“it was mine and my girlfriends first time at a moxies restaurant. We had delicious food, it was a great atmosphere and music, and also had a great server named Ryan. One thing that I noticed was that he came to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was ok with our food, in which is not done at many other places. It showed that he cared about our experience and made it very pleasurable. His customer service was number 1.”

We had a shared the meat platter (for 2) between three people and had some left.

Decor is authentic and pleasant, service was quick.”

I will definitely be returning, and recommending this place to anyone in the Hamilton area!”
“At the st. Catharine’s location at the Pen Center. I’m here with my daughter. Had the wings and fries and the dessert Divide and conquer Belgian Waffle!

“My friend and I drove to B-Side Social from Niagara after winning a dozen free oysters and it did not disappoint! The oysters were so good we ordered an additional dozen along with the caprese salad and it was phenomenal! All of the staff was amazing.

“It is a very good Harveys. They let you put what you want and as much as you want on you sandwiches. That is not the case at some others.
They have plugs at tables to charge your phone or laptop, just not in the booths.
Staff is friendly and it is better then the one on upper james. I ask them to cook my burger on the grill longer and they do.
So unlike many fast food places they listen.
And they keep the place very promptly clean as well as the bathrooms.
You wouldn't think it for a place on Barton but they have good staff.
Atmosphere....well it is a fast food place so don't think upscale or niche lol”
“We've been buying shawarma from here for quite a few years. I have to say it's the best hidden gem around with the best shawarma. We've been buying from here for so long, he knows what we like on our shawarma now.......nice personal touch. The prices are reasonable and staff is friendly.......my fave for shawarma!! I recommend Phoenicia to all.....you won't be disappointed!!”
“Love the staff!! They are so polite and helpful. My coffees are always amazing and after coming here for months they know my order remember my face and know my name!! Most amazing Tim’s I have ever gone to!! Donna is amazing! Keep up the great work. Your teams are amazing”
“Navneet provides excellent customer service at Tim Hortons. She is always very polite, friendly, and welcoming. She treats customers with respect and makes sure they have a great experience. I really appreciate her positive attitude and helpful nature. Great service, Navneet!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“A few weeks ago, my wife and I visited Lakshmi Chowk BBQ & Karahi House for the first time. When we arrived, I asked the staff which dish they would recommend as their signature specialty. Their confident reply was, "Everything we make is special." That gave us the confidence to order their Mix Platter. The platter included 1 beef seekh kebab, 2 chicken seekh kebabs, 3 pieces of tandoori chicken tikka, 3 pieces of Lahori chicken tikka, 3 pieces of malai tikka, along with a freshly baked tandoori naan and a variety of sauces. After finishing the meal, I can honestly say they lived up to their claim. Every item on the platter was flavorful, freshly prepared, and cooked to perfection. Each type of kebab and tikka had its own distinct taste, making the platter an excellent way to experience a variety of their grilled specialties. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. A big compliment to the entire team—keep up the excellent work! My only suggestion is to continue maintaining this high level of quality and consistency. Standardizing great taste is one of the most important ingredients for long-term success in the restaurant business. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of the menu. Highly recommended!”
“Their desserts are delicious. They are the best in all of GTA. The tastiest 'zainud al-sitt' you can find is in Canada, along with the best baklava. The sweetness of the desserts is perfectly balanced—not too much. As for their service, it's excellent. The staff welcome you with a smile, offer you a piece of sweetness, and serve you quickly.”
“I can confidently say this was the best restaurant I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining in. It was amazing that every single dish was delicious - and the service - spectacular.”
“We highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent and friendly. If you would like authentic mexican food, Mesa is the place to go ito enjoy a nice meal and great service. The owner is a wonderful person who always makes sure that the clients are satisfied. They also have the best churros in town!”

