“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 went out on a date for the first time in ages without our kids. Me and my wife both found the service from Liam (our waiter) was absolutely phenomenal. We never were in want or need of anything. His demeanor, humor, and personality made our meal even more enjoyable.”

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.

“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!”

“my friend & i visited last night - we thoroughly enjoyed our experience!
Leanne provided excellent service despite working solo in a full-house on a very busy monday evening.
at first she politely expressed reluctance to seat us & honest concern we may experience lengthy wait time but, she so very graciously allowed us to seat ourselves on the patio where my friend & i more than happily entertained ourselves in conversation.
our experience was well worth the wait.
dinner was delicious! i had the trout & prosecco and my friend had chicken & paloma cocktail. both dishes were beautifully plated and perfect in flavour - i highly recommend the trout w capers to other future diners.
Leanne was lovely and we enjoyed chatting with her at the end of our meal.
kudos to you, Leanne! we look forward to returning again :)
Thank-you, from Barbie & Lorraine”
“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. The owner (I think) or at least the GM came and chatted with us a few times, she had great energy! Our server Autumn was super cute and did a bang up job! Will def recommend and return!”
“The food was delicious. The naan was the best I have eaten in North America. It was perfect”
“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 !”
“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”
“Very good food, portions were a great size, and good beer on draught. The restaurant is decorated really nicely and the atmosphere is great, our waitress was very nice and service was quick. Highly recommend. We ordered the platter for 2 with a side of pita with cream cheese and the cucumber and cheese salad and it was all very delicious”
“One of my favourite restaurant. top notch service and taste. must try.”

“For fast food this was really good. The meals were very tasty and well priced. Their smoothie machine was down and I didn't know to ask for ice in our soda. We ended up with too many fries but I enjoyed the poutine very much. I'd do drive through or pickup, the inside is not the nicest. Staff were pleasant and helpful.”
“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”
“I used to visit TH in there everyday. I'd love to send a huge thanx for Jenn and Also, I would like to extend a huge thank you to the female customer service representative working the night shift today, whose name unfortunately I do not know. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and professional. I truly appreciate their support.”
“This location is 5/5. I’m surprised at the other reviews, honestly. I’m sure sometimes bad things happen but I’ve lived close to this place for 3 years and have been going here 2-3x/week and my order has always been correct, “fresh” (lol for Tims) and service has been excellent. I actually make it a point to not go to other locations anymore because I know how inconsistent Tims can be. I hope the owner continues to do whatever they’re doing and celebrate the managers who’ve made this possible. I don’t know any of the staff names and I’ve been served by many of them and they’ve all been consistently amazing.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had an amazing experience at this Tim Hortons! The staff here truly go above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and a welcoming attitude that really stood out.
The customer service is exceptional—orders are taken quickly and accurately, and the team is always patient, polite, and happy to help with any requests. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work.
Even during busy times, the staff stays organized and keeps things running smoothly without ever making you feel rushed. It’s rare to see such consistent kindness and professionalism.
Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for great service and a positive experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Celebrated my birthday there last night. Rebecca made our night so very special. Food was delicious and plentiful and service was beyond great. I would rate my experience a5 out of 5. Will be back again soon.”
“as a single senior this was a fun splurge. the waiter was efficient without being obtrusive. the caesar salad and steak were perfect. the decor is lovely. highly recommend.”

“Went with my wife and two young girls…greeted with smile felt welcomed. While we waited for our delicious, fresh pizza, they allowed my 15 month old to venture around the back, and they didn’t bat an eye! Very nice people working. Pizza and Donuts were delish!!!! Definitely going to be going back!”
“The restaurant is getting better has time goes.”
“We visited Mystic Ramen and were amazed at not only the quality of food, but also the service. We had the Tuesday special and this is easily one of, if not the best meal we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Such a warm and welcoming environment! It was so amazing we got 2 different orders to take home..Can't wait to return.”
“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!!!”
“Amazing food, delicious drinks, and outstanding service!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”
“Very good food, portions were a great size, and good beer on draught. The restaurant is decorated really nicely and the atmosphere is great, our waitress was very nice and service was quick.

“My friend and I love Montana's and we drive an hour to come to this specific montana's because of its amazing food quality and service. Our server Chloe was amazing, she was so sweet and did a great job taking care of us! This will always be our favourite location, can't wait to come back! Thank you again Chloe!”

“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!”
“I had an amazing experience at Gino’s Pizza, all thanks to Veerubha! From the moment I walked in, he was incredibly welcoming, kind, and genuinely attentive. It’s rare to come across someone who takes such pride in their service, and it really shows.
Veerubha went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from helping with the order to making sure the food came out just right. His positive attitude and friendly personality made the whole experience even better.
And the pizza? Absolutely delicious. Honestly, this is one of the best Gino’s Pizza locations I’ve ever been to, and Veerubha is a big reason why. He truly makes customers feel valued and appreciated.
If you’re stopping by, I highly recommend it, especially if you get served by Veerubha. Exceptional service, great vibes, and fantastic food. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“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.”

