"First time here, the parking lot the quite full but we had no problem getting a table right away. The menu is extensive, I could've been there for an hour just reading the menu and trying to decide. I love steak fajitas so I went with the grilled steak fajita taco salad. I'm not sure what kind of grill we're talking about here, but the pieces of steak in this salad were sadly not grilling size, unless we're talking about a griddle. They would fall through grill grates easily, they were really small. Definitely not the steak I expected. I saw a picture of steak fajitas in another review and it looks much different, so it may be that this is just the salad steak. The taco shell bowl was really good and the rest of the salad ingredients were good and really fresh. My friend ordered a burrito dish that she said was really good, but the description said 2 burritos and that seemed like a lot, so she asked if they're smaller size and she responded yes. They were not small. They really should offer half size options on these meals. We weren't going somewhere that we could take leftovers, so an entire burrito ended up wasted. Loved the chips and salsa. The service could use some work we both felt the server was not very friendly and seemed almost annoyed by our questions. She also took our plates at one point, but then left us sitting there wondering when she might return with our check. Eventually we packed up and waited by the door to pay because we were on a schedule. The ambience we were sitting in the bar area, so maybe to be expected, but there was a uproarious group of 6 or 7 people behind us telling their life stories, just dropping F bombs left and right, which made for some awkward funny moments for sure. Overall not a terrible experience, but not one I'm in a hurry to rush back to."

"I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was friendly and polite. The front-of-house staff were cheerful and provided excellent service. I enjoyed a late breakfast with my mother and daughter. We ordered two large pancakes served with butter and syrup, along with a side of bacon for my little one. My mother and I chose the hash, which came with two eggs, a choice of toast, and beef. I also had the duck bacon, which was delicious. The hash was a delightful surprise, featuring a mix of onions, green peppers, and what seemed to be carrots combined with fresh potatoes and strips of beef. It was heavenly. I particularly enjoyed their expertly made single espresso, which added to the overall experience. While the prices are a bit higher for the area, they are reasonable considering the quality, portion sizes, and presentation. There's an additional dining room upstairs, although I didn't take any photos of it. They even had high chairs available for my little one. Beth's Kitchen is an excellent choice for all-day breakfast, lunch, or even a cozy spot for coffee and conversation. If you're in the area, missing out on this place would be a mistake. I give it a solid five stars!"

"First time visiting here, ordered for to-go for my family. My husband and I waited for the order. The front staff and the kitchen staff were super friendly and kept checking in with us, they were great! The young girl running the bar was less than friendly and gave us attitude for picking songs on the music player even though we paid to pick songs, told us This is a restaurant not a club, move on , super rude considering we paid for the songs we were picking. Thankfully the front staff was beyond friendly and made us feel welcome. The food was delicious and my kids loved it."
