Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Starbelly offers a delightful neighborhood dining experience with "great food and charming service" in a casual setting. Renowned for its "thoughtfully prepared" dishes and vibrant atmosphere, the back patio is a favorite spot. Although service can be inconsistent, the "friendly staff" and "festive cocktails" make it a must-visit.

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).

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.

Great spot. Consistent and very good vibe. It was busy!
StarbellyResponded on June 7, 2025
Hi James, Thank you for the 5 star review. So glad that Robbie gave you a wonderful experience despite the slowness of the bar. On a rare occurrence, we were unfortunately short staffed for that evening which why you experienced that delay We look forward to serving you again in a more timely fashion next time you come in!

Ordering online shows a gluten free crust option, however when we ordered a gluten free pizza at the restaurant, the waiter didn’t say anything until the pizza came out.
StarbellyResponded on June 3, 2025
Hi Eric, Thank you for your review! We do in fact have a gluten free crust option which is brand new for our restaurant- we only started serving it about a week ago. I apologize that the server did not communicate this with you, I'll be reminding the staff to be more transparent in the future. We would love to welcome you back to give us another try if you're willing! Send me a PM next time you plan on coming in and we'll make sure you're taken care of! Cheers!

Great Negroni's and the fried chicken sandwich was really tasty.

Hey Neill, Thank you for leaving us a review! Chicken sandwich with our Negroni?? Sounds iconic to me :) Would love some insight on what we can do next time to earn that last star. We look forward to taking care of you again soon!

Starbelly never misses. Lunch was, as always, thoughtfully prepared and delicious, with warm, attentive service. The back patio is the perfect spot when the sun’s out—and I’m thrilled oysters have landed on the menu. Just one more reason I’ll keep coming back.

Hey Tim, Thanks for the lovely review! We anxiously look forward to your return! See ya soon!