“Tonight was our first time trying Golden Tenders. All I can say is OMG!!! I haven't had such delicious fresh chicken EVER from a restaurant. Thank you GoldenTenders!!! We are a family of 4 adults and were so impressed with the portion sizes. We will definitely be ordering from Golden Tenders again!”
“Hands down one of the best breakfast places I have discovered!! I had the brown butter apple crumble shortcake and let me tell you, it was unreal! The brown butter cream is made in house with the pancakes being super fluffy. A great combination overall. Had a chat with the owner and glad to hear that most items are made in house. Next time I am in Hamilton, I definitely know where to go for breakfast.”
“Banh mi here is top quality! The Saigon deluxe and lemongrass beef were both delicious choices. The bread was fresh with a great crunch, and the fresh toppings brought everything together nicely. Prices are pretty fair overall for how good the food is. My only minor wish is that they had a bench or somewhere to sit down and eat, but it is a great spot that we will definitely visit again.”
“When I found out about Indonesian’s Flavour I was a bit hesitant but I tried their food and was surprised and happy that I did not have to travel far such as to Mississauga or Toronto to eat satay , nasi goreng or rendang , etc . It is all in the Hammer /Farmer’s market . Hamilton is lucky to have Indonesian cuisine , which can come to you mild or really spicy . …You just have to ask . Now if we can only ask them to get a bigger restaurant with lots of chairs and tables for a truly good and yummy dining experience !”
“I don’t ever really write reviews on restaurants unless they are consistent with their food quality and standards. So with that being said, this is the third time I’ve ordered with Timmy’s and I definitely need to acknowledge this place. My husband and I order the same thing every time (we don’t really like change lol) and every single time with the two kebabs and rice it is ABSOLUTELY perfect. They don’t miss. The food that comes out of their kitchen is obviously made with love and care because they never let a bad plate go out. I’m not big on rice. At all. But this rice, I can eat all day, every day. They put a type of red sauce on it and a white sauce too. But it’s not what you think. It’s not the typical shawarma red and white sauce you get when you order a wrap or a plate. It’s savoury red sauce with tomatos and a little bit of kick. The white sauce seems yogurt based and it pairs absolutely perfect with the rice. And the rice, isn’t your typical white rice. It seems marinated in a way that is exploding with flavour just on its own. And don’t even get me started on the kebabs!!!! They’re juicy and big and packed full of flavour. And they give you two massive kebabs! TWO! This meal is not only filling but absolutely delicious and I’ve been addicted to Timmy’s Tanur since the moment I tried it the first time. Whether you’re dining in, taking out, using Uber eats or door dash, this restaurant will NEVER disappoint. They even throw in a delicious pita to make sure you’re full! Absolutely wonderful! I recommend this place to everyone and anyone!!!”
“Ordered for the first time tonight. Put in the order online. We were blown away before the food even arrived by the customer service we received. The staff went above and beyond by calling us not once, but twice to clarify some details of our order (I was not clear, it was totally on me). The woman on the phone was friendly, and helpful with a great vibe! The pizza and wings arrived hot and fresh. Everything is delicious. The Buffalo sauce is nothing short of addictive (I would drink it if I could it's so tasty). We will definitely order again. This has been bumped to the number one spot for fav pizza!”
“I’ve been going to MySweeTooth for almost a year now. They have a variety of drinks and pastries. I have to say not everything on the menu is my taste, but I’ve still always enjoyed my experience there. The owners are so nice! And I always feel like a valued customer when I am there. Some of my favourites are there Mango Slushy with Coconut Cream Jelly or Ice Cream and their Hot Dog milk buns. Just this week I finally had the chance to try their fresh Strawberry and Mango mochi, WOW! I think the thickness of the mochi really complements the cream inside well. Even if you only have the chance to go their once, it’s defiantly worth it.”

