DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS! If you're in downtown Las Vegas it is absolutely worth it to come to Soul Belly off of main st! The smoked Turkey (not pictured) might be the best you've ever had! The Brisket sandwich with a fried egg is near perfection and the fries are worth the price of admission! Deliciousness reigns!

Good food, cool vibes and easy drinks! It was our first time exploring Arts District and we decided to have dinner here and start the night. We had made reservations but I don't think it was necessary. When we walked in, it wasn't too busy and we were seated right away. They had live music so the place had a higher decibel than what I would like for a dinner spot but it was fun! We ordered the brisket, pork belly, hot link and smoked turkey. I'm not a fan of pork so I don't think I have the right to comment on it HAHA Brisket was good and turkey was good too! Kind of disappointed with the fried mac & cheese ball; it was very cute but it didn't taste cute. BUT the chilled pimento cheese dip was AMAZING! I think the coleslaw is a must to balance the richness although, they give you some pickles. I think it's a great spot to start off the night and get some food in!

Dropped in for some food while over at Hudl. It's right next door so it's super easy, and they'll walk your food to the brewery when it's ready. The smell literally wafts over to you when you are anywhere close, like one of those cartoon ghost hands that lure characters to pies. Checking out the menu, the thing that stood out to me the most was their The Belly of the Soul sandwich. Everything about it sounded like I needed that in my life at that point. Brisket, pickled onions, crispy onions, cheese sauce, a fried egg, and spicy BBQ sauce?!? Yes please! With the ingredients, a side of potato salad, and the price, a whopping $26 after taxes, I was expecting this thing to be a beast and really take all I have to finish it but when it came out, I was surprised at its diminutive stature. I look like an English muffin breakfast sandwich. Now, don't get me wrong, this was one of the better sandwiches I have ever had, but I really wish it was bigger.

This place is amazing! Right down in the art district! Mac and cheese was so creamy! So good! The crumbs on top are making it so much better! 10/10 Tacos- so moist and tender! The pickled onions are Devine 8/10 Brussels sprouts were not crispy but the sauce made up for it! 8/10 Chicharrones- alone regular flavored! With the bbq sauce and pickles! The brisket- was perfectly cooked! The homemade sweet pickles are OUT OF THIS WORLD! Service and the ambiance is perfect for the summer! Overall I give this amazing place 9/10! Def come check this out!

Our family of four visited on a Thursday for lunch. We shared the half-pound Texas brisket, spicy pork and cheddar hot link, half-pound of St. Louis ribs, and wedge fries. Flavors were bold and vibrant. Meat was juicy and tender. One particular thing to note is the wedge fries - we requested it without the usual spice because our young daughters would've considered it "spicy." The kitchen gladly omitted the spices for us. These are huge potato wedges that were incredibly crispy. Our firstborn quipped, "I was initially skeptical and didn't think I would like it but after a bite, I think this is one of the best 'fries' that I've ever had."

This was my first visit to "Soul Belly BBQ". I arrived for late lunch. Eating in those hours well after lunch, but before dinner, is interesting. Often staffing is light, as was the case here. In spite of having to perform multiple tasks, the bartender / server was hospitable and a bit sassy, in an entertaining way. On this occasion, I ordered the one meat combo ($18.00). This set offers you one meat from the pit, one side, and a slice of white bread. There is a $2.00 upcharge if you select the brisket. With a beer ($8.00) and tax ($2.35), my ticket was 30.35 before gratuity. When ordering the brisket, the server asked if I wanted slices from the lean or fatty portion of the brisket--or a mix. I chose the mix. I do not use sauce on BBQ. I like to taste the smoke and rub; I also like to see the bark. Although the brisket was good, I must say that I have had better. I enjoyed the fattier slices of brisket better, as it was moister and had a better mouth feel. The slices of lean beef were not dry but were on the verge of becoming dry. In both cases, the meat was tender. The side dish I selected was the mac & cheese, with Parmesan and Chicharrón crumbs on top. The mac & cheese was very good; and the Chicharrón crumble added an extra texture to the dish. I will visit this restaurant again. There are other proteins from the pit, and meals, to try. And in spite of my comments above, each piece of beef can be different. BTW ... This establishment offers live music. Visit the soulbellybbq*com website to see who is performing, and performance schedules.

The smell of the wood smoked meats Drew our party of 4 onto this amply spaced indoor and outdoor eatery, outfitted with numerous long picnic tables for large groups and perfect for celebrating events. In spite of the winds the late afternoon lunch we ate here, the outdoor heater was more than enough to keep up comfortable. Our food arrived quickly following orders, and the bbq sauce options (3) was a nice touch. The star of the show was certainly the potato wedge brisket fries with the fattier piece of half pound brisket paired with the pickle winning close second. I noticed they had an instruments set up inside. I'm sure this would be a sweet spot to post up for a lax evening with friends / coworkers. Definitely worth a visit!
