“We have had their chicken wings before and they are awesome but today we tried the beef rib special and it was out of this world! Thank you bbq bandits.”
“it was mine and my girlfriends first time at a moxies restaurant. We had delicious food, it was a great atmosphere and music, and also had a great server named Ryan. One thing that I noticed was that he came to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was ok with our food, in which is not done at many other places. It showed that he cared about our experience and made it very pleasurable. His customer service was number 1.”
“Went here on Monday with my girlfriend. The staff was so friendly and our server Amanda was great. Even though the place was extremely busy she still took our orders and gave us our food and drinks in a quick and timely manner and was super nice and respectful. 5/5 server. We got the breadsticks, caesar and garden salads, tomato soup, hero chicken parmesan sandwich and the spicy sausage penne. Everything tasted great. Recommend East Side Mario’s.”

“We visited Mystic Ramen and were amazed at not only the quality of food, but also the service. We had the Tuesday special and this is easily one of, if not the best meal we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Such a warm and welcoming environment! It was so amazing we got 2 different orders to take home..Can't wait to return.”

“Tried Apllada last evening…5 Stars for sure BEST GREEK FOOD EVER!!! Fresh, authentic, homemade, flavourful and a dining experience! The restaurant was cozy and welcoming. The owners - (one, our chef who is certainly a master of Greek cuisine) and the other (our host who was welcoming and informative) Highly recommended! Will definitely be back…”
“Took my 4 year old here for a P.A. day from school and he loved it. he has been asking to go back ever since. we played some great games, got some DND dice at a sweet price and a few miniatures to paint together at home. He enjoyed the milk and oreos and I the cold brews. Awesome place filled with awesome people, awesome games, awesome goodies, and sweet deals. Overall AWESOME! Thank you guys for doing what you do for the gaming community.”
“Our first time at Shy’s, honestly not sure why I waited so long. We had a private room upstairs as there were 8 of us. Our server, Zoe and his trusted companion Maryanne were wonderful. Service was excellent, food was very good. You are not rushed, it’s a very comfortable atmosphere. We loved the theme throughout. I highly recommend this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.”
“We were at bronzies last night for our first time and I gotta say the veal parmesan is to die for absolutely incredible we will be back soon and the waitress was super super nice 😊😊😊😊😊 Highly RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 👌👌👌”
“What a lovely place to celebrate (early) Valentine’s Day! The menu was fun and everything was served fresh with great care and thought. The owner continuously checked up on us which made us feel super welcomed! The Nashville Hot Chicken was a bit too crispy for my liking, but that was quickly set right by a complementary basque cheesecake with burnt caramel (which may be the best we’ve ever had). The atmosphere is so thoughtfully decorated and beautiful and everything is spotless. The service was also great, of course. The cocktails were another highlight; we thoroughly enjoyed the passion fruit martini and winter colada. I would give 6 stars if I could!”

“Amazing dining experience! Two people, lunch buffet. Upper James, Hamilton, ON. CAD $26, plus a senior's discount of 20%. Great value. Wonderful selections of appetizers, entrees, and desserts, including sushi and sashimi. Great taste. Great service. Hot hand towels before and after the meal is a nice touch. Clean washrooms. Can't beat the Mandarin restaurant for an overall great dining experience.”
“The wife and I drove from Brampton to Hamilton just to try Tony G's pizza. I'll tell you....the heavy traffic and an hour and a half drive was welllll worth it!! The pizza was totally awesome and the guys working that day were so friendly. Awesome place....atmosphere....employees... And most of all....Awesome pizza!!! Well done Tony G's We'll be back for sure!!”

“At the st. Catharine’s location at the Pen Center. I’m here with my daughter. Had the wings and fries and the dessert Divide and conquer Belgian Waffle! The service is amazing but it’s a large place so we did approach the counter right away. It’s beautiful and clean. So many delicious things on the menu to choose! I highly recommend it!”
“Customer service is Great, food tastes great. The portion size for the chicken and waffle on the brunch menu is definitely to small. Besides that everyone else ordered something else and it was a good portion size. Definitely will go back but not ordering the chicken and waffle, still felt hungry afterwards.”

