Living in Phoenix allows me access to some fabulous local restaurants. In fact, I have to admit that I have my favorites and tend not to stray too far from those at times especially if it requires driving long distances. What can I say? I’m a downtown girl at heart. But, sometimes I have the good fortune to visit a good restaurant on the west side of town. A friend of mine suggested a locally owned restaurant, so I thought I’d share some pics for those of you who want to frequent local spots but don’t live near downtown.
We went to betty’s nosh, a spiffy restaurant at 67th Avenue, on the southeast side of the 101. The idea of the nosh is that you can pick and entree if you want or just sort of nosh on a bunch of different things. Everything I saw looked pretty good!
The restaurant has an open floor plan and is decorated with bright colors and a combination of modern and rustic fabrics and furniture to give it a lived-in feel. A great place for celebrating a birthday!
Mushrooms are one of the dishes that betty’s nosh specializes in creating. Their mushroom bar boasts 22 different offerings and they look delicious.
You can go for a veggie only dish, which one of our friends picked. She liked her dish but said she was still hungry afterward. She might have liked what Great-gran ended up with just below…
This yummy Rueben. My mother in law got this too and said it was great! I have to be honest, I was ready to stop taking pics and this point and eat. Heehee.
I have to admit that the salad with chicken, pecans and blue cheese looked amazing.
But, I was pretty happy with my hamburger. It’s sort of a test of a good restaurant in my book.
They passed.
Overall, our experience at betty’s nosh was positive. The servers were friendly and patient with my kids (5 &2!). We had the good fortune of sitting in a beautiful little room surrounded by glass, which was kind of nice. We enjoyed the ambience and the food. The prices were reasonable for the amount and quality of food they served. I understand they also offer morning coffee, lunch and dinner.
I’d recommend betty’s nosh if you’re looking for a local joint of your own on the west side.
