“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“

“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!!“

“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“

“Great Oatmilk Latte and GF breakfast sandwich 😀“

“AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING STAFF (I LOVE YOU GABE) I LOVE GETTING THE GRILLED CHEESE AND THE CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD IS SOOO GOOD! GO TO 541 NOWWWW!!!!“

“I tried the Halal chicken sandwich...amazing The fries are just excellent“

“We ordered a pizza and wings combo from here, and it absolutely hit the spot. The pizza had a perfect crust, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. The wings were cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in a great sauce.
​Beyond the fantastic food, what really sets this place apart is the hospitality. The owner is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about the quality of the food and the satisfaction of their customers. It’s always a pleasure supporting a small, hardworking family business when they put this much love into what they do.
​This is our new go-to takeout spot. Highly recommended!“

“Cute little café with a nice concept. I loved the QR code ordering system—it gave me time to look through the menu and decide what I wanted without feeling rushed.

We sat on the patio, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s right on the street, and the tables and chairs were small and not very comfortable.

We ordered the S’mores Latte, the Ice Ice Baby cold brew, and two breakfast sandwiches (the Gatsby and the Malibu), which came to about $50. The Malibu was definitely the standout and was absolutely delicious. The drinks and the Gatsby were fine, but nothing particularly memorable.

Overall, it was a pleasant visit, but for the price, I was expecting a bit more. The Malibu was worth trying, but everything else felt a little underwhelming.“

“Went here for the first time on Sat for jam night. The 3 guys jamming were fantastic!!! The food was delicious and priced great. The owner is a friendly outgoing man and goes over the top to welcome his customers. My boyfriend and I will definitely return to see the guys jam and enjoy the food again.“

“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!“

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

“Absolutely the best prime rib I've had in years0“

“absolutely the best noodles in the world. Get the King, you won't regret it! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Excellent Service and Excellent foods. The place was great. The staff was friendly and good Highly recommended ❤️👏👍“

“Always good. Always fresh. And I can walk.“

“This is my favorite Indian restaurant. We have been eating here since 2004. The dishes are all spectacular with our favorites being the lunch platter that has three dishes, a yogurt based palette cleanser, naan and rice. Nice to see that they have more eat in space now.“

“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’s not in the best area, but open late. The staff here are great - helpful and polite. The food has always been made - honestly, perfect. In the late evenings they lock the door for added security. You have to be buzzed in, I appreciate that that they added that measure. Once you place your order the wait is reasonable. Definitely worth the visit whenever needed :)“

“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!“

“Service was prompt, and accommodating. The portions are generous, so I would say descent value. The server helped accommodate my requests/food allergies. BEST babaganoush I've had, I eat one in house and order one to take home! The House salad is also a favorite of mine. Falafels are delicious! Crispy on the outside, and tender inside. Chicken skewers were tasty as well; constructively perhaps a touch less time under heat to ensure a more juicy inside, but the outside was on point.

Temperature of the restaurant was freezing for my preference, maybe ideal if you are actively moving around but as a guest sitting still it was quite uncomfortable.

Overall a delicious dinner with plenty of time to visit, without feeling rushed. We have been in the past, and we will be back. Thank you for your hospitality.“

“I had the pleasure of coming across North End Pita in Hamilton today when I was looking for somewhere to pick up lunch. The owner was very friendly and welcoming; the type of person that makes you feel like he cares about your business. I ordered the Thai Salad. It was great value for the money with a generous portion of shrimp and chicken topping the lettuce and vegetables. It was delicious. I recommend North End Pita for it’s quality and value“

“We had excellent service tonight. Juliana was so nice and such a people person. Sure went out i ok f her way to make us feel taken care of. Service was exceptional.“

“I LOVE SZECHUAN NOODLE BOWL <33 I recommend it to all my friends and have been there like once a month the last 2 or 3 months. was there today and like a couple days ago! the braised beef and pork are both delicious and the service is always so kind. a routine favorite hamilton spot of mine since moving here and I'd recommend it to all :))“

“Bangkok fries are the best!!“

“A long overdue review from me. Where do I even start?

When I moved to Hamilton(many years ago), this family had just bought this place, the people running the pizzaria prior, sucked.

The food is amazing, and they've always been extremely helpful. They've NEVER, EVER. Gotten my order wrong, and are never late.

At one point we were ordering from them twice a month, they know my phone number, voice and address by heart, and absolutely never skip a beat.

I love this place so much the owners are genuine, polite, amazing people.“

“Best fish and chips !!!!! Fresh, hot and delicious !!!!!“

“Had a gyro and fries today. BEST fries I have ever had in my life! And I am a senior citizen. Hot, fresh, not greasy and salted to perfection. I will never get fries anywhere else. Kudos to the cook!“

“I had the breakfast poutine (minus the egg) this morning and it was superb. Very large portion, beautifully crisp fries and the amounts of cheese curds, bacon and sausage were very generous. We will definitely be back!“

“Went for the first time today. Food was 10/10. Fresh, very tasty .. definitely recommend. The inside is super cute, nice decor/ ambiance. We’ll be back for sure.“

“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...“

“Not only was the food absolutely amazing, but the service was phenomenal! Our server not only handled the lounge and the dining room BY HERSELF, but was also efficient and friendly! The only downside was overhearing overhearing group of ignorant people complaining unnecessarily. If you have to wait for your food here, trust me, it's more than worth it . Best Italian meal I've had in over a decade.“

“They make a really good old school pizza 😋 🍕“

“That pizza was awesome. Thin crust. Big slices. Cupped pepperonis. And sesame seeds around the crust. I've never had pizza like this before and it was great.“

“I absolutely love this place! We've ordered multiple times, and each time it was great. We will definitely be ordering again.“

“Absolutely delicious pastries and baked goods for any special occasion. Never disappointed.“

“Excellent food, great servers, friendly atmosphere“

“First time dinning here but it won’t be the last !! All the meals looked amazing and my Manicotti was the best I’ve ever had .“

“The best Pho in Hamilton bar none.“