“Stopped by yesterday for lunch! Shared the fish tacos and duck wings- fantastic! Great beer selection and great staff! Thanks for the delicious grub!”
“The food was fantastic! Service was as well. Very informed and polite! Terrific lunch date! Much appreciated recommendation from my daughter in law !!!
If I could post the pics of our lunch I would because it was that great, but my fault I’m a little unsavvy when it comes to that! lol”
“Upscale breakfast selections wuth great coffee. Our waitress seemed to really want to be somewhere else. She didnt check on us so for coffee refils or ordering more as well as getting the bill we needed to make attempts to get her attention. The food and coffee were delicious.”
“I don’t usually write reviews about places, but my friend & I decided to come here for something light after our little adventure around hamilton. It was my first time trying this place & absolutely loved it. We ordered the calamari & tacos which were divine. All the flavours were there. We didn’t order anything with alcohol in it, but the drinks we had were still good too! I don’t wanna say her name out of respect (starts with a J), but our waitress was also super friendly & has good banter! Overall, it was a great experience & I’ll definitely be coming back 😌”
“One of my favourite restaurant. top notch service and taste. must try.”
“brady was fantastic :) very friendly and helpful with all of our questions, checked in on us multiple times throughout the meal, and stayed on top of our refills before we even had to ask! thank you so much for such a great experience🤍”
“I’ve visited countless ramen spots across Japan and Canada, and this one easily takes the top spot! You can taste the fresh, high-quality ingredients in every single bite. A huge compliment to the chef—their mastery of the craft and attention to detail really shine through in the bowl. On top of the incredible flavor, the portions are generous and very reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit!”
“This cozy restaurant has left the best impression. Came for a romantic date night after a friend recommended it. Great atmosphere, excellent service (Dan was amazing), delicious dishes and drinks, and wonderful dessert. I highly recommend and will be returning again.”
“Great ambience, great food and amazing service, drinks out of this world!!! I highly recommend this place to everyone!”
“Crooksy’s is a true gem. Everything you could want from a neighbourhood pub. Great food, incredible prices (especially if you stick to weekly specials), fun and quality staff. Crooksy’s is the kind of place you can walk into by yourself and walk out with 3 new friends. If you haven’t tried the wings, you should!!”
“Just wanted to give a shout out to Johnny. On Friday 1-16-26 my silver ladys had the experiece of having Johnny as our server. What an amazing young man. Very personable attentive to our needs and conversed in our conversation when we asked about life and dreams..Excellant server”
“Undefined is a true gem in downtown Hamilton! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming staff made us feel at home. Mary Karger, the General Manager, sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Chef Chris and Sous Chef Bryant's culinary expertise shines through in every dish. And Amanda, our bartender, crafted cocktails with fresh, high-quality ingredients that were simply delightful. The menu boasts diverse, locally sourced, and seasonal offerings that cater to various tastes. We loved the share plates, particularly the Whipped Feta & Roasted Plum and "Pad Thai" Fries. Each bite was a masterclass in flavours and textures. The Daily Oysters were expertly prepared, with a perfect balance of horseradish, Sriracha, and rhubarb-cucumber mignonette. Presentation was stunning, and the taste profiles matched the descriptions precisely. Whether you're dining solo, on a date, or with friends before a show, Undefined is the perfect spot. Its premium downtown location makes it easily accessible to many amenities. Kudos to the entire team – 5 stars well-deserved! We'll be back soon.”
“Best patio during warmer weather and best food! Great vibe always.”
“I took my wife there for her 55 birthday. The food was amazing our server Jose was very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for an elegant dining experience.”
“Recommended by ChatGPT. We are visiting and wanted authentic fresh Italian. When we arrived it was very quiet, we were the only ones. We weren’t sure but we waited and were greeted by a friendly gentleman who was the owner.
I very much wanted authentic veal in lemon and caper sauce. It wasn’t on the menu but he said he would make it for me. My husband had the shrimp Alfredo.
