Reviews of Betty's Country Cooking- Columbia, Ky (Restaurant)

Sue Arnett

Home cooked food . Reasonable prices. Good selection on the buffet and can order off the Menu . The Turkey is really Turkey, and not pressed meat like other restaurants. Good service .

Nick Risti

Traditional way of home made fast food and buffet. Frequented by locals for fast bite to eat. No local specialty though. Place itself nothing to write about. Staff plentiful but confused.

Dana Blankinship

Great place to eat and friendly people.

Monica Snow

I loved it here. The food was good and everything in between, however i was only eating breakfast. So i can't say much about the rest of the food. I did have good services and good meal!!

Tiny is a great waitress. We have been there several times. The kitchen can be slowly with getting orders out at the same time.

Food was very good and real mashed potatoes for a change. But did not have fried cornbread disappointment for a country restaurant.

Crystal Jacobs

First restaurant our realtor took us to as introduction to the area! His favorite eats! We see why!!!

Mary parker

The food was cold,the waitress was super nice and friendly. The downfall was the food being cold,I could see if the place was crowded but there was only 3 other tables being occupied during my visit

Jeralyn Kessler

This restaurant has some of the best country food, friendly people, and atmosphere that you will find! And you HAVE to try the homemade pies! Delicious!!!

Sam Morehead

The food was excellent, best corn nuggets I've had since Southern Red's, but I must admit that the service at times was below par. In the end, though, we got our food, got to meet Mrs. Betty herself (very pleasant lady), and had a right good time.

Sam Marino

Good cheap home cooking food and staff is very friendly

john c

Super nice wait staff, great tasting food and the prices are great ! ! ! Highly recommended !

Laura Bearden

Great food and friendly staff.

Ted Pfanner

Home cooking finest. Steam tables perfect

Larry Weichert

Limit buffet would be fine if they had anything of value on it. Three small pieces of fish with a funny taste. Had to wait for mashed potatoes. No rolls. Cold Mac and cheese. Only reason I gave it two stars was because the pies looked good. But, I didn’t try them.

Dave David

I've been there at least 40 times and the food is constantly great.

Amy Shepperson

Best BLT ever!!

Jennifer Whitbeck

By far one of the places around! Eat here often, a sure thing you will NOT GO HONE HUNGRY !

Toni Turner

Service was very slow, apparently the watress normally doesn't way on tables (she said) so no refill on coffee, and food was good , only if I could have gotten what I order and not finally received my missing food items as I finished the rest of my meal. Of course we had to pay the total bill, but didn't receive all of our food until we were standing up to go to front counter to pay.. not a good experience at all. Worst visit ever.. won't be returning to this restaurant again...

Burt Hurley

Can always get a great meal

Loretta Proctor

Nice place for family to buffet to

Kim Doades

Jerry Maupin

Excellent food both breakfast and supper! Recommend to try it out! I'm a picky restaurant eater and was very pleased!

Kelly Schork

Very good food, fast and friendly service, affordable and practical. Atmosphere is down home outdated country like but that is part of what makes this place so neat! Wait staff is very helpful and leaves you with that southern hospitality feel. Food is always delicious i recommend their pork chops, cornbread salad, green beans, and fried potatoes. Coffee is served all day!

Kimber Mccoy

Food was definitely better than it was five years ago. Much better!

BRITTANY CASSAR

Food and service was amazing!! All of the servers were very sweet and everyone acted like family with each other. You could definitely tell we (my fiancé and I) were the out of towners but we were still made to feel like we were at home. If you’re looking for a true small town southern restaurant feel then this is your place! And the food will certainly not disappoint!

Lori Love

Another reminder of why I love the south so much. Great southern food and hospitality! You can't beat it!

Michael Couch

Good stuff here! Meat and two 5.99 before 4pm. Meat and unlimited veggies 8.99. Buffet? All you can eat is 15.99. 8.99 is the way to go in my opinion. The first two only allow one trip so that's the difference here. Betty's reminds me of a …

RoddoRexx

Great meal. Very fresh buffet. I can't make that statement very often. I was impressed.

