Food was generally good. We all loved the roasted corn pizza! The Starbelly bacon pizza was our second favorite. Vegan mushroom pot pie was more like a puff pastry over the mushroom mixtures. Service was excellent! Not crazy about the 5% surcharge to cover employee benefits because we believe all employers should cover their employees' benefits.

Hi Ellen, Thank you for dining with us! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience overall and look forward to serving you again in the future. In regards to the fee, we have the SF Mandated surcharge as an alternative to raising our menu prices. Hopefully this doesn't deter you from visiting us in the future. We appreciate your insight and feedback and hope to see you again soon!

Great lunch spot. Lots of good food choices (I had the Starbelly salad. Friends shared the cobb salad, deviled eggs, and burger). Great service. Nice, bright vibe, too.

Lovely neighborhood eatery with imaginative menu, reasonable prices, terrific service and a variety of areas inside and out for dining or bar service. It’s a bit noisy for old folks like us but other positive features more than compensate.

We were a party of 8 and sat on the patio. It is a lovely setting and good for a large group (not as noisy as inside the restaurant). The food was excellent and so were the cocktails! Our server, Ben, was also outstanding.

Hey Gary, So glad you enjoyed your experience. I'll let Ben know that he killed it :) Don't be a stranger, we look forward to serving you again!

I enjoy having lunch at Starbelly. But the brunch breakfast was a disaster. Over cooked and cold eggs, shriveled up bacon, mediocre potatoes. And the chilaquilles were also bad this time cold and overcooked. A truly forgettable meal. And we hadn’t anticipated the loud drag show in the main room. I’m gay but can do without the self indulgent entertainment. (For straight prurient customers visiting the Castro to see a freak show).
StarbellyResponded on June 16, 2025
Hi Tomas, Sorry to hear you had a negative Brunch experience. It sounds like we missed the mark in several aspects, and for that we apologize. I will pass this feedback on to the kitchen and talk strategy with the staff on how this can be avoided. As for our monthly drag show, we will certainly take your comments into consideration and work towards improving experience for guests who are not coming for the show. For the future, we do advertise the show several weeks in advance and are happy to serve you at anytime! Thank you for dining with us, we hope you will give us another chance :)

Honestly nothing makes the food special. In fact we found it overpriced and not worth the buck. $22 for the "kids" pasta which was just spaghetti and marinara ... I had the fresh pasta to compare difference and was exactly the same except with thick pieces of bacon. We also ordered the burger which was ok. On the other hand the wine was well selected. We will be coming back for wine only and choose to have dinner somewhere else.

Hi Isabel, Thanks for leaving us a review! We hope you will give us another chance as we continue to improve and innovate our menu. Thank you for patronizing we us, we look forward to gaining those two stars back.
