For fans of hearty steak-and-cheese sandwiches, Brew Belly's offers consistently top-rated cheesesteak subs, combining flavorful beef with melted cheese and fresh toppings for a satisfying experience. Their cheesesteak is an Olney and Brookeville, Maryland "go to" and one great sandwich. This sub is likely better than its local competitors. Yes, it is more expensive than other Olney cheesesteak offerings. However, like Brookeville was once Capital of the United States for 24 hours, Brew Belly transforms Olney into the City of Brotherly (Philly) Love also known as the cheesesteak Meca. Brew Belly's boast that they provide "a vibrant culinary oasis nestled in Olney, MD and that this location is a unique destination effortlessly that combines a lively atmosphere with an impressive array of delicious food and drink offerings". Yes, that is what their website says. And guess what; they deliver 100%. Spawned from the tastiest and most satisfying cheesesteak offerings in Philly, Brew's cheesesteaks allow for a myriad of toppings, traditional and untraditional) including cooper sharp, fresh veggies, spicy peppers, onions, bacon, a ton of sauce options and standard condiments. The bread? Forget about ii!!!! I tried four versions of this sub so far. Take aways; cost: expensive, worth the cost: hell yes, close second in taste: i will be reviewing others in Olney this week, Overall Rating: Yeah Boy!!! FYI - I told yawl that the Mackie's that used to be on route 108 would not make it. It was not a good representation of the Mackie brand., which is impeccable. read more

They have a nice lunch deal for a hot dog, fries, and beer. Elote Hot Dog - 3/5 - I like the toppings, they really worked. Corn relish, spicy mayo, feta, corn nuts. The hot dog itself was overcooked, kind of burned. I think that's how they do it cause both of ours was, and when i asked for a redo it was only a little less overdone. Which is fine but not my style. Fries - 5/5 - fantastic! Handcut. Got a side of the beer cheese which was really good too. I like the vibe... high top long benches, TVs, lots of local beer, and boards games. Would go again to hang out with all that and a basket of beer cheese fries. read more

Great location - parking - great food / beer menu. I will def order the cheesesteak next time instead of the chicken bacon ranch. The flavor wasn't flavoring *sigh* The pickles were yummy :-) read more

Brew Belly - Chicken Bacon Ranch (no bacon) - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Olney, Maryland

I had a great time at this place! I was the first to arrive and there were plenty of open spots in the lot, although it's on the smaller side. I can't help but wonder what it's like at peak times -- though I guess there's technically the big parking lot at the shopping center across the street and what not. As long as they don't tow, right? Anyways, Sunday afternoon doesn't seem like a busy time for them at all. I walked inside and didn't see my buddy, so I just looked around. The first thing you see is a big pile of board and card games on the table. That's all I need right there. And then there's a bar to the right and high and low tables everywhere else. It's self-seating, but you order at the bar. Though I did notice throughout the day as the staff would come to grab empty glasses and plates they would ask if you wanted anything else, so I think it's pretty flexible. As I was grabbing water from the station (nice to have), my buddy arrived and we grabbed a table. We then went up to the bar and I was looking through the menu. They... have way more food than I expected! And here I learned that they don't make their own beer, they sell a lot of local craft. They have a display menu of what's in rotation, sorted by flavor profile. I grabbed a rather electric looking one from Peabody Heights (I need to check out the barcade there) and it was delicious! My buddy and I split wings and those were impressive too. We got lemon pepper and BBQ dry rubs. We just sat and chatted, and it's definitely a great spot for sports with all the big TVs. I'd come back to explore more of the food menu -- they put brussel sprouts on their veggie cheesesteak. Who does that?! read more

