"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!!!"
