Belly Bombz Kitchen - Artesia

Initial weird front staff/waitress. We actually had a reservation we made (though short notice), but the waitress with blond hair that day told us their manager wasn't there to check on the OpenTable reservations. We were put on the waiting list instead. Not having someone in charge on a busy Friday evening? Very questionable. Also as we were about to sit at the bar that was open, she said we couldn't either but then the bartender said it was open. Weird. I'm flagging this as a 2/5 star because we had such an awkward experience by not having our reservation honored and then stating we can't sit at the bar when we eventually clearly did. Otherwise food and bartender were good.

For some reason this place continues to surprise me everytime I go there and it’s not in a good way. The first couple times I have went there it has been nothing but bad service. When I arrived there, they had me put down my name on their waitlist and there will be plenty of tables open. I was also the first one on the waitlist but I had to wait for an hour for them to start going through the waitlist and seating people to their tables. I had made a reservation from this app at 6:45pm and just as I arrive there apparently they were doing some construction in there but the odd thing was that their sign on the door noted “closed monday-tuesday due to minor construction.” It was Thursday when I made my reservation so now to me it seems like their service and communication is low quality. I do not see myself ever coming back to this place.

We dined in for happy hour . Really nice specials . Would be nice if it was a full service bar but the oxtail fries are forever a fave . People come check this place out !

Originally strange front personnel/worship. We actually had a reservation that we made (although at short notice), but the waitress with blond hair told us her manager was not there to check on the OpenTable reservations. We were placed on the waiting list instead. Doesn't anyone have responsibility on a busy Friday night? Very questionable. Even when we sat in the bar that was open, she said we couldn't, but then the bartender said it was open. Weird. I know this as 2/5 stars, because we had such a disgusting experience by not honoring our reservation and then say we can't sit at the bar when we finally clear. Otherwise, food and bartender were good.

For some reason, this place surprises me every time I go there and it is not in a good way. The first few times I went there was nothing but bad service. When I arrived there, they let me put my name on their waiter list and many tables will be open. I was also the first one on the waiter list, but I had to wait an hour until they go through the waiter list and put people on their tables. I had made a reservation from this app at 6:45 a.m. and as I arrived there, apparently they did some construction there, but the strange thing was that their shield at the door noticed “closed Monday-tuesday due to the small construction.” It was Thursday when I made my reservation so now for me, it seems as if their service and communication is low quality. I never see myself coming back to this place.
