26 Best American Restaurants in Hamilton

“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!“

“Sorry this is late, I will use her name as Donna as that is what she told us. Donna was awesome so very friendly. The food was yummy. We tell people about this restaurant all the time. We will make it back there again. Thank you.“

“Came here Monday night with my brother and the food was amazing. Our server was Peter and he was so nice! He checked in with us once and seriously that was amazing. Nothing is worse than a server who checks in 6 times. Peter is wonderful and our drinks were delicious! Thank you for your great service! Boss man: Peter needs a raise!!“

“absolutly unrivaled service!“

“Good food, hot dogs and sausage. Good price.“

“always a fan of the lumber jack slam“

“So, I love diners, and wimpy's is that in spades. The service was fantastic, the food was great, my poutine came a little cold, but a minute with chef Mike fixed that right up.

Serena, the waitress, was also fantastic, very attentive and polite.

I miss the table-side jukebox controller, and the freemium YouTube music was a little weird as opposed to just tuning a radio to a classic oldies station.

In short. Good food, good staff, and a good place to eat.“

“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.“

“100% recommend. Great place. Amazing vibes. Sincerely @TherealDJShayne“

“This has become my go-to spot after work for the past 3-4 weeks, and it's now my favourite late-night place in Hamilton. I always order the Crispy Chicken Combo - hands down the best burger in town. The first time I came here, Sana, one of the staff members, helped me choose the perfect toppings. Her excellent communication skills and friendly service made the experience memorable, and ever since, l've been coming back for more.“

“Food was great, service was even better!! My family and I had the pleasure of dining at the Upper James location and had Derek as our server. He was fantastic. He went above and beyond for us, recommended amazing food, helped with additions to my children’s meals and was just a nice person. He made our visit an excellent one!!!!“

“The best place to grab a few drinks with friends in hamilton.“

“Fabulous Thursday vibe night of wine and sharables! Great music, atmosphere and the brussel sprouts were the star!!“

“Enjoyed a great birthday experience at Born and Raised last evening. The atmosphere made you feel comfortable and the food was spectacular, (make sure you try Nonnas Meatballs). While all of the staff were welcoming and made the evening enjoyable for the nine of us, Alicia went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed to make the celebration memorable! Thanks guys, you can expect to see us back again, Born and Raised will now become a regular experience.“

“The staff at this location are not only supper friendly but so very quick and so organised. They all deserve a raise.“

“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“

“Le meilleur burger d Hamilton, non de tout l Ontario, non de tout le Canada…excellente ambiance, grand choix de burgers ..leur Poutine est excellente“

“Went in for the burger deal. The girl who took our order (Mya) was very pleasant. The girl who dressed our burgers (sorry I didn’t get her name) was great and did not skimp out on the pickles! I was happy to see the Christmas decor still up and the music still playing. The restaurant was clean and when I mentioned there were no napkins they got some out right away. I will return to this location.“

“The staff here is incredible, I accidentally gave them a curve ball ordering somthing they took off the menu. They got a bit flustered but handled the entire interaction with grace and a smile and had it made quickly and perfectly. Quality and service is fantastic.“

“My friend and I had an early dinner tonight at the location at 735 Queenston Rd, in Hamilton. Our server was Madeline and she was just great. Have not seen her there before but she was such a great server, humerous, kind and helpful in making our choices. The baked potatoes needed five minutes to go before they were reeady and she was apologetic but it was well worth the wait. Everything was hot and fresh and Madeline made our visit there delightful. We were there from 4 until 5:00 if this is helpful. We do go there a lot but this meal was absolutely the best. Top rating today, without a doubt.“

“Just an excellent greasy spoon dinner!“

“Excellent service, and servers. They ran out of cellar dweller a few times, but the service staff more than made up for it. Perfect place for students to destress and have some good eats. Ask about the cellar olympics if you’re a student at Mohawk!“

“Their wings and blue cheese dip are excellent. The service might not always be quick but whenever we go out, we leave enough time to enjoy ourselves. If we are in a hurry we eat at home or go to a fast food establishment. They have numerous specials, their pizza is excellent and the ice bar rail at the main bar is functional. Lots of sports to watch. Overall, a great place to drop by.“
