Betty's Diner

We got seated right away. Service here is amazing. Prices were great! Food was awesome. Very clean. Very cute. Outdoor seating available. Super clean bathrooms. So much to look at inside we loved it! Parking lot had tons of potholes but not their fault. Gluten free menu was huge. They let us sub. Out toast for fresh fruit and it was an awesome bowl of fruit! They have small portion plates too.

What a treat to eat at Betty’s with their large gluten free menu. They have a separate grill so not to worry about cross contamination. One of my best meals during my trip.

Great service. The diner sits across the road from Flathead Lake so the view is nice. Not all seating gives you a good view though. Got a cheeseburger and onion rings. The hamburger patty appeared to be pre-formed. The onion rings were not homemade but tasted good. I appreciated that the onion rings did not taste like they had been fried in oil with fish. It wasn't anything to brag about but a decent lunch.

I really love the atmosphere and service at Betty's. They were very accommodating and friendly. They really go for the retro diner vibe. The food itself wasn't great but I really have no complaints overall.

This place stays full & I can see why. We didn’t have to wait long for a table. The gentleman server was super kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. I had a German sausage, which was delicious & my husband had a nice plate of biscuits & gravy. And as a bonus, you get the incredible view of the lake right outside the window. Would definitely stop here again.

This Diner is a fantastic option. Sunday in Polson and everything is closed. We chose to go to Betty's (never been here before) after driving by for years. We didn't know what to expect. It was busy and people looked happy. The daily special was Ruben sandwich soup and Corn Beef Hash and eggs. That's what I ordered and I was completely blown away as to the fresh delicious quality. Then we noticed Betty is the one cooking behind the line, No Wonder!! We wanted to thank her for the hospitality and we really enjoyed everything. The exterior didn't match the cuteness and cleanliness of the interior. Such a wonderful option when in Polson and a fantastic menu with items made from scratch. Thank you Betty for having us. We will definitely be back! Wow!

Great food and generous portion sizes for the price. Food came out as ordered and very quickly. Our service was on point and we left happy, satisfied and full. Definitely recommend and will absolutely eat there again.

An excellent Diner that I chose for their GF menu. Good tasty food, friendly and helpful staff and clearly a loyal base of regular customers. My first taste of American pancakes and they were really good and came with a GF identifying flag. Fantastic selection of flavoured creams to add to coffee - another novelty for us visitors from the UK.

What a great spot right on Flathead Lake in Polson. Right on Highway 93. We stopped in for breakfast and it appears to be THE place in town for breakfast. Great menu, friendly staff, just right portions. Fun memorabilia throughout and cozy. Great local spot with amazing home cooking. This is a must location while visiting Polson!

Has that roadside diner feel and look which drew me in. Service was okay but they were busy. Bud was attentive but "Betty" (her name tag not sure if she was "the Betty" didn't smile much.) They have these gold stars on select menu items which are their "specialty" dishes. So I ordered the Breakfast Skillet with a side of gravy for the hash browns. To be honest, it needed some spicing up and some hot sauce did the trick but it wasn't the best I've had but the price was fair.

Good Breakfast served with a smile by attentive waiter. Great views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Would be even better in the summer. Happy I stopped in for Breakfast and will recommend to everyone.

During our visit to beautiful Montana, we stopped by Betty's, and I'm so glad we did! As soon as you walk in, it's clear why it's called Betty's--with an abundance of Mrs. Boop photos on the walls, it really takes you back to the good old days. The ambiance is wonderful, reminiscent of a classic diner. Unfortunately, the outdoor seating area was closed when we visited, which is something to keep in mind since the indoor space is quite small. The food was delicious--I had the eggs benedict, and they were absolutely perfect. The portion was definitely worth every penny!

Holy moly this place rocks! Best eggs benedict ever! Hubby loved his ham and cheese omelette. Great sausage gravy. Very good service! Super quick and tasty. The place is super clean. You won't be disappointed in Betty's Diner. Enjoy!

