Came here late in the evening and ordered two cheesesteaks and took them to go. I don't live far away at all but taking that first bite of the cheesesteak that night, felt like I drove 3.5 hours from Philly cus the meat was so dry, tough and chunky. I've actually driven from Philly and eaten my leftover cheesesteak, it doesn't get dry. Before posting this, I left them an email about how unsatisfied I was this time. It's been like 5 days and no one has responded to me. Thanks for making it right guys! read more

Fun place to hang out with friends, play some games while enjoying beverages from local breweries. The staff were very friendly and made our visit all the more enjoyable. read more

Great food, great service, and cool vibe. They specialize in cheesesteaks so when I first went here I thought it'd be just simple bar food but I am always impressed with whatever I get. Sometimes they have specials - GET THEM! Any special they have is awesome. Sometimes they have soups - AWESOME! read more

Fun spot in the heart of Olney that embodies the town's local charm. It's an updated, multi-use space that repurposed the dinky 612/ Priti, but still contains the beer fridges allowing you to purchase local brews for home. The restaurant features an extensive rotating local beer selection, delicious upscale bar menu, and a fun atmosphere for family or catching up with old friends. They have TVs for sports games (especially Caps games during the season!), and board games for hire. The staff is helpful with recommendations and efficient with service. You order at the bar counter, receive a number, and a food runner brings out your meal as soon as it's prepared. I'm always shocked at how quickly the food comes and it tastes great. Beware, it's pretty intimate, so parking and tables are limited. Also I wish they had a smaller fry or side option because I definitely can't finish a whole basket with a cheesesteak, so usually avoid ordering. read more

Ordered on Ubereats. Got a pretzel and a cheese steak. Nothing fancy. The pretzel. HUGE!! But way too oily. The mustard that came with it I wasn't a fan of. I just didn't like the flavor. After I got some regular yellow mustard I liked it better. The cheesesteak. It was STUFFED with meat. Like some was literally falling out. The cheese was ooey and gooey. The bread was a little too soft. And at the end it got a bit messy but I think it is because it was delivery and had time to sit on the way over to my place. So I'm confident it I had it there it would be prefect. I opted for no onions and some lettuce. My order was perfect. Which I totally appreciated. Id say it was as close to a Philly cheesesteak as you can get here. I'll definitely get another read more

I ordered a MoCo cheesesteak ($12) and after 2 bites I decided to throw it in the trash bin. Each bite contained at least 1-2 pieces of bone. I called and shared my concerns about quality. They offered to remake it but I declined. Definitly developed a taste aversion and wont be having a cheese steak ever again. Ewww, gross. Lesson learned. As a side note: The pretzels we ordered were tasty. read more

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I didn't. We ordered the crab dip, classic poutine, opa cheesesteak and Moco cheesesteak along with an orange crush. The crab dip and poutine was too salty although the bread that came with the crab dip was really good. The opa cheesesteak.... Not sure what type of meat they used but there were chunks of fat in there that was not good. My fiance said the orange crush and Moco sub was ok. Can't comment much on it since I didn't try it. All in all I wouldn't recommend the opa cheesesteak, crab dip or poutine. However all that being said customer service was good. read more

Excellent service! We saw the sign for cheesesteaks and were enticed to try this spot out on our road trip back home to the south. We quickly yelped and saw the good reviews. This is a place where you can eat and taste locally brewed beers. The inside is unique in that it looks like a brewery but also has tables to eat. We tried their cheesesteak sandwiches. One beef and the other chicken. They were cooked well and the fries were freshly cut fries, hot, and delicious. I liked the variety of cheesesteaks they offered. The servers were very friendly and welcoming. The restrooms were very clean and had a changing table for babies. In all, I was impressed with this establishment. read more

Well, I finally made it to Brew Belly and my big belly has buy-in. Went with fellow Yelper, Tom S. He's been before. In fact he was first to review - Go Tom! But I digress... Friday night. Got there at 8:45. Place was lively and busy but not crowded. Never a wait to get a beer. They had 24 or so different craft beers on tap. Many of them from local breweries. We tried a nice variety and were very happy with our selections. Shout out to Kevin, who played Jenga with the flight caddies, and Jacob who delivered my misplaced pretzel, but made up for it with a splash of milk stout. The service was friendly and excellent. It comes across that the guys working here love what they do and it makes for a good customer experience. It's worth noting that in addition to the 20+ beers on tap, they have a hundred more cold bottles and cans of all kinds of special brews. Those are available to carry off site or drink there for a corkage fee. Of course they do fill growlers. See my photos to see some of the beers we drank. While there I couldn't resist ordering one of their monster pretzels. I'm glad I did. I got it with crab dip and it was crabtastic! I can't wait to go back and try their cheesesteaks. And maybe some more beer. Welcome to upcounty, Brew Belly, we have been waiting for you! read more

