Where the Locals Eat Rating
Top 100 Restaurant, New Orleans
"Though the restaurant was rebuilt after Katrina, regulars can still find their favorite table or stool at the counter and order reliably pleasing breakfast plates of pancakes, eggs, grits and bacon. Sandwiches and lunch plates take center stage later in the day."
–Gambit Weekly
"At Betsy's, decorated (as a snooty Atlantan once commented) like a car dealership, with plastic streamers hanging from the rafters, all that matters is the food, even if it is nice when the waitresses sometimes call you ‘darlin.' "
–New York Times
"Don't be scared away by the harassed waitresses or the sign advising you to ‘limit your stay to one hour.' Take heart in the crowds: They're New Orleans natives, and they know where to get good food."
