Best Diners in Hamilton

"After an extensive renovation, gone are the mismatched chairs and funky wallpaper in favour of a modern take on nautical themed breakfast and lunch. This east coast warf inspired spot now serves breakfast earlier, starting at 8 am on Fridays to Mondays and 9 am the rest of the week. They serve up all the favourites — bacon and eggs, pancakes, hashbrowns, and eggs benedict."

"Just two blocks from Hamilton’s scenic harbourfront is Harbour Diner, a cosy brunch spot with real homespun charm. Served daily until 11am and well into the afternoons on weekends, their breakfast menu is full of playfully named classic items, like ‘the all aboard’ egg dish with bacon, sausage, ham, pancakes and homefries."

"locals line up for juicy menu items such as a better-than-mom’s meatloaf and mash and a big and meaty, super chees... Air Date: 01-20-2012"

"You'll taste the difference at Breezy's thanks to their from-scratch approach to fresh, quality ingredients. You'll find generous portions of all the breakfast classics (and a great kid's menu) at this family run operation with locations in both Freelton (close to Christie Lake and Valens Conservation Areas) and the east end near Gage Park."

"This diner-inspired, family-run restaurant has a little bit of something for all ages and appetites. The restaurant’s colour palette is orange and grey with wood and chrome accents. There’s plenty of space to accommodate guests, with a multitude of tables and booths to choose from."

"The homestyle cooking of Jack & Lois lives on in its Westdale reincarnation, Pete & Kay. This double-decker restaurant serves your grandparents’ cooking in a totally nut-free menu. You’ll feel the nostalgia amongst their homey, vintage décor, which includes patterned wallpaper, 70s upholstered dining chairs, landscape paintings, and family portraits."

"A post shared by Adrian (@daftm3) on Oct 4, 2015 at 9:54am PDT. All-day breakfast is served from 8 am to 4 pm at the corner of John and King William, brought to you from the same owners of Jet Cafe. Their $4.99 breakfast special includes two eggs, toast, homefries, and a choice of bacon, ham, or sausage (without meat is $3.95)."

"John Street Diner takes a cafeteria-style approach and specializes in all-day breakfasts. The owners’ experience as restauranteurs – John Street Diner was opened by the same masterminds behind the beloved Jet Café – is evident in every visit. The service is friendly, and the food hits the spot."

"Beauty RN consists of staffs that are pioneers in the aesthetic business. They are delighted to be a sought-after dermatological, cosmetic and full body therapy service. They use only state-of-the-art technologies approved by the FDA, as well as medically-approved products."

"Joie Day Spa started operating in 2019 with a goal of making a meaningful impact, one visitor at a time. They try to be as inclusive as possible, and well come everyone with a warm and friendly attitude. Understanding that a day at the spa is a time for relaxation, they ensure that everyone experiences outstanding time while they provide you with your treatment."

"Craft beer fans in Dundas love the lagershed line of craft beers at Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. on 65 Hatt St. Shawn Till and Ed Madronich restored this historic Dundas brick building for their brewery. The building was 150 years old and badly needed work. The masthead out front shows 65 Hatt Street was originally built as a curling and skating rink."

"A successful Kickstarter campaign helped kick off brewing operations in this old ice rink in downtown Dundas. The result is a spacious tasting room with gorgeous soaring ceilings and large tables for gathering and sipping. Of note is their award-winning Barrelshed series – beers aged in wine barrels to give them a unique character."

"Clifford has been providing delicious beer to nearly a hundred licensed establishments since 2015. However, in a way they are the newest brewery on this list as they just moved into a permanent location on Nash Road only a few months ago. It will be open to the public later this January and I’m excited to see what new beers they come up with."

"Brad Clifford first launched Clifford Brewing Company in Hamilton in January, 2015. The new brewery opened in the Fall of 2017, while its taproom and retail store welcomed guests in 2018. The space was formerly a mattress factory and when purchased was just an open industrial space."
