Run don't walk to Betty's. Friendly greeting upon entering. Fried chicken cooked to order I had mashed potatoes. Mac n cheese. Collard Greens, Cornbread and a single Rib with Fruit punch to drink. Had enough for 2 1/2 meals. Fried chicken comes with rice of your choice: white, yellow, or rice n peas or mashed potatoes. Add 2 sides. Constantly being checked on. Clean atmosphere with gospel music filling the air. 10 out of 5 stars. I see why Janet Jackson ate here 4 days in a row.

BABYYYYYYY!! It will take me 2 days to eat all of this food but trust and believe I will finish every last bite. Ms Betty served me and she's always so personable like visiting Auntie's house. Just what I needed on a Sunday afternoon some home cooking left me feeling like I received a warm hug. Thank you Ms Betty for making my day. It's the little things.

Decided to stop here for breakfast before getting back on the highway to head home. This place is an intimate, black owned, hole in the wall spot tucked within the neighborhood. When we arrived it was pretty busy with about five tables seated and two people sitting at the counter. There was consistently people in and out picking up to-go orders. We were greeted by a pleasant hostess/waitress and told to pick our own seats she'd be with us shortly. Our orders were taken and as we waited we were brought extra napkins. I ordered the chicken and waffles (all wings) and a sweet tea. There is an additional charge of $2-$3 for all white meat or all dark meat. I did want to try to lemonade or fruit punch but they were out of both for the day. Wait time was normal for cook to order soul food. Everything arrived to our table hot and fresh. I'm honestly mad I didn't take pictures BEFORE we dug in. The chicken was seasoned so well and the skin was so crispy. My waffle was the perfect portion size and the powdered sugar complimented it well. My son loved the bacon and homemade biscuits and I couldn't leave without a sweet tea to go. Can't wait to return to try the fried fish.

First and last time we were at Betty's was well over three decades ago. The food was amazing, but the price was too blue for our blood. But what do you expect when you were still high school age? Any meal that costs more than $3-$4 was too blue for our blood! Was the food worth it? Yes, it certainly was! Still in the same location after all these years, Betty's Soulfood Restaurant has a blue paint scheme and new layout. Inside, we were greeted warmly. Betty's is a friend and family restaurant, and has ample seating to let everyone know they are welcome to stay a spell. No servers constantly checking on you to see if you are finished, so they can rush you out, get their tip, and then seat their next customer(s). Betty's actually cooks their food. No heat lamps. So when you order, be prepared to wait for it. We once read a restaurant sign that stated [to paraphrase] fast food isn't good food, and good food isn't fast. We had two simple breakfast orders, and when they arrived, they were in immaculate condition! Everything was perfectly placed, and the homemade biscuits were outstanding! We expected simple biscuits not fluffy ones that resembled cornbread, and tasted like heaven! Let it be known, resident culinary celebrity, Ms. Betty, was there! She is still active, making sure everyone and everything runs smoothly. It is always a pleasure to see an owner who is still involved with the day-to-day operations. Many restaurant owners go from cooks to management, and don't look back. Whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Betty's Soulfood Restaurant is a once place you should drop by one day. And if you haven't dropped by in a while, as was our case, do yourself a favor, and come back now, ya hear!

I absolutely love Betty's Soul Food Restaurant! The soul food here is delicious, truly top-notch and bursting with flavor. Ms. Betty is not only kind and wonderful, but she also brings a special warmth to the place, making everyone feel like family. The interior is cozy and inviting, perfectly reflecting the heart and soul put into every dish. And let's not forget about the staff--especially Jessica, who is an absolute star! Everyone here makes sure you have the best experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine, heartwarming soul food. #BlackOwned #SupportLocal #SoulFoodHeaven

I stopped by for a take out order for lunch today 04-08-24 within twenty minutes of close time. I was still offered the option to dine in. The veggie plate came with four sides. I ordered fried okra, green beans, mac & cheese, and yams; it came with cornbread. It crossed my mind to try the banana pudding, but the only desserts were red velvet, chocolate, & pound cakes. The lady who took my order also went into the kitchen to help Ms Betty get some orders out. When she brought my order out, she explained that she used separate containers to keep my food from spilling while I was traveling; it was appreciated. I enjoyed the okra & yams the most. The green beans, mac & cheese, and cornbread were just ok. The countertop where I sat needed to be wiped down.
