    Fantastic new location and super efficient ordering as everything is ordered digitally. They still had plenty of folks who could explain menu items and answer other questions. The new environment was a little on the noisy side versus the old, but I think it’s fitting for their experience. Some creative options versus last time we were there as well – great place overall.

    This is one of our favorites restaurants in Raleigh and again, the appetizers, meal, and drinks were delicious. J. Betski’s serves the best perogies and an appetizer we always look forward to getting. Highly recommended for a nice meal.

    We sat outside as it is quieter. It is a casual place. No need to dress up. Good German food.

    The food was great, nice variety on the menu, but we had difficulty with ordering using the Toastab menu app. Fortunately the servers are wonderful and they brought menus and took our orders. The duck was delicious, as was the filet. If you like German and Polish food, this is a great spot in Raleigh!

    The experience was as good as normal. Some portions seem to have been smaller than normal.
