Noho Nyc Bar & Grill

Had a Sunday lunch at this American style bar & grill early this month. The venue is huge with lots of seating indoor as well as the al fresco area. Had the alcoholic ginger beer the night before at the Sixth Acres@ Bowen Hill so went for the Jamaican drink. Ordered 1/2 kilos of Chilli Jam Fried Chicken Wings and Trio of sliders to share. Actually, I felt so regret not to order the Hell's Kitchen Wings but this sweet chilli version was not bad with juicy texture. Loved the idea of trio of sliders so we could taste three different mini-burger in one hit. Indeed, the beef pattie, southern chicken and pulled pork really delivered different taste and sensation to our palates. The size of the slider was just spot-on and not too much for my small appetite. Overall, I loved this eatery and recommend it to other foodies.

We ordered (between 2) the Mac and Cheese Balls, Onion Rings, Poutine Fries and Trio of Sliders. The onion rings were a little bit to much could have been a smaller portion. The cheese balls blew my mind. The poutine fries were the best I have ever had. The sliders were fresh and a great share option. We finished with the apple pie and smores. Both were really nice. Coffee was also really nice. I am normally let down by poor coffee at most restaurants. Dinner for 2, with a cider each, Dessert and coffee at $90 was great value for money. We will be back.

We went for dinner on a Saturday night, made a booking and restaurant was quite full. Our drinks came out fast but our meal took over an hour to come out so definitely be prepared to wait. We got the trio of sliders which was good, the traditional cob salad which is pretty good and the share board. We couldn't finish it all - not the healthiest thing obviously but hit the spot. Will go back for the hot dogs they looked good. Overall pretty good food if you're after greasy soul food 👍🏽

We have had takeaway lunch from Noho twice now. The first experience, I thought the cheeseburger was one of the best in Brisbane and we loved the skinny rosemary chips. Second time, the cheeseburger and chicken and bacon burger was a bit on the salty side.

It's also a great place for breakfast, we had a share board with a feast of eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, halloumi, tomato and fritters.

Hubby and I headed here on its second day of opening. The owner Glenys was cheerily going around greeting customers, and introducing herself. The waitresses were nice young things, who had big smiles and a welcoming manner. The menu is pretty typical of most bars/cafes these days - mostly American, mostly burgers and fries. (I am hanging out for a change to this in the Brisbane restaurant scene I must confess.) But clearly it is what the punters want!

We started with a ginger beer (him) and a cocktail (moi). Hubby had been asking for possible mocktails (seemingly this wasn't possible), and I did wonder if my cocktail had somehow become confused with a mocktail. I rarely order them as they are expensive and sadly not always worth the money. I have to say this was in the latter category - not much flavour, not much (any?) alcohol and in a teeny glass with very little in it. i was disappointed with this one, especially considering the $16 price tag. My other quibble is that for a place with Bar in the title, there wasn't a huge choice of drinks.

Hubby chose a hot n spicy burger while I had the chilli dog; we shared onion rings and a bowl of poutine. I enjoyed my chilli dog which had chilli beef, guacamole and sour cream. It was good value for money; quite large and filling, but not a whole lot of chilli beef on it. The burger had a well-spiced and finely ground pattie (said hubby) which he really liked. My dog bun was soft with a crispy outside- juuust right (said Goldilocks). We both liked the poutine - thin fries with its gravy, cheese and bacon. And thank goodness, the batter on the onion rings was not sweet. It was a little thick but crunchy and delicious.

It was a very popular place on a Wednesday night; lots of families and small children which is a great thing in a family neighbourhood like Wilston. The space is welcoming as is the staff. You can get brekkie on weekends and you can enjoy all sorts of meat on your burgers, plus they have mac n cheese, bagels, share boards and the big guns like steak. As Glenys herself said you always have to tweak a bit at the start and I can see this being a very popular place, and a welcome addition to the Village.