We didn’t know what to expect but to our delight, his food was exactly what we wanted. To start he made us fresh pizza bread that was devine. Fresh homemade pasta and gnocchi in beautiful fresh sauces. My lemon veal with the homemade butter, lemon, caper sauce was superb!
I would definitely recommend this restaurant.”
“Freaking amazing pizza - my daughter and I came here to try the pizza and we were blown away. We had a couple of drinks and the bee sting pizza and the meat mountain pizza, both were fantastic, and the crust - oh my god - they get their wheat from some specialty place. They also have gluten free options I saw but I have not tried that. The staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. It was nice to see staff that cared. I wish I could remember the server's name to give them credit.”
“Went there this evening to give it a try, service was prompt, and very courteous. The Food was very good, and I definitely reccomend it.”
“My wife and I just ate at the Ancaster Monfort Grill House twice this weekend! They were superb! The Lamb Shishlick was incredible…the sides and pita was some of the best I’ve ever had! Our waitress was absolutely amazing and so friendly , we wish we didn’t live 18 hours away because we would eat here very often! Signed Steve and Marnie of Garden Steele Away!”
“Fabulous Thursday vibe night of wine and sharables! Great music, atmosphere and the brussel sprouts were the star!!”
“Excellent service, and excellent food. We stayed at c hotel to celebrate our anniversary as we got married there years ago and wanted to return to celebrate. We ate at Baci for the first time last night and we had the pepperoni and margarita pizza. Honestly it’s some of the best pizza I may have ever had. It had the taste of Neapolitan pizza but without the flop. It was nice and crispy with a beautiful char flavour, loaded with pepperoni and cheese. I can’t wait to come back to eat again, thanks for a great dinner!”
“As the biggest of karaoke enthusiasts, my partner and I checked out Dat Cang Karaoke on Concession, for our date night out. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves singing karaoke to our hearts content. The staff was lovely and courteous, quick to respond to needs, and curious about our feedback as they are newly open and licensed. They also let us know that this was the first Wednesday night open for karaoke so it was especially nice to sneak in unanticipated and the only singers in the club. We both were impressed with their host system, sound quality, and especially stage lighting - it felt welcoming to sing in a space built with obvious care. There's plenty of comfortable seating arranged in groupings that enable you to sing from your seat or take the stage if desired. We did both and enjoyed the comfort of feeling like singing at home but in a lovely and well-tended space. The karaoke system is far superior to most currently used in North America. having myself been a karaoke host and a world champion of karaoke competition, I feel confident in saying that this is a program that is far more accessible to worldwide karaoke options in multiple no languages. I was really impressed with its accessibility and performance and also impressed with the sound quality which was definitely above standard. Both of us look forward to coming back again and with some friends for many fun nights of karaoke to come! Thank you for listening to us!! 🎶🎤”
“Food was very subpar. the garlic loaf was cold, the soup luke warm, and the chicken fingers for $21 were coated in an oil based sauce that you could not see or taste. Asked for sauce to dip and it was mostly oil mixed with a hot sauce. Yellow Currie was ok but very bland in taste. stack quesadilla was luke warm did not come with sour crème or pico de gala. it had been a long time since we had been here and it looks like it will be even longer before we ever go back. I can say that the servers were pleasant and apologetic for what came out of the kitchen.”
“Always great food, drinks and service! Some of my favourite beers are brewed by these fine folks.”
“Absolutely amazing, my husband and I only recently came across Sasso and decided to give it a try, we were very impressed. From the staff to the food and everything in between we have had nothing but an exceptional experience, however it helps that our server Erika is beyond amazing at her job and is really one of the best servers we’ve ever had.”
“🪴All of the plants with great indoor and outdoor seating and open air in ”fairweather”! 💚 Jen behind the bar was super friendly and welcoming. 🍺 Garden Grave is the most delicious beer that I've had in a long time! ✅ Vibe check… passed! 🍻🍭 Two Hops Up… you should drink here!”
“Amazing place! Exceptional food, service and atmosphere. Seafood platter was probably the best I've ever had. Ceasar Salad was great as well.
