★★★★☆ 4.0 Karo Karapetyan · Sep 2025

The food and the location were great. The only thing I didn’t like was the server’s attentiveness. I’m not someone who needs constant attention while eating, but she wouldn’t come to our table for long periods of time, and we would run out of water or condiments and sometimes had to go inside to ask for them. We were seated outside, and she was almost always inside.

This place was a great place to stop in for a quick bite before a concert or while shopping. The service was great and the food came quickly and was tasty. The blackened shrimp salad was really good. Price was good for what you get. Kind of cool when you go to use the bathroom here you can hear sound testing going on at the Belly Up since they are connected.

★★★★★ 5.0 Hayves Streeter · Feb 2026

Stopped in before a comedy show next door at The Belly Up to grab a bite. Wasn’t expecting much other than early entry into the venue which was a perk to eating here….my wife and I were VERY happy we made that decision. The food was delicious and the service was great. I highly recommend you visit this place before a comedy show, or just in the area. The spaghetti was delicious and my wife got the filet which was very good too. Since I’m not a drinker, I had the coconut non-alcohol drink which was VERY good. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! We are riding the motorcycles up there today again for a bite to eat.

What an absolute pleasure discovering this place. The server Joseph is amazing, I went with my family whom none of us had been there before, And each of us, including my 7 year old nephew- All were thoroughly surprised with how fantastic our food was. I told Joseph none of us had ever been there before, and asked him what he recommended. He said "The herb crusted salmon dish we have has been our best seller for over 15 years." I can't remember if he said "15 years" or "25 years" but either way I was instantly sold on that. My sister ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and my nephew ordered the chicken fingers off the kids menu. Now look, I reeeaaally love great food. Good food is awesome, but great food? Is such a genuine pleasure. I also love salmon too so, I can be quite particular on salmon

I was pleasantly surprised by the food quality here! We only had the seared achiote ahi (which I personally didn't like that much) and the lobster tacos, which were very yummy. Honestly, I'd be happy without the tacos, as the beans, Spanish rice and tomato x lobster stew were outstanding by themselves. Would come back, especially before a nice event at the belly up next door! 🪩