My husband loves their cheeseteak, but I am ALL about that poutine. In fact, I would go so far as to say I am a poutine snob. The first time I ordered from Brew Belly I ordered a cheesesteak (which was incredible) but I also ordered a poutine. I wasn't expecting the poutine to be my dinner, but whoops! (sorry, not sorry). The poutine was PERFECT. The fries were the cooked to right texture - not soggy or floppy. They were still perfect when they arrived in White Oak for us to eat. The gravy was rich and flavorful. It was clearly not some one note dumped from a can gravy. And cheese curds... you know when cheese curds are good when they squeak when you bite into them. This is the closest you are going to get to Montreal poutine without crossing the border. read more

I'm so glad that Brew Belly came to Olney! Of course it came after I move away. The beer selection is fabulous. I got a couple flights with 7 tastings. I ordered the Route 108 cheesesteak that has bacon and fries. The bacon was chopped and well cooked. I liked that because the flavor spreads a lot better and it's easier to eat. I took one bite of this sandwich and I stared at my friend with a pause because my mouth was so happy I woke it up. It was SO GOOD! It was even better than some cheesesteaks I had in Philly! Wow, so delicious. The Boardwalk poutine was lacking in crab. We saw specks of crab, but it wasn't enough to really taste it with all that cheese. I could taste the old bay, and the crab taste was very faint and you had to focus to get it. It's there, just faint. It's open seating and if it gets crowded, you may have to share a table with others. The place was cozy with a couch on one end with a tv, and tables everywhere else. The back wall is all beer fridges of local beers. They do not have enough parking. You can park across GA Ave in the shopping center and cross the street. The parking lot was full, so I parked across the street, but when I walked into the restaurant, it was more empty than I expected. I came during the day on a weekday for lunch. read more

Walking in, there are menus on clip boards on the left and at the bar counter there is a tv displaying the menu. You can order for here or to go. My friend and I ordered for here then took a seat at the bar counter. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday evening! And all the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The entire experience from the food to the people there felt homey and down to earth. Our food was brought to us, and we dug in. The poutine was yummy and satisfying but I wish there were more cheese curds/ smaller pieces to distribute evenly through the fries. The Seoul sub was lightly inspired by Korean food and was an overall juicy, enjoyable cheesesteak. The cucumbers really work on the sub. My friend who absolutely detests cucumbers really enjoyed it with the entire sandwich. the sub would have been even better if it had a stronger Korean influence, but I'm happy the restaurant is exploring fusing different cultures together and I hope they continue to do so! read more

Wen to brew belly because of some friends that live in the area. Walked in and was immediately surprised! This place is unlike most in the area. The seating is self serve. They have table tops and some sit down tables. The table tops are perfect for hanging out and having a brew. They have some games such a as sock and bop em playing cards connect 4 (those are the ones I saw). The food was amazing! I got the philly steak "route 108" and the "blind pig" poutine fries. Both were something different than most places! The gravy on the fries was delicious! The beer let me not get started on the beer. They have a menu of craft beer from the area only! (Like 1 or 2 aren't) it was awesome to see a place embrace the craft beer scene for Maryland. Some chain restaurants in the area try to get local beer but it's next to impossible to find good Maryland beer. They have a fridge full of Maryland craft beers and other craft beers. The best part you can buy from the fridge and have them pour it right in front of you to consume it. The beer on tap they let you try before you buy as well. Overall the atmosphere and food for this place deserve a 5/5. read more

We went two nights in a row... does that say enough ;-) Pros: -Decent prices and great happy hours prices! Half price wine Wednesdays, kick the keg Thursdays (50% off total check) -LOADS of local beer selection and wine (decent price for the glass) -Food was DELICIOUS! Sorry, I didn't take as many pictures of it. I ate it all.. Soft pretzel was HUGE, warm, lightly salted, and came with a slightly spiced horseradish mustard sauce. For extra, a warm, gooey, cheese dip that actually tasted like cheese and not the fake me out stuff -Cheesesteaks are Philly approved by my husband who was born and raised there. Closest to Philly you can find around here. Bread gets a little soggy but he can over look that -Food service did take a while due to the demand of orders. I suggest you order food first. -We brought the kiddos with us! Family friendly with board games and TVs around. Wish they had more lower tables for them as we sat at a bar top or next time leave them at home... LOL -Customer service is on point! So friendly and ready to help customers! The staff look like they are having so much fun! HUGE shout out to the folks who helped us clean our mess. My husband accidentally knocked down a painting on the wall and broke a glass everywhere (no, he wasn't drunk). It felt like a swat team came over to make sure everyone was not injured, clean up, and got us new drinks/food. Thank you so much Brew Belly! -Friend really liked the mystery bag of beer for $20. LOL Cons: -Wish they had a better method of waiting for seating besides watching people eat, and hovering over them for the table -Parking gets really tough during prime evenings; some of our friends had to park in different lots Can't wait to come back! read more

