We like to try different places when we go to places that locals like to eat at when we go on vacation. I looked up some places close to my daughter's house and found Beth's. It is not pretty on the outside and it is a bit different on the inside, BUT it was worth the try. It was great... More

I know Beth's cafe is a seattle icon. It has been there forever. But the claim to fame of a dozen egg omelette has always been a turn off to me. The whole place needs a major degreasing. The seats, the menu, everything I touched had a veil of grease. I ordered an egg dish, not the huge omelette but... More

Many local and out-of-town people know Beth's Cafe as a Seattle "institution." If you've been inside, you know the walls are covered with countless 8 1/2 X 11 drawings and comments. Some would call it a "dive." Yet Beth's has a unique uncomely charm as an icon for 24-hour good food, especially breakfast, seemingly forever. Rather than eat there this... More

Make sure you are hungry or come with someone to share, as these breakfasts are enormous!! It's a small diner, old, but famous. It's located across from Greenlake in Seattle. It's been around since I was a kid and I'm almost 50!

This is a great 24 hour restaurant for after the bars close, when you are ravenous for a huge breakfast. Yum.. I would not want to see the kitchen :) Its really a Seattle Aurora Avenue institution. am glad it is still open.

I've been to Beth's maybe twice. I've always had a very good meal there. The last time I was there I tried the corn beef hash and it was delicious! If I see corn beef hash on a breakfast menu then I just have to try it out. I'd put Beth's hash up against anybody's even here in California. Their... More

Go hungry when you visit Beth's. Comfortable digs and plenty of time to savor yummy food. There's no pretense when you dine here - exactly how it should be. I'm glad we stopped in!

This place is exellent if you've been out all night and need a really late dinner or really early breakfast. Quick service, no matter how packed it is and really good prices. When I say no matter how packed it is, be warned that there's almost always a line and because of how small it is, you're normally waiting outside.... More

We searched for and found this place because we had seen it on TVs Diners, Drive ins and Dives several months before we went to Seattle. The food is awesome. I had the 6 egg Salmon omelot and it was all I could do to finish it. We were in a hurry to catch a flight so we had to... More

Awesome omelettes, lots of hash browns, great toast. Coffee could be a little stronger. Really friendly "hip" folks working here, so always enjoy visiting this place.Weekends can be very busy, so get there early.
