Brew Belly

Stopped in to grab takeout(and a beer while I waited😉). What a place. First, the good is great. If you are a lover of over sized Cheesesteaks, then this place is for you! Chicken tenders for the kids were well received. The atmosphere is great and the service was top level. I love that they have a revolving menu of beers from local brewerys. You can also purchase said beers to take home in a great cooler section. It seemed to be a popular spot to watch a game at, and they have a lot of events they host during the week. A great local spot that is definitely worth a try!

I cannot truly convey how happy this place makes me. As someone who splits their time between the US and Canada, their poutine will always be my favorite, but all the food is fantastic. What really brings it all together, though, is the service and the atmosphere. Truly top-notch, it feels like having a beer at your cool uncle’s house during the family reunion. Board games, comfortable seating, and some of the friendliest staff you’ll ever meet. We eat here at least twice a month and it never seems like enough. You can’t go wrong with this local gem and their beer selection is fantastic to boot!

Neat place! I'm not a drinker but everybody in the place seem to be real happy with the varied beer selection. Apparently the cheese steaks are tremendous, but they had some stunningly good healthy options as well. They have a neat selection of grain and veggie bowls - the Athena was awesome! The Athena bowl with warm grains and crunchy chickpeas was! Might have to make this our new post softball game destination...

Our first time here. A very nice experience. We shared a beer and plain fries. Both were excellent. The beer was cold and fizzy and the fries (naked and well-done) were hot and crisp. Amazingly, the two of us ate all of 'em. We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air. The place was busy on a weeknight. Our only complaint is the lack of salt shakers/packets although, admittedly, the fries had ample salt.

Fantastic little spot. Very large selection of beer. Wonderful food (and you get a lot of it). The giant pretzel was amazing. Come for dinner and a few beers and play one of the many boats games they have available

Some friends and I came here on a whim after not having seen eachother for a while and we are all so glad that we did. The staff are friendly, the food was good and the selection of drinks is almost overwhelming. We had such a good time hanging out here, the atmosphere was very welcoming and what was supposed to be a quick meet up for lunch turned into hours of chatting and hanging out. If you are looking for a chill place to just hang out, you should give this place a try!

Solid food here. Cheesesteaks are the best in the county, and in the winter time - amazing soup. Great whiskey selection for a bar in the Olney area. I was honestly surprised by it. Staff here are beyond helpful and knowledgeable . I'll be a life long customer here.

It’s my first time today. And I regret that I didn’t visit here earlier. I ordered wings, fried cheese curds and Ben’ sausage to go. Everything is good especially wings( Garlic parm, more seasoning would be better tho) and fried cheese curds. (No pic of the hotdog, I already ate them by the time I took a picture) Wings are fresh and big. Also, they have the best fried cheese curds. Staffs are all nice and friendly. I’m brining my people next time and I want to try other foods.

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

Brew Belly - Cheesesteaks, Fries, and Chill Vibes! Jasmine and I hit up Brew Belly recently, and let me tell you, this spot knows how to make you feel welcome. The staff was super friendly, and the menu has so many cheesesteak options -- perfect for someone like me who's a bit of a cheesesteak critic. Jasmine went with the Route 108, and the bacon on it was such a good touch. I got the Moco (no tomatoes) and added hot peppers on the side because, let's be real, hot peppers are a must on cheesesteaks. The flavor was great, but I wished there was more cheese. Definitely asking for extra cheese next time! The fries? Crispy, salty, and totally giving that boardwalk vibe. A perfect pairing. We went during their lunch special -- $15 for a cheesesteak, fries, and a soda or beer. Such a deal! The venue itself is packed with TVs playing sports, so it's the perfect spot for gamedays. And if you're into trivia, puzzles, or bingo, they've got weekly events to keep things fun. Plus, happy hour is $5 drinks Monday through Thursday (4-6 PM) and Friday (3-6 PM). If you love cheesesteaks, chill vibes, and fun events, Brew Belly is worth a visit. Just remember to ask for extra cheese!

Owner and staff not friendly at all. There are better places in Olney than this one.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

INCREDIBLE BEER SELECTION on Draft and 2 buy!!! Would give 5 except wish there were more selections of food! Cooper Strong Cheesesteak is great!

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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...).

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.

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.

As someone who hails from Philly, let me give you some cheesesteak advice. Use shaved ribeye. The cuts you use are tough, grisly and too fatty. In a real Philly cheesesteak you should never, never need to chew your meat or come across a piece of solid fat. The meat should not be overly greasy. Next, use a solid roll. Anyone from Philly feels passionately about their roll, whether on a hoagie or cheesesteak. It should not have the texture of a firm hot dog bun. It should be crusty on the outside and softer on the interior. You may not have easy access to good Italian rolls in Maryland, but it really makes a huge difference. I like all your creative options for a cheesesteak but without the right meat and a roll, I can't stomach it. Other than that, you have good fries, beer, and a nice ambiance. I just hope you up your cheesesteak game.

The draft list- something for everyone The beer take away options- plentiful The cheesesteaks- mouth-watering The service-friendly and pretty quick I can't say enough good things about this place! Great spot to catch a game on tv or grab a beer with a buddy.

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!

Usually order to-go and the service is fast and friendly. All the poutines are great especially the one with bacon. The cheesesteak subs are really good. I normally order the Wiz-Wit.

