    We absolutely loved our experience here. The staff were so accommodating and kind, even though we were a bit disorganized. The food was delicious, we highly recommend sampling the smoked chorizo and bao. The drinks were high quality and the prices made sense for the quality and portion of the food. Check out the half price apps from 4-6!

    We had a great evening. B-Side Social has unique cocktails and the service was excellent. The jalapeño cheese dip is to die for. We shared the BBQ platter between 3 of us and there was plenty of food, the selection was wonderful.

    Had a very nice brisket dinner on Saturday night. Nothing bad to say about the place. We are from out of town and got chatting with both the waiter and manager who suggested a bunch of other cool restaurants in HAMILTON that we should try. I would definitely go back.

    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
