    Stely Belly - The not so new anymore Food Truck Stely Belly

    New food truck on the scene - Stely Belly opened about a month ago and has joined the parade of…read morewhirring generator-powered food trucks that hang around City Garden at lunch time. I can see Stely Belly becoming a favorite. Their offerings are very healthy - creative takes on a salad wrap - but they also had a pretzel bun burger on the menu that looked delicious. I had the Sun-Belly, which was corn, edamame, peas, grilled zucchini (so good), and lettuce with melted ricotta and provolone, and was super filling but still light. The bonus: my food was ready in less than 3 minutes, which in my experience is unusual for the STL food truck scene.

    I've tried Stely Belly a few times, and each time, I have found the experience disappointing. I…read morerecently paid them a visit with a friend during the lunch hour, and we both were frustrated with the quality of the food and service. I ordered their mushroom and spinach wrap with chicken, and my friend ordered the salad. We also ordered a few sodas. After taking my order and running my card, they did not offer me the option of a receipt, which I actually needed. It would have been so simple to have it emailed from their point-of-service system, but instead they had to craft a handwritten ticket which was non-itemized and therefore completely useless. But, I didn't have time to argue. The salad is advertised as coming with gorgonzola. My friend noted that her salad had a distinct lack of cheese of any kind when she opened the box. When she asked, she was initially told that the salad didn't come with gorgonzola. When my friend politely corrected them, she was asked to dig through the salad to look on the bottom, where a flash of white cheese was found. It was only after we had wandered back to our home base that she realized that this was the ONLY crumble of cheese in the entire salad! My wrap came out second, and the chicken was missing. Their solution, instead of rewrapping chicken in there was to give me a bowl of chicken pieces that had been sitting in a water bath, and were soggy. The wrap was nothing special, and it was simply dripping with juices that made the entire thing a mess to eat. It was edible, and it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't particularly engaging. The final annoyance was that the sodas were completely warm. I got no warning that they weren't chilled before they ran my card, and there was oddly no acknowledgement from the person behind the window that they were warm other than her lingering for a second to notice it, and then shrugging to herself before handing them to me. Warm soda on a hot day is absolutely worthless, and had I known they didn't have cold drinks, I would have held off and bought drinks from a vending machine. All in all, the whole thing just comes off as amateurish compared to the quality of food and service you can get with other trucks on the scene. I can't say you shouldn't give them a try, but try to manage your expectations going into it.

    Went on 1.24.14. I think the wind chill was single digits but it was worth it! I'm not a big fan…read moreof grilled cheese sandwiches so I was pleasantly surprised at ALL the options they had. Reuben, turkey Reuben, chicken parm, buffalo chicken, etc. I had a hard time selecting but went with the turkey Reuben. They put it in a brown paper bag so that was nice to transport back to work. When I first looked at it, it seemed underwhelming. Not too many ingredients. Not too big. But wow when I took the first bite! Still warm even after a drive. The bread was so crispy and not greasy at all! They mix of the turkey, sauerkraut, 1000 island dressing was delicious. I wanted to go return and get another sandwich! Friends got the soup and I'm bummed I forgot to add that. I'm looking forward to when they return. Don't pass up on this treat!

    I asked for something to wow me and they did. The lady beside the counter listed off the best…read moresellers and her favorites. What was nice is you could get the sandwiches as a sandwich OR as a quesadilla. I had the Club with a side of homemade chips. The club had cheddar, havarti, smoked turkey, apple-wood smoked bacon, tomato, and Fresh baby spinach on sourdough. It, along with the chips smelled wonderful on my walk back to my building. The sandwich was a good size. Slightly on the greasy side but after letting it sit on a napkin for a bit it was OK. I could have made two meals out of the sandwich! The flavors of all the different cheeses and meats was a wonderful combination. The chips likewise were a tad greasy. They were OK - not the best homemade I have had but not the worst. I would also say slightly overpriced for what you got. I look forward to their next visit in the area so I can try something new.
