    Amazing service and yummy food. Great atmosphere! The burnt brisket ends were too good! Love the brisket and chicken the most. Ham was ok, I kinda was expecting a thicker cut. Pulled pork was good. Fries and the chips were really tasty. Cocktails were delicious. Can't wait to come back. Parking is really weird. So try and get the front of the building spots because the sides have some weird hours that make zero sense. That's not their fault obvi.

    The Christmas decs ROCK!!! Love the lights & covers on all the chais, truly the Xmas spirit!! Oh yeah, we also had a delicious lunch...,burnt ends as app (spectacular & love the chips under)...and then for me the smoked brisket sandwich - it was fantastic- great bun, excellent sauce (not too hot or too sweet) and lots of brisket. I enjoyed the fries also, but I was stuffed by the end. My compatriots had the burger (delicious) & the brisket and two (and he took home half). Second time I have "convenience fee" of 3%....not sure what it's for...our server didn't mention it, and I don't appreciate it. A+ for service & the beer selection. Also loved all the tvs for sports & the cozy atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.

    Smoked Cubano (tasty) and Mac n cheese (kinda bland)
    Bertha C.

    First time here and it was good! My husband ordered the smoked Cubano and Mac and cheese and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings. He loved his sandwich and said the Mac n cheese was just alright. Similar experience for me as I loved my sandwich but the onion rings had a funny aftertaste. The pulled pork was tender and delicious. It's a cute place with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was also good. The only downside was cleanliness.. I know kids can be messy but being brought a hi chair with tacked on food gunk was gross. I tried wiping it with the napkin and the gunk just wasn't coming off. We had to hold our baby during our meal because there was no way I was about to sit him in that.

    Love their brunch! Come here semi regularly, super fun and always delicious. Solid service

    Smoked Brisket with fantastic pickles
    Karen S.

    Its more like a bar than a restaurant. Super noisy, not very relaxing. You have to yell to have a conversation. We asked about the rotating beers and I selected one. Our waitress turned around and left without taking my husband's drink order. We looked at each other in disbelief. She came back about 5 minutes later to tell me they didn't have that beer after all and then she asked my husband if he wanted something to drink. The food was okay. We both had the brisket sandwich. The meat was tender, but not very flavorful, and not much smoke flavor. After adding the pickles (these are outstanding) that come with it and the sauce (a Carolina style) the sandwich was good. But it could have come out of the oven. I had the Caesar salad as my side. It was huge and very good. Do yourself a favor and ask for extra dressing at the start. The dressing was very good. My husband had the tater tots and those were great too. For me, this is more of a place to stop for a drink, or maybe watch a football game.

    Smoked Cubano

    For bar food the quality of meat was very unexpected and it's because they age their meats and smoke them to prepare your meal. It was packed when we got there for dinner and a little loud but not to the point that we had to yell to converse. It is a bar restaurant so it's what you expect with a lot of high chairs and tables, a bar and tvs. The service was ok. Our waiter took our order and the meal came out pretty fast but he was not very attentive to refilling our drinks. But still not bad service. I ordered the half chicken and they really give you a half of a chicken. It was so tender in the inside with very good flavor. I also got 2 sides so I chose their onion rings and sweet potato fries, both were very good as well. My buddy got the cubano with tots and let me taste. I've been to many Cuban restaurants but this was one of the best cubanos I've tasted. The smoked ham makes a difference and they added more lemon to have a more distinct taste. Prices were just a tad higher than normal but still not bad considering the awesome fast fresh smoked tasty meal you get. I came out of the restaurant feeling full so I was definitely content. Oh and they have a bunch of draft beers to choose.

    Thank you to Lauren and the catering team for a wonderful graduation celebration. The food arrived on time and they helped to get everything set up. Our guests all loved the food!! We would definitely recommend Noble House for your next backyard celebration!

    2 meat, 2 sides dinner.  Brisket, Pork, m/c & onion rings.
    Pablo M.