Definitely going to be my local!”
“I have been to Shy’s twice and have to say they have not disappointed, Our waitress was lovely tonight. if only I could remember her name! Food was fantastic mmmmmmmmmm, recommend you visit Shy’s”
“You can play the song “boys” by Charli XCX on repeat and no one will kick you out. The owner won’t be happy about it, but you won’t get kicked out. Also, wings are fire.”
“Had a great time here a few days ago. It gives you genuine pub atmosphere, down to the furniture and eclectic decor up on the walls. I also loved the local zines that were free to take on your table! I got a Reuben and a porter, it was delicious. Will definitely be back, so grateful to have a plant based pub in my neighbourhood!”
“The services were amazing and the manager came to our table to say hi and make sure we were happy. Such a good chicken sandwich wow”
“Hands down the best restaurant i've been to, not only is the menu extremely extensive but you cook everything yourself to your own preference...”
“So good!! Had the lobster roll, shrimp and thr NS cod, soo delicious!”
“Had the pleasure of dining here with friends this past weekend. The restaurant is located in a trendy area with lots of food traffic. Restaurant itself is compact but serves its purpose and also has a covered outdoor dining section. It was loud but we could still have conversations. Staff were lovely.
We had cocktails, beers and a margherita pizza as an appi. So so good. For the main we had flat iron steal/rapini and smash burgs and fries. Everything was delicious. Drinks were so good. For dessert we had the Creme Brulee which was delicious. A DJ started a set around 10. Place was sill busy when we left. What a fabulous experience! Would definitely recommend and go again. This is our new fav place.”
“I love this place! I go here every time for their Ramen because it is so relaxing and delicious. The owners are so nice and kind. I highly recommend you give Shiro Ramen a try!”
“1st time there since 2019. Our server (Kaylie?) was attentive, sweet and friendly. The white wine sangria was to die for!!! I'll be back.”
“This place is a MUST ! The food, the quality of the food , the portions and most importantly the staff is amazing! Our family continues to make this place a go to atleast once a month since our first visit.”
“Layal and team, I can't thank you enough for the impeccable and friendly service that you and your team provided to my daughter's wedding. The food was amazing... in fact, several people commented to me that it was the best food that they had ever been served at a wedding. I couldn't agree more! As someone whose career took her to many rubber chicken dinner events, I know how remarkable it is to be served really good food at a large banquet....and it is even more remarkable that you were able to do this in the middle of a major snowstorm. As the mother of the bride, I really appreciated the warmth and friendly consideration that you showed to my daughter both in the planning and delivery of her wedding meal. You are five-star in my book!!”
“Apparently this place existed when I was studying at mac 2007-2011 and I never visited. Better late than never! Great options and vibe is good. Portions are great too, would come again if I'm nearby”
“Had wings and beer today ...Delicious , great prices and cold beer. Our waitress Kat was very friendly and awesome. I will be back !!!!!”
“Lovely little spot on Barton E, close to hospital. Alice was wonderful making sure we were happy with our beverages and meal. We splurged and had the steak and eggs. Soooooo good. The cafe is on the pricey side but the food is excellent. Will go again for sure.”
“Everything about this place is wonderful. The atmosphere, the food, the prices and service are all 10/10. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve been wanting to try Bernie’s for sometime now and I’m sure glad I got to today. The ambiance was a delight, the kitchen was busy with takeaway orders right when they opened and the bartender was nice. My pint of beer was nice and cold and my club sandwich was over the top awesome and left me feeling full. My girlfriend enjoyed the burger — which the beef patty looked house made- and my Caesar salad was made with fresh crunchy lettuce! We’ll definitely be back for more! Cheers!”
“The best! Atmosphere, staff, menu, clientele… everything is always wonderful.”
“We went there tonight celebrating David's birthday. It was a wonderful evening with great food and service. Emma did a great job tonight as our waitress. The new owner Patrick was stopping at each table introducing himself and making sure everything was fine. The restaurant was packed and staff were zipping around making sure everything moved smoothly. we will be back !”