“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!! 🎶🎤”
“Sherlock Holmes movie set? Did I just walk into a Sherlock Holmes scene on Ottawa st? What a wonderful setup. Totally relaxed from the moment you walk through the front doors. And that’s saying something walking off Ottawa St. I used to live in the neighbourhood. Might be a good thing that I don’t anymore. As this place is a gem. For those who know, they kinda keep it quiet. It’s small but perfect. And talk about calming. Easy to get into one of the comfortable chairs and sink right into this place. Karen a friend of mine had put up a few pictures about the place. I commented on the post. And wrote that it looked wonderful and I should give it a try. Karen said that if I did she would meet me there. Well let me tell you it will not be the last time for sure. Ashley and Alex behind the bar were amazing. Perfectly suited and great folks. Now, I was looking at the fantastic drinks that kept coming out. And the next time I go I would like to try a few of the concoctions. I didn’t see that they had flights (smaller versions). But I am very sure they could make something up. I most definitely will return. And look forward to spending a few hours in that calming atmosphere. One thing that was very prevalent to me. All of the patrons had their phones either upside down or put away. The direct communication by all in the place. Why that was great to see. See you all soon! Thank you so much Karen. What a wonderful evening. Ashley and Alex, looking forward to seeing you again.”
“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!!”
“We just came back from a trip from Japan and for my husband's birthday, he wanted ramen. We found this cute jewel of a place and WOW!! I got the vegan miso ramen and he got the creamy chicken ramen and both were fabulous!! I really liked how both portions, veg or not, came with a lot of vegetables and the broth was the most richest delicious flavour i've had in a while. We also tried their non alcoholic plum wine and that was a really nice surprise. Everything we tried was a success- thank you for a lovely dinner!”
“Really enjoy having breakfast there. Menu selections seem endless and food is prepared 10 plus. Usually there with a party of 6 or more and we tend to have loud voices that unfortunately carry in this quaint setting. Truly recommend it.”
“We had supper at this location last evening with my husband’s two daughters and one our granddaughters, her boyfriend and our son-in-law. Andrew was our excellent server who was pleasant and friendly despite having worked all day. He was very attentive and saw to all our requests in a timely manner. He organized individual bills accurately and everything came as ordered. He is an excellent member of your staff, and we hope to be served by him at our next visit!!”
“We came here, for lunch, to celebrate a graduation, on a Tuesday. Service was prompt and polite. They accommodated a celiac diet by creating a dish (not on the menu) fresh, and free from any cross contamination. All the meals at the table were delicious- particularly the mushroom risotto... I would go back purely for that. There cocktails were not extraordinary, however its worth mentioning the house pinot grigio was phenomenal.
Side note, I appreciate that a place like this doesn't enforce a strict dress code. Although we were all dressed up due to coming from an event its nice to know I can enjoy this level of food without having to get dressed to the nines every time.”
“Great ambience, great food and amazing service, drinks out of this world!!! I highly recommend this place to everyone!”
“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.”
“The best! Atmosphere, staff, menu, clientele… everything is always wonderful.”
“Always great food, drinks and service! Some of my favourite beers are brewed by these fine folks.”
“🪴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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“The food and service are all top notch! Best steak in Hamilton!”
“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”
“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!!”
“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”
“Amazing! Best Indian in the city for sure. Staff was super friendly, prices are very reasonable. Mutton biryani was delicious. The chicken curry was fantastic, I love that they use bone in chicken not just chicken breast. Creates a more rich sauce. 10/10 will be coming back. Only down side it there are a lot of stairs.”
“Some of the best Ramen you can get, service is great. Been coming here for years now since I moved to Stoney creek (6+). This is my go to spot when I want to sit alone and enjoy some good food in a nice quiet spot. 10/10 recommend.”
“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!”
“I’ve been to this location many times and the quality of the food is excellent. Our Server, Linda was very hospitable and friendly . Every time I go here I’m looking forward to going again! Fantastic 11/10”
“This restaurant came recommended to me as I was looking for quality. This is what we got plus more. Delicious, fresh, hot and extremely well packaged. I can’t wait to return to the restaurant next time I’m in Hamilton. Did I mention generous portions. Well done. 5 stars is not enough”
“Best patio during warmer weather and best food! Great vibe always.”
“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!”
“So good!! Had the lobster roll, shrimp and thr NS cod, soo delicious!”
“Chicago style has been a family tradition meal since the day they opened their doors. My grandparents used to order Chicago style when my mom was growing up than my mom did the same with me!! That stuffed pizza will change your life!! It is in the expensive side but I come promise you it worth every dollar!! If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“What a gem! Jordan's Homeside Pub nails the warm, cozy, authentic Irish pub feel that's so hard to find. The owner and staff are genuinely wonderful, friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The food was delicious, and the whole atmosphere just makes you want to stay a while. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to. Highly recommend!”
“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!”

