Shy's Place Restaurant 11 Coreslab Dr, Dundas American • $$
Recommended

“DELICIOUS!

the food was fantastic, I can't say enough about it. We got every appetizer (excluding ceaser salad) and each one was a 10/10.

I don't like steak, and I hate seafood... but I could have finished the steak bites and calamari on my own! The battering and sauces on both were absolute perfection, I'd try to recreate these dishes at home but I know even with my home-cooking skills I would be disappointed.

My only gripe is the music was loud, but they had a party upstairs so that may have contributed. (This wouldn't have even been something I noticed, but my 4month old was with us and it was hard to hear her babbles)”

We ordered the meat platter, which easily serves 2–3 people, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Juicy, perfectly grilled meats packed with flavor. We paired it with a side salad and pita bread with their house-made spreadable cheese—creamy, tangy, and addictive!

Every bite was delicious, and the portions are generous. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend!”

Tim Hortons 30 Queenston Rd, Hamilton Coffee & Tea • $

“TLDR: Be prepared to wait on Fridays!
This place is popular: Drive-through is jammed from 1pm onwards (that’s from an employee) every weekend. The back crew keep it moving well. I should’ve chosen that option this visit.
The owner asked us last week why we don’t stop by as much as before. Today it took 25+ minutes to get two drinks and a muffin on a mobile order. The flatbread pizza was ready in 5, so it was cooling in the box while we waited for the rest. Had to go back in the regular line to inquire about the rest of the order after 15 min. Had a nice chat with another customer & off-staff in the line while waiting: friendly atmosphere. I know the other crew member was working on two delivery orders & doing another crew member a favour, but maybe that’s the norm?
The pizza was lukewarm, but still tasty. The drinks were refreshing once we got them. The muffin was a muffin, our usual order. So kudos to the sandwich station crew: she beat the clock.”

He smiled without any sign of frustration and kindly agreed, saying, “I will make it for you.” While other staff members were engaged in conversation, Ayush took full responsibility and ensured everything was done properly.

The pizza he made was excellent, and I truly appreciate his dedication and customer service. He is an outstanding team member and I will come next time for sure to take this kind of service from him.”

We ordered the meat platter, which easily serves 2–3 people, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Juicy, perfectly grilled meats packed with flavor. We paired it with a side salad and pita bread with their house-made spreadable cheese—creamy, tangy, and addictive!

Every bite was delicious, and the portions are generous. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommend!”

And Amanda, our bartender, crafted cocktails with fresh, high-quality ingredients that were simply delightful. The menu boasts diverse, locally sourced, and seasonal offerings that cater to various tastes. We loved the share plates, particularly the Whipped Feta & Roasted Plum and "Pad Thai" Fries. Each bite was a masterclass in flavours and textures. The Daily Oysters were expertly prepared, with a perfect balance of horseradish, Sriracha, and rhubarb-cucumber mignonette. Presentation was stunning, and the taste profiles matched the descriptions precisely. Whether you're dining solo, on a date, or with friends before a show, Undefined is the perfect spot. Its premium downtown location makes it easily accessible to many amenities. Kudos to the entire team – 5 stars well-deserved! We'll be back soon.”

Not only is it the perfect spot to hang out with your furry friend, but it’s also now a haven for healthy and delicious food—for both humans and dogs!

The new menu is thoughtfully crafted, offering nutritious and enjoyable options that cater to dog owners and their pups. The attention to detail is amazing, from the quality of ingredients to the welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

My pups and I love stopping by—it’s such a treat knowing I can indulge in something tasty while ensuring my dog gets to play. You can truly feel the love and care that’s gone into making this space so special and I feel like it’s only getting better.

Highly recommend for a fun, feel-good outing with your four-legged best friend!

“If you’re looking for a little slice of Italy in Hamilton, let me save you the trouble , The Express Italian Eatery is it. From the moment you step inside, you feel like you’ve been welcomed into a family kitchen rather than a restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, the staff are genuinely passionate, and then… the food arrives, and you realize you’ve struck gold.

The Calzone alone deserves its own standing ovation. Golden, perfectly baked, with that irresistible balance of crisp outside and soft, cheesy goodness inside, it’s the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a moment just to take it all in. The pasta? Forget what you think you know about pasta. Every bite is fresh, rich, and bursting with the kind of authentic flavor that can only come from a kitchen that knows and loves real Italian cooking.

Every single plate that comes out feels like a love letter to Italy. Whether you’re diving into the pasta, tearing into that calzone, or sampling one of their other creations, there’s this unmistakable feeling that you’re tasting something made with heart, tradition, and a touch of Italy ! Thank you everyone and especially to Natasha for her incredible service and making us feel like part of the family.”

“DELICIOUS!

the food was fantastic, I can't say enough about it. We got every appetizer (excluding ceaser salad) and each one was a 10/10.

I don't like steak, and I hate seafood... but I could have finished the steak bites and calamari on my own! The battering and sauces on both were absolute perfection, I'd try to recreate these dishes at home but I know even with my home-cooking skills I would be disappointed.

My only gripe is the music was loud, but they had a party upstairs so that may have contributed. (This wouldn't have even been something I noticed, but my 4month old was with us and it was hard to hear her babbles)”

“Our family ordered 3 trays of lasagna, a Greek salad and 1 1/2 garden salad for a Celebration of Life. We had this all delivered. The food was delicious! The lasagnas were hot with lots of meat, pasta and sauce and the salads were fresh with lots of vegetables & dressing that we added ourselves to our taste. The Greek salad was exceptional & we would order only that in the future. Len & Lester were wonderful to deal with & extremely patient & helpful, answering all my questions. Our delivery person was very friendly & set things up for us perfectly. We had no complaints during a very stressful time and would order from them again with no hesitation.”

Hutch’s on the Beach 280 Van Wagners Beach Rd, Hamilton Hamburger • $

“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.”

“We were created with a friendly smile and shown to our table promptly. The waitress was friendly and got our order right. The food arrived quickly and was delicious and hot. The only problem is there was an extra charge of a spinach dip. Luckily I did notice. The waitress did apologize and stated there was an error. Being that I had already paid by gift cards, she waived the remaining $21 balance. That was a lovely gesture.”

“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.”

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.”

“Tried the Regular puff at Burgerwale and it was genuinely impressive.
Crispy layers, soft inside, and a nicely balanced filling — not too spicy, not too bland. Just the right kind of comfort snack you’d want with a cup of chai.

It’s fresh, flaky, and satisfying without trying too hard.”

Church's Texas Chicken 142 Hwy 8 unit 10b, Stoney Creek Chicken • $$

“We ordered four $2 snack attack deals (1 biscuit and 1 piece of chicken), with three spicy and one mild. All of the pieces we ordered were thighs. It was a great deal, but the mild piece was incredibly greasy, so maybe ask them to be careful about that. The biscuits here are so good, I’m drooling just thinking about it. My one gripe was how stingy they were with the hot sauce. You definitely need more than one pack for a single piece and we received three. The restaurant was also generally clean. Would recommend this to anyone as a great way to try their food if you’ve never been.”
