This place could be excellent but they fail in the small details. First off the staff is not very friendly and we had a bad waitress, very impatient. The food is good but it is hard to lay out good money for an attitude when there is three more great places to eat in Belmont . read more

The service was exemplary and the food was outstanding. The sugar snap peas and deviled egg appetizers were wonderful. Entrees were delicious and the deserts topped off a wonderful meal. read more

Great food! Love their boom boom shrimp and bottomless mimosas on Saturday's! Love the atmosphere also!

Highly recommend their wine shop, as well as butcher counter. Bought a ribeye the other day to grill at home. Definitely worth it.

Amazing food, amazing wine selection, amazing beer selection. Ate there last night outside, marvelous evening.

The outdoor seating sets a cute ambiance. However, our entire experience was subpar. There is a gigantic beer list that takes hours to read but half of our choices were not available. The waitress was rude and unable to communicate without enormous amount if sass. Our experience was terrible. read more

Fun and cute restaurant with very friendly and attentive wait staff. Order came pretty fast, food was good. Loved the meat case and wine for purchase area. The only thing that would make it better is a full bar service. I don't care for beer and I'm not a big wine drinker. read more

Great great place. Great beer menu maybe 20 craft beers on tap, 10 in bottles. Great selection. Wife had crab cake salad- really good crab cake on top of fresh greens, etc. I had the red raider sandwich- pork BBQ with onion rings and sauce with super great fries. Sit outside if you can. Wonderful lunch venue. We will be back. read more

I went with two coworkers for lunch. I had a reuben with duck fat fries. The reuben was fine although the sauce was on the side which was different. The duck fat fries were soggy and tasted like any other fries. This was disappointing because I had heard how good they were. One of my coworkers gor the fried eggplant which was amazing. If I am in Belmont again I will go again but will not drive from Charlotte just to get here. read more

My fiancé and I LOVE the string bean. Everyone we've taken to eat there has always loved it. The food is very flavorful and the service is quick. I wish I could remember the names of some of our servers (they were all amazing)! Definitely my go to restaurant in Belmont! read more

They underestimated the wait time and then made the excuses which were lame. The food was adequate, not outstanding. The atmosphere is loud and the service was ok. Overall I would go somewhere else next time. read more

Food is overpriced and terrible service. We have called ahead several times and are always having to wait 45 minutes when we arrive. Make a sandwich at home - it will cost less and save you the frustration. read more

Found this place looking on Yelp. Very pleased. Has a large beer and wine menu and food and service were fantastic. Remarked to my wife that I wished I has as much energy as our waitress. read more

Great food and Amazing "dish of the day" options, but what got me the most is the incredible extensive beer and options they have. Definitely a great place to eat! read more

I went here last night for a birthday dinner with a group of 12 people. Be prepared to be PATIENT. The food was amazing. The service was not. First, we ordered apps. A friend of mine ordered bison quesadillas and we were told they were out of bison. So she ordered the Boom Boom Shrimp instead. After a while, apps come out and she's given the Bison quesadilla. Great! But then the shrimp comes, and she asks if she will be charged for both and they said yes and said we didn't have to take the shrimp- it was awkward. Anyway, she decided to take both and they were both delicious. As were the duck fat fries! Amazing! Finally it comes time to order entrees. About 20min after ordering, we were told they were out of the Chicken & Dumpling Gnocchi which 2 people had ordered. Disappointing. They ordered other things that they weren't as excited about. I myself got the Shrimp & Grits and they were cheesy and delicious. The sole reason for the 3 stars is the service. We had to wait forever on drinks throughout the night, the availability of the food was shaky and not communicated well. But again, the food was incredible. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant out and was sadly disappointed. Waffles were rubbery. Not sure if I'll come back. Service wasn't great either read more

This is an example of what every town in America needs for a restaurant. This casual restaurant located in downtown Belmont has traditional dishes and traditional dishes with some local flare. The menu changes depending on the freshest ingredients available locally. And when the weather is good, you can sit outside under the stars with live local music to add the perfect accompaniment to a great evening. Go there and don't be surprised if the Governor is eating at the table next to you! read more

Good creative southern dishes. I really enjoyed the Southern Reuben with sweet potato fries.

