Betty's Parkway Restaurant

Betty's Parkway Restaurant stands as Columbia, Tennessee's most beloved steakhouse, proudly holding the title of 'Best Steak in Maury County' for an impressive 16 consecutive years. Founded in 1986 as the original Parkway Inn at the corner of Nashville Highway and Old Bear Creek Pike, this family-owned institution has been serving the community for over three glorious decades, making it the oldest family-owned restaurant in all of Maury County. The legacy began with the remarkable Betty, whose infectious enthusiasm and dedication built a restaurant that captured the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Though Betty passed away in 1989, her legacy lives on through her son Tim Duncan, who has lovingly continued her dream with the same commitment to quality and hospitality that made the restaurant a landmark. Diners flock here for perfectly cooked steaks, with the legendary steak and baked potato being a customer favorite. What truly sets Betty's apart is their famous 'Betty's Best' Secret Marinade Sauce, available in both pint jars and gallon sizes for those who want to recreate the magic at home. The restaurant also offers raw steaks for home cooking, signature T-shirts, and merchandise featuring the iconic Betty's logo. Located at 912 Riverside Drive in Columbia, Tennessee, this unassuming gem delivers an authentic Southern dining experience that keeps patrons returning generation after generation.
