Usually, when I review a vegetarian or vegan restaurant, the food may be pretty good overall, but it often feels like it’s missing a little soul. Thankfully, Betty’s, 3604 N. May Ave., Ste. E, has plenty to spare!
They are a plant-based to-go restaurant serving up “delicious comfort food just like Grandma” and, after trying them last week, I can honestly say they are dripping in pure, unadulterated, plant-based soul.
It’s a joint in the northwest part of town, a few doors down from the Blockbuster Video I worked at in the early 2000s, in Brookside Plaza. There had been rumblings about Betty’s food, with people saying their vegan burgers and burritos were good, but apparently their take on soul food is next level.
I decided to try all three.
Arriving at Betty’s for lunch last week, from the take-out window I easily noticed that business was very brisk. I briefly glanced at the large menu on the wall next to the window, but I already knew what I wanted and, after checking out the specials on a smaller menu, ordering was pretty easy.