This place is amazing!! I had edamame, fried green tomatoes, Italian sandwich with the pasta salad for side ( it was all incredible). Great outside seating patio and atmosphere. Will be back here again for sure. read more

We're consistently disappointed salad very weak. Service marginal. Staff has attitude they lack hospitality. Great beer n wine selection. Inside seating needs a re-fresh. Friends from Charlotte who insisted we go we're disappointed. read more

Food was great last night. The Pesto Filet pie was delicious. Great wine selection. Service was awesome!

Great place, lots of variety. Food is awesome, staff is very friendly. When it's cold/rainy seating is limited to inside which is nice but can make it a decent wait if a busy night. read more

What a great place, a market with beautiful fish, meat, huge wine and beer selection. Grabbed takeout- go for the duck fries! The fried green tomato on the BLT was a great edition. Great atmosphere. Would definitely try again. read more

The food is very good, but a bit pricey. However, their beer and wine selection is superb!

I'll definitely be back. Staying in area overnight to catch the first morning flight out at CLT. Super friendly people. Very accommodating. Food diversified and tastes great. Nice to be stuck over night and not have to eat at a chain restaurant. Great list of micro brews and diversified wine. No grocery store wine. YEA! Great prices. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lamb chops as an appetizer. Gotta love that. Served with southern pickled(?), spicy collard greens. Salmon was good. I'll be back for a rib eye steak next, carved right off the side of beef. REALLY? Doesn't get any fresher than that in a restaurant. If you're local, they have butcher, deli, wine and beer shop all in one. Can they open one of these in Corona (like the beer), CA? read more

Love the place, worth a trip if you haven't been. I would rate them a 4.5 out of 5, but it doesn't let me do half stars. Let me say that this is our go to place for Saturday brunch. We usually get an egg/protein dish (choose your own topping omelets have replaced the omelet bar) and The Curious George to split for "dessert". Who doesn't love French toasted slices of banana nut bread with vanilla rum syrup, warm bananas and pecans? I mean...it's decadent, but too much for one person to eat. The ambiance is right on--with a funky marketplace vibe. The only negatives were that once we had to wait over 25 minutes because they'd just opened and "someone didn't buy any bananas" (which our server didn't mention when we ordered) and that on occasion the portions seem underscaled for the plates. The choose your own eggs benedicts come as is. No sides, no garnish. Just a couple of muffins with eggs, meat and sauce. Same with the omelet. Just sits there on the plate. Tasty, but not a visual feast. For such a fun, hip place it could do with an orange slice on a piece of lettuce or a little side of potato hash to dress it up--especially for the prices. Sweet potato hash would be divine, if the manager is reading! read more

They have very unique brews that are amazing. They sell fresh meat and it is one of the few places to get fresh fish in town. I like their sweet potato friend and cow pig burger. read more

I used to love String Bean a couple of years ago, but recently the food hasn't impressed me. They have the best beer selection in town. However, because the food is pricey and nothing special, we usually buy beer from the market and head home. read more

My very first visit to The String Bean and I'm hooked! Loved the ambience - very sociable. Leah, our waitress was super friendly. I had the absolute best black bean burger in the world. Very vegetarian & pescatarian friendly. You can eat indoors or on the patio. Although I didn't have one (because I had to return to work from lunch), The String Bean has a fantastic beer selection. Nice wine selection, too. Very friendly and attentive staff. This is one of my favourite restaurants. read more

Love this place. We received great service from Bonita on our recent visit. We will definitely be back!

I recently planned a surprise party for my wife's birthday at The String Bean. I couldn't have been more pleased with the event! The owner and chef were both very accommodating and helpful in planning the event. We had the party on the patio which worked perfect. Of course the best part was the food. Everything was excellent! The String Bean has always been one of our favorite spots and now it's at the top of our list. read more

Such a great place. Good food and great service. I love their caprese sandwich but everything we have gotten there has been great. Highly recommend it! read more

If you are looking for a quaint local restaurant. Look no further! This place is the epitome of coziness, good food and great service (server was Angela). I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes (which I am usually not a fan, but these were cooked exceptionally well and the flavor mayo sauce on top, reminded me of a spicy mayo that they use on sushi rolls)..DELICIOUS! I also had a tuna fish salad sandwich (they used ahi tuna and it was so fresh)...Also, before you leave take a stroll through the in-house market which carries a pleaothera of foriegn and domestic beers and wine. The market also has fresh meats (ie Steak/lamb/fish/etc).. Also there is a little antique store down the raod that is amazing! read more

