Citysearch staff says that Beth's Cafe is a "Green Lake icon that's been serving hearty breakfast fare to hungover 20-somethings since 1954." Beth's Café is famous for breakfast, served any time of day. You might have to share our 6- and 12-egg omelettes. Come eat, play great tunes on our jukebox and add your works of art to our walls. We also serve lunch, with burgers, sandwiches, soups and salads. Dare to try our mondo burger--a half pound of meat, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and two strips of bacon.

cafe  5 Star Rating - World class

Funky and unique! Late night eating or hungry morning breakfasts with friends are the best. Located close to Green Lake is good for the long walk needed after sharing 12 egg omelettes! I go more for the experience than the quality of food, but I never leave hungry or unhappy.

Beth's Cafe  4 Star Rating - Very good

What can I say about this place? It is funky and it's claim to fame is their 12-egg omelettes and endless hashbrowns. The food is reasonably priced for the amount you get and it is done right. We were there at 10:30 a.m. on a week day and the place was jammed. It was built in 1953 and believe there are no upgrades to the interior....you go there for the food!

24 hours! how cool!!!  4 Star Rating - Very good

open 24 hours is such a great concept, especially for this place. Who doesn't want a 4 am omlette after a long night of drinking. I love Beth's. It is a secret from some and some keep it a secret because the more people you let know the longer the wait between the 2am and 5 am hours.

rude service 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I've never written a review before, but I feel compelled to let people know what happened. I have never been more disrespected in my life. I can understand that it wouldn't be fun to work at 3 am around a bunch of drunk people, but I wasn't drunk, so don't take out your anger issues on me! We had a group of eight people, so we required two tables. One table ordered their food, while the other table was ignored for about ten minutes. When I mentioned to the waitress that we were ready to order, she said "I'm f**king busy." When I said "Excuse me?" she told us to "Get the f**k out." What?!!? Seriously? Good to see that a long time customer is treated with such respect! I will never eat at Beth's again. The only reason it is considered a good place to eat is because it is open late and everyone is usually so drunk they can't tell that the food is bad. Never thought I'd miss the Denny's in Ballard, but it sure seems like heaven compared to this dump. Call me crazy, but I think the point of a restaurant is to serve its customers... isn't it? I hope the staff enjoys their crappy late night job at an overrated diner. You won't ever see me there again.

Pros: Open late
Cons: Rude, angry servers, dirty bathrooms, unwashed tables, horrible customer service

below average 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

Ambiance: below average to bad. furniture really needs a change and its smelly.
staff: bad... they dress and talk weird.... like one of those anti social school kids dressed/painted in black from whom u want to stay away from.. who knows what they are smoking...
food: was good. (the only reason I gave it below average rating)
I went there since I saw on discovery food that its one of the best place to pig on in seattle (they have a 12 egg omellatte) but I am not going there again.

Mmmm... Grill Brick. 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Unless you're a 14 year-old Goth runaway who wants to score methamphetamine from the waitstaff, steer clear of Beth's. Everything tastes like grill brick.

Pros: They'll let you shoot up in the men's room.
Cons: Lighting, food, service, atmosphere

Good greasy food! 4 Star Rating - Very good

If your in the mood for some traditional breakfast fare, then this is the place for you. I will admit that parking can become a pain in the rear and thats where the parking is. In the rear. The service was friendly and attentive to my coffee needs. Also, the food came out really quick. Keep in mind however that we were the only people in there for a majority of the meal. Bottom line: the food is good, or at least its predictable. I ordered the chicken fried steak and thats what I got. Not to mention, it was delicious.

Pros: Breakfast!
Cons: Parking
