Classic Seattle Diner Beth's Cafe Closes Indefinitely, But Hopes to Return

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Longtime Seattle favorite Beth’s Cafe is shutting down, at least for now. In a Facebook message posted October 12, the restaurant announced that it could not operate at the 50 percent capacity mandated by phase two in the state’s COVID reopening plan, and expressed the hope that it can reopen whenever full seating is allowed. For decades, Beth’s built a reputation as a reliable 24-hour greasy spoon, serving up classic comfort food, such as burgers, pancakes, and sandwiches, as well as a massive 12-egg omelette that has garnered attention from TV shows like the Travel Channel’s Man vs. Food. But its future was uncertain, even before the pandemic. In April, owner Chris Dalton died after a long battle with cancer, months after he put the Green Lake place up for sale. From all accounts, the current owners of Beth’s Cafe appear to have no intentions of closing for good, though. “We look forward to a speedy recovery, and who knows, we may be open sooner than you think,” the new Facebook message said.

1. That's a shame

Though I have never eaten there. I thought I knew every greasy spoon in that city.

2. Oh, no!

First the Doghouse, then the Twin Teepees and the Jolly Roger, not to forget Andy's Diner on Capital Hill. Seattle is disappearing too quickly.
