We like coming here for brunch. There is always a line. They make good breakfasts, like eggs, bacon and hashbrowns. Their cream scones are yummy. They also do other things extremely well. I had a frisee salad with poached egg, and my husband had a burger, and both were delicious. It looks like a diner but since it's in Berkeley... more

My family and I went to Bette's for lunch based on tripadvisor's rating of this establishment. Very dissappointed! We waited over an hour to get a table. The service was terrrible and the waitress seemed very flustered. My mother in law ordered a reuben and it was very dry. The food was VERY mediocre. I do not recommend this place... more