“The food was good very filling! The fried raviolis were amazing!
Just wish the apps that I had ordered as my meal would have come out with my husband's meal. I was eating before him.”
“My friend brought me here to try their mango slushie and oh my gosh so delicious! I ended up getting the mango coconut one. Real chunks of mango in it, very creamy smooth so delicious! It's a meal in itself. He bought me the large and I couldn't finish it. It also comes with an actual popsicle in it. They have quite a huge menu too so I'll have to come back soon to try something different. I thoroughly enjoyed my mango coconut slushie! I regret I didn't take a photo but I will next time and update my review 👍👍”
“This is the best Thai food I’ve had besides when I was actually in Thailand. we went with a group for a birthday party a couple of weeks ago and we were all blown away by the delicious food.

Thank you so much Trent and the team that helped us bring this into a reality! Highly recommend squires for a quick drink, lunch/dinner and especially party’s! Squires never disappoints, Thanks again!”

“We expected a party of approx 20 people on Jan 24/26 but due to the weather we had 3 people that flew out early from Pearson to Logan Airport and around 4 went home immediaely after the 'due' because they were from out of town. That left 13 of us. Since we had reserved, we still had a round table for 13 in the back of the restaurant. We decided to go with a family style format and actually ordered way too much food. The portions were large and tasty, from the egg rolls + spring rolls to a variety of dishes that satisfied everyone. We were extremely well looked after despite the restaurant getting busier. We were happy to see other parties in and out as January is very slow in the restaurant business. I dealt with someone on 3 occasions before we arrived and he assured me he woud make our dinner worth while. And he did. We ended up with one extra at the table designated for a comfortable 12 and that was okay. We also had our beloved SIL in a wheelchair to boot. We thought that would not be possible when we were expecting 20. Needles to say, we were not rushed, our food was excellent, we had good conversation around a round table and to add,.....it was a great experience. If ANYTHING, the room we were in could actual benefit from adding material or whatever on the walls, ceiling in order to cut way back on the noise. The table for 12 was far better than having 13 seated in a long table but noise barriers would help 100%. Thank you DRAGON COURT for an excellent experience You were recommeded by one of the folks who was at our table and did not disappoint.”
“Just wanted to give a shout out to Johnny. On Friday 1-16-26 my silver ladys had the experiece of having Johnny as our server. What an amazing young man. Very personable attentive to our needs and conversed in our conversation when we asked about life and dreams..Excellant server”
“Went for dinner tonight with a good friend who had never been to Rise Above Pizza and Wings before, so we tried a little bit of everything. Sweet potato fries and the delicious sesame slaw paired with an order of wings in two flavours (maple garlic and Sriracha lime, yum!), plus the Carbonara Pizza at the recommendation of Spencer, our server. Every bite of the meal was amazing, especially the crispy texture of the wings and the creamy balance of the pizza sauce. Spencer took the whole experience to the next level though with their sparkling energy, attentiveness and friendliness from our entry all the way to perfectly divided bills at the end. The food was amazing and the service took the whole experience to the next level - can't wait to come back!”
“The restaurant is getting better has time goes.”
“stopped by Tony's Corner to pick up a salad to go with dinner which I do often. I was served by 2 of the nicest young men, really sweet. Asked about my day. Made my salad exactly to order. The food is always outstanding and I just wanted to recognize the service as such. Good Job Gentlemen.”
“A few weeks ago, my wife and I visited Lakshmi Chowk BBQ & Karahi House for the first time. When we arrived, I asked the staff which dish they would recommend as their signature specialty. Their confident reply was, "Everything we make is special." That gave us the confidence to order their Mix Platter. The platter included 1 beef seekh kebab, 2 chicken seekh kebabs, 3 pieces of tandoori chicken tikka, 3 pieces of Lahori chicken tikka, 3 pieces of malai tikka, along with a freshly baked tandoori naan and a variety of sauces. After finishing the meal, I can honestly say they lived up to their claim. Every item on the platter was flavorful, freshly prepared, and cooked to perfection. Each type of kebab and tikka had its own distinct taste, making the platter an excellent way to experience a variety of their grilled specialties. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. A big compliment to the entire team—keep up the excellent work! My only suggestion is to continue maintaining this high level of quality and consistency. Standardizing great taste is one of the most important ingredients for long-term success in the restaurant business. We'll definitely be back and look forward to trying more of the menu. Highly recommended!”
“We went there tonight celebrating David's birthday. It was a wonderful evening with great food and service. Emma did a great job tonight as our waitress. The new owner Patrick was stopping at each table introducing himself and making sure everything was fine. The restaurant was packed and staff were zipping around making sure everything moved smoothly. we will be back !”
“This review for Annalakshmi restaurant on Main West is mainly for non-Indian patrons simply because I cannot presume to know enough about Indian cuisine and completely appreciate the nuance of their cooking. However, that said, I know my own palette and I’ll say with conviction the Butter Garlic Masala Dosa I had was fantastic! The taste was wonderfully garlicky and the sauces a great compliment. The other dish I tried was an appetizer Medhu Vada Plate which consisted of four lentil “donuts” with a dipping sauce that could have easily been its own soup it was so delicious. Highly recommended, 100% vegetarian. If there were any negatives depending on your preference in Indian Food, there is a lot of deep-fried selections, lots of bread in various forms and no meat. Take your time with the menu and ask your server questions because between the above mentioned items is a lot of tasty gems!”
“Great all around! For a few years now Ive lived less than a block away but, living just off Locke and it's wealth of restaurants, I hadnt tried Aroma until this summer. The food, service and atmosphere, in and outside, was so good that I went back with friends the next day! (Check out the party space out back!)”

