Such a gem! Finally stopped by for cocktails and a light bite the other night and Porter Belly’s exceeded my expectations! Prices are extremely fair with generous portions and high quality ingredients. The atmosphere is so cozy and comfortable. Will definitely be back more often!
I tried the Korean fried cauliflower, bacon cheeseburger egg rolls, ribeye steak tacos, and fish tacos.
Food:
The Korean fried cauliflower was delicious, fried with a sweet garlic soy sauce, served with some mild gochujang sauce on the side. If you're looking for something healthy or spicy, this probably won't be right for you.
The bacon cheeseburger egg rolls order includes two rolls, each cut in half. It comes with comeback sauce on the side, which tasted like ketchup, mayo, and maybe a few other ingredients mixed together. The skin of the rolls had a nice light crisp. The rolls were absolutely delicious, at the cost of consuming a lot of grease.
The tacos had generous portions of protein in them, but they weren't standouts to me. The tacos are made with cold soft flour shells, which I would have preferred heated. The steak also could have used a little more seasoning, but it does come with some very spicy habanero sauce on the side. The fish was the better option in my opinion. Each order is served with a side of rice and beans which was made perfectly fine.
Service:
Our server, Taylor, immediately greeted me as I walked in and was friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our hour there. She checked in regularly despite being the only server and bartender for about five groups of diners on an early Tuesday evening.
Overall:
For a bar, their food was definitely above average. I wouldn't hesitate to return and try their other menu items.
