Ms Betty's Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
Ms. Betty's was a late-night discovery when we first visited Houston. Although it may not seem like much from the outside or based on the area it's in, trust me when I say it's worth the trip. The biggest things you need to be aware of are (1) it's cash only (2) about half of their items can be ordered a la carte (3) there isn't much of a dining room (this is strictly a grab and go) (4) and if you come late at night, be prepared to order. This is a no-nonsense, direct experience. It's not a place to feel warm and fuzzy. Their food isn't gourmet by any means, but it's certainly better than most fast food options and also less expensive. I really enjoyed their fish sandwich ($6.50) that was 90% fresh white fish fillet with a thin layer of cornmeal for a slight crunch. You absolutely have to try their chili cheese fries too. For $10 you get a huge portion of fries that are slightly soft but retained their crinkle, tons of gooey cheddar cheese, and perfectly seasoned chili. It's more than enough for two people to enjoy as a main dish. If you're looking for a late night spot or just need a snack, you can't go wrong with Ms. Betty's.
Food is great for a late night snack fish , hamburgers and even the salad they give you momma is what they call her
Fresh food, cooked to order. Open late. Good location. Had the cheeseburger with fries. Drinks are good too, help you get home.... Tummy full
My favorite spot when I stayed in my Hood (Sunnyside) 10-12 years ago. Burger was juicy and good as hell. Fries was even better, but u haven't been back in a while
Customer Service needs improvement. Cash only sucks. Good location just needs to work on nonaggressive interactions.
This is a very hole in the wall, no frills restaurant. It is very old school and you order and take your food to go. Seems like one of the few actual late night places (closes at 3am). The owner, I assume ms betty, has a very get shit done attitude, which I enjoyed. She RUNS the restaurant and will tell you what's up. I'm sure her attitude can be off putting but she chatted with me and gave my partner and I free sodas. Turns out she's an immigrant from Macau and had been in Houston for 35 years, so hats off to her! Foodwise, they have burgers, wings, and various dinner platters all at very affordable prices. I got chili cheese fries and a hamburger and both were excellent. The fries were crisp with nacho cheese sauce and chili on top and the burger was very large and tasty. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to when I have cravings in the middle of the night!
Looks like a small corner store but the food was really good. One of the best burger && fries I've ever had && the prices are really good... the service however was not up to par.... The guy taking orders was nice && friendly but the woman/owner had a very rude personality.... It was 8 of us but half declined to order because of the owners bad attitude.
Food is fresh and hot! Ms. Betty's is the truth! I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and it was bangin!
