Betty’s Midwest Kitchen

Are there any burger maniacs out there? Please raise your hands in the air! I have yet again found another burger that is oh so juicy and flavourful that words cannot even begin to describe the experience…one bite and you’ll be in burger heaven.

Betty’s Midwest Kitchen has done the burger justice with the special ‘Jucy Lucy’. This thick burger patty has a melty surprise in the middle. A cube of cheddar is inserted into the patty before grilling and the result is ooey gooey cheese as you bite down. Melty cheese…is there anything that can top that off? Each bite will have you oohing and aahing in pleasure. To make it even better this isn’t a pure beef patty, it’s a mix of beef and pork giving it extra flavour and juiciness. I also detected fresh cilantro chopped in to the patty. Sublime!

Other offerings on the menu tend to be very porkified with specialties such as the pulled pork burger, pork chops, and meatloaf…typical American favourites. The pulled pork burger is messy in a very good way. The pork is tender and not too dry and the BBQ sauce is very tasty. One bite of this and you’re sure to get the stick smoky sweet sauce all over your hands. The pork chops have a variety of toppings to choose from and I got a taste of the one with stewed apples. The sweetness compliments the savoury pork. I haven’t had the chance to try the meatloaf yet so this will give me a chance to go back.

I would suggest starting off your meal with a bacon and sausage soup and the cheese rounds. The soup is smoky and rich with flavour. It whets the appetite upon the first slurp and the little deep fried cheese rounds are mixed in with potato. They’re like tiny tatertots with cheese. Good thing these aren’t available in snack packets because I’d be totally guilty of sitting in front of the TV and eating bag after bag.

Oh and there’s an interesting item on the menu known as dog food. While it looks like dog food it certainly doesn’t taste like it! It’s a bunch of fries topped with gravy and melted cheese. You can just imagine what that looks like…but it’s certainly yummy to indulge in.

I’m sure if you’ve spent any amount of time in the States you’ll be familiar with the popular corndog. A hot dog on a stick that is dipped in a cornmeal batter and deep-fried. If you’re a fan, you’ll be happy to know that Betty’s has this! I didn’t sample it but I saw some people in the restaurant happily tucking into it. It did look nice and crisp on the outside so I’m sure it’s worth a try.

For a great Midwestern treat I highly recommend Betty’s…do take note that sometimes there is a wait to be seated…but that’s just because it’s so damn good!

Pros: A ridiculously good burger!

Cons: There is a wait on weekend nights and they won't seat you unless your whole party is there
