“Went for dinner tonight with a good friend who had never been to Rise Above Pizza and Wings before, so we tried a little bit of everything. Sweet potato fries and the delicious sesame slaw paired with an order of wings in two flavours (maple garlic and Sriracha lime, yum!), plus the Carbonara Pizza at the recommendation of Spencer, our server. Every bite of the meal was amazing, especially the crispy texture of the wings and the creamy balance of the pizza sauce. Spencer took the whole experience to the next level though with their sparkling energy, attentiveness and friendliness from our entry all the way to perfectly divided bills at the end. The food was amazing and the service took the whole experience to the next level - can't wait to come back!“

“We cannot say enough about our experience at Pepe and Lela’s tonight. We almost cancelled because of the snow but thankfully we didn’t because it was one of the best meals we have had in a very long time. From start to finish, everything was perfect. The food is all house-made, authentic and absolutely delicious. Our server, Amanda was literally the best. She was friendly, engaging, funny, knowledgeable and so accommodating. It is so refreshing to go out for a meal and enjoy every minute of the entire experience. Everyone should try this gem- you won’t be disappointed.“

“When I found out about Indonesian’s Flavour I was a bit hesitant but I tried their food and was surprised and happy that I did not have to travel far such as to Mississauga or Toronto to eat satay , nasi goreng or rendang , etc . It is all in the Hammer /Farmer’s market . Hamilton is lucky to have Indonesian cuisine , which can come to you mild or really spicy . …You just have to ask . Now if we can only ask them to get a bigger restaurant with lots of chairs and tables for a truly good and yummy dining experience !“

“We ordered the Salmon sushi and it was so fresh and tasty! The portions were generous and we especially enjoyed the breaded scallops appetizers and the sushi nachos! The staff was very friendly. I can't wait to order again!“

“Amazing Dog pawsitive atmosphere.
Thursday lunch hour ( all day breakfast ). Our 1st visit we are greated with a friendly reminder to have our Labrador ( Highway ) use the green outside so not to interrupt our dining experience. As our 1st time it was important to show proof of vacancies and neutered as the fur babies room freely ( no aggressive dogs or people )
The environment is open and toys water are available. The menu is top notch and well priced for the options . We had waffles and coffee. Our Dog had a small waffle and scrambled egg. The restaurant supports the Dog rescue and fostering also organized by the owners . A high level of respect and acceptance of for dog lovers and the Dogs .
The owner and us talked about training and fostering and furever homes . If you have a sweet tooth and a dog then this is a must visit . They also have High quality Dog treats available for sale .
Highway will want to come back for the waffles eggs and pack fun“

“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.“

“We just came back from a trip from Japan and for my husband's birthday, he wanted ramen. We found this cute jewel of a place and WOW!! I got the vegan miso ramen and he got the creamy chicken ramen and both were fabulous!! I really liked how both portions, veg or not, came with a lot of vegetables and the broth was the most richest delicious flavour i've had in a while. We also tried their non alcoholic plum wine and that was a really nice surprise. Everything we tried was a success- thank you for a lovely dinner!“

“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!!“

“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“

“An Unforgettable Catering Experience!

I recently attended a wedding catered by Andiamo Italian, and I am still thinking about how incredible the food was. Everything was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and served with such care—it’s rare to find catering that tastes this authentic and high-quality for a large event.
A huge thank you to Alex, who was absolutely fantastic. He was not only incredibly professional but also so warm and outgoing, which really added to the positive energy of the reception. It’s clear the team at Andiamo takes pride in their work, and they truly helped make the day special. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier catering!“

“Stopped here on our way to an event at TD coliseum. They have a special every day of the week. Monday was a classic burger combo for $13. Awesome value and the server was super pleasant. Food was great. Definitely would stop here again if I'm ever going to the arena for an event.“

“This place is a gem, and the food is always delicious! My favorite is the pulled beef sandwich, and I think they have the best hummus in Hamilton. Honestly, all the food I’ve tried here is delicious, including the coffee. The staff is very friendly, so I definitely recommend it.“

“Always an amazing experience at California Sandwich Burlington. Amazing food, great Covid protocols and they treat you like family! #supportlocal“

“Awesome food and great friendly service! Paulies has catered my sons hockey team parties and their food is ALWAYS amazing! Would highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Best Donuts in Ontario! The Creme brûlée donut is out of this world! Can’t wait to come back 🍩 ❤️“

“Their delivery service is amazing! A great selection of products, fair prices and fantastic quality.“

“Bangkok fries are the best!!“

“A nice and a pretty large to satiate your dessert cravings with a wide assortment of sundaes, crepes, waffles, pastries and so on. Smiling and prompt service by Brooke even close to midnight on Canada Day. That makes all the difference more often than not.“

“Found this pizza shop using google search for the best pizza in Hamilton. Came up as one of the options. Location was super close to the delivery address.

Ordered their pickle, deluxe and big apple pizzas. They did not disappoint.

Definitely deserve to be in the best pizza list in Hamilton.“

“Start with fabulous food. Everything is prepped with love and don’t even start on the homemade desserts, chef’s kiss!It’s not just the food, it’s the people, the staff. Everyone is fab. We bring our little one that’s 10 for karaoke, she gets to stay until 9. No trouble, just welcoming lovely atmosphere. I love it there, as does my family. Thank you Tracie!“

“I had a cappuccino and the gluten free bacon waffle. The waffle was delicious, the bacon was real and think, not grocery store bought. It was great service, great coffee, would be great to have coconut milk as a nondairy alternative.“

“I’ve been wanting to try Bernie’s for sometime now and I’m sure glad I got to today. The ambiance was a delight, the kitchen was busy with takeaway orders right when they opened and the bartender was nice. My pint of beer was nice and cold and my club sandwich was over the top awesome and left me feeling full. My girlfriend enjoyed the burger — which the beef patty looked house made- and my Caesar salad was made with fresh crunchy lettuce! We’ll definitely be back for more! Cheers!“

“Great lunch! and coffee!☕️“

“I recommend the Locke St location which is excellent. But I just had delivery from either the King W or Dundas one that was brutal. Tortellini soup had like 3 Tortellinis and the burgers had clearly been pre cooked but not reheated tastied like cold grease and the cheese was not even remotely melted and still cold. Anyway the Locke location is awesome but wont do delivery again in case the delivery service goes to another location.“

“this place is WAYYYY better than booster juice and 1000% healthier! all real ingredients and you can't beat the taste! I love their bowls and I tried them for the first time this morning and I will definitely be back!“

“my sister sent me cupcakes today for my birthday 🥰🥰 best cupcake I've had in a long time. thank you!!!“

“Updated October 2025!! City Pizza New street has been our preferred Pizza place for 5+ years now! This location is excellent and Bang for the Buck they are as good as ever!!

Awesome!! We've been every week since they opened about May 2020?? We have tried the pizza, wings, panzarottis, wedges and it's all excellent!! Our new #1 pizza place!! Manpreet and all the guys are super wonderful too!!!“

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

“Highly recommend the Joojeh kabob. The chicken breast is wonderfully spiced and cooked to perfection resulting in a melt in your mouth experience.“
