Nothing will ever kill Beth's, despite the fact that the menu (full of 12-egg omelets, huge plates of hash browns and pancakes the size of placemats) seems, in certain places, custom-made to kill you.

A Seattle Institution, I can't vouch for it during daylight hours, but at 3am it's the perfect place to cap off a night of heavy drinking.
