"Souffle pancakes are made by whipping egg whites into the batter then baking. The result is an ethereal cake that is unbelievably lightweight but big on flavor. This one is dotted with fresh strawberries."
Michael Stern
"Specials vary. You might luck out with some huevos verdes."
Jim Ellison
"At Bette's To Go, the shop adjoining the diner, the pastries are nothing short of sensational. This 'chocolate espresso Twinkie' resembles the snack cake only in its shape. It is devilishly devil's foody, robed with fine chocolate, and filled with dairy-rich espresso cream."
Michael Stern
"Bette's corned beef hash has massive amounts of crisp, crunchy edge. The potatoes and beef are coarse cut and delicious. On the side is a muffin made with donut batter: what a good idea!"
Michael Stern
"I automatically love any place that doesn't give in to the Belgian waffle plague. This waffle was made using the batter du jour the day before Christmas, 2007: egg nog."
Michael Stern
"From my counter seat, I watched each fruit in this salad peeled and/or sliced just before it got sent forth to the person who ordered it."
Michael Stern
"The homefries are heavenly."
Jim Ellison
"Bette's at dawn: a good time to come if you don't want to wait in line."
Michael Stern
"No line outside is a good thing... and rare."
Jim Ellison
"Pancakes are Bette's signature dish, so much so that the diner has published a cookbook titled The Pancake Handbook."

"Too bad you can't eat this pie."
