A couple of newspaper ads for Betty's in the 1950's:
Betty's Restaurant • Christmas Dinner Ad • 1952

Ad for Betty's Lobo Lounge • Miami Daily News • Feb. 4, 1957

The American Legion held their 42nd National Convention in Miami Beach in October, 1960. Their official program had reviews of suggested restaurants and had this to say about Betty's:
"Betty's Restaurant, 1440 Biscayne Boulevard, is
famed for her well planned, medium-priced meals
and the Lobo Lounge is quite the gay spot at
night."
