Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
J. Betski's offers "stellar" German and Polish cuisine with "excellent" flavors and a modern twist. Diners enjoy the variety of "amazing" pierogies and the "tender, delicious" dishes. While the app-based ordering system is efficient, it may not appeal to everyone. Outdoor seating provides a more pleasant atmosphere.

    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!

    The Jägerschnitzel was fabulous! I will return to try it again. There is very little atmosphere and it was rather noisy at times. We were supposed to scan a QR code to get the menu but that does not appeal to us so we asked for a paper menu and the server was happy to oblige.

    Excellent food, fun and efficient service (casual atmosphere/self order), small portion scallop entre but price more appropriate for larger portion.

    The ambiance was appropriately "old-world". Menu items were authentic, tasty, and a great value. The cocktails were great (Perfect Manhattans) and the wine list was very serviceable. The staff was friendly and effective, clearing the table quickly and courteously. Although the ordering method (QR code only) was very "21st Century" and efficient, I'm not sure I'm a fan. One of my favorite parts of dining out is interacting with the server; menu descriptions, banter, suggestions., etc. We had a little of that as the staff was certainly available, but it seemed something was lacking. Still, I highly recommend this restaurant for the great food & beverage quality, staff friendliness & price/value offerings.

    Excellent food and service! We sat outside and a server quickly brought us water, told us about the specials, and explained how to order on our phone. I should have asked about WiFi b/c my signal was quite weak there. Using the order system was super easy and the food came out super fast. Every restaurant should use this system! No need to get your server’s attention to order or bring the check makes everything more efficient. The only suggestion I have is to add WiFi password to the card with the menu QR code. It might already be there - I didn’t think to look or ask. We will be back!

    Had the best time here last night. The QR code menu meant we had drinks and apps out in literally 5 minutes after we sat down. Our 1 year old basically starts a stopwatch of 20 minutes after we sit down until she is “all done” so this speediness meant we could actually enjoy a glass of wine and talk before the wheels came off! The food is delicious and the service was so kind and fast. The ambiance is elevated but still casual. Will definitely be back!

    If you are looking for authentic German/Polish food, this is the place to go. We hadn't been since they moved, and the food is as good as always. We liked their new ordering system where the guest can control when to order and done via phone. Food arrives promptly and delicious!