Would recommend- the food is great, they are very welcoming and the environment is casual and comfortable. Great place to hang out

Came with a group of Mom friends last night, 7:45-10 pm. Had no issues finding parking. I think Brew Belly is really on to something with their restaurant concept. Think "fast casual" on steroids. You come in, and can peruse their beer/wine/soda coolers for a purchase to take home, or pay a corkage fee to consume on site. The fee is not a big deal, given how much many other restaurants overcharge for glasses of wine, etc. You can also order various sizes of the beer they have on tap behind counter. I would suggest downloading the app in advance, so you can feel less rushed perusing your options. At this same counter, you can place food orders and they give you a marker for your table. I was shocked at how quickly our food was delivered. As someone who really likes to relax when I am out, but gets anxious/annoyed when service is bad, I enjoyed this setting. They had staff constantly checking to clear glasses/dishes/trash, but if you wanted something you could get it yourself, including lemon infused water for people to self-hydrate, located at a central location. The employees, all very kind, were equally disappointed when I wanted to order a crowler to go, and the keg kicked. :o( they started giving me suggestions of where ELSE I could find that delicious liquid gold, and I told them I was happy to wait a day or two and return when they had restocked. I am so happy to have a moderately priced hang out in town. Perfect for a quick date night or long evening with friends. I cannot wait to bring my husband, he will love it! read more

Cheesesteaks are really good. The pretzel was huge the spot is very busy and a little too small

Great cheesesteaks, wonderful beach fries, and a myriad of beers and mixed drinks to choose from. Might be the best cheesesteaks in the area. The only thing not quite right was the bread in my opinion. It's so close. The yeti sauce is really good and goes great with fries or anything. read more

We stopped in after the Sandy Spring Museum Strawberry Festival. It's a small parking lot, but they have a deal with a neighboring bank, so there is much more parking than you think. Walked in the door and we we were greeted right away. To the right was the bar, and to turn left was a rack of clipboards with the menu on them. Having never been there, we grabbed menus and went to the bar. The young lady at the bar was great, she answered questions and offered samples. After a couple tastes we decided on drinks (they have beer, wine, and mixed drinks) and looked at the menu. That done, we started on the food menu. We have one vegetarian and one meatatarian, so it is often difficult for us to both to be happy with the food selections. Steak sandwich was really good, nice and full, and three one I got had feta and tzatziki. It was cool to see a fresh take on the steak and cheese. Veggie sub was, "Amazing" and had become something we go back for. Fries were very good too, and that stupid huge pretzel.... Really a good place, great food, Maryland craft brews on tap, friendly people. (They do have a full-ish bar and tons of beers for sale to take with you. read more

We love Brew Belly! The poutine is by far the best in the area. The prices for drinks are incredible. We have been several times now and have not been disappointed. We met friends there this past weekend and we both had babies in strollers and they were incredibly accommodating. This time we finally had the giant pretzel I'd been spying our last few visits, the crab gravy was an excellent addition to it. We also had the Brussels sprouts (yum!) and Seoul cheesesteak--I enjoyed this one more than the Whiz wit, the cucumbers were a refreshing addition. read more

We stopped by for lunch and had the steak sandwich and fries. Everything was very good. The service was friendly and fast. The steak sandwich was pretty big and more than enough for a lunch. I especially liked their boardwalk style fries. One of the best boardwalk fries I've had outside of Thrashers. I liked the long table seating style for a casual experience. They were not too busy when we were there so there were plenty of seats. I noticed outdoor tables as well, but we stayed inside. A great place for lunch and we will be back. read more

Great steak and cheese awesome drinks 5 stars when they add some desserts maybe some churros!

Good ambiance. Food is a bit lacking. Ordered a basic Philly Cheesesteak sub and was a bit disappointed. The meat was very oily and tasted like old grease left on the grille which sogged up the bread. The bread was also the wrong kind. More like a French bread soft texture which doesn't hold up with the filling and falls apart. Recommend owners to reconsider replacing offering for a leaner meat and a sturdier bread. read more

Excellent concept for Olney! Especially for the younger community who wants to expand away from drinking/watching sports at the Greene Turtle. Love that the beer is primarily local. The service is great and everyone is super enthusiastic. The space is somewhat awkward, but I can tell they did the best they could given the layout of the building. The parking is also tight and difficult which is frustrating. The food is generally good. The big pretzel with beer cheese is good. Brussel sprouts are pretty good as well. Not a fan, however, of the cheese/meat tray. The meats did not taste good at all and it definitely needed to be washed back with beer for me to stomach that dish. Great place to hangout and casually catch up with friends over a few drinks and maybe even with a board/card game read more