Continuing my alphabet series of letter B representing 2021 is B is for Brew Belly. I visited one time on Monday, November 15, 2021 on a date. 4-stars for the business, 1-star for the date; I think 2nd worst date of 2021. It was a 1st date from online. I suspect I know why she was cold right after we walked in until the end of the date, but I didn't care that much and wasn't going to change what I was going to do in order to suck up to maybe get a 2nd date. At Brew Belly, it's a bar area with booths and seats to side. We sat in a booth. All the food/drink orders happen at the bar. I think I got MoCo philly cheesesteak (no onions), and my date got one of the cheesesteaks too. I also got cheese curds as well as a beer to try. Cheesesteak was solid as was the beer. Cheese curds were decent, but I was just in Milwaukee 2.5 months earlier (see my Kelly's Bleachers, Milwaukee for a 5-star cheese curd & also 5-star of Milwaukee Brewers' American Family Field...speaking of Brew Belly...go Brew Crew!). I offered to share some of my cheese curds with my date, but she had no part of it possibly so scared of all those Covid germs I had on my hands, and as I recall, she was a nurse. Date timing was relatively short, and I had time to catch an 8:30 movie Clifford the Big Red Dog on my AMC A-List at AMC Columbia. That date at Brew Belly was awkward like a big red dog in the room. However, staff was nice, and food was good; so I'd return here. read more

I have not had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant a few times. I like their concept. They have up to 20 beers on tap at any given time. As well they have several coolers loaded with different types of local and non-local beers. They also have a full bar and offer a variety of sandwiches and sides. The restaurant also has a number of TVs which makes this place great to watch sporting events. The staff are great. They have the "rundown" on all of the beers they have and offer recommendations based on your preferences. Restaurant is very clean and there is something always nee in the beer cooler to try. With Chilli cheese dogs on the menu, this will definitely become a regular spot for me to visit. If you are in the Olney-Sandy Spring, you definitely want to check this place out. read more

We decided to give this a try based on friends and family stating they love it. The good - Servers were friendly and very helpful. I got the $15 lunch special that came with a beer. I wasn't sure what beer to have so the employee asked some questions and gave me to two taste testers and I made my decision. I also like the ambiance of the place. The average - the food. The cheesesteaks were decent, but some tough meat in them and the fries were good, but a lot of burnt ones. Overall, for half the price, I could have gotten a Jersey Mike's chipoltle cheesesteak and split it with my wife and been much happier. We left saying that it was decent, but not something that we would come back to. read more

The beer selection is AMAZING!!! So if this is what you're looking for, you're in the right place. Food wise, not too many options but they have wonderful wings, fries and the cheesesteaks are pretty decent. Mostly snacky foods but they are always expanding their food options so love that. read more

Went yesterday since we were nearby. Really friendly and nice vibe. Good options for beer on draught and cans and bottles. I thought the food was great too. Way beyond the basics like some places like this. Stuck with Poutine and Cheesesteak! Prices seemed fair too for the location. Will def come back when in the area. Recommend just for the food alone, but if you want a 6 pack of some nice microbrews.. also your spot! read more

Stopped by during St. Patrick's Day weekend for some of their specials and the Cajun Coast food truck. All menus are inside including the one for Cajun Coast food truck. The place is kept clean and all the staff members are friendly. Lots of families and young children are always here on the weekends. The wait for food was short and Irish music was playing as we enjoyed the specials. Everything was delicious. The corned beef and brussel sprout cheesesteak was stuffed with meat; would've liked a bit more of the sprouts as my child really liked them. The Cajun catfish was po boy was well seasoned and flavorful. Both po boy and cheesesteak weren't very heavy. The Irish stout stew poutine was good. The fries were not soggy despite being smothered in beef stew and cheese. There were plenty of beef chunks and soft carrots and onions. The Irish Old Fashioned Cocktail was also delicious: Irish whiskey, green tea, peach nectar, and cardamom bitters. If I had more stomach space, I would've liked to order all the specials. read more

