“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.”
Ramen • $$
“This was some of the best ramen that I have had. The atmosphere was great, however the place is a little cold as it is winter. The highlight of my experience was the awesome service since we were seated right away, our orders were taken quickly, and the food was produced promptly. The staff made sure that we were happy with our food. Out of 10 I would give this place a solid 8.7.”

“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…”
“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)”
“Amazing authentic Italian Small dining room, get there early Never had a bad meal there Whenever I’m in town it’s on the list”

The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, assisting us in selecting drinks that complemented our meals perfectly.I highly recommend visiting Barshala Hamilton for a complete dining experience that includes excellent food and a well-curated drink selection.”

“When you first arrive, Etno Bar & Grill might look like just an ordinary restaurant tucked away in a small mall—but don’t be fooled. OMG—step inside and you’ll be blown away!
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!”

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!!”

“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 had the lemon ricotta sourdough starter, still amazing, as were the mushroom dumplings and the BN Salad!

“Went in late night, because they're supposed to be open 24 hours. Girl at the counter said they only do online and phone orders at this time (about 245am). I asked for clarification that if I go out to my car and use my phone to order something, then it's ok but not with me standing right there. She said that was correct. "Open" sign was on, door was unlocked and there was food. I left because it wasn't worth the silliness.”

Thank you!”

“Pretty busy location. They are 24/7 now but you won’t find all the items there, they often don’t have some of the meals or products. Pretty small location at the gas station with the drive through. Service is average meaning check your order before you drive off. Staff is keep changing but I haven’t had a terrible experience there, just an average as we use this location very often.”

“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.”

“Yesterday evening, I visited the drive-thru after 6 PM and noticed that one team member appeared to be handling both taking orders and managing the window. Despite being busy, he remained calm and professional. I noticed his name tag said “Ayush,” and I politely asked him if he could personally prepare my simple cheese pizza.
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.”

Their coffee, matcha, and hojicha are all delicious, (one of the best matcha places in Hamilton) and they also have pastries that look amazing (though I haven’t tried them yet). Only thing I wish is that they offered different drink sizes because i’d definitely want a large matcha latte 😌 but overall it’s definitely a spot I’d recommend.”

We usually add on a dessert to our order which is almost always a punkaroo cookie! The cupcakes and cookies are always good too.

“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.”

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.”

With everything that the restaurant industry has been through this year, I went in there today with my daughter for a drink and some cookies. They were so friendly and said they wanted to give my daughter her treat for free. I have been fortunate enough to have not lost my job or taken a pay cut this year. I insisted on paying because I appreciate local business. Good on you for showing your true character and commitment to your customers. And thank you for taking my order ...it is far from the last.”

“I hosted a surprise party for my mom and needed catering done for approx 50 ppl. I spoke with Greek Palace and decided on ordering 5 grill platters (I maybe saying the menu item wrong). He did say that it will be alot of food and HE WAS NOT LYING. There was so much food for the event we were happy to tell guests to take food home. Everyone at the party loved it, potatoes, rice, chicken, pork and gyro meat was so delicious. I'd definitely recommend to my friends and family to get some food from Greek Palace for any future gatherings or dinners. Thank you guys for doing such an amazing job for us. I'd order from you again in heartbeat.”

“If you haven’t checked out Be Cafe & Barkery (previously “Bring Your Dog Cafe”) under its new management, you’re missing out! The new owner has done an incredible job revamping the place. 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! Bonus: the food is delish, nourishing and the menu is amazing—everything is made with quality ingredients and designed to be as intolerance-friendly as possible. Whether you or your pup have specific dietary needs, there’s something for everyone to enjoy without worry.”

“I was in Hamilton for a concert with my family, and I'd always heard that Hamilton was the best place to find an authentic Maritime donair. A quick Google search led me to this spot, and Lord tunderin, I wasn't disappointed! The donair speaks for itself, so you should go in and get one. It had the exact right amount of donair meat, so much of that authentic donair sauce, the ingredients were fresh, and the service was friendly. It was inexpensive and honestly, it took me right back to having donairs when I lived home in Newfoundland. 100% recommend this place; you should check it out!”

“We tried the Beef Shoyu Ramen, and wow—it was absolutely excellent! The broth was light yet flavorful, reminding me of the amazing ramen I had in Singapore. The balance of flavors was perfect, and the homemade spicy sauce was the cherry on the top.
If you’re looking for a place that serves authentic, high-quality ramen, Shiro Ramen is the spot. Probably the best ramen I had in Canada .The gyoza was also surprisingly good !
So happy with this place that we are going back tomorrow 😁”
Peruvian • $$
“We went to Peruviano for the first time tonight and we will definitely return. Both the service and the food was fantastic! We had the beef hearts and octopus for appetizers. For mains, my husband had the Aji De Gallina and I had Sudado de Pescado. I didn’t want any rice and was given the option of asparagus instead. The fish and asparagus were both cooked to perfection. My husband loved the chicken and enjoyed the fried cassava so much he asked for an order to take home. Portion sizes are generous. Looking forward to returning!”
Pizza • $$
“The service here was good. Waitresses were friendly and gave us complimentary bread while we waited for our food. The bread was rather mid tier- but free bread is free bread. We ordered the stuffed pizza, which is the Chicago style pizza. It takes 30mins- 45mins for them to make, so keep that in mind if that's what you're coming here for. The pizza was solid, although a little basic. (Probably because we just got one with cheese and sauce). Not sure how it compares to other Chicago style pizza, but still quite delicious.”

“Chef yoshi is amazing to his vegan customers. There are a few vegan options and they are all delicious. The restaurant itself only has a few main dishes so it’s a pretty good selection considering. If you have any worries you can 100% ask without judgment.”
Indian • $$
“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.”

“This was our first visit back since new management came in. We were very impressed with how warm and inviting the team was and their attention to detail. We had the lemon ricotta sourdough starter, still amazing, as were the mushroom dumplings and the BN Salad! We also share the Basque Cheesecake which was extraordinary and made in house, as all their food is. It was a lovely date night location and we look forward to visiting again!”

Italian • $$
“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.”

“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…”

“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!!”

Social distance policies were in place. I feel bad for these places during this time of lockdown. But if you are in the area, make sure to stop by for some food. You won't be disappointed. I can't wait until for them to be open fully again so I can experience the atmosphere of this place.”

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 😌”

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!”

“Really yummy sushi here. Got the bento box with tempura and substituted out the Cali roll for spicy salmon and I’m so glad I did because it was delicious! They add some extra salmon on top it was so good. Good portions for the price - I believe it was about $23 plus tax for the box. Also came with miso soup and rice pudding.
Am definitely going to be visiting this place again. Almost consider going out to Hamilton just for this sushi.
It was pretty busy on a Saturday night so some items took a while but worth it.”
“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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.

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.”
