I ordered a steak and it was sorry! My husband liked his but mine was awful. Haven't been back since.

large selection of steaks and sandwiches! Portions are big so you will have delicious leftovers. Betty's offers specials on a regular basis. Great place for a date or nice family dinner. The restaurant overlooks a river..very scenic and peaceful. Another plus is happy hour specials and draft beer.

Wow. What a hidden gem. Staying in Columbia for the weekend for my sons football camp. Didn't really wanna drive into Nashville but wanted a good steak. I read some mixed reviews here but just thought I'd give it a shot. So glad I did! Honestly one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. Seasoned great and cooked to perfection!... More

Bland, tough steak, ok potato, watered down tea, average bread, I've lived here for eight years and tried Betty's four times......every time a huge disappointment. I can't find a good filet in Columbia. Have to go to Cool Springs and Nashville to get excellent prime steaks. I can't stand Betty's any more than Longhorn or Legends steaks, who depend on... More

Betty's is always on time I've been there plenty of times and I have never been disappointed best steaks in town and if you are from out of town you might consider them as better than the steak houses in your town. Try them out and judge for yourself.

It's a dive, people. Don't wear a tuxedo to this restaurant. If you want to be able to eat your food off the floor, then don't even think about this place. It's a glorified bar. It looks like a bar. It smells like a bar. Its about as clean as... A bar. There are usually motorcycles parked outside and home-grown... More

Well, they guarantee their steaks and I must say that a couple of times I should have called them on it because they were a little tough, but you can't beat their prices and most of the time it is good. I've heard that their hand made and marinaded hamburgers and hamburger steaks are awesome but have never waited. Always... More

They boast to be "The Best steaks in town"...but it's the worst steak I've ever had. I have to start by saying...I was dressed casual, and was over dressed. The windows looking out on to the muddy Duck River where covered in webs and eggs...yuk! Although the service was quick and friendly, and the onion pucks were to die for.....the... More

The food is good and good-size portions. Good selections. Servers are friendly. My co-workers & I have gone a couple times, and we will go again.

We enjoy eating at Betty's about once every couple of months. As always, during this meal, the food was very good. They had a special for 2 ribeye dinners, which my daughter and I both got. The marinade on the steak was very good, as always. However, it was slightly more fatty than previous cuts of steaks. Also, they are... More
