50 Best Burger Restaurants in Hamilton

“As a competitive bodybuilder I am very particular when it comes to food so when it's time for me to have a cheat meal I make sure that it's the healthiest and best tasting burger I can have. I always have the Philly chicken cheese and fries at Mountain Burger. Over the years I've gotten to know them to the point where Maryanne just sees me walk in and knows my order and all the adjustments I make to it. We jokingly created a new name for it; The Lenko Philly Chicken Cheese Cheat meal. It has 3 different cheeses and extra pineapple and its fantastic!“

“Absolute best burgers since they opened. Our only go to place for a quick meal. Have never disappointed us ?????“

“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.“

“The food was amazing and the service wonderful.“

“Tonight, we celebrated my nephew’s birthday and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The food was absolutely delicious every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything was served promptly and with such care, making the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable.

A special shoutout to our server, Amanda, who truly went above and beyond for us. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and friendly, always checking in at the right moments without ever making us feel rushed. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and made the celebration even more memorable. We felt genuinely cared for the entire evening, and her service turned a great night into an unforgettable one.“

“Had a great visit to A&W! The food was fresh, tasty, and served fast—classic burgers, crispy fries, and refreshing root beer. The limited time COD burger is a must try. Devon was super friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Clean spot, cozy vibe. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious Burgers and the best shakes around. Pretty please with whip cream and a cherry on top!“

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

“I can't rate service or atmosphere, as I've only ordered them through skip. That said, I've had them over a dozen times. A little higher end price wise, but it is my favourite vegetarian burger in hamilton. The fact that their fries are solid, too, is the icing on the cake. Worth every penny. Anytime it's my choice for a treat, this is my selection. Thanks for being awesome, Meltwich!!“

“Great roast beef!! Amazing fries!!“

“So disappointed this last time I went to Hutch's. I ordered a large fish and chips and both pieces were barely the size of what one piece used to be. I always got a large because I would only ever eat one piece and bring the other home for lunch the next day but not anymore. Both pieced fit on the plate and were covered with fries you couldn't even see the fish and trust me there wasn't as many fries either. Definitely not worth 18 bucks anymore. not saying I won't go back but it won't be as often as I used to. I am going to start looking for another place to get my fish and chips.“

“Bangkok fries are the best!!“

“Tried the Masala Veggie Burger at A&W and it was honestly so good! The patty had just the right amount of spice with a nice crispy texture. It’s a refreshing change from the usual veggie burgers—flavorful, filling, and totally satisfying. Loved the Indian twist. Hope it stays on the menu!“

“Visited Boardwalk Burgers and had a fantastic experience! We tried the Spicy Chicken Burger and the Chipotle Burger—both were delicious, packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we tried their newly introduced churros, which were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the right amount of sweet. The staff was incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for tasty burgers and great service!“

“Just ordered for the first time on Skip. Sooo good! Literally everything was delicious. Will definitely order again!“

“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“

“very yummy! Delivery was quick, food was hot and everyone loved it!“

“As a senior, I’ve struggled with my hearing when out etc. I went to Harvey’s on Upper Ottawa after my local dump run. The gentleman named Chris was so helpful and patient with me. He took the time to help me get the lunch I needed. The restaurant is clean, friendly and most of all the food was delicious! What Chris didn’t know was I’m recently widowed and it’s hard for me to eat solo etc. Having a great conversation with him just made that task more doable! Thank you!

Parking: Great parking!“

“First time here on Feb 15/23. Spectacular, the X burger takes no substitution but it needs no substitution“

“Highly recommend the Westdale location! Super friendly staff, simple and seriously amazing food. This is a need to check out! #addicted“

“I tried Hambrgr for the first time. The menu is super fun. It was so unique, and the food and drinks were delicious!! Going back for sure.“

“Best burgers in town! And the staff is so friendly!“

“I was in the area, hungry and looking for something tasty for dinner and I was fortunate enough to spot this Harvey's! Immediately upon pulling in there was ample parking and the lot was nicely shoveled. Inside, the restaurant was immaculately clean and I was warmly greeted by all of the staff. I ended up going with an Angus burger poutine frings and whipped up an Arnold Palmer for myself at the soda machine. The food was served piping hot and absolutely delicious. The serving size was EXTREMELY generous. I actually had trouble finishing the frings poutine. They were so jammed full they could barely close the lid. For my Angus burger I had the works and added ghost pepper mayo. Don't say I didn't warn you but it is legit! It is both delicious and spicy. Use with caution if you are not accustomed to taking heat. Overall this was an absolutely perfect dining experience and for sure I would be happy to come back do this Harvey's next time I am in town! An easy 5-stars!“

“I had an excellent experience at A&W! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. My order was taken quickly and accurately, and the food was prepared fresh and delivered with a smile. The restaurant was clean, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. It’s always a pleasure to dine here, and the team truly goes above and beyond to ensure every customer feels valued. I’ll definitely be returning soon! Highly recommend!"“

“Being a vegetarian I don’t usually go to these burger chains but i had to try their new masala burger.
I was so amazed, it was very fresh tasty and loaded. Couldn’t ask for more.