“The food was delicious. The naan was the best I have eaten in North America. It was perfect”
“My friend and I drove to B-Side Social from Niagara after winning a dozen free oysters and it did not disappoint! The oysters were so good we ordered an additional dozen along with the caprese salad and it was phenomenal! All of the staff was amazing. The owner (I think) or at least the GM came and chatted with us a few times, she had great energy! Our server Autumn was super cute and did a bang up job! Will def recommend and return!”
“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 !”
“Absolutely adore Secco, my husband and I have celebrated our anniversary here, my birthday, and many other events including high tea and brunch. Not only is the food divine and the drinks delicious, but the staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. The chef holds themself to such a high standard that they came out and apologized to me as he felt the last lobster tail they had was not good enough for us and did not meet secco standards and he did not want to serve it as he wanted the best for us, we were given a free appetizer and glasses of prosecco for this, and were highly impressed by not only the honesty, but the standard Secco holds itself to. 10/10 my favourite place to go in Hamilton ♥️”
“Undefined is a true gem in downtown Hamilton! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming staff made us feel at home. Mary Karger, the General Manager, sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Chef Chris and Sous Chef Bryant's culinary expertise shines through in every dish. 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.”
“Parents Order
My mom and dad used to order their pallet boxes from here all the time, and it was always amazing. The time was short from order to pickup, and the food was amazing. Definitely coming in person next time I’m in Hamilton.”

“I didn't catch her name at front customer service/cash area but she was super friendly and answered my questions. She knows her stuff and promotions. We came here for breakfast as we were passing through Ancaster on Wed. Feb. 11/26 at 10:45am. The cook was way better then other A& Ws we've been to in Brantford. We will return for such good food and top notch service, we'll done A& W team.”
“I had a great experience at this Tim Hortons thanks to the excellent customer service from Ansa! She was friendly, patient, and made sure my order was exactly right. It’s always nice to be greeted with a smile and great attitude, especially during busy hours. Thank you, Ansa, for your kindness and professionalism — you really made my visit enjoyable!”

“Staff was very friendly and efficient. They answered my inquiry of Mirin usage (they don't use it) over the phone kindly and with knowledge of their own product. Atmosphere was the best I've ever had a sushi restaurant. There was a nice 2 seater for my wife and I with a privacy screen. Loved it! Also they have popular anime figurines in the shop lol.”

“I don’t ever really write reviews on restaurants unless they are consistent with their food quality and standards. So with that being said, this is the third time I’ve ordered with Timmy’s and I definitely need to acknowledge this place. My husband and I order the same thing every time (we don’t really like change lol) and every single time with the two kebabs and rice it is ABSOLUTELY perfect. They don’t miss. The food that comes out of their kitchen is obviously made with love and care because they never let a bad plate go out. I’m not big on rice. At all. But this rice, I can eat all day, every day. They put a type of red sauce on it and a white sauce too. But it’s not what you think. It’s not the typical shawarma red and white sauce you get when you order a wrap or a plate. It’s savoury red sauce with tomatos and a little bit of kick. The white sauce seems yogurt based and it pairs absolutely perfect with the rice. And the rice, isn’t your typical white rice. It seems marinated in a way that is exploding with flavour just on its own. And don’t even get me started on the kebabs!!!! They’re juicy and big and packed full of flavour. And they give you two massive kebabs! TWO! This meal is not only filling but absolutely delicious and I’ve been addicted to Timmy’s Tanur since the moment I tried it the first time. Whether you’re dining in, taking out, using Uber eats or door dash, this restaurant will NEVER disappoint. They even throw in a delicious pita to make sure you’re full! Absolutely wonderful! I recommend this place to everyone and anyone!!!”
“The restaurant is getting better has time goes.”
“Went with my wife and two young girls…greeted with smile felt welcomed. While we waited for our delicious, fresh pizza, they allowed my 15 month old to venture around the back, and they didn’t bat an eye! Very nice people working. Pizza and Donuts were delish!!!! Definitely going to be going back!”
“We visited Mystic Ramen and were amazed at not only the quality of food, but also the service. We had the Tuesday special and this is easily one of, if not the best meal we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Such a warm and welcoming environment! It was so amazing we got 2 different orders to take home..Can't wait to return.”
“We were fortunate to find Willard's on a friend's reco. we need nut free and the added small bath freshness is an added bonus. Great selection of flavours and super friendly team. We will be back. Thank you Willard's for including those who suffer from allergies in your creations.”
“Staff was very friendly and efficient. They answered my inquiry of Mirin usage (they don't use it) over the phone kindly and with knowledge of their own product.

