Our first try at going to the Taste of Belgium was very good. We were greeted/seated immediately and they were fine for our request to move away from the door (Very cold this day) into other seating. All the food came out well, waffles and chicken, etc. However, we ordered our appetizer along with all our entrees and specified "we will have the Brie to start" and all the food came out at once, making it feel a bit rushed vs we were there to enjoy our food and take our time. (which was confusing as they were NOT busy) The waitserver likely was new. The food was all fresh and hot, and we will return again, so the overall impression was good and we will be back AND we recommend that you try it at well!

We paid $48 before tip. This included two salads with chicken and one ice tea. The salads were a little less than a big bowl of arugula. Mine was supposed to have walnuts and did not. Next time, I think I will stick with the crapes and not the salad thing. My husband is not sure that there will be a next time.

The food was OK overall. Brussels sprouts appetizer was excellent and huge portion. No prices listed on drink menu which is awkward. A bit pricey. This location is a remodeled Bob Evans which doesn't really work for the vibe they're trying to achieve. Service was very good. The place was nearly empty on a Friday night which isn't a good sign, especially given the lack of other restaurant options nearby.

I feel the quality - from the food to the service - has really gone downhill. This is the third time I’ve gone to TOB in the last year and is most likely the last. It used to have such standards and flavor but, for whatever reason, it seems that has been compromised. Our server was nice enough but didn’t really understand the job or how to take our orders. Some of the food was not available. The fries aren’t what they used to be and the salad was overworked. The place was nearly empty for lunch on a Saturday!

The beer cheese did not taste very cheesy, but the pretzels were very good. The fries were good and the baked brie was excellent. Service was spotty - long wait to order as the one server was clearing tables and sweeping the floor. Maybe they're under-staffed.

We felt bad walking in at 830 because the restaurant was empty, but they were very friendly and welcomed us to eat there. The hostess, and our server, was very helpful and attentive. Burger was great, fries are amazing. Chicken and waffles was also a hit, although we did not get the hot sauce for it. If you like good, European and American beer go here! Just felt bad they had to stay open on a Friday night with no customers.

Food was terrible. We were a part of 6 and no one liked the food. Scrambled eggs were too dry. Omelette lacked any flavor. Server didn’t ask us if we wish different sides than fries and we had already ordered fries for the table. Crepes were tortilla bread style vs. actual crepes. Disappointed!

We had never eaten here before so thought we would try it out. We were seated quickly. Table set up is very open, close neighbors. The menu seemed very limited for breakfast options. Dined around 10 am. Coffee was very good. Overall food was okay. Prices seemed a little on the higher side for what was served. Frites were probably the best thing we ate. Drinks which were just coffee and unsweetened tea were very expensive at a price of $4 each. Service was decent.

First time to Taste of Belgium and our meals were disappointing to say the least. I had the Goetta Hash but it was dry and tasteless even with the Mornay cheese sauce. The goetta was good but the frites overwhelmed the eggs and goetta. My wife had the Bistro Breakfast. There was a generous portion of goetta but, unfortunately, the waffles were not fresh … tasted like they were a day old.

Service is slipping and the location needs some TLC. Food was fine but slow service and need for upgrades in that location. It is not as good as Rookwood or downtown for that matter. Be careful not to over expand and lose your charm.

I expected a better quality of food given the type of restaurant it claimed to be. The waffle (singular) was the size of a small saucer with what tasted like can wipped cream and Hershey syrup. My son had the banana crepe, also just one and smaller. These were sold at entree pricing. 9-10$ We split the “loaded” friets which was priced at large appetizer prices. It tasted like frozen bag fries with normal cheese and bacon, with sour cream and chives topping. I would not return.

The new menu is not as rewarding as the old. Certain items that my out of town guests looked forward were no longer available at dinner- only at lunch. The food was not what it was. The Beltucky was warm in parts and cool on other segment of the sandwich. Some of the beer on the menu was not available. A bit disappointing and unexpected

Outdoor seating was not open. Reservation was made for outdoor seating. Food was OK. We have had better food at other locations.