We went for a Monday night Puzzle event. They specialize in a wide variety of craft brews, cheesesteaks, HUGE Soft Pretzels, hot dogs and pub apps. Place is clean, puzzles and games can be found on the shelf as you walk in or bring your own to enjoy. There's a small bar space and communal tables throughout the space as well as outdoor seating space along the front. Staff is very friendly. Parking is tricky, which is a drawback. After 5:30p you can park at the American Security Bank Parking lot, 2 driveway entrances away (so it's a little walk). Orders are taken at the bar, you'll get a table indicator and your food will be brought to you wherever you decide to sit. Everything was served hot and promptly. We ordered a MoCo Chicken Cheesesteak (you can choose your protein from chicken to ribeye to Brussel Sprouts). You can also build a sub with a good variety of choices. I also got the Brussel Sprouts with Feta appetizer. Both were DELICIOUS! Restrooms were clean. No service charges on the tab. They also have Bingo and trivia nights. read more

I love a good cheesesteak. this is not it. I've never had a cubed meat cheesesteak. my wife order a salad with grilled chicken. cubed chicken. and I noticed another patron with a chicken cheesesteak. cubed. at least the fries weren't cubed. the meat in a cheesesteak should be thinly sliced pieces. it makes the meat more tender. this was far from tender. read more

The pub is nice. You can grab canned beers to go or enjoy something on tap inside or outside. It was chilly when we visited so we sat at a table inside. There is a small parking lot. There is space for board games that you can borrow. Kids of all ages can color. You order at the counter and take a number (actually a word) back to your table. Ketchup & mayo, quality napkins and water are available without having to ask anyone. The food is decent without being extraordinary. We didn't feel rushed. The staff members are nice. If you enjoy specialty beers and unique items on tap, this is a decent place to visit. Bonus points for crayons. read more

Overall solid 3 stars. Food is overpriced for what it's worth. Also hit or miss. Got wings twice. One time they were perfect but a little fatty (not my preference) next time they literally threw a whole can of seasoning on it. Couldn't eat it all or else ill get high cholesterol. Parking is always a nightmare on Tuesdays for trivia night. Go park at the bank on Tuesday if no spots left. It's a small lot and inside is even smaller. Some workers are rude some are great. Never had a problem with waiters. Only food ill recommend is the cheese curd. Dont ever get tater tots they taste like sh**. The pretzels are decent read more

Located in the heart of olney! The beers are fresh and from local brews. The cheesesteak we tried was #2 and #3 on their menu. I wish the beef was a bit more tender but bread held up and sauce was good. The service was on point :) Cute find in this area! read more

I visited Brew Belly today since it was my day off. I got the fry basket and the chicken cheesesteak. When I arrived at the location, there wasn't clear signage where to pickup the order that I had placed, but one of the employees behind the bar came over and we said the name on our order and he went on checked on it. The employee let us know that the order should be up shortly, they hadn't dropped the fries yet and didnt want them to be soggy. The food was hot when we got it and it was a quick drive home before enjoying the food. I had never been to Brew Belly before, so it looked a lot larger on the inside than you would think based on what you see driving by. I would highly recommend stopping by Brew Belly if you are in the area and looking for a place to stop for a quick bite. I will definitely be back and trying some of the other items on the menu! read more

R and I went back this past weekend and again we are happy with our experience. We got the Brew Belly Poutine and it is the perfect size to share! The fries weren't too soggy, the gravy is delicious, and there was plenty of cheese between the cheese sauce and curds. I decided to try the Route 108: comes with cheese sauce, fried onions, fries, and bacon. It was HUGE! For my personal tastes, the onions were a little soggy, however, I enjoyed the combo of items. R went with the Wiz-Whit again and just added the yeti sauce. He ate it all. This is a cool place with plenty of beers on tap and cans to go. If you're in the area, give it a try! read more

The $15 lunch special is a great deal. Lovely ambience, amazing beer selection. Will return to try more cheese steak "types"!