“I just had a 60 person catering order and I was not disappointed. I’m Italian and my husband is Pakistani. I had nothing but rave reviews from everyone. I was having a hard time finding a good authentic Pakistani restaurant in Hamilton. We’re loaded with Indian restaurants which I also love. I do cook Pakistani food but for a night out or a function I will order from here again.”
“Their desserts are delicious. They are the best in all of GTA. The tastiest 'zainud al-sitt' you can find is in Canada, along with the best baklava. The sweetness of the desserts is perfectly balanced—not too much. As for their service, it's excellent. The staff welcome you with a smile, offer you a piece of sweetness, and serve you quickly.”
“Tonight was our first time trying Golden Tenders. All I can say is OMG!!! I haven't had such delicious fresh chicken EVER from a restaurant. Thank you GoldenTenders!!! We are a family of 4 adults and were so impressed with the portion sizes. We will definitely be ordering from Golden Tenders again!”
“Just wanted to give a shout out to Johnny. On Friday 1-16-26 my silver ladys had the experiece of having Johnny as our server. What an amazing young man. Very personable attentive to our needs and conversed in our conversation when we asked about life and dreams..Excellant server”

“I have visited this location several times now and the service has been excellent every time. The employees are very polite, accommodating knowledgeable and patient. In particular there is one employee who stands out, his name is Tom. I was quite impressed because he already memorized what I order after my first visit.”
“As a former barista and bulk coffee distributor the most impressive aspect of this fine establishment were the varieties of whole bean available from roasters around the globe. In addition, the beans in their espresso machine are changed on a semi-weekly basis. Each visit you may be treated to a completely different origin or roaster.
The cafe has a small selection of pastries to compliment their beverage offerings. Prepared off site but baked in house allows for fresh and delicious taste experience. I had a ham and cheese croissant with everything bagel seasoning and it was flaky and yummy.
I will return to try the rest of their pastries as well as the treat of being surprised with a bean from a roaster from some part of the world I might have never visited.
There is street parking, accepted card payment, curated selection of whole beans for purchase, cute stickers, and friendly service.
The bar staff knows what they are doing, I trust their skill and knowledge. It would be easy to fall into a rabbit hole of coffee conversation with the staff.”
“Order came quickly with no fuss and was so great that me and my daughter both ordered a second.good stuff,the staff was attentive to my daughter's food requirements and provided excellent solutions to accommodate her.very happy with the service and quality of the food”
“A nice, cozy little place that has a fantastic selection of cocktails.”
“We were just there to celebrate a friends 65th Birthday...Alison bar Mgr and the restaurant Mgr made sure our evening was special..Too our two waiters Mike and Adam you guys were amazing.....I can not thank you all enough for caring about our special occasion and making it even more special. Thank You All doing much . Until our next visit.”
“Crooksy’s is a true gem. Everything you could want from a neighbourhood pub. Great food, incredible prices (especially if you stick to weekly specials), fun and quality staff. Crooksy’s is the kind of place you can walk into by yourself and walk out with 3 new friends. If you haven’t tried the wings, you should!!”
“Great ambience, great food and amazing service, drinks out of this world!!! I highly recommend this place to everyone!”
“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!!”
“You can play the song “boys” by Charli XCX on repeat and no one will kick you out. The owner won’t be happy about it, but you won’t get kicked out. Also, wings are fire.”
“Have been here twice and both times the ramen was hitting!
Love the chili crisp, and the spicy sesame ramen, very tasty broth and generous bowl of soup, so comforting and filling.
The karaage chicken could use a pinch more salt but still tasty and crispy enough.
Staff is welcoming and pleasant.”
“I attended a bridal shower here and it was beautiful! The service was great, food was delicious and the atmosphere is stunning! Definitely want to come back to try the restaurant.”
“The best! Atmosphere, staff, menu, clientele… everything is always wonderful.”
“🪴All of the plants with great indoor and outdoor seating and open air in ”fairweather”! 💚 Jen behind the bar was super friendly and welcoming. 🍺 Garden Grave is the most delicious beer that I've had in a long time! ✅ Vibe check… passed! 🍻🍭 Two Hops Up… you should drink here!”