For sure support the local businesses out here. Make sure to stop at the pink building you can see it from the street. Small town lakeside servers where name tags how cute. Friendly all kinds of tourists. This place is small inside just like a diner just like it's called Betty 50's diner Home cooking they have smashed potatoes really good. Stop and get a good home made breakfast here. Thank you great break and great service

Betty's Diner has delicious food and friendly servers. It's a must-try if you're in the area.

I have dined in many of the restaurants in all of Lake County. I have yet to find the customer service that matches that of the waitress "Betty", that served me today. The place was packed, she greeted every person with a smile and took care of them as well as cleaned off her tables. Top notch customer service. I wish she would train the wait staff of every place in the valley.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. All meat is fresh, the hamburger was great. Small seating area, looks like all the locals love the place.

Food was great, prepared from mostly local grown meat, eggs and vegetables. Service from "Betty" was fantastic (everyone's name tag said Betty). Small but nicely decorated and humorous signs everywhere. Great place to stop and enjoy the view of Flathead Lake.

Cool retro vibe with great breakfasts. Female wait staff all wore shirts with the name tag "Betty." Who's the real Betty? This is the place where everyone knows your name, and the servers know what you plan to order before you even sat down. We felt like we were crashing a design set on "Cheers," while having fun experiencing the local atmosphere. We ordered the basics: bacon and eggs and French Toast. Everything was delicious, the hospitality was warm and friendly, and the price was right. Overall, this was the best breakfast spot during our road trip through Montana.

We were starving, saw Betty's Diner and very quickly pulled in. Place was packed! That's always a good sign! Got right to a table, and straight to ordering. My Nathan's dog was delish! Big deal, it's a hot dog you say! Oh it was so yummy! Pair it with tater tots and my 10 year old tummy is thrilled! Except, that I am now 62! Hubby's french dip made him very happy! The gals there are so super friendly and are working their tails off! Service with a smile! Gotta love that!

Betty's Diner is a greasy spoon in Polson with really cute decor. There's a lot of breakfast items to choose from and so the ham and cheese omelette it was with "smashed" potatoes and toast. The potatoes were mashed and grilled so they were soft on the top and crispy on the bottom. The omelette had processed cheddar cheese which was a bit inedible but I ate it anyway and the toast was overly buttered for my taste also. Not the best experience by way of service either. Would I go again if I'm in town? Maybe? And try something different more than likely, yes.

A restaurant that lives off of people that will only walk through the doors once! BE WARNED: IF YOU NEED MORE THAN GOOD SERVICE AND GOOD APPLE PIE, KEEP DRIVING... This dump tricks you right off the bat by looking charming, kitsch, inviting, and maybe even a little historic on both the inside and outside. But I don't know about you: food is cheap, and restaurants have a DUTY to feed you generously and creatively. Betty's is nothing less than slapping lipstick on a pig-of-a-restaurant: it's a terrible trap for unknowing tourists hungry after a long ride to Flathead Lake. KEEP DRIVING!!! Don't fall into this trap! Let's start off with the good: very nice and attentive staff. No wait to get seated. The apple pie we bought before we left to bring to a family gathering later that same day got rave reviews. And now the bad: the food was awful, the portion sizes were small, making the price for both the time wasted and money spent humiliating! It's yet another painful example of awful management and shameful ownership that come together to produce a terrible tourist trap and end-feeling that (1) you got ripped off, (2) you just wasted precious vacation/family time at Flathead Lake, (3) and "damn that waiter was so nice, but I hate to condone this experience with a tip... whatever... ok... I'll do it". Want specifics? No problem. Keep reading: The burger could not have been more of an insult!!! At the suggestion of the waitress, I ordered the mushroom and Swiss cheese burger that was exquisitely detailed on the menu. I should have taken a picture of the crap served!!! A small, 3 1/2 inch bun was served with a kiss of mayo on one side, open faced with the smallest 2oz thin over cooked joke-of-a-patty on the other side of the bun. I promise you patty had the equivalent of one Velvita-slice of Swiss cheese melted with maybe a tablespoon of chopped mushrooms on top. Make no mistake: any burger on McDonald's menu was bigger than this insult. Even worse: THAT WAS IT!!! No lettuce, no tomato, no onion. The French fries were disgusting, and a small portion. Soggy, clearly pre-frozen, anemic "white" colored: no golden-brown or crispy experience. Ketchup was needed to drown out the experience entirely. The entree salad was small and uninviting. The kids meal chicken tenders were what you'd expect from a bag from Costco. Even the diet soda was off-balanced between syrup and soda water! Gross, gross, gross!!!