Food was good. I have had poutine in Canada and it was on par with them. Cheesesteaks were good as well. The restaurant was clean and staff was nice. It would be nice to have more draft selections like they have in the fridges. read more

Man... I feel bad giving this place 3 stars. It seems like everybody loves it. Sorry! Came here last night with a group of 6. Seating definitely is a challenge, especially if you're in a bigger group. But, people coming in/people leaving was consistent. I'm not sure if the only parking spot for this place is the small lot right outside... I got lucky and snagged on there. There aren't too many spots, so you may have to park in other shopping lots and walk over. The overall aesthetics of the place is nice. It has a bar feel. It also shows sports games, has board games, and different styles of seating inside. You seat yourself and order at the bar. The staff is super nice. I ordered the soup of the day with the grilled cheese. I love, love, love grilled cheese but this just wasn't good. The soup of the day was french onion, and it had way too many onions in it. And, both items were cold :( I also wanted the cheese on the grilled cheese to be more melted but it was so thick. Not sure if I would come back to try other items but it's a cool hangout spot. read more

Came across Brew Belly after seeing the headline in the Washington Post and had to try it out - apparently so did everyone else. My husband and I went there on a Saturday night and were not prepared for the crowd - so many people! We ended up crashing a group of girls having a night out just so we could have a corner of a table to put our food and drinks on. The cheesesteaks were pretty delicious and worth the crowd. I think it could've used just a bit more cheese. They also had a great beer selection. And they had so much beer in the coolers! For being so busy inside, parking wasn't too bad. The lot is small but we only had to wait a couple minutes before someone left. If you want to try this place out, and want a place to sit - try to come on an off time read more

Steak is so tough and contains to much gristle!! No way ribeye should be this tough! The subs are very dry. Had much better food when first opened!! Same old story with so many restaurants.

Went to Brew Belly on my way home from BWI. Living up in Clarksburg, I don't get many chances to eat here. Ordered the Wiz Wit, some fries, a DIPA crowler, and an Aslin IPA. The cheesesteak was so great. Definitely a lot like Pat's in Philly. Lots of cheese and caramelized onions. The fries were perfect. The DIPA was honestly one of the best beers I have ever had and the Aslin was great too. I will be back. Wish there was another one close by. read more

Good lively place to hang out and grab a drink. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty crowded, most seats taken but we were able find a couple chairs. I tried a beer flight and I'm not a big beer drinker but the bartenders were very friendly! They gave me recommendations and I loved all the beers they recommended. The guava one was my favorite! Also there's other alcohol available. There's wine and whiskey flights. And a crush special. My sister tried the lemon crush which was wayyy to sour. Don't get it. But my grapefruit crush was pretty good. The food menu is mostly poutine and cheesestakes. We didn't get any food so can't speak on that, but we were happy to see they have chicken and vegetarian options for cheesesteaks. We'll have to come back to try the food! read more

OMG! I've been on the hunt for proper cheesesteaks for a decade and I can finally take my hat off at Brew Belly's! My extended family ordered takeout for Memorial Day and it blew our minds. I want to say thank you Brew Belly for making the holidays great especially while our community is still facing the pandemic. I always talked about what makes a great sandwich and its a basic formula between protein / bread ratio and quality ingredients. NAILED IT! Everything you think that a great cheesesteak should have, Brew Belly exceeded our expectations. Their execution and technique of attention to detail is what makes this! I'm happy to see an awesome place like this in my hometown! My family cannot wait to actually sit down and dine. We will continue to order takeout :-) Cheers! read more

Look, I've only had a real Philly cheese steak once, so take that as it is, but these cheesesteaks are great. Meat is seasoned well and whatever toppings I've ordered have always been great. Had their chicken cheesesteak which is more of a chunk chicken which wasn't my favorite, but was still very good. Fried cheese curds are great and the tiger sauce is a nice break up of the fat. Summer I got a shrimp po boy from the trailer outside and it was fantastic. Beer selection speaks for itself. Super amazing local selection. Great mixed bags for a reasonable price. Craft beer isn't cheap generally but they'll have what you want. Also excellent selection on tap any given day for crowlers or just to sit down and chill. Love this place read more

This place has ruined steak and cheeses for the rest of my life. So PERFECT. Lots of steak, tons of gooey provolone, the perfect roll: toasty on the outside but still a little soft on the inside to soak up the grease. Ooooo yeah. Their fries are what I call boardwalk style, super delish, crunchy, piping hot. I look forward to returning when COVID is under control to chill out and try some of their local tap beers. So excited to have this place near our new home! read more