“We had a great experience, Amanda took such good care of us - she was friendly, quick, and very efficient. Everything came out perfectly and she made sure we had everything we needed. Really appreciated her excellent service!”
“Best patio during warmer weather and best food! Great vibe always.”
“The food and service are all top notch! Best steak in Hamilton!”
“Always great food, drinks and service! Some of my favourite beers are brewed by these fine folks.”
“Our first time at Shy’s, honestly not sure why I waited so long. We had a private room upstairs as there were 8 of us. Our server, Zoe and his trusted companion Maryanne were wonderful. Service was excellent, food was very good. You are not rushed, it’s a very comfortable atmosphere. We loved the theme throughout. I highly recommend this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.”
“Absolutely amazing, my husband and I only recently came across Sasso and decided to give it a try, we were very impressed. From the staff to the food and everything in between we have had nothing but an exceptional experience, however it helps that our server Erika is beyond amazing at her job and is really one of the best servers we’ve ever had.”
“Amazing! Best Indian in the city for sure. Staff was super friendly, prices are very reasonable. Mutton biryani was delicious. The chicken curry was fantastic, I love that they use bone in chicken not just chicken breast. Creates a more rich sauce. 10/10 will be coming back. Only down side it there are a lot of stairs.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Lovely breakfast and brunch place. Restaurant was slammed but Shay handled us promptly with a smile. Jenna was also so hospitable and attentive! The food was excellent, especially the Hammy Benny with the pork belly and the french toast! Reservations recommended and def worth the wait. Good vibes!”
“As the biggest of karaoke enthusiasts, my partner and I checked out Dat Cang Karaoke on Concession, for our date night out. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves singing karaoke to our hearts content. The staff was lovely and courteous, quick to respond to needs, and curious about our feedback as they are newly open and licensed. They also let us know that this was the first Wednesday night open for karaoke so it was especially nice to sneak in unanticipated and the only singers in the club. We both were impressed with their host system, sound quality, and especially stage lighting - it felt welcoming to sing in a space built with obvious care. There's plenty of comfortable seating arranged in groupings that enable you to sing from your seat or take the stage if desired. We did both and enjoyed the comfort of feeling like singing at home but in a lovely and well-tended space. The karaoke system is far superior to most currently used in North America. having myself been a karaoke host and a world champion of karaoke competition, I feel confident in saying that this is a program that is far more accessible to worldwide karaoke options in multiple no languages. I was really impressed with its accessibility and performance and also impressed with the sound quality which was definitely above standard. Both of us look forward to coming back again and with some friends for many fun nights of karaoke to come! Thank you for listening to us!! 🎶🎤”
“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!”
“Great little spot for Ramen. Had the Tonkatsu and wife had the Vegan. Outstanding on both counts. Broth was flavourful, and the noodles just perfect. Will be back when we're in the area. The staff are very welcoming, and there's plenty of parking too.”
“Fabulous Thursday vibe night of wine and sharables! Great music, atmosphere and the brussel sprouts were the star!!”
“Excellent service, and excellent food. We stayed at c hotel to celebrate our anniversary as we got married there years ago and wanted to return to celebrate. We ate at Baci for the first time last night and we had the pepperoni and margarita pizza. Honestly it’s some of the best pizza I may have ever had. It had the taste of Neapolitan pizza but without the flop. It was nice and crispy with a beautiful char flavour, loaded with pepperoni and cheese. I can’t wait to come back to eat again, thanks for a great dinner!”
“I’ve been to this location many times and the quality of the food is excellent. Our Server, Linda was very hospitable and friendly . Every time I go here I’m looking forward to going again! Fantastic 11/10”
“We highly recommend this restaurant. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable and the service is excellent and friendly. If you would like authentic mexican food, Mesa is the place to go ito enjoy a nice meal and great service. The owner is a wonderful person who always makes sure that the clients are satisfied. They also have the best churros in town!”