Terrific food, service is so so and just depends who you get. Recently we had a new person and he didn't know much about the menu. We ordered Curious George (Banana bread French toast and served warm w/ bananas & maple syrup). OMG so good! and Chicken salad on croissant with eggplant fries (to die for!) . The outdoor patio with strung lights gives great ambience for an outdoor bistro. Love it! read more

Don't let the silly name fool you! Our meals were delicious! I had a bison burger that was out of this world! My friend had a chicken wrap that was also great. We both had sweet potato fries as a side, and they were really good fries. They have a huge selection of beers and wines. There is a nice patio to eat on as well. My only down point was the guitar player they hired that was playing leads to a rhythm track he recorded; that got really annoying after the second song (30 minutes of the same rhythm tracks and same leads. Imagine listening to the Venture's "Wipe Out" for 1/2 an hour, lol!) Aside from that, I will be back. read more

Three strikes resulting from one visit. The first strike resulted from a two hour wait for an early Friday dinner. TSB's on & off again reservation policy is ludicrous. Strikes two and three resulted from food bought from their deli not being as fresh as it should have been: the pork chops started turning brown the following day while it took two days for my digestive tract to recover from the crab cakes. Memorable - but not the way you'd expect. read more

We dined at this restaurant for the first time on Saturday afternoon for lunch. The food was good, however the service was very, very slow (our server was Bo) and we were shocked when the bill arrived. My husband ordered a chopped salad and added steak as a protein. There were no prices for proteins on the menu, and "Bo" did not offer the price. How in the world can they justify charging more for an added protein than they do for the salad? $12 for 4 oz. filet on an $11 salad is beyond ridiculous. It is not that we could not afford the add-on, it is the principal that if they are going to charge such an exorbitant price for such a small amount they should either disclose the cost on the menu or ensure their servers make patrons aware of the cost. A steak salad at Longhorn Steakhouse is $14.99, or for $24.49 you can get an 8 oz fillet with a side item, salad and bread. Do the math, folks, charging $23 for a salad and 4 oz of filet is a rip off. We will not be back, two thumbs down String Bean. read more

I've eaten here probably ten times and LOVE it. Sometimes they're out of my favorite beer because other people also acknowledge it's delicious and order it. Sometimes when I sit outside in the middle of the day in the summertime I notice that the sun is hot. One time I tried something new and it wasn't my favorite meal of all time. However, this place is clutch and none of that has to do with whether or not this is a great place worth visiting (on the reg). Their food is creative and delicious but still full of familiar and hearty flavors. The local sourcing is fantastic, and I've had in depth conversations with staff about where their meats and seafood are sourced. They're proud of their product, kind, and laugh at my shitty jokes. Also their eggplant fries are more important to me and relevant than the presidential election. I will admit their new bahn mi steamed bun is definitively not bahn mi or a steamed bun nor does it contain actual kimchi. But it still tastes good so whatever. This place is da bomb and I'm proud to have it in Belmont and show it off to anyone that visits. read more

My wife and I love eating here. Everything is always hot and fresh! The fried Oreos are a must! Great quality food, great staff, awesome craft beer selection, great place to take the whole family! If they made their home made mac and cheese a regular menu item, I would have given them a sixth star. read more

Took my 2 adult sons for dinner. Hostess was friendly not busy at time we came more employees than patrons.After bringing our drinks our waitress disappears for 30 minutes, When she returns she informs us that one of the burgers we ordered was not prepped and they had to make it fresh.After waiting 40 minutes our 2 burgers and steak sandwich arrived.My burger was not warm at all like it had been sitting for a while waiting to be picked up.Again waitress was not available.Finally flagged her down for the check and to show her the lipstick on the inside of one of our beer glasses.She scraped it with her fingernail and said oh thats not lipstick I never would have served that had I seen it.After leaving a ten dollar tip she told me my tip was adequate.When paying $12 for a hamburger it should at least be hot.I will not be going back Five Guys has much better burgers at half the price!! read more
