    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.

    DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU ARE HUNGRY AND/OR HAVE KIDS!!! The portions were very small and we all left hungry. They do not serve soft drinks or sweet teas or any tea's. Alcohol or water were the choices. Most of us do not drink. We felt rushed and the food came out almost fast food speed. We left and went out for another dinner. Most of the food was good but tapa sized. Verify the menu also as what was online was not what the menu was when we got there. The place was not that busy and it was loud in there. One bathroom also. Yes, they do have a kids menu so this is just not an adult place. No gravy for my entree which should have had it. No bread served with the meal nor a side salad. Staff bordered on non accomodating to almost rude. Needless to say, this is a one and done. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

    We are sorry you had such a negative experience. We do offer many soft drinks such as Sprecher root beer, cream, and orange sodas along with club soda, cola, ginger ale, ginger beer, and tonic water. We don't have them on a soda gun, and they are on a separate beverage menu. We do also have non alcoholic mocktails available for our guests, but you are correct in that we do not currently offer iced tea. Additionally, we do have two restrooms. We are very sorry if anyone was neglectful or misdirected you, and certainly would not tolerate any employee being rude toward our guests. Please e-mail us to further discuss.

    My family has eaten at J.Betski's many times and have never had a bad meal. Everything from the food, drinks and service was stellar! The food is something you won't get anywhere else, so if you are looking for a different dining experience, you have to give this place a try!