I tried their plant based before but I didn’t like it.
Only downside was cleanliness. I didn’t have much conversation with staff so can’t say anything.
Overall good experience. Will go there again.
Thank you for serving most amazing burger.
@A&W please make masala veggie burger permanent for your vegetarian customers.“

“I went to A&W with my friend which is located at Limeridge mall. Our server was very friendly, attentive and really made the whole experience feel special. Her name was kamal. It was excellent customer service from start to finish. We really enjoyed the food. Great service.“

“Every time I come here which is in the evenings every other day. The staff is friendly and polite. They always seem to be busy with some of them working the orders both inside and drive through. While others are busy cleaning the restaurant. Food is typical BK fare but it’s the staff that set this store apart.“

“Great staff“

“love the experience! great burgers and shakes, plus the staff went above and beyond by finding my daughter's shirt that we left behind and mailed it back to us! this staff is TOP NOTCH!“

“Just ordered for the first time on Skip. Sooo good! Literally everything was delicious. Will definitely order again!“

“I had the pleasure of enjoying a Masala Veggie Burger at A&W in waterdown location this morning and I must say, it was an outstanding experience! I had the pleasure of being served by Ankita during my visit to A&W and I say that her customer service was exceptional. From the moment I approached the counter she greeted me with a warm smile and made me feel welcomed. She was attentive and answering all my questions about the menu with patience and professionalism. . I will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended ?“

“I always order through the app for convenience. The food here is always fresh and the staff at the window are always so friendly.

Tonight I ordered a coffee and the apple turnover and I have to say that both were fantastic, and I got a cute little message that made my night.

Thank you!“

“Stopped by yesterday for lunch! Shared the fish tacos and duck wings- fantastic! Great beer selection and great staff! Thanks for the delicious grub!“

“Such a wonderful lunch 🥙 n the patio“

“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 highest rating I give any fast food is 4 star and it definitely goes to this Harvey's location. I went to this place in the 80s and it still tastes the same and the fries are still good. They've had a couple of face lifts but still put out a consistent product 👍

Kid-friendliness: What kid doesn't like Harvey's

Wheelchair accessibility: They make sure the restaurant is wheelchair accessible“

“I was hoping to pick up a sandwich for the car as I was in a hurry to get to my next meeting.
I ended up ordering the fish and chips. I know hard to eat in the car but I went with it.

Everything from the crispy fries and equally crispy fish it was delicious.

It took a bit longer to get than expected but they didn’t disappoint.

I’m not sure what the ambience of the restaurant is because I was there late morning.

Definitely worth a try.“

“Best omelette breakfast I've had in along time. Even beats my wife's own recipe. Meal complements are fantastic. And the coffee is to die for!“

“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.“

“Fast and friendly 🤗👍🏻👌🏻“

“Best location staff is very polite always smiles even when customers are ignorant and never know what they want half the time“

“We had my Moms 60th birthday party and retirement here, everything was perfect and the food was unreal as usual. Trent made this all happen, and was definitely a night to remember! 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!“

“Shoeless Joe's is my favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Hamilton. Great atmosphere and the staff make you feel like family.. especially Steph and the other Sunday afternoon staff!“

“First thing is that I tend to go here at their busiest of times, so my review is based on that. It's clean, bright, and kept swept. Their staff are super efficient and helpful..I took one star away only because they are so very busy that they can't always get to you as quickly as they'd like. The atmosphere is friendly and bustling...again, it's a busy breakfast place, not a candlelit dining experience. The food is always hot and done as we request...and we often have a table of ten or more of us, so that must be a challenge for them. A great eating experience. I would recommend.

Parking: It's a strip mall. Lots of parking but you may not get right at the doors.

Wheelchair accessibility: Access would be doable, but moving around inside is a little tight for us foot peeps, so the chair could be a challenge to negotiate. I'm sure peeps would make it happen. Seems like always a good crowd in there.“

“The owner of lotos is incredibly amazing, I rented the hall for my daughter’s 1st birthday, he was super helpful, and accommodating. We ran into an issue of the bouncy castle not able to fit in the hall and allowed us to have it in the parking lot at the back of the hall. Overall great service, I highly recommend lotos for any party planning. My husband and I appreciate him being so generous.“

“Great bands for a great time.“

“Amazingly delicious food every time, and great service!!“

“Super nice place….awesome food, great vibes. Will definitely be returning sooner than later. ❤️“

“First thing I ever ate on campus and probably the last. From May at Mac to convocation, Willy Dog was always there!“

“We had a lovely lunch today at Betula! My wife and I both had the tacos and my boys shared a hamburger. The food was super tasty and the portions were great! We will definitely come there again to dine.“
