Located at 193 Henry St in New York, BETTY is quickly garnering attention as a go-to American restaurant renowned for its inviting atmosphere and delectable offerings. Customers rave about the friendly staff and the cozy vibe, making it an ideal spot to unwind.
Many reviews highlight standout dishes such as the fried chicken bites, celebrated for their exceptional flavor. Reviewers like Aron Canter couldn't resist ordering them twice, complementing the amiable service from a charming staff member. Bill Young enthusiastically noted the incredible salmon, which exceeded his expectations from what he initially considered a casual eatery.
Brunch enthusiasts will appreciate the "You Betty Be Ready" plate, which Joseph Hewes described as a delightful medley of a classic American breakfast. The mini roasted potatoes received particular praise. Yet, there’s room for improvement in menu accessibility, as Joe N pointed out—specifically regarding the cocktail options, which he hopes will be featured on their website soon.
With reasonable prices and a relaxed ambiance enhanced by chill music, BETTY is not just a meal; it’s an experience worth sharing. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this hidden gem is definitely a must-visit for food lovers.

I never do this but I just had to. The food, the service, the whole vibe, just so cool and so comfortable and the food is great and everyone is so cool. The tall man w the braids is so charming and nice! Everyone listened and had charming things to say, it’s just the best way to spend an hour or two. Get the fried chicken bites, a particularly polite blond waitress recommended them and, well, I got two! Oh and the music is so chill and cool, and then I got the pie. Yum!

love Betty's, reasonable prices and some really good dishes. The hanger steak is great, even if it's sometimes over or undercooked. Brunch items are great, everyone working there is always chill. They make a really nice teapot as well I notice the website doesn't have the cocktail menu on it, I was curious what was available around brunch time, but I couldn't find it. I hope they'll see this review and add the full drink menu to their website

Found Betty just walking by after the fireworks. Thought it was just a "Hole in the Wall" to grab a quick bite. Man was I wrong. Ya it's smallish, but the wow the food and music I actually liked. Great friendly staff. The Salmon was incredible. Very reasonably priced in my opinion. Definitely will be back when I'm down that way.

Great LES breakfast spot! Came in on Wednesday at 11AM. No wait, were seated immediately. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The ambiance of the place was comfortable as well. My friends and I all got the "You Betty Be Ready". Classic American breakfast, you get a little bit of everything with this plate. The meal was yummy, my favorite part were the whole mini roasted potatoes :) I heard the waitress talking about how they are also a bar, so I'll have to be back to check that out.

**First timer review** Ssssooooo, what had happened was. We were gonna stop at another restaurant but the wait was 2 1/2 dang hours!!! So the hostess suggested Betty. And boy lemme tell you she didn’t miss!! Nice little spot. Mellow vibes, soft lighting, friendly staff, and simple but effective decor. Prices are very reasonable,the food came out fast, and to perfection. A definite recommendation for anyone local or visiting the area.

Have been here twice now and it seems consistent. Excellent food and service, these people are especially nice. We had an infant along and they did everything to accommodate, right down to the high chair. The menu is simple but solid, I had the Betty Burger, medium rare and it was! Very tasty and fresh, fries were delicious. The roasted cauliflower with a unique sumac sauce was excellent as well. My partner enjoyed a very crisp gin and tonic that she raved about. The service here is impeccable and the atmosphere is laid back and comfortable. We will return, dying to try breakfast!
