Driven past this place for over 10 years and didn't even realize it was there. Owner tells us he makes a great tri-tip and ribeye. We had the mushroom slices and steak tips from the appetizer menu. Holy cow! Amazing! Husband had a hot beef, I had a smothered chicken and kiddo had a grilled cheese. All fabulous typical down home diner fare. Tables were heavy and sturdy. Prob as old as the building. Lots of folks patronizing the place. Food was great. Happy we stopped. Will definitely stop again read more

Great service and great food. A great little home town restaurant. We were passing through and had dinner- we came back for breakfast before moving on down the road. read more

We needed a place to have a family gathering for a funeral. The folks at the Bel Villa were exceptional! They prepared good food, gave us a private space, made sure we had beverages and over all were wonderful. We would highly recommend them. Members of our family were there for breakfast a couple of days. Again-- good food and good service. read more

Waited 20 minutes and the only person to acknowledge our presents was the old lady clearing tables who brought us water. Two waitresses totally ignored the fact we were there. read more

A very good and authentic tasting meal. Portions were generous and the waitstaff was quick and very attentive. Clean and accommodating seating area as well. read more

We stopped in as we drove back home after the eclipse, expecting it to be slammed and get slow service, as how often does a restaurant in Belleville KS get a rush on Mondays at 3 pm for lunch/dinner? They were slammed, but we were able to get excellent, quick service, as were the other people who stopped in for a post eclipse late lunch/ early dinner. The food was very good as well, as we had a cheeseburger and a tri tip sandwich as our food selections. The cheeseburger was thick and juicy and the tri-tip was smoked just right and salty/delicious just like it says on the menu. Additionally, the strawberry lemonade hit the spot! We are very glad we chose the Bel Villa steakhouse for our meal on the way back from the eclipse and will stop again if we are in the area! read more

Friendly service, Good for meat eaters, a bit sparse, but beef reigns! The special was a filet mignon wrapped in bacon which was prepared on the rare side of medium rare (which is better than overdone). It was so much meat a to-go Box brought it home to be fried with eggs in the morning! The Taco Baked Potato was just the right meal choice for me. read more

Stopped by about 5 minutes before closing. We had just finished a 10 baseball stadiums in 10 days....we were traveling thru Kansas, we hadn't eaten since breakfast. Our waitress never made us feel rushed and shared the daily special with us. Our food was fresh, warm and tasty. Especially the warm bread they served...yum. We are from California and truly appreciate their hospitality they shared with us. Our waitress was super awesome!! read more

Over the last few years, during the County Fair, this place has become a reliable mainstay for the many race fans who come here from around the country looking for a place to eat in this little burg with the nationally known race track. Known for their breakfasts among the fans and their willingness to stay open late after the races this one week per year, the wait staff is gracious and their breakfasts are good. If you like steaks and burgers, you will like to eat here. If you have something else in mind, there is little creativity, no fresh vegetables in this land of farm-a-plenty and generally disappointing food. Side salads, even in the middle of summer, are iceberg lettuce only. My lovely waitress took back the yellow core, half the size of my fist, that lay in my salad to exchange for a few leafs of green lettuce. Vegetables are canned. My small baked potato was over baked and dry with over cooked and dry bacon bits. $2.15 for the potato and another $1.50 to load it. I asked for a single grilled chicken breast and was charged the price of a sandwich - $5.75. They used a press, yes! a press to cook it flat and, of course, it was overcooked and dry. It's very sad when you can cook beef to perfection; but have no understanding of how to cook something as simple as a lean chicken breast. I have no plans to spend any more money in here the next few days except perhaps for breakfast. I am never really pleased with anything else here and don't need beef, beef, beef. read more

I hope you like being the center of attention...cuz...you will be! Unless of course you're a regular....them you'd be one of the folks staring at the odd city people. Quick stop for some bacon and eggs. Reasonable prices, reasonable portions. No fluff, just standard fare. Hot coffee, hot cakes, and perfectly basted eggs. All n all, worth a couple stares. read more

Nice country restaurant, but do expect country! Dirty work shirts to white haired up dos! Husband had noon special, a hot beef sandwich that he said was very good. I had a fajita chicken salad which was okay, okay because the lettuce had that bagged taste with some age on it. :-/ read more

Not a good place to go for a good breakfast! The pancake I ordered was large & thin, but it had a good flavor. The biscuits and sausage gravy was just OK as were my eggs. Coffee was pretty weak and I don't drink it strong. Our waitress obviously did not like her job as she was neither friendly or attentive. She brought us coffee, but did not even ask us if we wanted water. Some how we were charged $14.00 + for $11.15 of food & drink + tax ??? Will not be back read more

Biscuits n gravy, egg scrambles, pancakes..etc. Comfort food. Nothing special...no tapas...no vegan menu....no gluten free marketing. Just good breakfast that will increase your cholesterol by 100. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. read more

Small portions for a decent price. The food was pretty good though. I suggest the pepper jack bites as an appetizer. Also, I ordered a mixed drink but I believe it was straight alcohol. It's not a bar, so I wasn't expecting a above average drink. The service leaves a little to be desired. One evening our server took our order, brought our drinks and food, and gave us the check. No checking on us in between or making sure our food was okay. It was not a busy night either. I will go back again. read more

So happy to find a restaurant open for dinner on Sunday! The parking lot was full, so I knew that's a good sign. Lots of variety on menu. Tri-tips is their speciality according to the owner. We had a question about an item and he came right out to help us, cowboy hat and all! Hot little loafs of bread accompanied the meal too. My hubby had a tender delicious ribeye steak that you could cut with a fork! Had a choice of a potato and a side which I chose yummy baked beans. The owner even offered to sell us a frozen tri-tip roast to take home with us! We'll definitely stop next time we head west! read more

Great quick stop right off Hwy 81! We stopped for lunch and enjoyed the sandwiches thoroughly. Service was fast and friendly. If we lived closer, this would be one of our regular eating spots. read more

I've eaten here several times and while the is good the menu needs updating, the Smoked Brisket comes in the form of Pulled BBQ Beef several other items as well, so when you order be sure to specify or ask what it is if your not sure of the menu's description, but the food taste great and the service is good. read more

Great service. If something goes wrong the boss makes sure he satisfies. They have generous treats when it's a special occasion. They recognize you when you come back and make you feel welcome. Even when it's busy and they are short they try their best to make sure everyone is happy. The food is great! Best place to get a great steak! Always trying something new on the menu and let's travelers taste test the tri-tip! :P read more

Stayed next door @ the INN. Walked on over had supper. Service started off very good but, as the place filled up service slowed. Food was very good and the price point is right on. If the locals eat here you know it's got to be good. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Stopped here for supper. they had a pork tenderloin sandwich that I found to be very tender and the bun was very fresh. They offer a varied menu and while the decor is old fashioned the place is clean and the food is good I will definitely stop on my next trip. read more

This was easy access off the 81. The service was very welcoming and the food was top notch. My kids couldn't stop talking about how good everything was! Very friendly here and would definitely recommend stopping for a bite to eat! read more