The beer is strong! A striking variety, many from local spots. From your darkest stout to your palest ale and the sours in between, you'll find something you like. And if the tap options fail you, pop into the fridge section. Service is good, and staff is happy to answer any questions. It's a very chill environment with large tables, great for board games (but bring your own because they only have the likes of monopoly). The food... it's pub food. Which is fine and totally acceptable. But it doesn't seem like much is made in house and most is from frozen. They were unable to check ingredients for an allergen because the bag the buns came in was unmarked. In this day and age, it's kinda a thing to know your ingredients and allergens. The half order of fries was huge and hot, so happy with those. All in all, we'll be back. read more

Mannnn!!! This place is great. The beer and spirits list is amazing. The service was smooth and very helpful. Well lit and enough space for our entire team and Parents. By the way, when you get there be sure to say hi to Mack (Creator of their sweet chili chicken wings). I would've added more pictures but by the time we got there it had been a long roller derby day and I was getting HANGRY (according to everyone I was with). Cheers! read more

Went for the $15 lunch special. Includes cheesesteak, fries, and non-alcoholic drink. Bread - Ok, not very crusty, or tasty Meat - very dry, not a sliced ribeye like I am used to Fries- have potential, but we're soggy Service- very good I probably won't be coming back, since I could get better with my $15, such as a burger from Olney Station or gyro from Big Fat Greek... Maybe try their wings, but the cheesesteak just ain't right. read more

Amazing choice of local beers, and a great variety of different types. I am not a fan of IPAs and it seems like they dominate at most bars, but I was thrilled to find a nice selection of sours on tap. Also loved the huge beer cave with so many different local beers in both singles and six packs. Went for happy hour. They don't advertise the happy hour prices on the website, but they are written up on a wall. $5 giant pretzel for the win. Also delicious brussels sprouts and they were happy to remove the bacon to make the dish vegetarian. They do trivia on Tuesday nights, so if you're just looking for a calm place to share drinks with friends, then avoid Tuesday evenings. We didn't know that and were a little surprised. Looking forward to coming back on a night other than Tuesday. read more

My friend & I both got the MoCo sub. It was pretty good - they definitely don't skimp on the meat! More cheese would have been good but maybe I should have ordered the cheese wizz? What I didn't love was the bits of grizzle in the steak. Not a fan. They have a great beer selection & lots of local breweries are represented here. There's better sub places out there for steak & cheese subs, but paired w the beer & friendly service this place is not to be missed. read more

Great little place! We had wings, fried pickles and pretzel and all were yummy! It was game night when we stopped by- so cute!

A few of us stopped here on Saturday afternoon. I've heard great things and wanted to check it out myself. Hubs and I ordered cheesteak and fries. I wanted the poutine but wasn't going to be able to handle it all. Luckily our fried ordered some and I tried theirs...YUMMY!! The cheesesteak was pretty good too. We made our own and added toppings we like..including hots! They have a variety of beer on tap as well as in cans to take home. Lots of beer from local breweries, which was cool. I wasn't in a beer mood, so I tried their keg jalapeño margarita...not bad actually! They had a lot of good options, and was a pretty chill spot. I would certainly check them out again. read more

Service is friendly and they support local breweries, which I can easily get behind. Leaving this review in hopes BB sees it and addresses this glaring, unforgivable problem and I can take update it to more stars: The rolls they use for their cheesesteaks are absolute trash. Cardinal sin of a cheesesteak. And their fries were limp and soggy. How dreadfully disappointing. Management: Get crusty bread and use hotter oiler for crying out loud! read more

The staff is amazing! NATE is a seriously hard worker. He is always doing something--dropping off food, busing a table, cleaning up after lazy patrons. Super polite and pleasant. GIVE HIM A RAISE! MATT another hard worker who continues recommending tasty beverages. Very helpful and pleasant. ERIC is another nice polite worker. He also takes the time to provide food and drink recommendations. I've only tried a few food items and failed to take a photo. Can't go wrong with a JUMBO SOFT PRETZEL with mustard and/or cheese to dip it in. The CHEESESTEAKS are also pretty decent. I took a bite of the CAULIFLOWER "WINGS" and that was interesting. I had the BRUSSELS SPROUTS a couple years ago and I remember they were pretty good back then. read more

