My Review by maddiec110501426 on 3/18/2013 via Citysearch
Finding a good, authentic schnitzel around here is near impossible. J Betski's is your best bet(ski) when it comes to delicious and authentic German faire. They import an amazing, smoky German Dopplebock imported from Bamberg. The food…

My Review by OldeRaleigh on 6/23/2012 via Citysearch
Note that the good reviews are old. We also enjoyed Betski's a year ago. Do they have new management or chef? Food at a recent visit was extremely disappointing. Some cabbage/grain side dish was so salty it was inedible. We had to send the…

Great food with good service by mahtahari on 10/24/2011 via Citysearch
I took my 91 year old father here for dinner for his birthday along with my 5 year old and hubby. We had a wonderful experience. Although there are no kids menus, our waiter, Brad, steered us in the right direction and my daughter ate…

J Betski's has good, authentic Polish and German food by Jessica H on 9/23/2009 via Insider Pages
My friends and family LOVE J Betski's for their authentic German and Polish food. They serve lunch and dinner and have a pub menu or a table service menu.

Great Food! by Southern Belly on 8/30/2009 via Citysearch
Great Food. Everything on menu is incredible. You have to get the pierogies, whatever ones they have on the menu. Wine and beer list is pretty good. Staff was great as well. The place is pretty small, which makes for a cozy evening,…

Great food, slowish service by mes1979 on 7/15/2009 via Citysearch
First time I have been there and it was really great. The food was tasty and very fresh. I tried lots of the pub plates and the appetizers in order to try a wide range of flavors...that was the way to go and was plenty of food. We also…

The "Birthday Restaurant" for Everyone in the family by AMDG on 6/27/2009 via Citysearch
Wonderful German Draft beers and unique wines highlight a small, but amazingly satisfying selection of entrees. Try the homemade Kielbasas! \r \r We have tried almost everything on the menu... you just can't go wrong. We typically go…

Fun new place to try by A P on 6/9/2009 via Insider Pages
Tried J Betski's with friend who has actually been to Germany - so I relied on him for a bit of help with the menu. We went late at night so there wasn't too much of a crowd - and really just went for a sampling from the menu. Everything…

Excellent! by rickymakers on 3/20/2009 via Citysearch
I've tried many of the food dishes here and haven't been disappointed. The flavors really stand out! The pierogies are wonderful as well as the kielbasa. I also really liked the duck confit I tried last time I was in. The chef switches…

Good German and Polish Cuisine by Donna K on 11/25/2008 via Insider Pages
. Polish Cuisine, you'll like J. Betski's. The service is good, and the food is great. J Betski's is located in a gentrified section of shops and restaurants just north of downtown Raleigh. it serves excellent polish and german food. the…

More Than We Expected! by SWrenn on 7/11/2008 via Citysearch
Chef/Owner John K is a family member of ours. He had invited us to come and dine for several months. And being of a Southern Heritage, We really had not been exposed to German food before. Finally we decided, Lets give it a try, we really…

Great place to eat and relax! by nicholeAW on 7/2/2008 via Citysearch
My husband and I had plans to go to another restaurant, but found that a private party had it booked and J. Betski's was the alternative. Boy am I glad! Being of mostly German heritage, I have tasted a wide variety of heartburn inducing…

Excellent dinner. Good service. Small place, so make reservations on weekends! by mikewqa on 6/29/2008 via Citysearch
You DO need to make reservations on Fri/Sat night. It's such a small place and was completely packed. I was a bit concerned about some of the reviewers' experiences here. My (half-German) wife had eaten here a couple weeks before and…

wonderful food, terrible service by porcelina08 on 5/28/2008 via Citysearch
I brought my family to J. Betski's to impress them with the wonderful beer and wine list, rich cuisine and fantastic service. My family and I were seated on the patio and from there it was down hill. Our server took far too long to bring…

Incredible! by vtguy22 on 4/30/2008 via Citysearch
I brought my wife here for her birthday, and all I can say is wow! I had the beet salad, chicken, and chocolate cake for desert. She had the fish and stuedel, and an appetizer I can't recall. We were both blown away by all of the…

No way by Joezilla on 4/19/2008 via Citysearch
The place was small, and the service was great. However, $8 for one bratwurst on the appetizer menu? What? The bratwurst was mediocre and tiny, the chicken we ordered was horrible. Too greasy, nothing special at all. Way Way overpriced for…

Everything but desert by nedlymandiko on 4/12/2008 via Citysearch
I have been here quite a few times, and have really enjoyed myself in the past. I am going to review my most recent affair at j-betskis. Excellent bar-tending with prompt friendly service. The room itself is quite small, and they really…