“I’m visiting from Alberta and when the super nice manager found out, she gifted me and my friend a delicious treat just to “have a great weekend”! Great staff and great food, nice little local.”
“Went for my partner's birthday and we had the most fantastic time. Our server Anna was very attentive and friendly, even letting us sample wine before we bought a bottle for the night. The food was delicious, the traditional gyro was to die for, and the complimentary slice of cake was a perfect way to end an amazing meal. This might be the second time we've come here, but we will definitely be back many times from here on out!”
“1st time there since 2019. Our server (Kaylie?) was attentive, sweet and friendly. The white wine sangria was to die for!!! I'll be back.”
“Anna, our server was absolutely amazing! She was so patient, accommodating and a delight to speak to! She shared such exciting recommendations and was really quick with her service. We need more people like her in the service industry!
Thank you Anna.”
“Stopped by yesterday for lunch! Shared the fish tacos and duck wings- fantastic! Great beer selection and great staff! Thanks for the delicious grub!”
“This cozy restaurant has left the best impression. Came for a romantic date night after a friend recommended it. Great atmosphere, excellent service (Dan was amazing), delicious dishes and drinks, and wonderful dessert. I highly recommend and will be returning again.”
“Went there this evening to give it a try, service was prompt, and very courteous. The Food was very good, and I definitely reccomend it.”
“Excellent food. Cozy environment with friendly and attentive staff.”
“We celebrated our sons and FDIL Yankas shower a couple of weeks ago. I can't say enough about Guilia and her team. The set-up was beautiful and the food was delicious. We are still getting compliments ,and the future Bride and Groom were thrilled. Thank you Guilia !”
“I don’t usually write reviews about places, but my friend & I decided to come here for something light after our little adventure around hamilton. It was my first time trying this place & absolutely loved it. We ordered the calamari & tacos which were divine. All the flavours were there. We didn’t order anything with alcohol in it, but the drinks we had were still good too! I don’t wanna say her name out of respect (starts with a J), but our waitress was also super friendly & has good banter! Overall, it was a great experience & I’ll definitely be coming back 😌”
“Les membres de de notre troupe de danse ont pu essayé les poulet frits de Chicken Plus et il y en avait pour tous les goûts. C'était super bon. Merci de supporter la communauté K-Pop à Montréal!”
“This is the best Thai food I’ve had besides when I was actually in Thailand. we went with a group for a birthday party a couple of weeks ago and we were all blown away by the delicious food. All of the staff were extremely friendly as well, which made for a beautiful experience. We will definitely be back!”
“Enjoyed a nice meal in this Rest I had not been in in a few years. I had the burger. Very good, very tasty. Others in party had salmon, wings and daily soup. Food was excellent. Service was great Karen was attentive and friendly. place is very cozy and clean”
“We visited your café yesterday and everything was absolutely delicious. Our kids especially loved the sweet sandwich—it was their favorite! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food was truly amazing. We highly recommend the steak, coffee, and the chocolate cookie. We really enjoyed our time and will definitely come back again soon.thank you❤️😍”
“Great vibes here, I got the spicy tuna and spicy salmon maki rolls, both were absolutely delicious and maintained their flavour without the spicy taking away from it at all. Great blend of quality ingredients and preparation expertise, will be coming back!”
“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.”

“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!”
“We visited Saigon House for lunch last week and were very impressed with the food and service. The restaurant was very clean, and we were greeted and seated right away upon arrival. There were a few other tables already dining, which created a nice atmosphere.
Our drink orders were taken promptly by a young gentleman who was very polite, and our food orders were taken shortly after our drinks arrived. We ordered appetizers along with our lunches. My husband had the pho, and I ordered a vermicelli dish. We started with the shrimp spring rolls, which were a 10/10, the flavours were spot on.
Everything we ordered was fresh, flavourful, and well prepared, and we left very happy with our experience. My only small wish is that they offered lunch specials. Will definitely be back!”
“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”
“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!”
“Our favourite Sunday cooldown after work. Elyse, brado, and there server who served us (updated once we get his name) (Feb23 @12am) are especially hardworking and who put effort in treating their guests. As someone who is a server in this industry, we can see who puts effort into their work and who enjoy it. This is a well community based restaurant with multiple connections with one another so I deeply respect, recommend, and appreciate the people who work here. We'll always be back for the people who work they're hardest here.”
“Service was great, prices were great and food was fantastic. Good times 😜”
“My wife and I just ate at the Ancaster Monfort Grill House twice this weekend! They were superb! The Lamb Shishlick was incredible…the sides and pita was some of the best I’ve ever had! Our waitress was absolutely amazing and so friendly , we wish we didn’t live 18 hours away because we would eat here very often! Signed Steve and Marnie of Garden Steele Away!”
“Fantastic food and great service. Ordered takeout on a whim while visiting from out of town and staying across the street. Some of the best lentil soup I’ve ever had! Loved that it was puréed.
Everything was fresh and delicious, and was ready quite fast. The portions were huge so we had a lot of leftovers to enjoy. If we are in the area we’ll be back!”
“Such great food and value! The portions are amazing, and the food is delicious!!”
“I absolutely love this place! We've ordered multiple times, and each time it was great. We will definitely be ordering again.”
“Love Cathy's Kombucha, the best I have ever tasted. Haven't found a favourite flavour yet - they are all so delicious! So happy I found Cathy at my local Farmers Market and lucky I'm not too far from Oakville so I can pick up more during the winter❤️”
“Excellent Service and Excellent foods. The place was great. The staff was friendly and good Highly recommended ❤️👏👍”

