The food was so bland I had to use my own seasoning on it..the steak was very very hard to chew and swallow, parts of the poached egg was undercooked.. as you can see from the pic….the only decent part of my entire order was the homemade potato’s.. you can see that they used seasoning on the potatoes but you just can’t taste it.. the container it came in was very flimsy.. so everything was squished..
I cannot rave enough about this place! I just ordered it for the off Grubhub and I was not disappointed! The food was hot and AMAZING. People were not kidding when they say they have some of the best corned beef hash. It has nice chunks of corned beef! I’m not a huge syrup person, but they did forget my syrup with my pancakes. No biggie thought cause everything else was fabulous. Highly recommend. Screw what everyone else says and go and try it for yourself! You won’t be disappointed!
I went there last week for the first time and the food was amazing! And for a good price too! I highly suggest checking this place out. Only downside I can think of is the place needs a little bit of tidying up.
Owner was great. Best breakfast ever. Myself and my Uncle were up from Binghamton N.Y. my wife is at Albany medical center with a broken hip. She made us feel at home. Came back next morning and she asked about my wife. I will be in Friday morning for breakfast with my uncle. Thank you for a amazing breakfast.
I can only speak for the meal I had Philly Cheese Steak, which consist of shredded cheddar cheese (maybe from a bag), and diced chunks of steak. The sauce used on the steak lacked flavor, and the sandwich was server on roll (I was not given a bread option). It was a meal I wish I never have to eat again.On the positive the hospitality was good.
Go elsewhere. Simple instructions such as no cheese please are ignored. Couldnt eat all 3 items I ordered.
Came in with a big party celebrating an elder family members birthday with many generations of family and children. They served us cooked ants in the pancakes to the kids. It was disgusting we had to leave immediately after canceling all the other orders. Every time Ive gone there the service and food was subpar but I will never go back again after that. Too bad too because the owner is good person.
Cute little hidden spot with fun decor and delicious breakfast basics. We were glad we found our way down for the best homemade corned beef hash!
This place is a must visitThe decor is indeed very Betty Boop. The food is very Betty good also.
Great food 😋 Awesome prices largep ortions
Very chill place. Tasty food. Awesome prices! Genuine diner. Cool find for the Mansion area. Oh! And very warm and inviting staff
Very quaint dinner full of character. Good food friendly service with a smile.
Most disgusting place to eat on planet earth. Flies, ants, cobwebs, no mask or gloves, waitress was about 70 years old with her hair shedding on the food, food quality was the lowest of the lowest, the food was bland and old like it’s been refrigerated for months, & I wouldn’t put it past them cause it was no other customers in there, even the toast tasted funny & that was the only thing that tasted decent on the plate. Another older lady was cooking & I see why the food tasted the way it was. Please don’t get carried away by the cheap menu, cause trust me, you’ll get what You pay for.
Great food, great service! A lovely place to grab breakfast. Fun decor and the sweetest staff!
Great Food. Great Service. A classic diner. Just a heads up…no credit cards…they accept cash, Venmo, or CashApp.
The order came early which is good but my wife didnt get exactly what she ordered, she ordered the full French toast with eggs. It was supposed to come with the meat - bacon, sausage and ham in addition with the eggs. She received no meat with the order. I ordered 2 bacon eggs and cheese sandwiches,both arrived with no cheese. Every time we order, the food arrives with something missing. We order via grubhub.
Great food, service, and value. Energetic and spunky staff who made sure everything was just right.
Best breakfast food EVER! Best place in the 518 to eat, best ownership, servers, and exceptional food.
Food was cooked to perfectionAnd the staff was great
Perfect place to take your side peace cuz, its secluded.
My first time eating here, it was wonderful experience. The atmosphere is awesome. Besides Im a Betty Boop fan.
Delicious spinach omelette! Fresh!
Busy, but super cute place with great food and friendly service.
Such a cute place! Wonderful atmosphere. Great food. Definitely recommend!
Good food 😋
Delicious french toast!