“We had Hutches on the Beach yesterday for Good Friday and I recommend 10/10! With it being their busiest day of the year we still got our food hot and fresh, it was delicious and reasonably priced for 3 adults to each have a meal and be stuffed afterwards. The restaurant was clean and tidy and wow the employees are such hard workers! Krystle served us and she was very kind and pleasant to talk to, she was fast and efficient at doing her tasks. Kudos to your whole team! Can't wait to come back again.”
“At the st. Catharine’s location at the Pen Center. I’m here with my daughter. Had the wings and fries and the dessert Divide and conquer Belgian Waffle! The service is amazing but it’s a large place so we did approach the counter right away. It’s beautiful and clean. So many delicious things on the menu to choose! I highly recommend it!”
“I don't usually leave reviews but I just wanted to comment on the amazing service I always receive when coming into Kelsey's. I am made to feel welcome and service is fast and accommodating. Cailen and Emily always make delicious drinks as well as provide fantastic recommendations! I look forward to coming back and hopefully being served by them again!”
“It was great till a typical selfish mother and daughter came to join people on the patio and decide every one needed to listen to their rap music blaring out of their phone. So rude and inconsiderate. But Williams itself is great, fantastic location and usually one of my favorite places to visit in Hamilton.”
“Had such a great experience with Alicia today. She was very fast, polite, and kept up to our needs throughout our entire visit. She was also very friendly and welcoming. The service definitely made our experience even better. I’ll definitely be returning and would recommend asking for Alicia! 😊”

“Had to try Bonito's with my lady. We tried different pizza's so we can share and all I can say is, once you try the awesome goodness of true Italian flavor, you will be going back. Oh and don't forget the Gelato. All exquisite!”
“Upscale breakfast selections wuth great coffee. Our waitress seemed to really want to be somewhere else. She didnt check on us so for coffee refils or ordering more as well as getting the bill we needed to make attempts to get her attention. The food and coffee were delicious.”
“Great restaurant for a quick bite. The prices could be better but they're reasonable considering there's no other plcaes in Hamilton serving pani puri like them.”

“Food was very decent. We had the Wag Jag deal $79/2ppl. Sushi was nice with good sushi rice. Stir fried rice was nice side dish for the protein, but not a lot of seasoning on the rice for that reason. Then they cook the scallops, lobster, chicken and steak right in front of you. Nice service as well.”

“Amazing dining experience! Two people, lunch buffet. Upper James, Hamilton, ON. CAD $26, plus a senior's discount of 20%. Great value. Wonderful selections of appetizers, entrees, and desserts, including sushi and sashimi. Great taste. Great service. Hot hand towels before and after the meal is a nice touch. Clean washrooms. Can't beat the Mandarin restaurant for an overall great dining experience.”
