    Went for the Novemburger. The A5 Brisket Jammer was delicious, my favourite burger of the competition and in my personal top 5. Our server, Nick, was knowledgeable and genuine, not pretentious. The decor and music was in my wheelhouse. Definitively going back. A great overall experience.

    This was the best restaurant I’ve been to for southern style smoked meat. We had the brisket, pork belly and chorizo sausage with Cajun fries. The bbq sauce comes on the side. Everything was beyond delicious. Our server was very knowledgeable and put our experience here over the top. We will be back without a doubt.

    Wish they had more vegetarian and fish entrees. All the mains are meat so if that’s your thing I am sure it would be good. We had limited choices. Great vibe in the place but menu didn’t really work for us
