I see a lot of you are not aware of what you are signing up for when you go to BELLY BBQ. BELLY is Texas style BBQ which is a lot different than most traditional California BBQ establishments. Most BBQ restaurants in our area cook meat over the fire at high heat for shorter periods of time and coat the meat with BBQ sauce. Texas style is done slow and low and sauce is typically something that comes on the side. Briskets alone can take anywhere from 12 to 18 hours to smoke and then rest for at least another 8 hours in a warmer. Before any of this is done you have to get the meat and trim it so you can get a good even cook. This also takes hours to do and is done when the closed sign is out. Anyhow, with all of this being said, my point is why are people complaining so much about the hours of this Mans restaurant when this is the standard for ALL of the top Texas style BBQ restaurants in the nation. If you are asking yourself why I am chiming in with my opinion. Because I am very well educated in the field of Texas BBQ and I have been to over 30 of the top 50 BBQ establishments in Texas and almost all of them are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Some are only open on Saturday or Sunday. I don’t have a problem with people giving a place a bad review if the food is bad but giving a bad review because you can’t get your butt to the place when they are open! That is your fault, and you need to either get there and try it or not leave a review. Yes, I do know Marcus from visiting BELLY but I am writing this on my own. People if you do not know what the heck you are talking about make sure you educate yourself before leaving a review. If you are looking for some tri tip or chicken this is not currently the place for you because he does not serve either. If you are looking for some outstanding Brisket, Ribs, Turkey, Pulled pork or Homemade Sausage this is where you want to go! Keep It Fair People! Keep IT Fair!!!!
BTW Tri Tip is not BBQ that is Grilled meat!!! There is a difference lol
Also The Early Bird Gets the Worm! Don't get there late and be mad that you missed out on what you wanted! The line moves fast even if it is out the door.

Only open 7% of total hours of the week. Zero work ethic. Can’t even try the food because of the extreme schedule. Will edit this review upon trying food—schedule permitting.

Fantastic Barbecue! My ratings are below but they know what there doing with the meats that's for sure. I was a bit upset they ran out of greens by Noon, but that's ok the cheesy grits were pretty good as a substitute. If you've heard all the hype its defiantly worth a try!
Brisket 10/10 Pork Ribs 9/10 Pork Belly 8/10 Mac N Cheese 5/10 (seemed like a different recipe and too much rosemary or thyme not just basic mac n cheese) Cheesy Grits 8/10 Blueberry Cornbread 10/10 Phenomenal!!!!! Banana Pudding 10/10

I had the ribs. Cooked perfectly. My only reasons for 3 stars was it was on the salty side, noticeably, and rather cumin forward. Not the smoky sweet as what you’d typically expect. Not my preference, but it could be fantastic for someone else.

The only thing negative about this place is trying to find a parking spot because everybody loves it. But that's not really a negative. I had the feed two to three so I could take it home and I can tell you right now that that brisket is one of the best briskets I've ever had The pork spare ribs were excellent and so was the turkey. Mac and cheese and baked beans were my sides and both of them made the meal complete for me next time I might try the slaw. I wish I would have got more cornbread I only got one piece and so I had to cut it in half but that's nobody's fault but mine. I also got some of the regular barbecue sauce I should have got a little bit of the spicy just to check it out but it was good as well I saw no need to dip it in sauce for me personally It was flavorful and tasty from the beginning to end and I actually had to put it all away so I wouldn't continuously eat it. It was like a barbecue Thanksgiving at my house haha. Pecan pie was good as well this place I hate to say is highly recommended if you haven't you should...💯👌 One thing of note all of the staff wears gloves which I myself appreciate!!

Best Texas BBQ in California Period! Meats and sides are authentic. They know what they are doing.
We had the brisket and it was fork tender, melts in your mouth and with a side of falling off the bone ribs, Deliciousness we will definitely be back

Before I get into how amazing the food is, I would like to mention how personable the owner is, he is very kind and a friend to everyone. He checks on everyone and even busses tables while his team is hard at work serving customers. The food was immaculate, EVERYTHING was so seasoned and tender. My turkey separated once i lightly pulled on it, it was so tender and juicy. The brisket had an amazing crust with the most pungent flavor. The mac and cheese was so seasoned and thick and cheesy. It was everything you could have asked for. I dont live near here but this is definitely going to be dinner multiple times out the month. Thank you!

Hands down the best barbeque this side of the Mississippi! Every last bite was finger licking good.. The turkey was tender and juicy full of flavor. The smoke ring on the brisket was perfection! Fall of the bone ribs, creamy cheesy grits. Not to mention the blueberry cornbread. Slap yo Mama worthy... If you eat here and don't like it? Something is not right with your taste buds..
