Family Restaurants near Hamilton, ON

“UPDATE: Foodbox provided me a replacement box of onion rings on my next order. Overall, they onion rings were okay, A little on the underdone/soft side, but better than being burnt. The Fish & Chips continued to be average and okay. Their fries, which I tried this time too, where pretty good, and the Tar Tar sauce continued to be pretty good too.

I am glad I have them another chance, even if it's not the most amazing food, it's a pretty decent value based on what you get for what you pay, so if you're looking for some good, affordable, decent value, average quality fish and chips. This place ain't that bad.

ORIGINAL REVEIW: Ordered fish and chips from Food Box a few days ago (been busy since then). It was a busy night and we were craving fish and chips so we placed an order. When it arrived, the fish was on par with your average fish and chips place, fair for the price, and the in-house tar-tar sauce was good too.

However, the onion rings were were outright burnt. I am not sure how this passed any visual or quality inspection. The onions inside were shriveled to leather and the outsides were burn and hard as a rock. They were inedible. We were left without a side for our meal.

I am finally getting around to writing a review now so others can be prepared to the quality they can expect if they order, however, I hope this is a one-off and Food Box reaches out to me to give them another chance.“

“Honestly this place is a bit of a hidden gem. Looks run down on the outside but when you come in you’re greeted with super friendly service. I had a guy serving me and cooking my food he was chatty, quick and you could tell he knows his regulars because each of them was happy to engage in convo with him. For 11 dollars I got 2 eggs, 3 sausages, 2 pieces of toast and some really tasty breakfast potatoes. I would definitely pop in here for lunch or dinner sometime. Thanks for the friendly service :)“

“Just an excellent greasy spoon dinner!“

“After football we always call in and get sausage rolls or pies! Best pies I have had the flavours are amazing! You can see the passion in Chef Lee. The only problem is.......If we turn up to late the pies have sold out )))“

“Great night out with friends“

“Love this place! Great food Great service Great for all ages“

“I haven't been here in years. For decades, I used to come every weekend with my family. Quality and service have not slipped at all. Left here fully satisfied, and didn't pay too much either. Great food and atmosphere! Still 5 stars.“

“I visited the Village Restaurant this week. Owner Mary is a gem, serving us with sincerity and good humour...and good food. I am one of 9 siblings and 5 of us get together with partners every 2-3 months to celebrate 1-2 birthdays. Some of the gang are hard of hearing and noisy restaurants make it hard to visit so we requested the private room. This accommodated us so well that the sister who lives in Caledonia has made a request that this be our go-to place. A couple of us come from Dunnville and some come from Waterdown. And one lives down the street. So it will be great. Thank you, Mary!!! We will be back. Oh, the food was really good too. One brother in law commented that the beef in his beef dip tasted like real roast beef. And they have homemade soup everyday. The corn chowder was fabulous.“

“My family and i always use this restaurant when i come to visit from England, have been going here for over 10 years. Never had a bad experience here, the food is delightful! Always having leftover pancakes the next day as the Canadian portions are a loveable size! :-)“

“Great service and good home style food with many options. Could use a little updating on the decor .“
