Taste of Belgium is a restaurant group of Belgian-inspired eateries. We take traditional Belgian recipes and we twist them; we take American classics and we Belgianize them. We believe elegant cuisine can be served with a down-to-earth attitude and humble foods can be served elegantly. We take the food we create and the service we provide very seriously, but not ourselves. Waffles, Chicken, Beer. Eat Like a Belgian, Drink Like a Belgian, Live Like a Belgian!

The food was half and half. Part of my family really likes goetta. Apparently it was too dry. Also, I feel like they should make the waffles available with no sugar on top, but maybe they do and I just didn’t ask. The only saving grace for me was that the turkey sausages were on point. Delicious. And the cappuccinos were excellent.

Service was incredibly attentive & timely. Food & drinks not great. I get beers are their specialty; however wine (Cab) was terrible. Food - frites, burger, crepe for our party - was meh. Food used to be so good here, quality has definitely gone downhill. :(

We were seated at a table for 2 on the other side of check in station when you enter the restaurant. It was breezy and cold seated there because the door was opening constantly with people coming it to facility. I would not suggest that seat to anyone.

Met someone there for a breakfast meeting. Beautiful place with lots of tables! I was shocked at how easy it was to park because in the late afternoons and evenings, that area typically packed. Will keep in mind especially for morning gathering spot. Colleague I was meeting actually pointed out the tables in the back that are a little more private even so will keep in mind for future needs.

Terrific Sunday brunch for our group. Our server was outstanding and did such a great job with refilling sodas without being asked, keeping us well supplied with an appetizer while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive, etc. The salmon crepe was delicious, and we also loved the pretzel bier appetizer as a shareable snack before the main course.

The staff were great, the food was good, the value was fine, but the noise was very high. We were a table of 4, we sat in the back and it was hard to hear each other over the noise. "Energetic" is the nicest way to describe the noise level, hectic, LOUD, is how I would describe it. Next time, if we go back, we will likely try to sit outside.
Taste of Belgium - RookwoodResponded on September 5, 2023
Glad you enjoyed the food and service! Saturdays and Sundays can be a little energetic when you're voted one of the best brunches in the city!! Try us on a weekday for some more peace and quite with your brunch :)

Server was very nice but had to ask for refills when it was obvious. Asked for ketchup when I ordered, didn’t come. Server, or any, wasn’t around after order was delivered to fix it. Frites weren’t very hot. Very pricey for the total experience, & I don’t mind paying for quality.

Girls’ night out! I came late and did not catch our server’s name- no tag- and she was fabulous🤩 Star service and answered all questions. Pretzels were more like knotted dinner rolls and bier cheese was mildly cheesy at best. Belgian burger with Impossible was tasty. Had fun and nice atmosphere!

We went to Taste of Belgium Rookwood for lunch on July 4th. They were featuring their brunch menu. I had the steak and frites. The meal included a small salad along with the fries and a sirloin steak. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of my meal. The steak and the fries were both served at the appropriate temperature. The salad was light and tasty. My wife had a burger and fries. She was also pleased with her meal. Our server was helpful and courteous. We did not have to wait long for our meal. The only minus of the meal was the "tackiness" or "stickiness" of the wood surface of our table. While I think the table surface was clean, it just doesn't feel that way. Having said that, the surface of a table is a small thing compared to the quality of the meal and the dining experience that we had.

The food quality has gone way down. This has become more like a chain experience. We keep getting served poorly cooked items - overcooked or undercooked. Disappointing. My kids used to love TOB but now agree it’s no longer their go-to.

The Bacon and Cheese omelet was so good that I had two. The texture was very fluffy, yet the bacon gave crunch, and the onions and peppers were sauteed to perfection.

We had a party of 7 and everything was fantastic except for the tables I have noticed this with other restaurants that have wood tables but these were by far the worse I had encountered. They were so sticky you felt as if they had never been wiped down before. I know this isn't the case but I sincerely hope for your patrons sake you invest a little money and refinish or replace. We loved everything else!