Service is good ambiance is good but the food was super bland and disgusting. There was absolutely no seasoning on the burger patty my gf got, the breakfast skillet i got was the same, absolutely no seasoning on the potatos. The cheese was barely melted. It was a super bummer

We had an overfill breakfast here. Link sausage was awesome. Eggs perfectly cooked, our server was the sweetest and the view of the lake with my coffee was lovely

Food was great, service was even better. Lots of gluten free food for my wife and daughter who have celiac disease. Was told the owner has celiac and the waiter was very knowledgeable on what items on the menu were safe for them.

Always amazing service when we stop in. The food is delicious! The Gluten Free options are the best I've been able to find. It's super cute inside with a beautiful view of the lake.

Service is always great. Atmosphere is fun. Food is pretty good, served in a reasonable amount of time. Just wish they'd serve real butter etc for their pancakes and such. That would make it 5 star.

Service was great! Food was yummy and we all left full. Comfortable setting, this was our first time eating here, we'll be back next time we come through this area.

cute little pink painted diner with lake view. food was typical diner food, nice little pit stop on our trip. we needed a hearty breakfast and thats what we got. we seated ourselves right when we walked in, so no wait time which was nice for our hungry bellies at 11am. I am sure on a nice day its pretty busy but it was rainy and just before lunch so I feel like we hit Bettys at the right time. there is deck seating so if you are in the area and its warm and not rainy you could take advantage of that. if in the area again I would definitely stop at Bettys Diner.

Excellent breakfast. Everything was delicious. The servings were just the right amount.Service was friendly and fast. Fun atmosphere.

Good old fashion home cooking. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. Great service, friendly staff. Fantastic BLT. Great Philly cheesesteak.

I was actually waiting in line at the drive they for Richwine's next door, but the 10 minute wait in our car with no movement made me switch gears and done at Betty's. Parking was available and you can dine in! I was craving a burger and ordered the Betty. Just a delicious classic cheeseburger! Exactly what I needed. I ordered cheese fries and it's not the typical cheddar cheese. At Betty's, they use American. I didn't really care for it, but my boyfriend loved it. I also ordered the huckleberry mimosa (secret menu) and it was a bit too sweet for me. I should've stuck with the huckleberry beer.

Great food...no strike that, fantastic food! The inside was decorated in 1950's nostalgia and the staff was very friendly. The only reason it's not getting five stars is despite what appears to be ample help, the service is a tad bit slow. Don't get me wrong, the staff is super friendly but our prepared food sat under warming lights for nearly five minutes and our coffee cups were empty way too long before anyone came back to refill them. But,...would we come back again? Absolutely

A hidden gem in plain sight. Probably the most reliably tasty breakfast anywhere between Missoula and Whitefish. Just great food and friendly, attentive service, with good humor and no pretense. If you are a fan of corned beef hash, try theirs on a Saturday. You won't regret it!

This is a 'looking back' review from our visit in June. The Good. Many staff were working as quickly as they could to keep up with a busy restaurant. The Meh. Our service, and the disinterest from some of the staff who really could have taken a second to ask what we needed... because we did need a couple of things. We were served fairly timely, but we watched some of the staff stand around and chat. We were trying to minimize our time inside, particularly in tight quarters. It was cold enough that only the toughest of customers was outside. The food was ok, but not worth packing inside. The Bad. Montana was well behind most of the country in covid and it showed in how tightly we were packed inside and how the staff hadn't been directed to take steps to mitigate cross contamination between tables. That, paired with just a 'less than clean' feel, was the reason we decided to not go back during this trip. That said, we might return on another trip through town.

Great food, ambiance is cute and clean, staff is amazing!!! Daily specials and nearly 100% of the menu can be served gluten free for those with intolerances!

