    Found this place via a Google searching looking for bottomless mimosas! My cousin and I went to this place and had an absolute blast loved everything about it. We went there for lunch at 1:30pm and didn't leave until after dinner around 8:00pm because we were having so much fun. I think the food and drinks were responsibly priced and the food was delicious all of us loved what we ordered. But our waiters were the cherry on top both were super friendly, quick and always checking on us, love the service!! And love that they take reservations!!

    Always a fun time at Betty's! Consistent food. Only downside is that the margaritas are quite pricey.
