The building itself is very cool. There are floor to ceiling windows that allow you to watch the runways. Our sever was very nice and cheerful. The food was good flavorwise, but the menu was lacking variety. The burrito we got was extremely greasy and the hashbrowns were absolutely soaked in butter and they were difficult to eat due to the intensity of the butter. The chicken and waffles were perfect.8 It would have been a 5 star if they were more dissaplined in the kitchen. More fat does not make everything better. All around we enjoyed it.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We are “newer” to Janesville and had never been to Bessie’s until today! Jan. 1 is my birthday and we have found it hard to find places that are open. We were thrilled to see that Bessie’s was open on New Years Day! The restaurant was booming, which is always great to see. Our server Susy V. was attentive, friendly, and she went the extra mile to make my birthday feel special. The manager even allowed me to add an item to my omlet that wasn’t even an option. Overall we were thrilled by the hospitality. The food was delicious, the Bloody Mary flight was fun, and we saw a total of 11 planes! 10/10 experience. We will be back!

Lots of room, seated very fast. Fast courier menu. Food was very good, most portions we saw looked more than fair but a few things. Had a breakfast burrito with chorizo and was really good but small for and very expensive for what it was and no sides of any kind, seemed as everything else did. I've many of these kind of burritos, by far the smallest and most expressive. Their breakfast plates though looked amazing and huge for the price. We will go again for looked like there double steak beef and cheese with egg and bacon and pile of fries on side looked amazing and HUGE, and cheaper than the burrito I would have left a little hungry still if not for eating half my wife's fries lol