“We expected a party of approx 20 people on Jan 24/26 but due to the weather we had 3 people that flew out early from Pearson to Logan Airport and around 4 went home immediaely after the 'due' because they were from out of town. That left 13 of us. Since we had reserved, we still had a round table for 13 in the back of the restaurant. We decided to go with a family style format and actually ordered way too much food. The portions were large and tasty, from the egg rolls + spring rolls to a variety of dishes that satisfied everyone. We were extremely well looked after despite the restaurant getting busier. We were happy to see other parties in and out as January is very slow in the restaurant business. I dealt with someone on 3 occasions before we arrived and he assured me he woud make our dinner worth while. And he did. We ended up with one extra at the table designated for a comfortable 12 and that was okay. We also had our beloved SIL in a wheelchair to boot. We thought that would not be possible when we were expecting 20. Needles to say, we were not rushed, our food was excellent, we had good conversation around a round table and to add,.....it was a great experience. If ANYTHING, the room we were in could actual benefit from adding material or whatever on the walls, ceiling in order to cut way back on the noise. The table for 12 was far better than having 13 seated in a long table but noise barriers would help 100%. Thank you DRAGON COURT for an excellent experience You were recommeded by one of the folks who was at our table and did not disappoint.”
“Just wanted to give a shout out to Johnny. On Friday 1-16-26 my silver ladys had the experiece of having Johnny as our server. What an amazing young man. Very personable attentive to our needs and conversed in our conversation when we asked about life and dreams..Excellant server”
“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!”
“The restaurant is getting better has time goes.”
“We tried their pizza, wings, and samosa poutine, and everything was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfect, and the quality exceeded our expectations. My family loved every bite, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone craving amazing food and a memorable dining experience!”
“stopped by Tony's Corner to pick up a salad to go with dinner which I do often. I was served by 2 of the nicest young men, really sweet. Asked about my day. Made my salad exactly to order. The food is always outstanding and I just wanted to recognize the service as such. Good Job Gentlemen.”
“First time going there under the new ownership. Read online reviews that stated I can expect the same great food like it was under the previous owner. Slightly disappointed. Everything just tastes a little bit different. Vienna Schnitzel portion size was smaller & a little bit overdone. The potatoes undercooked on the inside, but over done on the outside - slightly burnt. I was happy to see they brought back the rye bread in the basket but sad to see I had to pay for my side salad. Choice was always soup or salad, now it’s just soup & pay extra for salad. Our server (Sam) was amazing. I will go back one more time & try again - maybe they were having an ‘off’ night. Everyone deserves a second chance.”

