Living in Falmouth, I've surprisingly never had the chance this diner before. It sticks out like a sore thumb in a good way; it has a proper retro, decorative American vibe. The prices are basically the same compared to other breakfast diners in the area. There was only one waitress, and she was pretty patient with costumers. The food was a bit disappointing. I decided to do a takeout, which was my first mistake. It didn’t take very long, and I walked for a little bit to sit in the park outside. I ordered a grilled corn muffin but they gave me a blueberry. It was still delicious; there was a good butter ratio and it was super fluffy but I wish it had been toasted more. I also ordered a veggie omelet with home fries. The portion was super big; Betsy's really stays true to their "Eat Heavy" motto! I should've asked for more ketchups, because the three packets was definitely not enough to mask how dry and stale the potatoes were. The omelet was also unpleasant and flavorless. Eggs are a pain to cook perfectly, and these came out super thin and dry. I could barely taste any cheese, and there was a lot of liquid coming from the vegetables, which made the texture almost rubbery. I'm sure that my experience would've been better if I had just eaten it fresh in the restaurant instead. No hate to the cooks, I would still come back to eat inside if I had the chance! EDIT: I returned I was right- the dine-in experience was good! It was pretty busy around noontime when I joined a big party of friends. Service was quick, and everything was delicious! I had a giant platter of fruit; the assortment was perfectly ripe and balanced. I also ordered a grilled corn muffin which took a bit longer than the rest of the food. Once it came out, it was literally glistening in the sunlight. I went home, happy, with lots of leftovers. Thanks Betsy’s!

$2 per water is ridiculous!! First, Betsy’s Diner food is really good and we had great service. My only complaint, and the reason for 2 stars, is the $2 water per person charged to us because they only offer bottled water (the waitress didn’t inform us of this before giving us water…the water bottle even has printing on it that you cannot sell water in bottle deposit states). The food was so good and I really wanted to give 5 stars. It makes me sad that I’m only giving two stars, but the margins on water is not respectable. My recommendation is bring your water bottle in so you don’t have this happen to you like my party did. We won’t come back to Betsy’s Diner just because of this issue. Water is a human right. Doing the math, a 24 pack of Poland Spring water costs $4 at Walmart. The margins on water is outrageous and something I will not support.

Imagine getting your breakfast done at a 100+ year old restaurant. I don’t know much about the background of this place, who knows may be Kennedy did breakfast here. The place is under staff. Being said that the waitresses are very busy. Usual wait time in morning breakfast time is about 15 minutes. Food is good. I felt like I got what I paid for. Please generous with tips as servers are high school kids. The vibe is very old school. They still have vintage those music box where you can play songs. Overall nice experience! If you are visiting cape cod and driving around, it is a good place to stop by. I tried their Cape cod special omelet which was good. French toast was horrible though. Overall 5 star.

Short wait for table …. No problem. Waited 10 min to order food…. Ok. Waited 1/2 hr to receive 2 of 3 meals ……?? 15 more min wait til last meal and toast from 1 of the others was finally delivered to the table. No explanation or I’m sorry for wait at any time. FYI. Only left side of restaurant open. Seemed like there was plenty of staff. Immediately requested to go boxes. My daughter and 3 yr old dau. Went to car. I went to pay. Waitress asked person at front to run my card… Stood waiting as help started talking to each other “Excuse me can you run my card”. Got there just before 11:30. Left without 2 of us eating there at 12:45. Last time for us.

We loved the ambiance . Took us back in time listening to oldies but goodies from the jukebox. We were all so fascinated to see one . Those things are so rare, so definitely a nice touch. Ample seating and comfortable space in between tables. Good staff. We enjoyed the smoothies, and the food size was very generous. Excellent French fries. Hot beverages are perfect temperature. Enough parking, it seems, and the place is so vibrant inside. Tasty food for good price!