This ain't a skinny sandwich. If you get the charm city cheese steak you might notice all that horseradish sauce on top, or the layer of fried onions, or maybe that heaping amount of meat and mushrooms underneath those other layers. Remember when you got it: this ain't a skinny sandwich. The flavors from everything goes together and you'll have to devour it then. There won't be leftovers. It'll take about 10 minutes. 10 minutes to focus only on the cheese steak. Be in the moment. It's probably the best cheese steak in MoCo. read more

This place is a true gem. Great food and a great selection of beers on tap and bottles and cans. They are knowledgable and friendly here. I came in for lunch (an amazing $15 special with a cheesesteak, fries and a beer) with my infant daughter in a stroller and they treaty me like royalty - even bringing condiments to my table because "I had more important things to look after." A true neighborhood gem and I look forward to trying every one of their cheesesteaks (and beers...). read more

I saw this place posted in the "support MoCo" Facebook page during COVID 19 and it sparked my interest! A lot of reviews indicated that they have great cheesesteaks, and I also noticed that they had cheese curds on the menu. Considering my husband is from Philly and I am from Minneapolis I knew that the bar would be set high for the cheesesteaks and curds. I will say, the cheese curds were some of the best I've had outside the Midwest! They use actual curds of cheese and the batter wasn't too overpowering. They weren't that poet gooey by the time we got them home but I'm sure they would be even better once we can eat in again! My husband approved of the cheesesteaks. He is of the mindset that the bread is the key part of a good cheesesteak and they did not disappoint! Portions are big and everything we tried was tasty. It's a bit of a drive but I know we will be back! read more

Great place to grab a bite to eat! I saw a sign out front that said "$15 lunch special! Cheesesteak, fries, and craft beer. I instantly stopped and grew even more intrigued as my name is Yeti and they have Bigfoot out front and they have a lot of Maryland flag things. You walk in it's a very relaxed comfy setting and I was spoken to before I could even place both of my feet inside the door. The lunch special involves 9 doffing cheesesteaks or you can do a build your own. Along with those cheesesteaks you have an option of 21 different beers. They also offer different ciders that are uniquely flavored such as the Red Sherman blueberry cobbler cider which is cider made with blueberries, cinnamon, and vanilla. They offer trivia on Tuesdays and bingo on Wednesdays. The customer service is great and Aiden was very friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely bringing the squad here with me next time! read more

Brew Belly - Seoul style chicken cheesesteak with American cheese, fried onions, mushrooms, soy-hoisin sauce, spicy mayo and pickles - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Olney, Maryland

Extremely friendly staff greeted and accommodated my desire to dine here with a small child. He was kind enough to offer to bring foos to outdoor seating area. As for the Steak-n-Cheese, there's a lot of option and topping available. I opted for provolone w/ bacon for my sandwich. The bread was soft and perfect for accommodating my requested toppings. As with other reviews, the salt on the fries are too much leaving a little burning sensation in the mouth. Overall, if you're in the area get it. Make certain to request fresh cooked fries without salt. Disappointingly, it wasn't delicious enough to make me take the Trek. Corner location with excellent outdoor accommodations. read more

About a 2-2.5: We had come to check out Brew Belly, as we had heard about their poutine. Their menu also offers various cheesesteaks, pretzels, sausages, hot dogs, shareables, and bowls. We ordered: +a Wiz-Wit cheesesteak - this came with Velveeta cheddar cheese sauce and fried onions +a Poutine Classique - house-cut fries topped with brown gravy and cheddar cheese curds +Hill Country Sausage - jalapeno-cheddar sausage with fried onions and house mustard The food was okay; the cheesesteak becomes soggy super quick, so make sure you eat that first; there was a generous amount of steak and cheese sauce. The bread itself could have been better, as it was a little dry. The hand-cut fries could have been seasoned, and the gravy was fine; the cheese curds were cold and sponge-like. The sausage wasn't served hot, and we weren't a fan of the taste. Staff was friendly, and there was definitely a huge selection of craft beer and such. Al fresco dining was available, but they do get filled up quick. I liked the fenced area with the picnic tables. Parking is available in their small lot. +friendly staff +parking available in small lot read more
