At Novas, every plate carries the depth of 14-hour smoked brisket and the heat of our house-made chipotle rub. Two traditions, one uncompromising flavor.

Hours Low & Slow
Novas Tex-Mex Fusion BBQ started the way most honest kitchens do — with a disagreement about what makes a meal unforgettable. One side swore by low-and-slow Texas brisket. The other insisted no meal was complete without a proper hit of chipotle and lime.
We stopped arguing around batch #47. The result is a menu where smoke and spice don't compete — they complete each other. Every dish here carries both traditions equally, because neither one works without the other.
Located in Del Valle, just east of Austin, we built Novas for people who refuse to pick a lane. You don't have to choose between the smoker and the sizzle. At our table, both show up.

Cuisines, One Plate
Novas is built for people who slow down for a meal — and for those who show up hungry and stay for the conversation.
Nothing leaves our kitchen on a hurry. Every protein is smoked to tender, every sauce is reduced until it earns its place on the plate.
We source from Central Texas farms and markets. The cilantro, the chiles, the beef — most of it hasn't traveled farther than the next county over.
Long tables, low lighting, and a menu designed for sharing. Novas is where you bring the people you want to feed — not just the ones you want to feed yourself.
