19 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.“

“Had a great experience at East Side Mario's! Unfortunately my meal came out late, but Rachel provided excellent service throughout and Clark, the manager, went above and beyond to make things right. They generously offered 50% off my meal and a complimentary dessert. The customer service was outstanding and I really appreciated how well they handled the situation. I'll definitely be back!“

“absolutly unrivaled service!“

“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.“

“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.“

Amazing friendly service today from Darlene!!!“
