I really enjoyed J. Betski’s! We got the smoked trout and the Jaegerschnitzels and they were both delicious. I absolutely loved the trout, the skin was so crispy and it was also so tender! The lobster pierogies are also really good. I’m excited to come back here when I’m wanting to treat myself!

J Betski’s is a modern and charming restaurant (with nice outdoor patio) that serves delicious Polish/German food. The dishes are nicely developed and well seasoned. The traditional Polish/German cuisine is upgraded to a new and contemporary way. For example, they serve pierogies with sweet potatoes and I must say they are super delicious. The Pork Schnitzel is the actual pork breaded cotlet was soft, juicy and crunchy; therefore, was prepared to the perfection. Also, I love their root beer.

Went here for my wedding anniversary and had a wonderful dinner. The “order as you go” model was perfect for going at our own pace and taking time to enjoy our food and eachothers company.

I have been a J Beski’s fan for more than 1/3 of my life and was so crushed when they closed their former location. I knew a new concept was coming and was delighted to learn some of my favorite and most missed dishes would be back.

UNBELIEVABLE!! The food? Out of this world! Everything is made fresh, with farm-raised beef, chicken, fish and sausage cased in-house. We had to stop ordering food because we wanted to try it all. And with their new menu, you place your order and it comes out à la carte in record timing! The beers were paired perfectly, the staff were on top of it all… The owner greeted us and is just the nicest gentleman you could meet. I could honestly go on and on. Go here on a date, with friends, for business… just make sure you come and check it out! You won’t be disappointed!!

I’ll preface by saying the food is solid and we were treated fine by all the staff. It’s a nice spot with a decent atmosphere. You order and pay via your phone so make sure you’ve got a charge.

Food and experience were excellent! The ordering system went smoothly. I was somewhat wary of it at first but after experiencing it firsthand, I found it fairly easy to use. Having an “open tab” from the beginning to the end of the meal worked great for the pacing of when you’d like your drinks, appetizers, and main meal to arrive. The various servers did a great job at bringing the food, clean plates, and silverware throughout the meal. I was a big fan of their former location, but this one is just as good if not better. I will definitely be returning! On a side note, the restaurant was easy to get to with plenty of parking either in the parking lot or close side street.

Our favorite restaurant in Raleigh hands down – have been loyal fans for over 10 years. The new space is so open and inviting, and the new small plates still delivers excellent quality dishes. The grab & go has been a nice add, especially for tailgating! John and his staff work so hard to make great food and provide a great experience, and are even better people.
