J Betski's

I do not like to give low ratings to local restaurants. Most of the time I won't rate if I didn't like a local business but I felt I had to for this one. I chose J Betski's because I really enjoy German food and they have so many 5 star reviews I thought it had to be good. I have no idea why people are giving J Betski's good reviews, I wish I had listened to the reviewer that said his friend likes to come here so he goes with him but he personally does not recommend the food here. Let me start with the bread and butter since that was the first thing we ate here. The bread was fine, but not great. The salted butter had to be more than half salt, I love salt so that's really saying something. I couldn't swallow the bite of bread with the butter because it was inedible. My husband also remarked that it was mostly salt. So we assumed that it had to be an accident. Now for my entree, I got schnitzel and german potato salad. This is my go to order at all German restaurants. The schnitzel was not good, my husband also did not like it. The accompanying potato salad was utterly horrible, the worst I have ever had! I also told my husband to taste it, again he said it was not good. My husband got the filet medallions, they were also not good. They had a horrible flavor that ruined the meat. The peirogie that came with his meal was decent. I ate half of it since my food was not good and I was hungry. I got a side order of their sausage since I saw someone mention in a review that they are amazing. It wasn't bad but it also was not great. I was surprised because I can buy better at the store. That was a disappointment. I boxed up the leftovers and brought them to my mother since she is German and let her try it. She spit out the potato salad and asked me what was wrong with this food. She tried the schnitzel and the beef medallions and said the flavor in the beef medallions tastes like chemicals. So this is now 3 people who agree that this food was horrible. I didn't even feed the leftovers to my dog because the food was so awful here, it went straight in the trash. This meal for two was over $60 so definitely not cheap and it was unacceptable that it was this bad. I recommend going anywhere else. Heck, even a chain restaurant would be better than J Betski's and I am not a fan of chain restaurants! Ruined date night with the waste of money and still being hungry. I will say that the food looked good, and had a nice presentation. We ate outside and it was pretty out there and nothing was wrong with the service we received.
