Upon entering, we had to wait a little bit for our table to be ready. However, I really love that our server came over to greet us and offer us a drink before we ever sat down. The restaurant itself was smaller than I had anticipated, and intimate. There were 3 of us, and we shared all of the plates we got. The appetizers (empanadas, ceviche, and birria) were delicious; you really can’t go wrong with them. The pork belly was drier than I am used to, but the flavors were incredible. The carne asada was easily my favorite of the three entrées we got, but the short rib was close behind. The tres leche was phenomenal- the toasted passion fruit meringue on top really elevated the tres leche.

We enjoyed the Burrata and Ceviche.
Both were on point! The fresh Tagliatelle pasta were a little too thick but “Al dente “, however the crab risotto was flavorful but slighly overcooked. My wife ordered Carne Asada and was also good. Attentive service, small restaurant but that’s how you start something special. Hats off to Chef for following his dream and passion.

A friend and I, luckily, got into this place at the last minute. He was able to call and get a last-minute reservation for that day, which come to find out, is actually pretty hard right when you look online and try to book a table (because they are booked up for the next 6 weeks).
This place was amazing, small and ntimate, not loud and the attentive service and knowledgeable staff topped off with the absolutely amazing food. I can see why this place is so popular.
I would highly recommend trying to book a table and going to try this food.
**2nd Visit**
Went here again with the same friend for a 2nd rd og Belly of the Beast… amazing!
This time we ordered dessert before the food as they had ran out of our first choice from last time (we also had later reservations last time). We also got lucky enough to have the same server as our previous visit. The different menu items were all amazing! The hospitality is top notch, the chefs wife does front of the house, ! The chef even did a lap around and we got to say hi.
Go sooner than later to try this place, and thank me afterwards, lol.

Delightful experience with good food. The was very knowledgeable on menu – recommended a good wine as I’m not into wines.
Hats off to the chef for curating unique and delicious meals – everything we got was delicious. Touches such as salmon roe, caviar took many of the dishes to the next level. I’m usually not a fan of fine dining as portion sizes are typically ridiculously small. Though the portions weren’t huge, I think it was the best size to not leave feeling stuffed.
Will be coming back soon to try the other options in the menu!

One of the very best restaurants anywhere near Houston, and quite possibly the whole state, as evidenced by our own experiences and the owner/chef’s James Beard award as Best Chef – Texas in 2025. Simply outstanding dishes – bright, complex flavors, always in perfect harmony. Think Eagles on Seven Bridges Road – perfect, effortless harmony. Literally every bite made us smile, or even laugh, and we could not stop remarking on the amazing quality and clever flavor combinations of each and every dish.
Don’t be fooled by the modest exterior, or the plain interior either. The place was packed with foodies on a Thursday night, most clearly focused as much on the food as each other. We quickly felt the charm of the place is its simplicity – it’s all about the food, and anything distracting from that would be a shame. This is just a truly special place, and our new go-to for special occasions.

We had dinner here for a birthday and the food itself was very good. The standout dishes for us were the Texas Wagyu carne asada and the truffle bucatini — both were flavorful and well prepared. The grilled redfish was also enjoyed by the birthday guest. We also tried the grilled octopus with bone marrow and the tuna tostadas; those were good, though the bone marrow dish was just okay compared to the others.
We ordered several dishes to share so we could experience a variety of the menu, and overall the quality of the food was strong.
Where the experience fell a bit short was on the hospitality side. The reservation noted that it was a birthday, and we also mentioned it to both the hostess and the server. Despite that, there was no acknowledgment during the meal — no simple birthday greeting, no mention from the server, and no small dessert or gesture from the kitchen.
Service during the meal was polite, but there was very little explanation or engagement about the dishes beyond a brief note about the carne asada and spice levels. After we paid, we also felt like we were quickly rushed out, which made the evening feel a little abrupt for what was meant to be a birthday celebration.
Our total came to just over $200 and we tipped around 25%. We genuinely enjoyed the food, but the overall hospitality didn’t quite match the level we expected for a special occasion.
The restaurant clearly has talented chefs and strong dishes on the menu. With a bit more attention to guest experience and acknowledgment of celebrations, the overall dining experience could be even better.

Absolutely blown away by our experience at Belly of the Beast in Spring, TX — this place is a hidden gem that delivers big on flavor, creativity, and warm, attentive service. Completely understand how they got the Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition.
The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and clearly passionate about the food they serve. Elizabeth, the owner, came to our table and introduced herself (her husband is the chef). Every recommendation made was spot-on.
We started with the ceviche mixto tostadas — fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat and acidity. Then came the burrata, which was impossibly creamy and paired beautifully with seasonal accompaniments that made each bite feel like spring on a plate. The tuna tostadas were a standout — melt-in-your-mouth tender tuna with bold, zesty flavors and a crunch that was just perfection.
For the main course, we had the grilled Texas redfish, which was expertly cooked and packed with smoky, savory goodness. The portion was generous, and the flavors were simple but elevated in all the right ways with the habanero sauce.
The tres leches with passion fruit meringue was airy, luscious, and the tangy passion fruit brought a bright, tropical twist to a classic dessert.
Belly of the Beast isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience. Thoughtful, soulful, and absolutely worth the trip.

My recent dining experience here was after all the buzz on the chef and I was very excited to try the restaurant. The food itself was good — the flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation of each dish was thoughtfully done. You can tell care goes into the kitchen’s process. The service was also solid, with friendly and attentive staff who checked in regularly without being overbearing.
However, the overly casual vibe of the restaurant felt underwhelming for the price point and the effort clearly put into the food. The biggest disappointment was that not a single dish was served hot. From appetizers to mains, everything arrived at room temperature. While the ingredients were fresh and the flavors worked, serving temperature plays a big role in the overall dining experience, and here it just missed the mark.
In short, it’s a decent place with good food and nice staff, but the lack of warmth—literally and figuratively—made it a one-time visit for us.

Absolutely wonderful dinner experience. This little restaurant serves up big flavors. Every dish was the perfect blend of flavors that satisfied all your tastebuds. Great service as well. We will be back.

Went here for Valentine’s weekend with my bf and I left even happier than when I went in! The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The owners (Liz and Chef Thomas) make you feel welcome and at home. They’re such humble people if you get to talk to them!
The dishes were seasoned to perfection. When I go to a new restaurant, I like to be surprised. And surprised was what I got with every dish they brought out—there was always something new that’s thrown in to complement familiar favorited flavors. Its hard to describe, but I loved everything on their tasting menu! And the presentation, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