Guy Shepperd

Always good comfort food

Tom Jones

I had the buffet...chose country ham and vegetables. Food was tasty but restaurant was chilly. Waitress was nice. The others in my party didn't find it as good as it had been in the past...only my 3rd time to have eaten at this establishment...probably would return.

Elizabeth Tracy

When you need comfort food and plenty of it, make the trip to Betty's!!! All country cooking, nothing else!! Eat all you want and then.....sand pie! You gotta go!!!

Linda Brown

It was very good and friendly

Olivia Futrell

Crispy chicken like no other. Thick, crispy breading over rich, juicy meat. Simply wonderful. Cheesy creamy broccoli casserole. Plump, juicy pinto beans - get them with the sweet red relish. A tall glass of sweet tea washes it all down just right.

Ricky Franklin

Great place to eat if you like country cooking!!

Donita Hayes

Great home style cooking with wonderful wait staff. Breakfast any time and the buffet is incredible!! We had 8 people in our group and all of us left satisfied and happy. I know we will be back again.

LYDIA SIMPSON

Wonderful HOT breakfast for late eaters, and good prices. Waitress was working hard and very sweet. All day breakfast or lunch buffet , great country foods and desserts

Travis Bright

Be careful what you get off the buffet, waitress took her ink pen, lifted my pork chop off of my mashed potatoes and counted to make sure I only got one piece. It's not a buffet, it's a grab your own food joint. Food is really good though.

Phil Hanna

Betty's OK Country Cooking is a great place for country cooking. They have a one pass food bar at a good price, $7.99 last I checked, with great catfish, several other meat options and a variety of vegetables. About 20 years ago I read a …

Greg Garrett

Good family restaurant

Gary Logsdon

Food was good service was awful, had to ask for a glass of water

Ryan Medley

It was good home cooking but way to expensive for lunch!

sheila wood

We at at Betty ' s on March 1 and much to our suprise it was great. Wonderful service food was good. They have a new type of buffet and the lady explained it to us. Our last visit was not good. So if you haven't been in awhile try again you will be very happy with your choice.

Joyce

Great food, great service! We love going to Betty's!

Pamela Reba Colvin

My husband wasn't too happy with his fish. He said it tasted like it had been cooked a long time. Not worth what we paid for it.

Christy Poland

Great buffet

Stacy D

Service was great, food good

Thomas Adams

Real good buffer

Travis Davis

Family friendly restaurant with nice relaxed atmosphere it's a nice little diner.

Erin H

Stopped in for breakfast. The staff is super friendly and the food totally hit the spot. If I’m ever in town again I will certainly stop for lunch next time because the hot bar looked really awesome.

Michelle Albertson

I had heard great thingsbut they have changed hands. The price of the buffet is high considering .you are only allowed one trip, and one choice on the meats service was excellent

Jacob's Games and Toys!

Decent food you can actually eat

Steve Mahoney

Great Service, Great Food! Very Pleased With Value.

Joey Biondi

Was in town for 4 days and ate lunch there everyday. Each time the food and service was great!

James Bougher

The food is decent.

Rebecca Wilson

Food was good and staff was very pleasant

Tom W

Overpriced. We had coffee, coke, breakfast 2 scrambled eggs add onion cheese and meat of bologna and one buffet and the bill was $38! Gotta find a new place to eat

Armando Arrastia

We stopped by on our way through town because of the reviews. Contrary to a few of the reviews, the staff was very pleasant, helpful and courteous. The food was very good and reasonable. The food bar allows you one (generous) serving of meat and unlimited veggies. The catfish was very good, cole slaw was nearly as tasty as my wife’s (hers is still the best), and the hush puppies were crispy and tasty. Why four stars? Five stars means perfection. Betty’s was very close... Make it 4.5 stars!

Don Birkenfeld

Good breakfast! Little bit of a wait but it was croweded. Waitress lil bit was great!

Tasha Tucker

Always yummy. Stop every time on our way to Dale Hollow!