“Excellent food. Cozy environment with friendly and attentive staff.”
“Service was great, prices were great and food was fantastic. Good times 😜”
“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 !”
“We always feel so welcomed at this Cora location (Upper James Hamilton). The service is top notch and appreciate Pattrick’s service, he is so kind and wants to make sure we are attended well.
Our favourite breakfast spot indeed.”
“Excellent Service and Excellent foods. The place was great. The staff was friendly and good Highly recommended ❤️👏👍”
“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 😌”
“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. All of the staff were extremely friendly as well, which made for a beautiful experience. We will definitely be back!”
“We celebrated our sons and FDIL Yankas shower a couple of weeks ago. I can't say enough about Guilia and her team. The set-up was beautiful and the food was delicious. We are still getting compliments ,and the future Bride and Groom were thrilled. Thank you Guilia !”
“Les membres de de notre troupe de danse ont pu essayé les poulet frits de Chicken Plus et il y en avait pour tous les goûts. C'était super bon. Merci de supporter la communauté K-Pop à Montréal!”
“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!”
“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...”
“A great spot for Korean food! The service was amazing, the waiters was so kind and attentive. The portion sizes were huge and everything has so much flavour! We ordered the spicy chicken, mul-naengmyeon and the sashimi naengmyeon. This is an amazing place, we will definitely come back again!”
“It can get busy so make reservations if you can. We had a 25 minute wait walking in. The wings were really good even on their half price night. The service was very good. Highly recommend!”
“The staff are insanely personable, and not in a forced by the boss way; they just have a great crew.
Lots of regulars here, but you'll feel welcome quickly. Only been there twice and they asked me and my wife's name. Good, yummy, food. You'll just all around have a good experience. Be safe though and call, because it's obviously popular and if you're coming during dinner time on the weekends or Fridays, they have lots of reservations, which makes sense, cause they're great!! lool”
“A group of us went last night and everything was perfect. The service, the food 💋, and the atmosphere. Our server, Alex, was wonderful…busy as a bee but so attentive to us, 5 women! Thank you, it was the first time for all of us and we all agreed we will definitely be back!”

Squires never disappoints, Thanks again!”

“My partner and I went out for dinner last night to celebrate, and we had such a wonderful experience. We started at the bar, where our bartender was incredibly friendly, charismatic, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
For our starter, we ordered the bao, which was packed with flavour and absolutely delicious. We both chose pizza for our mains, and they were some of the most authentic pizzas we’ve had outside of Italy. That’s not an easy feat, and it’s something not every restaurant can pull off.
We dined on the covered patio, which had a lovely atmosphere. The only downside was that, because it’s enclosed, it became quite loud and made conversation a little difficult.
Overall, we were very impressed with both the food and the service. It was a fantastic way to celebrate, and we’ll definitely be back!”
“Love Cathy's Kombucha, the best I have ever tasted. Haven't found a favourite flavour yet - they are all so delicious! So happy I found Cathy at my local Farmers Market and lucky I'm not too far from Oakville so I can pick up more during the winter❤️”
“Such great food and value! The portions are amazing, and the food is delicious!!”
“have always had nothing but the best at bornzies”

“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.”
“We tried their pizza, wings, and samosa poutine, and everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfect, and the quality exceeded our expectations. My family loved every bite, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone craving amazing food and a memorable dining experience!”
“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!”
“One of my favourite restaurant. top notch service and taste. must try.”
“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!”

“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!”
“My server was Angie N
She was amazing! So friendly and she was on the ball, never had to ask for refills or wonder how much longer my food would be, she was just on top of it
She was super knowledgeable about the menu and recommended a frozen mango margarita which was so yum felt like I was back in Mexico, definitely requesting her next time I’m in”
“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.”
“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!!!”

“For fast food this was really good. The meals were very tasty and well priced. Their smoothie machine was down and I didn't know to ask for ice in our soda. We ended up with too many fries but I enjoyed the poutine very much. I'd do drive through or pickup, the inside is not the nicest. Staff were pleasant and helpful.”
“Had an amazing experience thanks to Rachel. We were a large group of 14, and she handled our orders with incredible efficiency and a fantastic attitude even though we came so close to closing time. Drinks were flowing, everyone got exactly what they wanted, and she even remembered our preferences throughout the night. We had some issues with our food, My sisters salmon came out burnt and my steak came out bland but she helped us get remakes so we left happy. It's not easy to keep such a big party happy, but she absolutely nailed it. Highly recommend you ask for Rachel next time you go!”

“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!”
“Amazing place for Indian street food in Hamilton! The pani puri counter with 8 different flavours is a unique experience, and everything we tried was fresh and delicious. The noodle burger, stuffed kulchas, dahi puri, and cheesy schezwan puff were all fantastic. Friendly service, great variety, and authentic flavours. Highly recommend for anyone craving Indian street food!”

“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.”