    We tried Noble House for the first time based on the high scoring yelp reviews and we were extremely disappointed! There were only two positives about our experience; Kim who waited on us was very good and the smoked chicken wings. One note about the wings, nice flavor but if you prefer your wings spicy none of their sauces have heat. My wife ordered the chopped salad which came with smoked chopped chicken. The salad greens were average but the unacceptable thing was she found one bone and one piece of gristle in her chopped chicken. I ordered the 2 meat/2 sides dinner. I chose brisket, pulled pork, mac & cheese and onion rings. The smoked brisket had an off taste to it. Almost like the meat was on the verge of being spoiled. The M/C was subpar. The pulled pork was tender but didn't have much flavor. The best part of the dinner was the onion rings. I mentioned my concern about the brisket to Kim and she brought me Turkey but it wasn't any good either. She did remove the charge for the salad after seeing the bone and gristle. However, the bill was still $68 and the food was terrible! Obviously DO NOT waste your money or time at Noble House!!!

    Geneva Mule And Build Your Own Bowls
    Steve A.

    Hanging out on a recent evening, we checked out this nice but expensive bar and grill. It was a pretty sweet place except for the high prices on most stuff and the lack of affordable vegetarian items. Nobel House has a couple locations with this one being in Geneva in downtown where most stuff is going on. Gets pretty busy but it's never been anything crazy. They have pretty expensive food but rather than being upscale, it feels more like a casual sports bar than anything fancy. First thing we got were the drinks. It had some interesting ones except for the high prices. They have a quite limited happy hour and not that many things on either the drink or food menus are on special. Knowing this, it took awhile to choose something, and then we got the cheapest stuff that also sounded good. There was limited choices for sure. I had a Geneva Mule. It's $10 for a cocktail that comes in a typical copper mug, which was kind of a lot but still pretty good though. This is made with Tito's Vodka, and has ginger beer, ginger liqueur, and lime like a typical version. It surely wasn't bad tasting. She had some kind of wine. For the food I suggested getting the Build Your Own Bowls. It's $16 each. These have a choice of meat or vegetables, and a choice of a sauce. Each of us got it with vegetables and the adobo lime. Fairly good except there could have been more, especially for how much these cost, which is a lot. They also have veggie burgers but veganness is questionable and they're also expensive so we passed on these. Good things to drink and eat. It's fine on an occasional visit but unfortunately it's not a regular place with these high prices. There's another location in Glen Ellyn so go there if you're over there or wherever.

I informed our server that I have celiac disease, and she was helpful in confirming that the cocktails were gluten-free. I ordered the Pineapple Express sangria, and it was absolutely delicious. When it comes to the food, most items on the menu can actually be made gluten-free, but they aren't marked on the menu and they do not offer a separate gluten-free menu. Our server did let us know right away that they were out of three of their entree items. For my meal, I started with the gluten-free soup which comes with gluten-free noodles, and it was really good. However, I didn't really like any of the remaining entrees they had left available, so I decided to order sides instead. The server mentioned that most of the sides are or can be made gluten-free. I chose the creamy mashed potatoes and the brussel sprouts, specifically requesting the sprouts without croutons. When the food arrived, the brussel sprouts unfortunately had croutons on them. I pointed it out to the server, and she immediately said she would have them remade for me. While I am very glad I caught the mistake before eating them, it is something to watch out for. Overall, the experience was mediocre.

The Birria egg rolls were a bit on the smaller side but made a big impression with its preparation. I've never had birria wrapped in anything as crispy as the wonton wrapper this was wrapped in. The birria was flavorful while being tender and not being too salty. The white cheddar and chihuahua cheese added a small amount of extra saltiness and a bit more fat, which matched well with the chipotle aiola. The duck poutine was incredibly flavorful, while sitting on the edge of potentially being too bold. The fries were incredibly crispy though there was quite a bit of gravy on the dish and the white cheddar cheese curds did a great job of keeping the entire dish hot throughout the meal, while adding a little bit of extra flavor. The bacon and onion added some umami though it almost made the dish a bit too salty and the duck confit added a nice protein element. Overall a little pricey, but given the more unique menu and quality of both the flavors and textures, it's worth the premium. The food here is definitely memorable and in line with excellent options available in Geneva.