Came to Albany to bring my father-in-law to the VA hospital from an hour away. Lo and behold the VA cancelled his appt. I did a Google search to find a diner. Thought the neighborhood was iffy, but we were hungry so we proceeded to try it out. We were greeted immediately upon entering. Service was quick, with a genuine smile. Although Ive been in the industry 30 years, I never tell the wait staff because I want true, genuine service. Well, she didnt disappoint. Considering we had to get back home a little over an hour away, I am pleased to say we were in & out in under 40 minutes. Im sorry I didnt ask my servers name so I could give her a little recognition here. From one server/manager to another, you could tell it wasnt her first Rodeo. Dont let the neighborhood fool you. This place is definitely Albanys DIAMOND in the RUFF.
This place is Rat infested. Do not eat here!!!!
Dont live to far from this diner i usually order breakfasts but today i decided to order the lunch special instead of breakfast due to my last experience wich was wrong and disgusting and highly disappointing so todays lunch promotion was a meatball sub for five dollars now Betty Boops Diner promotes comfort food so you would expect their meat ball sub to be good i modified my order and asked for two cheeses provolone and cheddar on both of my subs it comes with onions so i asked for onions on one of my subs with French fries on the side i called and placed my order and i waa rudely rushed off the phone they told me 10 minutes my food would be ready and it took 25 so i arrived at the restaurant and waited another 10 minutes and realized my food was just sitting in the back while they served the customers who were dining in to eat as i stool at the register waiting finally i was assisted i asked for ketchup and salt n pepper packets and added two can sodas to the order before they told me my total was 13.00 dollars even with the two subs and my french fries with the two can sodas my total was now 18.90 i gave the cashire a 20.00 dollar bill and she walked away i waited for my change my one dollar and ten cents for 5 minutes expecting the cashire to give me my money back and she comes back and says the total was 18.90 as if it was 20.00 dollars even or if she deserved a tip so i asked for my change and she walked away so i just give her the 1.10 $ and leave when i get into my house my meal is all wrong instead of two cheeses i have 1 on both my subs white american and cheddar no onion at all and the sub bread was soggy as if its been sitting so i call back its the same rude lady who picked up the phone the first time so i explained it was wrong and she insisted it was correct i asked for a refund and she told me no come back to the restaurant and they would remake it but i was so dissatisfied all i wanted was my money back i asked to speak to management. And was told she was busy and dont no what to tell me i advise all to just go to south pearl diner instead of bettys because no one should be treated how i was today
Walked in at 10:00 PM on a Monday and was greeted super enthusiastically and very warmly. Staff was excellent and MAJORLY hospitable. Its like walking into your cool aunts Kitchen. Food was awesome, service was excellent - this place Slaps. 10 stars.
Wonderful, best burger ever
Please AVOID at all cost. Horrible food... and the service is appalling!!
Cant complain about a place that is open 24hrs nowadays when nothing is basically 24hrs anymore. No matter when I call for an order of pick up its always ready in 10 minutes ! The staff there is always friendly. I have tried the scrambled eggs, french toast, burger, fish fry. All were good.
I love Betty Boops! If I had rate Betty Boops from 1 to five stars.... I will give a rateing of 10! The home cooked food is the best!😘
I love Betty Boop so this place was really fun for me. Very pleasant staff and attentive service. Their menu has lots of great choices for breakfast and lunch. Our food came quickly and was yummy. Will definitely go there again.
My husband & I stopped in for breakfast on a Saturday, he got the cornbeef & egg breakfast and I got poached eggs & toast! We also got a short stack of blueberry pancakes to share! The food was AMAZING but we loved the staff even more! Super friendly ladies! We enjoyed every minute we were there! We’re from out of town but if we’re ever in the area again we will definitely be back!
The best food I ever tasted if you ever want to go to a diner this is definitely the place to go
What a hidden gem. Food was great, place was clean prices good and portion size was large. I highly recommend if you are in the area go try it you wont be disappointed.
Just made a quick stop on the way home. Positively surprised! Great food and atmosphere! Staff was very friendly. Greetings from Mtl!
