Place is delicious wish it would be open now I keep checking to see if you're going to open back to the public. Any idea on maybe in spring or summer on public? Or since it's now closed maybe do an event to sell your items like at longs Park ect. So people like me who don't need carterting can purchase. Your my favorite bbq place. I already lost neato burrito. Don't make me loose this one haha

Belly’s catered my brother’s funeral reception. They were fantastic through the entire process. Tim was incredibly kind and helpful and he made the catering process so easy for me and my sister, which we sorely needed during a painful week. The food was delicious (chicken, brisket, Mac and cheese, baked beans, salad, rolls) and Belly’s took care of all setup and cleanup. They were tremendous and I highly recommend them for your event. Thank you so much to Tim and Belly’s.

Great food. The belly bites rock! Brisket sandwich was tasty. I always buy a pint of sauce to go.

Sorry guys three stars this time. I will return again to try other meals. I ordered the 3 meat sampler with brisket,pulled pork and chicken. This came with 2 sides. I ordered the belly's fries that came with just brisket seasoning on it. This wasn't bad. I also got the bbq beans. Store made I'm not sure. The meats I received were cold and the chicken was a little dry. The corn bread was dry and crumbly. Not sure what kind of smoking they do to the meat. No smoke ring on the brisket. Could have been liquid smoke all I know but I'm not saying it is. I'm not too professional about this stuff but I do know taste. The meal came with yellow rice with some black beans and queso cheese. Listen the meal wasn't the worst but I feel they could have done better. Looks like they have from reviews from years ago. I will return and try other food from the menu and amend my review. Stop by and let us know what you think. Thanks and enjoy.

Food is Amazing! It is like a mix between Mission BBQ and chipotle, but beats both. Will never hesitate to come back for more.

HorribleThe beans looked good and tasted horrible !The mac&cheese tasted spoiled like it had been around for weeks and need cheeseThe bbq sauce had a nasty after taste .The mustard sauce was good .$20 what a tipoff!Will not be going again and will definitely tell everyone how nasty it was !

I really like Belly's BBQ but more times than not they are closed due to staff shortages. It's frustrating to the point where I just don't bother trying anymore.

Being a new arrival in Lancaster county, PA one of first chores being a foodie is to find a decent BBQ house. This Saturday stopped bye with my friend for lunch & take-out. Counter service with a few tables, clean bathrooms & very efficient service. Placed our order which was delivered to the table in 10-15 minutes, hot & sauced!The beef brisket was juicy & fatty, just the way I like it. Garlic sauced smoked large wings were super. The Belly Buds were a pork take on burnt beef brisket ends, wow! Tried the pulled pork, BBQ beans, Cole Slaw & fries as well, all tasty & worth it!So, yes this place hits the spot. They only serve ribs on fridays.

The people are nice, but the food is plain... They claim to be a southern BBQ spot but to be honest, it's not even close to any other BBQ spot in the south... All the food is dry and tastes left over. They don't remove the skins from the ribs which is extremely amateur. The pork has no flavor, the brisket doesent taste like your typical brisket, just tastes like oven cooked roast beef. The wings have a decent smoked flavor, but the sauces lack vigor. What's worse is the Mac and cheese just tastes like starch instead of cheese and the rice and beans with cheese has absolutely no flavor. I did not try their burritos or burrito bowls, but I will not be going back, ever. Very disappointed.

Good choice to stop in for lunch today. Surprising selection of menu items. Got the Southwest a star burrito which includes brisket. Got 2 sauces to try and both were different in flavor but equally good and not to hot to melt your face but a nice even heat. Had the Smokesburg and Peach Habanero sauces today. Will recommend to friends.
Fantastic "fall off the bone" ribs. We all have choices when we order food, whether it be a restaurant chain or locally owned. This place has delicious food and its locally owned, thus keeping your money in the community. Buy local, eat local. Keep up the great work, Belly's !

I have drive past this place for a few years and finally stopped in. The first thing is when you walk in the door the wave of amazing smells hitts your nose and you never want to leave. It was amazing, the food was fresh and delicious. I got a pulled pork sandwich the first time and it was so amazing I came back the next day with a buddy and got the bellys sampler. It didn't disappoint.I got there peach habanero sauce and it was amazing, sweat to start and then fire at the end. I would recommend this to anyone and I will definitely be back.

This place started out a little on the negative side but they made up for it. My daughter wanted bbq chicken so we looked at places and she found Bellies (Belly's or Bellies?) Anyway, at first ordering from the counter girl was somewhat challenging because she was one of those low talkers, you know? I had to keep asking her to repeat herself. I kind of got the vibe that she wasn't thrilled to be there. My daughter (14) ordered Chicken with a side order of bbq sauce, fries and baked beans. I ordered chicken and fries. She ate all hers and said she liked it, I wasn't happy with mine however. It was very very bland. No taste at all. I had just spent over $25 which isn't that unreasonable but I want to at least enjoy my food so I did the dreaded "can I exchange this with something else question?" The counter girl said "ummm, I don't know. I'll ask." She went to the back and returned a few beats later and said "yeah, I don't know." Which wasn't really any kind of help so I asked to speak with the manager. She went back again and the owner/manager came out and was VERY nice. He said I could exchange and I got the chili instead of the chicken, which was pretty good. Much much better than the flavorless chicken. I took pictures of everything. It wasn't the best chili I ever had. Not even close but at least it had some flavor. The dining room was clean and the ambience was pleasant and they were playing good music. They didn't really have anything in way of a healthy menu but Belly's is just not that kind of place. This place was okay. I'm brand new to Lancaster so I'm still checking out the area. I am going to check out other places before coming back here. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't nearly as good as the other reviews I've read. Maybe I came on an off day?

Every time I go here they never disappoint . The smell of their smoker draws me in . There is nothing on the menu that is bad . I always get the brisket and never really change . They sell their own sauces too which from time to time I buy .

When my husband ordered food today I went to pick it up. Once I got home he realized not all the extras we ordered were there ( fries , extra meat ) . Called to see if we could just get refunded we had a long day and really didn’t want to drive back out. The girl who gave me the order apologized which wasn’t necessary because it happens it’s life but it was appreciated. The manager offered to bring us the rest of our food !!!Not many places will do that. It was so much appreciated we took the offer ! Gave him a tip and just appreciate the extra effort to satisfy us. ? 5 STARS!!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
