We were excited to try this, being new in town. The pictures on line looked great, we were disappointed. We had the fried pickle appetizer, backyard hamburger and the Philly. The pickles were huge spears with little to no coating. The coating that was there, was burned. It almost seemed as if the spears were too big and in order to cook them, they had to fry them too long and in doing so, it fried the batter right off. My hamburger was dry and didn't resemble meat at all. I am guessing it was one of the pre-made, frozen patties. It was almost white looking, with no juice or taste. The Philly was dry. The best part of the meal were the sweet potato wedges that were huge slices of actual sweet potato. The place also seemed very dirty to me...the bathroom was poorly lit, dirty with an “old bar” smell. If I would have gone in there first, I would not have stayed for dinner.

The food is super good and the bar tender was nice. But holy hell they have the grossest bathrooms in the city

Great casual spot in Westcott, not crazy busy on graduation weekend. Burgers, sandwiches, and salads, beer and wine. Salad was a little salty with the bacon but otherwise tasty. Good sauces to go with the pretzel sticks. Looked like there was outside seating in back but we were comfortable inside.

Great food and drinks. Patio is comfortable and spread out, and we had excellent service. Will definitely be back!

Food, staff, and drinks are great. Used to do great trivia nights. One staff member wasn't allowed to be on her phone and considering it was pretty dead, I feel like it wasn't a big deal. It didnt affect my experience. I made sure to tip her extra because she was very attentive.

The beer list here is great. Could use some more taps, but overall really good. Food was mediocre. I had the Philly which was basically a roast beef hoagie. Fries were blah.

The food took forever to come out, the service was very slow and the food was terrible. I ordered a spinach salad and when my salad came there was absolutely no spinach on it and the salad dressing was horrible. There isn't a kids menu, so we ordered a side of Mac and cheese and it's was burned and disgusting. The chicken tenders were overly breaded and there was hardly any chicken on the tenders. It was extremely expensive for the poor quality in food and service.

First time at Beer Belly Deli & Pub. Party of 5. Not crowded (it was a Tuesday). It was a bit chilly in there. Vegan options a plus. Drinks and food were a bit on the expensive side but food was good. everyone enjoyed it.

We order take-out from Beer Belly Deli almost every other week because 1) it's super convenient in the Westcott neighborhood, 2) they have vegetarian friendly food like the impossible burger and eggplant "chicken wings" which are made with rice crispy breading, super delish. Our go to order is the horsey beef with delish horseradish mayo, and the Deli burger with regular meat or impossible meat. You can get any sandwich without the bread on lettuce but they don't have other GF substitutions. In my experience the salads are hit or miss in terms of freshness, but its a pub so I'm not surprised. They're always friendly and the service is fast. I heard they have a nice patio, but we've only ever gotten take-out.

Cool bar, decent rock/alt music with a good range of beers. Staff are friendly and attentive. Didn't try any food but what went past smelt delicious.
Stopped in at about 5:00 on a Tuesday. Pretty thin crowd. My dining partner and I ordered a couple beers and the service was prompt. Pretty adequate craft beer selection- better than most bars. For dinner we both ordered burgers. Came with fried mozz, bbq, ranch, and candied bacon. Ordered it medium came out slightly over done, but just by a hair. The taste wasn't anything exceptional to me, couldn't really taste the candied bacon, there was more on my plate than on the bun. My partner enjoyed her burger though so that's good. Fries were pretty good, thin and crispy. Portion size is certainly small for a burger that costs 15.5. I'm not a big eater and often don't finish my meals but came away not quite sated. Service was good, beer was good. Food was pretty mediocre for me and on the pricey side for what it is and how much you get. I'd go back for a trivia night and beers, but wouldn't go in search of a good/great meal.

My friend and I had lunch here for the second time. The last time during the Fall of 2021 I had the most delicious French fries with cheese melted over them…, omg they were so good:-) Today, I had fries with my unbelievably tasty Phili. Cheeseburger. Not so good fries:-(They were over cooked, painfully thin strips of potato. The friendly waitress said they cut them there. She said the other potato slicer broke and the cook said these are easier and faster. I’m thinking, well maybe the cook thinks they’re easier to cook but I HATE them.

Food and service were great. My only negative remark would be that it was very cold in there. It was a freezing day outside, and due to the nature of the building it was COLD inside. And we weren't even by the door. Wouldn't prevent us from going again....just an FYI to be prepared.

Good food. The only downside was they didn't have everything advertised on menu. Will say that because its not a chain food is made real time so its not quick but worth it.

Well, I must say I was disappointed with my Beer Belly experience. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't great. The beer selection is decent, but the food is nothing to write home about. The fries were almost black, but not because they were burnt (maybe from old oil?) I know many people that like it here, but my overall experience was subpar bar food. Like I said, it wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't choose to spend my money here again, unless it was to grab a beer and no food.
