The fried chicken sandwich is THAT GOOD! The pantry items are also ?? ? and the special sugar snap pea salad was ? — I’ll easily go WAY out of my way to get lunch here again.
So good! The Firehouse has just the right amount of heat, the fingerling potatoes are addictive, and the specials never fail to please. Everything is fresh and huge on flavor! Great service too.
Absolutely incredible sandwich. The Firehouse Special Fried Chicken Sandwich is the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. Highly recommended and you will not be disappointed.

We sought out Belfare because I am forever on this quixotic quest for the best fried chicken sando. I've been disappointed many times, but this time...SCORE! Not only was the sandwich perfecto, the fingerlings were a big win too. The sauces that came with the potatoes- another win. The staff were all delightful, accommodating, and helpful. We are definitely making the short drive from Santa Rosa to Petaluma again to enjoy everything that is Belfare. Bravo!

Shining example of what Petaluma needs as an addition to an already established food scene.
My friend & I tried one of their chicken sandwiches while strolling through the Tuesday Farmers Market in the Lucchesi Center parking lot. It was ok, nothing spectacular to write home about but it did the job of being our lunch! Fast foward to Belfare now having opened a store front (they still do the Tuesday Farmers Market from what I'm told) that is open Monday through Friday 10am to 2pm and that's it. Was down in the area of their store front and it was just about lunch time so I swung in there and ordered the Fire House Special Fried Chicken Sandwich and Furikaka with sesame mayo fingerlings (their version of french fries) and I took it back to work to share with my friend. It was DEEEEELIOUS!! The Furikaka fingerlings were to die for (so addicting!!) and the way fill overfilled the box that we shared along with splitting the sandwich it was plenty of food for the two of us!! Wish they were open on Saturdays then I could go there more often, which may or may not be a good thing for my waistline and wallet. LOL If you are near their store front between 10 & 2 Monday through Friday or at the Tuesday Farmers Market at the Lucchesi Center I would highly suggest trying the fingerlings and the Fire House Special Fried Chicken sandwich!!

This place is great! Awesome food and really friendly service. Can't wait to go back.
I have heard about the chicken sandwich here and finally got my chance to try it. This is the best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten in my 69 years. This will be my 'treat your self' treat from now on.

I’ve dined in and was rewarded with a great lunch. So please if you ever find yourself in Petaluma looking for a great meal, come here.But if you really want the full experience, their catering was off the hook.This weekend, I booked the Belfare team to cater a birthday celebration and was blown away with the food, the presentation, and the overall experience working with Erik.Our party guests raved last night and are still texting me all day about how much they loved the food. Everyone thought the Mt Lassen trout was the best salmon they’d ever had! ? The beef was perfect, the salads amazing and of course the fried chicken sliders!! Just awesome.

So I called in and ordered and it took about 15 minutes to be ready. The sandwhich was pretty yummy I loved how much chicken there was in it and the pickles were very good. I'm not too much a fan of the hot sauce but overall wasn't bad! The only bad part is I believe I spent about $23 for this on its own and that to me is way overpriced for what it is. I didn't even get fries or a drink. The people who worked there were very nice! I would recommend for the flavor but not the price.

Best fried chicken sandwich I’ve had. Learned of them from the local Tuesday farmers market where they have a stand. We try and go once a week or two.
