Beards & Bellies BBQ

Great bbqSuper sidesEnjoyed everything they have!New B&B in Wells bar across from Braxton. (Used to be in Wooden Cask) Worth checking out!!

There is ample free parking in the lot on York St with 2 entrances. There are separate ordering stations for the brewery and BBQ. The combined area has open seating with high tops, the bar, tables, and sofas. You can order drinks at the bar, and for food, you order at the counter and receive a buzzer. I headed to Beards & Bellies and ordered the 3-meat platter with sausage, brisket, and ribs, Mac & cheese, and cornbread. All potters are served with fresh onion slivers and house made pickles. I'm not a pickle person, but their house pickles were delicious! They were thin but still crunchy, flavorful, and not wet. Everything that I ordered was pretty good! The Mac and ribs were my least favorite. The mac wasn't baked, but taste wise, it was okay. Small serving size. Ribs weren't super tender, but were flavorful, smoky, and crisp edges.

I had high hopes for this place. The place is cool and is fun for a dinner and drinks. However, I waited in line for 30 minutes before ordering my food at the cash register. My food then came out around 10 minutes after paying. I personally enjoyed my meal, but ordering was deceiving. I asked if the ribs were included in the meal or if it cost extra and the cashier said it was included and then the receipt showed it cost extra. My boyfriend ordered pork belly and it was SO fatty and the portion was really small. There was three pieces and one was completely inedible because it was all fat and he couldn't chew it. Sadly, not coming back.

I love me some BBQ. Found this gem in a brew pub with the help of Yelp. Guys were super friendly, and the food was excellent. The Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite, but the ribs made up for it. The sausage was .... Luscious.... There I said it. Definitely on my "come back here" list.

Stopped here after the Reds game. Was surprised it was not busy but it was a Sunday afternoon game. First time in here. You order at the counter and they give you a beeper. I ordered two sliders, the brisket and the pork belly. I so enjoyed both, if I had to pick a favorite it would be the pork belly. I also ordered the slaw and it was very pickley and I will order again! My hubby ordered the smoked wings, greens, cornbread, and potato salad and he enjoyed his as well. My girlfriend ordered the meat plate with mac and cheese, and potato salad. She didn't care for the dry rub on the ribs but liked everything. She ordered bread pudding to go and said it was not too good.We ordered our drinks from The Wooden Cask Brewing Company in the same space and I will do a review of them also. We will definitely be back after another game.

This is in a great place and has parking. The seating area is huge and feels like a place you would always like to hang in. The food was spot on , especially the corn bread , this was my favorite piece of cornbread I have ever had. The sausage with the mustard was incredible. The service was good , I did double check my bag and was missing something. It happens

First, I love the space. Very spacious and casual, so it is great for everyone. We ordered dinner but I did notice a yummy brunch menu while at the counter, so that is my next thing to try. Our dinner was brisket (which comes chopped and tossed in bbq), potato salad, slaw, cornbread, and pork belly. You order at the counter, grab your own plastic ware and napkins, and have a seat while waiting for your pager to go off. Drinks are not fountain. All single bottled items or you may get a drink at the bar which is to the side and inside the same establishment. You retrieve your trays of food from the same counter once your pager buzzes, along with wet naps, if needed. Our food was beautifully presented on a paper lined silver tray. The potato salad and slaw were perfect portions of not too little and not too much. The potato salad had the perfect blend of mayo to mustard ratio. The slaw was ok. Pork belly has great flavor. Brisket was good texture but the sauce was a bit sweet for my liking. Cornbread had great flavor, though a little dry in the middle. Overall, I would say it is worth a try. We went right before dinner time and we were only the second table of people there, so I'm not certain if that was a factor. Service is excellent and friendly, which is always a plus.

My wife and I visited recently for a couple drinks and a quick bite to eat. She ordered the blackened chicken meatballs and I chose the Beard sandwich. The meatballs came with a delicious white BBQ sauce.I do enjoy a good chicken salad, though not usually what I opt for on the menu. Despite that, the sandwich sounded particularly good. 9 Grain bread with a smoked turkey salad, pickled red onion, sautéed local greens, and a tangy creole mustard. And it didn't disappointed. All the ingredients worked together amazingly.This place has good food, a nice casual atmosphere, and good prices. Definitely worth stopping in!

The food was great. The brisket was moist and flavorful. The wings had the best dry rub I've ever had; not too salty, not too sweet, balanced and warm making it a comforting dish. The broccoli salad was fresh and balanced with the combination of pickled vegetables and Alabama White. The folks working there took great care of us. The next time we're in the area, we will be stopping in

Atmosphere was good, but food was pretty bad. The wings were the only thing worth eating. I wouldn't go back or recommend.
