    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.

    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!

    Definitely eat here as often as you can! They have the best food, try the roasted chicken, so tender and flavorful, or try the Wienerschnitzel, or if they have it, the Chicken Ragu with späetzle. The warm potato salad is really good, so is the sauerkraut, and the cucumber salad. For dessert, try the chocolate torte.  The self-order QR code on your phone is great because the food comes out really fast. We just pace it how we want it and it’s as if someone is reading your mind! You still have wait staff bringing you what you need, you just get to order on your time schedule. It’s genius! The atmosphere is laid-back, not super fancy, but comfortable. Inside can be loud when it’s full. In winter, make sure you bring a little something to wrap around your shoulders as it can be chilly. However, in summer, they have a wonderful covered patio in which is always nice to dine.

    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.