Great spot that really captures the essence of Maryland! Yelp won't let me post less than 85 characters so I'm still typing.

I should start by saying I'm originally from Philly and a bit of a cheesesteak snob. This place gets it right on a lot of levels! Amoroso rolls, good, shaved ribeye meat, and equally respectful of the provolone and whiz styles of cheesesteaks. They also do amazing fruits and have a tremendous rising net selection. I have ALWAYS been a provolone cheesesteak gal, but this place has converted me with their Whiz-Wit. My carnivore husband also just learned that for an up-charge, they do a double meat - so that's happening every time from now on. They used to have a cheesesteak with greens (arugula?) and tiger sauce along with cheese whiz... it was so unique, my absolute favorite, I wish they'd bring it back.

Excellent steak and cheese sandwich. Priced right. Sandwich, tater tots and drink $20. The sandwich was packed with steak, onions and peppers. I will continue to eat here while I am working in the area.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

We enjoyed our lunch at Brew Belly. If you love cheesesteak, homemade fries, and get draft beer, this is the place. Everything was very good. You order at the counter and find a seat and they bring it out to you. Service is very friendly and helpful with the different draft beers. Ambiance is good for a sports bar type place.

The fries I ordered were delicious,I could not finish them but they put boxes that you can take to save your food for later, which is really good. There are books and board games that you can freely use too, so coming with friends would be a good idea. The waitress is really nice and cheerful too !

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!

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!

The worst cheesesteak I've ever had. The bread was so stale. I had also ordered some wings as a back up, and those were inedible as well. Yes, the other reviews aren't mistaken--"salty" is the word. How do you screw up wings??

Was craving a decent cheeseteak. Being a Washingtonian, there's only one place back home that has a good one. My mom told me about this place because of their beer selection. I skimmed over the food menu and found a cheeseteak on there. I got a wiz wit and it was the closest thing to authentic that I've found out here so far. Chopped ribeye seasoned well. A Mountain of cheese and good amount of grilled onion on a soft warm roll. I loved it. The hand cut fries were awesome too and they don't skimp. Great beer selection as well.

Brew Belly is a tiny brewery in Olney, but they have an extensive range of beers (way more than Lone Oak). Their food is also great and so affordable.

Got the lunch special, $15 for cheesesteak, fries, and beer. Got the cheesesteak wit wiz. Pretty decent but I would want to try the other ones too. The fries were perfect, felt like they were hand cut and cooked perfectly. The beer was also very tasty.

It is a nice and casual place to meet friends for a quick beer and some wings. The other food offerings are mainly sandwiches and salads. The wings were large and tasty.

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.

This place was such a great find! They have an excellent beer selection (canned and on tap) and I love when a place offers flights! The poutine was also excellent.

This is a good place to eat and you can pick games to play and drinks out of a fridge and pay for it . They have really good wings really recommend.

One of the best, ok the best, place to grab a beer and a bite in Olney. The beer selection is just amazing, they have something for everyone and it is all local, Maryland specific but DC sneaks in every once in a while. I think around 20 options on draft and a whole bunch more by the can, probably around 70 other options. The food hits the mark they are aiming for, great cheesesteaks, amazing poutine, don't sleep on the wings, and some solid vegetarian options (my wife loves the cauliflower "wings"). The staff is always very, very friendly and quick with a recommendation or a sample. Also, if you are a whiskey/bourbon lover, this place has one of the best selections you will find in the state. I shit you not, in the state. I drink a lot of whiskey, and they have some great options I hadn't tried before as well as hard to find stuff (Wellers, EH Taylor, etc..). They have also recently added a really nice outdoor section so if you are still trying to avoid being inside not a problem. You order at the counter, start a tab, and then food gets brought to you. I can not say enough great things about this establishment. If you live nearby and have not been, get over there. Oh, the lunch special is a cheesesteak, fries, and a beer or a soda for only $15!!! I mean, it doesn't get any better than that

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!

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.

Are you watching your caloric intake? This may not be for you. But if you're looking for a good range of beer, some cocktails, a great pretzel, some really good cheesesteaks and more fries than should ever be ingested by a human, then you've come to the right place! On top of that there is a huge selection of beer that you can take away. Want to try something new? Do it! Live in NoVA and can't make it to all the Maryland breweries? Try 'em all. The only pity is I have to drive there.

I rode 32 miles round trip to get here and back and it was totally worth it. I lived in Olney quite a ways back and there was nothing like Brew Belly at that time. What a great combination of progressive, adventurous gastropub food, a solid selection of local state microbrews, and some of the friendliest staff I've encountered. For my first meal there, I went with the Wiz-Wit cheesesteak with some hot peppers and extra mayo. It was straight fire, one of the very best I've ever had. The cheddar Velveeta Wiz sauce was molten, the steak succulent and sizzling with flavor, and the authentic Amoroso roll warm and just the right balance of a crispy, toasty exterior and soft interior. Superb. I had one of their drafts, an amber IPA, and it paired well perfectly. Emily and Aidan were great to chat with, and I look forward to meeting more of the staff in future visits.

The food was absolutely delicious, hot and fresh. Ordered 2 cheesesteaks, fries and wings and everything was super flavorful. Not greasy at all, definitely large portions that you can vox and take home. I would definitely be interested in trying some of the other wing flavors. Also the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu especially for a first timer.
