didn’t live up to my expectations. The green beans were fabulous and I chose to have onion rings instead of mashed potatoes. They were enormous and perfectly fried. Took home donuts which we will try tomorrow (I’m sure they will be delicious!) We celebrated my brother in laws birthday there and he was thrilled as were the rest of us! One Eyed Betty’s is run like a well oiled machine with a great vibe, well trained staff, reasonable prices and overall delicious cuisine!! Will definitely return!

I’ve gone here for dinner a couple of times, but today was the first day I went there for brunch. It was absolutely amazing! We were a large group of 15 and I don’t think we’ve ever gotten our food as quickly as we did today. Plus, it was all freshly cooked so it wasn’t like I got it too fast. Our server, Cass, was awesom. She was on top of everything. I had the biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and hash-browns. I also had to order their donuts. If you have not tried their donuts, they are absolutely amazing and they are served fresh and hot every time! They have four choices. You get three donuts in the order, and you can get any three you want. I had the powdered sugar, the cinnamon, and the maple bacon. The fourth choice is a peanut butter Sriracha that I’ve always been too afraid to try. But I’ve had these exact three on more than one occasion and they are so good! Not pictured: a mimosa.
