The food was delicious and service was welcoming and friendly. TOP NOTCH quantity of portions and seasoning of the food was on point *chefs kiss* Im not sure what Arnold's(previous reviewer) was stuck in about the food being in containers but for the amount of food they serve most people, including myself, would be needing a to-go box anyways for the food. So the food is already conveniently placed. Eating with plastic-ware wasn't an issue..I know how to eat properly. He mentioned petroleum plastic like 8 times, but I bet he used petroleum gas to drive there in his vehicle. Maybe he was having a bad day but looking back at his reviews for all other restaraunts- he's just sad. Yall(Bellys soul food) keep doing what you're doing!

The Fish was well cooked according to my taste. The sides were quite a hit and was surprised that they put penne pasta in the mac and cheese which I did not think that would been seen once the food came out. Very Nice Selection of meats and sides to choose from most of the time and can't wait to be back when I come and visit the Transportation Museum

Wow! My girlfriend and I went to Belly's today for lunch!! I had the grilled pork chop (tender & juicy)!! She had the baked chicken, again, tender & juicy! We shared okra & potato salad but both had to have cabbage! Yummy! Don't forget they make everything fresh, with new specials daily & have take out too! Check them out, you'll be glad you did!

Welcoming environment, friendly workers, definitely a gem in a small town. Food was delicious, service was immediate, and food was up in a timely manner, and hot off the stove.

I never got the chance to eat at Belly’s when it was in Spencer, and the times we’ve gone by Granit Quarry, we missed them. But today was the day and we’re thankful we finally got to eat some yummy soul food. I got the fried chicken with yams and mac n cheese. My husband had baked chicken, rice and corn on the cob. Everything was delicious, we finished our entire meal! We look forward to trying more of their dishes next!

It's a hole in the wall. That being said, food was awesome! We ordered a few combos and then shared as a table and we're not disappointed. The team was very attentive and super friendly. Don't let the dining room furnishings/atmosphere keep you from their amazing flavorful food! We even met the Queen! Save room for the honeybun cake, you won't regret it!
