our smoked-to-perfection BBQ, our Creole Jambalaya bursting with flavor, and our signature Southern Fried Chicken paired with decadent house-made sides and sauces. It's the kind of food that warms your soul and makes you want to come back for more. Of course, no meal is complete without something to wet your whistle, and we've got you covered there too! Our rotating selection of Bourbons, Beers, and Cocktails are the perfect complement to your meal, and are sure to please any palate.

Send this to the girlies you need dinner with! 🥂🍟

At B-Side it hits a little different. The Caesar’s made in-house with smoked bacon and shaved parm, the fries come out hot with chipotle aioli, and our white wines? Impeccable. Try the Map Maker. But yes, we got amazing Espresso Martinis to end the night with, too.

Grab your girlfriends and book a table tonight!

If you’re taking Mom out, keep it simple and make it good. Start with something from the smoker, add fries on the side, maybe a round of cocktails, and let her actually enjoy not having to cook for once. 🍽️🍷

From slow smoked brisket to ribs and all the sides that come with it, this is the kind of meal that feels like a proper treat without overthinking it.

Book your table for Mother’s Day at B-Side Social and take her somewhere she’ll actually want to eat. https://bsidesocial.ca/reservations.html

A little bit of brisket, a bite of snow crab, pass the ribs, grab an oyster, go back for more.

That’s how people eat at B-Side Social. You’re not getting "just one thing", you’re building your night as it goes. BBQ board in the middle, seafood boil getting picked at, a few extra plates showing up because no one’s ready to stop at just one. 🥩🦐