Diana Alsager

Food was excellent. Staff very friendly with great service

Jim Stewart

Good food and friendly service

Terry Daniels

The buffet style option is quite a tasty bargain.

jeremy houk

The food used to be good but it was terrible, won't be back again

Tamara Bough

Overpriced. Hot bar only allows you to get 1 meat. If you get more than the allotted serving of meat it costs extra. (3 pieces of fish is allowed an extra piece is $2.49 each) only 3 options on kids menu with 1 being a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Philly cheese steak was held way decent.

Lauren McGough

The lady who served my family was really nice, polite, and helpful. The food was great, and the other customers were also friendly. In all a great experience!

Robert McCool

Good - and plentiful! - Southern comfort food at very fair prices. The only thing that kept me from giving five stars is that they don't accept credit cards and that information isn't clearly posted.

Lisa McNally

Found this place on the side of the road as I was traveling to Columbia, Ky. The place itself was a little rundown, but the food and service was amazing. We had a really friendly waitress who explained the "hot bar" vs. "all you can eat" options. All the food was great, like my granny used to make. The macaroni and cheese was my favorite.

Thomas Covey

Great food, very nice people.

Terry Johnson

On set up of Buffet, can only get certain amounts of Meats but you can get extra vegetables. Otherwise you'll be charged extra for each piece of meat.

Rhonda Craig

While visiting in Columbia, this place was highly recommended and after eating lunch there today, I cam certainly see why! Gokd home cooked food, clean environment and friendly staff!

Constance Falucskai Ford

Best biscuits and gravy ever! The be careful there a few crabby Wait Staff.

Rhonda Savoy

Excellent food and service

Amanda Geary

Great service & good food!

Steven McCullough

Good homestyle breakfast, friendly staff, comfortable setting.

James Hammond

One trip one meat dont seem right. Why not all u can eat at one price and 4.00 for an extra meat is way over board.i would eat there more if this policy was changed alot more.

Daniel Thacker

Came to eat based on reviews but after waiting for 10 minutes for a server and no drinks or anything we left and went to Wendy's

stacy mefford

Ran card 3 times, cashier was 12 at the oldest. Food sub par and a 4% feel for using a card to pay

Matthew Turner

I do not know if this is the norm, but there were very poor selections (buffet) and everything seems to be vastly overpriced. I left without eating.

Robyn Rakestraw

Awesome food....great service!

Robert Doty

Good food

Lindsey Blair

Very quaint restaurant, nice people, my husband and I ordered the fried pickles, they were very good and came out in a reasonable time frame, we also ordered bacon cheese burger and chicken sandwich. It’s very filling and tastes wonderful! They did forget one of my side dishes, but they did take it off the ticket! It’s overall a great place to eat!

Julie worster

This is the worst place you could eat. Nothing about it is good. The service is awful. Not caring complaining they were the only one on..we saw past that. Then our meals came out...absolutely awful! Imitation mashed potatoes, fake gravy, and left over roast. The Texas toast was nothing more than white bread that was toasted from Walmart or worse. We paid and left...also they do not take any cards as payment so we had to pay almost 3 dollars to use their ATM. Honestly I would not recommend this this place to my worst enemy. Just gross... Unless you like eating out of a sewer....

Cheryl Shimfessel

Wonderful place for home style food.

Jeff Stilgenbauer

Homey place. Our food was pretty good and service was pleasant, though a bit slow. Onion rings were tasty and the double BLT was huge and really good. Four adults under 40 bucks and we even got two appetizers.

Jonathan Holley

The only thing that would make this place better is an all you can eat buffet as the buffet is limited.

JoEllen Temple

I love their cheeseburgers. I love the servers. I love the "homey" ambience.

Jennifer Hudson

Great food and service

Bob MacSwitt

Damned amusing. Food, decor and service are exemplary in the field.

Sherry Bannourah

Awesome place, food and Service was great. Priced low for what you get. Would stop again.

A M

Awesome place. We are from Southern Indiana and ended up here while passing through on a spontaneous roadtrip. Staff was friendly. Food was awesome. Prices were amazing. This is definitely a place we would visit again when in the area.

Johnathan Craven

Food was good country cooking. The setup/concept is a bit odd (one-trip buffet). Recommend the fried fish!
