    Betty’s for my husbands birthday was a blast. Walked to the Famers Market afterwards (Sunday) which was a double bonus. Thx for a fun day!

    Betty’s is a treat. When we are in SD we try to eat here. Although we always overeat! Tasty not too much heat (u can always up the heat — I do but my wife doesn’t — so great balance). And great value. The make it yourself guacamole is great fun. Give it a try.
