I've never been to Mason-Dixon before. I walked in to the quaintest little spot on Preston Street last night. I was greeted with a huge smile from the friendly and personable wait staff. I ordered a Mason-Dixon Burger and a surprise bourbon cocktail. The owner/chef makes an amazing, juicy, to die for burger that I'll have a hard time passing up next time I'm there. But, I've gotta try the cauliflower 3 ways!! Although this is a tiny, cozy venue the food boasts huge flavours! And that cocktail, well it tasted like more. See you soon Mason-Dixon! Your my new spot!!!
The brisket and fries are to die for. Highly recommend a visit
The brisket here is AMAZING and we absolutely love the mushroom appetizer! The best date night spot on Preston!
This is hands down my favourite restaurant. My partner and I live in Little Italy and try to visit Mason Dixon at least once a month (sometimes more!) for their amazing BBQ and great service. I always end up ordering the burger and fries (and the blue bourbon lemonade), and my partner gets the ribs, but truly, everything we've tried from their menu is fantastic. It's always great to see the same staff/owners there every time we go; it really feels like a neighbourhood joint.
Stopped in on the spur of a moment early on a Tuesday evening. It wasn't busy, the service was great and we both thought the food was excellent; my wife had the brisket sandwich and fries, and I had the fried chicken and waffles. The drink special that evening was unbelievable ($4 for anything from the bar rail). Definitely want to return!
The brisket is amazing. Can't wait to make my way through the rest of the menu!
The food was super amazing! Chef Henry has awesome creations and the staff were gee entertaining!
Staff was friendly and funny, service was quick, food was amazing! And drinks were on point! Can't wait to go back
After hearing so much about this restaurant, we went there to celebrate a special birthday. There were 10 of us with different taste and different appetite. Each of us loved their meal and we were very impressed with the service. We had a bottle of wine and few drinks and the bill was very reasonable. We will definitely go back.
I have been to Mason Dixon twice, and both experiences were beyond amazing. The food is fantastic, the service is fantastic - highly recommend this to anyone looking to fill their bellies!
Great staff; warm, cool, knowledgeable and super friendly. Atmosphere; also warm, cool and inviting. Food; southern comfort, delicious!!! Best deep fried chicken in Ottawa! Go! Bring your friends, Enjoy!
Incredible food, delicious cocktails, and super friendly staff. Everything here was perfect.
In just few words... Uncomplicated tasteful southern style food with absolutely great service. Congratulations.
I came in on a friday, beautiful atmosphere, amazing staff, and that brisket...fucking delicious. Come here, eat and drink your guts out, totally worth every effort/penny.
Had not had an opportunity to eat here before since they use to only open after 5. Walked by one day and day they were open for lunch, so a bunch of us decided to go in and check it out. We were quite glad we did. Service was very good food was great. A cool atmosphere and soundtrack made it all right :)
Everyone was pleased with their meals, definitely worth checking out! (Especially while they are open for lunch and the crowds haven't figured it out yet)
Southern fried goodness! Well done, Henry! And thank you Casey! Will definitely recommend this to all-- amazing birthday dinner experience with the family.

This is a fantastic little place, the 4 stars is not a reflection of the quality of food but rather a few things that I will mention.
On looking at the menu mine seemed overly simple. As it turned out I was missing multiple pages. I picked up my daughters menu and here too was missing pages. My wife's menu was the most complete, but was is complete, we don't know.
This is a very small restaurant. It was empty when we got there so it was very comfortable and relaxed. Due to the size and close proximity of tables I would personally be uncomfortable here on a busy night especially of there was a table of loud obnoxious people and there usually is that one table who is disrespectfully of the other patrons.
A genaral note about beer menus, that includes this place but almost all places. It is time to identify the beer styles on the menu. I want to know without asking if I am ordering an IPA, lager, ale etc. With so many craft and micro beer available it is time to do them justice with a proper menu.
Just to be clear the food was fantastic, the service was fast, friendly, and over all fantastic.
Delicious! Fried chicken sandwich was perfect, fries were excellent. Friendly staff. Thank you!
Amazing foods! We had really good time here.. plus really good service! You won’t be disappointed..
It's a really nice place. The decor suits the restaurant and the food is amazing. Its real southern BBQ and they do it well. They also have a really good hot sauce just watch out because they don't lie about how spicy it is. Fairly pricy but so worth it. Check out their beer selection too as they have some really good options.
Quick service. Mason-Dixon burger was delicious with a juicy patty and crunchy bacon. The housemade hot sauce was also fantastic!
A solid 4 🌟 choice. My friend and i really enjoyed everything we ordered. If you're looking for a low carb, high protein fix get the 1/2 platter of meat with the salad. It's meant for 2 but you'll get full and have leftovers.
Amazing service along with very nice cocktails. I'm surprised this place wasn't full. Atmosphere and food was perfect. Highly recommend!
The food was delicious and fairly priced. We ordered the pick 3 option which was WAY too much food for 2 people to handle (to be fair, the server did warn us beforehand but we went for it anyway). The fried chicken is beautifully battered and perfectly crunchy and comes with a warm maple syrup that I wanted to dip straight from the pot. The brisket was also delicious and nicely seasoned. I didnt try the beef ribs but my boyfriend really enjoyed them. The fries are really good too! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. It is a small restaurant so I recommend making a reservation if you plan to eat during the dinner rush. We went in at around 8pm on a Friday night and were able to get a table. Overall great good and great experience. We will definitely be dining here again.
