    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!

    We decided on dinner at the last minute after a rough week and J Betski's was a delight and the perfect antidote. The service was, as always, friendly, yet low-key and unobtrusive. The food was outstanding, a nice mix of old favorites and something new. There was a quiet but energetic and multigenerational buzz. The grab-and-go is a nice touch to keep the magic going through the week. This remains one of the most genuine restaurants going, well worth a visit.

    Small portions, high prices. We were told to order food from online menu. I saw that other diners were given regular menus. We were not given that option. Disappointing as I try to keep everyone off the phones especially in restaurants. Food was OK. the portions were very small. Dessert was streudel with ice cream on top and the streudel was cold. Saurkraut had cinnamon in it. ??? Won't go back.