“At the st. Catharine’s location at the Pen Center. I’m here with my daughter. Had the wings and fries and the dessert Divide and conquer Belgian Waffle! The service is amazing but it’s a large place so we did approach the counter right away. It’s beautiful and clean. So many delicious things on the menu to choose! I highly recommend it!”
“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.”
“A more casual eving out during their happy hour offering. I might be a bit biased as I used to work at Kelseys 25 years ago, but one of the most consistent places to visit and have never been disappointed. Even more stalworthy are the retention of popular menu items during this period. To ight enjoyed their happy hour menu with a full tray of potato skins and chicken bites (didn't want to work through the bones) and a pint of Ruckards Red. No matter what your choice is I always recommend A Canadian classic in Kelseys.”
“I don’t ever really write reviews on restaurants unless they are consistent with their food quality and standards. So with that being said, this is the third time I’ve ordered with Timmy’s and I definitely need to acknowledge this place. My husband and I order the same thing every time (we don’t really like change lol) and every single time with the two kebabs and rice it is ABSOLUTELY perfect. They don’t miss. The food that comes out of their kitchen is obviously made with love and care because they never let a bad plate go out. I’m not big on rice. At all. But this rice, I can eat all day, every day. They put a type of red sauce on it and a white sauce too. But it’s not what you think. It’s not the typical shawarma red and white sauce you get when you order a wrap or a plate. It’s savoury red sauce with tomatos and a little bit of kick. The white sauce seems yogurt based and it pairs absolutely perfect with the rice. And the rice, isn’t your typical white rice. It seems marinated in a way that is exploding with flavour just on its own. And don’t even get me started on the kebabs!!!! They’re juicy and big and packed full of flavour. And they give you two massive kebabs! TWO! This meal is not only filling but absolutely delicious and I’ve been addicted to Timmy’s Tanur since the moment I tried it the first time. Whether you’re dining in, taking out, using Uber eats or door dash, this restaurant will NEVER disappoint. They even throw in a delicious pita to make sure you’re full! Absolutely wonderful! I recommend this place to everyone and anyone!!!”
“I just had a 60 person catering order and I was not disappointed. I’m Italian and my husband is Pakistani. I had nothing but rave reviews from everyone. I was having a hard time finding a good authentic Pakistani restaurant in Hamilton. We’re loaded with Indian restaurants which I also love. I do cook Pakistani food but for a night out or a function I will order from here again.”
“I don't usually leave reviews but I just wanted to comment on the amazing service I always receive when coming into Kelsey's. I am made to feel welcome and service is fast and accommodating. Cailen and Emily always make delicious drinks as well as provide fantastic recommendations! I look forward to coming back and hopefully being served by them again!”
“I am coming to this location all the time, because Devon provides outstanding service.
Very unlikely for a fast food environment she checks in with her customers during slower times to see if everything is to the guest’s satisfaction. She also takes complaints about the often dirty washrooms seriously and escalates the issue to Management right away.
Coming from customer service management myself, I would like to congratulate the owner of this location for having her on the team.”

“Had to try Bonito's with my lady. We tried different pizza's so we can share and all I can say is, once you try the awesome goodness of true Italian flavor, you will be going back. Oh and don't forget the Gelato. All exquisite!”
“I'm always greeted with a smile and the food is always so good. I make it a point to go in once a week. I would recommend the Ragada Samosa Chaat and the Ragada Aloo Tikki Chaat so far.”
“Lovely breakfast and brunch place. Restaurant was slammed but Shay handled us promptly with a smile. Jenna was also so hospitable and attentive! The food was excellent, especially the Hammy Benny with the pork belly and the french toast! Reservations recommended and def worth the wait. Good vibes!”
“We visited your café yesterday and everything was absolutely delicious. Our kids especially loved the sweet sandwich—it was their favorite! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food was truly amazing. We highly recommend the steak, coffee, and the chocolate cookie. We really enjoyed our time and will definitely come back again soon.thank you❤️😍”
“We visited Saigon House for lunch last week and were very impressed with the food and service. The restaurant was very clean, and we were greeted and seated right away upon arrival. There were a few other tables already dining, which created a nice atmosphere.
Our drink orders were taken promptly by a young gentleman who was very polite, and our food orders were taken shortly after our drinks arrived. We ordered appetizers along with our lunches. My husband had the pho, and I ordered a vermicelli dish. We started with the shrimp spring rolls, which were a 10/10, the flavours were spot on.
Everything we ordered was fresh, flavourful, and well prepared, and we left very happy with our experience. My only small wish is that they offered lunch specials. Will definitely be back!”

“This is the best chinese restaurant I have ever had! Super authentic and amazing tasting. Amazing service!
The fact that someone left this restaurant anything less than a 5 star review is mind blowing. I give this place a 10 star rating out of 5. Amazing. Thank you guys for the awesome service.”
“Delicious healthy Pizza Pasta options”
“Ok! So. I can’t describe even how AMAZING this matcha spot is. I just visited it eith my boyfriend after driving 20 mins to come. It’s real authentic matcha. The flavour is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. I got a matcha latte, and the pistachio matcha ice cream. Both delicious but the ICE CREAM is something everyone who decides to go should try. I’ve never tasted a treat aa good as this dessert. The girl was also very kind and helpful. 100/10. Well worth the drive and will be back regularly!!!”

“Amazing dining experience! Two people, lunch buffet. Upper James, Hamilton, ON. CAD $26, plus a senior's discount of 20%. Great value. Wonderful selections of appetizers, entrees, and desserts, including sushi and sashimi. Great taste. Great service. Hot hand towels before and after the meal is a nice touch. Clean washrooms. Can't beat the Mandarin restaurant for an overall great dining experience.”