We rolled in 11 deep at midnight on a whim, not realizing how small the place is or that its a 1 person operation at that hour. Donna rose to the challenge and knocked it out of the park. Everyones meal came out hot and delicious, with generous portions of home cooked deliciousness. We had a great time (apologies to the couple who might have thought they were going to have a quiet meal together) and well certainly be back. Such a gem!
Everyone is so nice and the food is GREAT! I love it
Great food! Excellent service! Awesome people! Adorable setting! A must try if you have not already!
Small cute restaurant. Not the fanciest but clean and the food is very good. The staff is very friendly and happy to chat you up. They have a large variety of both breakfast and dinner options. Will go to again.
Awesome little diner! Be prepared for intimate like setting and the staff is very friendly and accomodating. The diners pet dog mascot was Sadie and she was a delightful companion to the quaint eatery. Will go again if I am in town
Food was good.
My brother & I just had some great food ...we love to visit local diners and once again we found another local gem 💎 ... I had the spinach & mushroom omelette and my brother had the philly cheese steak with fries ....the food was great and you get big portions for a reasonable price. I do recommend this location to anyone who is looking for great food and great service....not sure if it is a 24/7 diner. and it’s a cash only diner so please make sure you bring some cash . My brother and I will definitely stop by again .😁👍🏻 ....THANK YOU ....sincerely: Marco & Lance of Dallas, Texas .
Small quiet diner with a friendly staff. Order came quickly. It looks like the corned beef hash was made from deli slices. I wish it hand been hand cut pieces from a bigger chunk. Decor was very interesting in a historic building.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and food.The real address is 115 Philip street. Everything was absolutely great,fast,and I must say: this is one of the best diners Ive ever been in and i have been in food service for 26yrs.
Good breakfast with excellent potatoes. Low prices with generous portions. A nice surprise in Albany.
Excellent food and service. The staff are super friendly and efficient. The decor has a cool classic twist to it, which makes for a homey atmosphere. Will definitely be back!
Dont worry about the neighborhood... this place is a hidden gem ! Incredible food and super down to earth, friendly people. Go!
If you can find it, you must go here at least once in your life. Cash only tho. Quality is great, service is great, price cant be beat. Its just well hidden in a hole in the wall back near the capital plaza. I get a huge kick out of the Boop theme. They have quite a collection.
Good food, filling meal and coffee, bacon could be much better (and replies from the restaurant could be more personal than the same copy/paste)
Small cozy mom and pop feeling place. Amazing food and service. Had an omelette with homefries and toast. Very good. Definitely going to be a repeat visitor.
Really excellent home style food. We have ordered hash with eggs and were very happy. Owner is really friendly.
Reviewed this previously. I pass this location several times every 24 hours. I never see anyCustomers. Tables always empty. Even with weekend summer 24 hour. Hard to find parking. Not a safe neighborhood. A nice idea not working.Subpar.
Lovely lady running the place at night and cute decor. But the food was nearly inedible and there was a dog, while sweet, around the food, which called cleanliness into question.
Truly one of the best diners in Albany. No matter what you get it will be good, but try the fruit pancakes if you can. They are divine.
Fast service. Friendly people. Good food. Clean. And terrific Betty Boop memorabilia!
Omg! I ordered 2 different dishes (French toast and the combo omelette) because I was very hungry and couldnt decide. Both were absolutely delicious especially the French toast. The French toast was lightly buttered, fully cooked and fluffy on the inside (because of their thoughtful choice of bread) and a little crispy on the outside like its supposed to be. The owner/chef were attentive and hospitable. You can tell that both took pride in their establishment. You can taste it in the food and quick service. I will be a regular customer here. Thank you so much!
Rolled in just past midnight and Donna served up a hearty fried egg sandwich for me. She was very friendly and thoughtful.
Friendly service and good food. Great breakfast spot.
