Seattle Restaurant Reviews: Beth's Cafe

most excellent hashbrowns.
very stinky afterwards you'll smell.

it's a solid diner with good sized plates for a reasonable price.  and it's open very late.  in fact, i'm not sure they even close, i was there at 5:30am after a night of drinking.

also, nothing phases the servers there.  i think they've seen everything.

I've only been to Beth's once, but my initial impression is that it is a pretty good place.  I enjoyed the bottomless coffee and the all you can eat hashbrowns.  The juke box, and the WWBD (What would bacon do?) spinner on the wall were definite perks.  My only complaint was that the coffee was lukewarm, but at least it was plentiful.  I would also like to see the 12 egg omelet for my own gluttonous enjoyment.

During my first and second years of grad school, this place was a savior. Diners are not as popular out here as they are on the East Coast, so when you've got the munchies at 3 AM, or you've just had sex for the past five hours straight and you don't feel like cooking, or you're like me and have experienced both simultaneously, you're thankful for the bottomless coffee and hash browns at this 24 hour joint.

I see no problem with staff who happen to have body art, and if you knew anything about extreme amphetamines or basic organic chemistry, you'd know that an addict would be completely incapable of holding a job.  In addition, whoever says this is a health code violation hasn't been keeping up with the reports.

This is a great place to eat after the bar hour. The staff are friendly and cool. Just because they have tattoos and piercings doesn't make them bad.  It is very clean and the drawings on the wall are rockin'.  The skillets and omelettes are ably made and service is snappy. I've drank about 11 cups of coffee in 90 minutes because they kept re-filling my cup. After staying awake for 3 days, I realized I need to hide my cup from them. Can't beat the all-you-can-eat hash browns.

If you don't mind eating food prepared by people who resemble the individuals mooching change on University Avenue to buy heroin, then this is the place for you.  There is nothing redeeming about this restaurant.  It is a health code violation waiting to happen.

It is definitely a 24 hour, rock'n'roll greasy spoon.  Lot's of good diner food breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  It is the best breakfast I've had after midnight.  We like to split an omelette with all you can eat hash browns.  The coffee keeps coming too.  I've seen my regular late breakfast companion consume at leat ten cups of coffee in the course of a meal.  This behavior is encouraged at Beth's. 

great greasy-spoon atmosphere, walls covered in crayon "artwork", omelets as big as you can imagine them (seriously, last time i was there the group behind me had a 2-foot diameter 3-inch thick pile of omelet), and all you can eat hash browns.  jukebox with good music, and every once in a while the staff members share words of wisdom over the loudspeaker.