I can't give 5 stars this visit because the meal I had was not to my liking, but I will give the place another try because the employees were very nice and the place was very cute and inviting.

Cute little diner with great food and service. Nice variety on the menu so there is something for everyone. Great way to start the day.

Good food, nice staff and great location. We had breakfast and burgers and everything was delicious.

Ordered a Philly. It was awesome. I'll be craving it when we split. The fella that was our server on New Years Eve was awesome to talk to. Good luck with your charity. Get the Philly, be happy.

You won't regret stopping in!! Breakfast at Betty's is awesome but even better was the excellent service! They even acted like they enjoyed working together, which is far too rare these days. The locals are also very kind to visitors!

Marginal. Just so so food and service. Very uneventful but it food and better than some other choices for breakfast and lunch. Don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. It is what it is.

Gosh. This place is the Best. The Staff are Beautiful and a rare treat. The Clam Chowder, the steak sandwich and breakfast. All is Well Indeed at Betty´s... Good Gosh, go eat here, now. For Real.

My husband liked his club sandwich very much and the clam chowder was the best I've had in years. Staff was friendly and fun.

We heard about this place while visiting friends, and had to stop in for breakfast. It was great: service, food, atmosphere. We really enjoyed it and definitely recommend it!

Service is excellent. All the servers wear nametags that read "Betty." 60s diner atmosphere is fun. The good part of this review is over. I've mulled this over for a few hours, trying to figure out why the reviews are generally so positive. The locals seem to love this place. The parking lot is full of local license plates (15- Lake County). The iced tea was pretty good. It helped wash down the food. The fish and chips were mealy, both the French fries and the fish tasted like frozen, packaged grocery store products. The chewy textures were the same. The tartar sauce was inedible. Cole slaw was not good either. Did I mention that the iced tea was good?

Great American food at a good price protions we're large and this place is very family friendly a must when in Polson

Great place to eat with a great view of the lake. Their grilled cheese sandwich is really good, along with all their burgers that they have. Great service, they are friendly with customers. It's a great location since they are across from the lake. I recommend going their if you haven't already.

Amazing food and wonderfully friendly service. I really wish I lived in Polson so I could frequent Betty's. Thank you for a great diner experience!

After fleeing the terrible service and food at "the shoe" where everything is blamed on covid. we went to Betty's and had fast excellent service and good food.

Had a wonderful breakfast! Food was top notch...staff very friendly. Highly recommend this quirky little diner.

Place is what you'd hope for. Just off the main road. Great Customer service and great diner food. Came here on Labor Day morning and place was packed they had a great attitude and were fast as could be expected Would definitely recommend. Also across the street is a great view of the lake. We will be back.

I enjoyed warmed Apple pie with excellent vanilla ice cream. So I went back for breakfast. Unfortunately, the cook was unable to fulfill our order specifications for extra crispy has browns and well done, very dark sour dough toast. Our impression was that the cook prepared the food just as usual. The hash browns were not even cooked through in the center. The toast was only toasted on one side, and not even brown. Finally, there was an unpleasant taste on the exterior part of the omelette, like residual from an uncleaned grill. A shame, really, because this place has a long history and a 1950s decor that is really welcoming. I can't comment on any of their meat dishes because we didn't try any. Not sure we will be returning.

What a disappointment! The waitress couldn't be bothered with writing down my order, and she got it completely wrong. In addition the fries were barely cooked. Very disappointing! Would never go back.

We love this place. First time visit today with fantastic smashed potatoes, egg scramble, bacon, etc. Service may have been the best of any restaurant ever. Effortless and engaging

This is a cute diner. Pretty tight space wise on the inside but the food was delicious! I had French toast and bacon, and they gave me enough food for at least 2 people. They don't skimp on portion sizes at all! I also order sweet potato fries and these were the best sweet potato fries I have had anywhere. All the food was fresh and made to order. Great experience

Excellent service, easy parking, GREAT food. very friendly staff, and coffee and water cups were never empty (you know that's important). Friendly atmosphere; everything you want in a roadside diner