Went here today, for my birthday breakfast, and was stunned by how good it was. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet. The portions were big for a small price, but a little bit too big. Some very fatty pieces of ham, but a very yummy omelet. Nice environment! Very homemade flavor, which is a great thing for a diner to have. My waitress was very kind, and since she over heard it was my birthday she gave my brother and I a free slice of cake :) Very good food, and I would definitely recommend to stop by at Betty Boop diner while youre in Albany :)
Great place for casual dining. Unfortunately it was back in 2014. How I got caught by visiting today Betty boops no clue..😂😂😂
Awesome breakfast everyone Ive gone. Casual. Bottomless coffee. They take only cash.
A+ good service great good and reasonably priced
Good food but homefries were a bit spicy on last visit. They no longer accept credit cards.
Excellent food, great prices! New hot spot!
I dont know how they cook their bacon but its always shriveled up curled up very thin. The toast I dont know how they toasted bread but its not likely Brown toasted its still white but hard as if they gave your day old bread. I always order over medium eggs any time I go there definitely always having one of my yolks broken. Home fries look like they will overcooked overall bad experience the four times I went there was not satisfied. Only went because it was close to my ladys house. Will not be going there at all anymore. The best thing the place got going for itself is all the Betty Boop figurines
I love all the comments about the neighborhood, I live on park Ave right down the street from this place, and it might look like a rough neighborhood but, NOTHING ever happens here lol, the police station is within throwing distance from the front door and its actually really quiet this far back from Grand and Madison. Ive lived here over a year and the most eventful thing thats happened was the fire on Myrtle. People in this neighborhood actually look out for eachother too, its not like other more upperclass places Ive lived where no one knows eachother. Anyway, its been a while since me, my wife and daughter were at Betty Boops but the home fries are ridiculously good and you get a ton of food. Me and my wife are planning on coming in next weekend so I did a quick Google and saw these hilariously incorrect comments so I had to say something lol see you soon.
Ive heard the food here is very good I had just passed by and looked inside the interior of this restaurant it is so adorable theyve got Betty boop memorabilia all over the place is really really nice so nice eating area I dont know if they serve in the winter but they sure do serve from Spring until fall. but I hear the food is very quite good but it can be a little pricey most say but I dont think so I looked at the priceless and its very reasonable.
Food was fair service great ambiance great.
Amazing breakfest sandwiches!!!
The owner is a credit card thief be careful providing your car information
Cute little place. Breakfast was EXCELLENT AND the price was GREAT must remember its CASH ONLY.
Great place,great hospitality!,a new gem I found
Great place to bring the family for breakfast lunch dinner....plate sizes are huge.....nice little spot in the cut....love the decorations....
Good food nice place
Good food and friendly staff.
Real nice places... good food friendly staff highly recommend this restaurant if you in the Albany area
Ordered French Toast And Bacon for take out. French toast on a thick slice of bread no flavor. Bacon was broken up I believe I had 1 1/2 pieces of bacon. Did not get any napkins or utensils for my tale out. Compared to the other diners in Albany. I would not waste my time at Betty Hoop. Oh and they dont take Visa or MasterCard nor do they have a atm.
Great place
Great service and excellent food.. Love the place.. Support small businesses!!
It was horrible. I ordered eggs over medium they were runny. The bacon was deep fried and void of any flavor at all. It took forever for them to bring toast to our table and finally as a final insult there was some foreign object in the bottom of my coffee cup. I almost threw up after I pulled the stringy substance out of my mouth. NEVER AGAIN.
Cute, consistent, themed decor and lovely owner/server woman. Better than average diner food for breakfast, which is all I go there for.
Great little place, smack dab in the middle of the Southend. Good food, great portions. Always friendly. Love coming on sundays after church.
Food was ok. Not great but not bad either
Great staff, a bit of a wait. Cash only. Always a Great experience
My gf & I was in town from Dallas,TX! Food was Amazing! You get A LOT of food & the prices are cheap! Also our waiter was Awesome! Def going again!!!
Great atmosphere ! food is good, ample, & reasonable $$$. do visit !
Great service & great food such a pleasant place to eat
Very good, hospitality on point food come out very quick, friendly service
Delicious food and friendly staff
