The George Hamilton

Recently ordered delivery from this restaurant, and although the food was hot and delivered quickly it was inedible. The Caesar dressing for the salad had gone rancid, I took one bit of the salad and had to toss it, I was incredibly disappointed. Then the fish had a spongy texture and overly fishy smell to it, which also made me want to wretch upon taking a bite of it.
I was so incredibly disappointed with this meal, I have eaten here in the past, and had a decent meal. But after this debacle, I will not be returning.

Gord and I had supper this evening at the George Hamilton. It’s in a 160-​year-​old building and according to one of its window’s, it’s Hamilton’s oldest pub.
It was fairly quiet when we got there. But within an hour, it was jammed with a waiting list because of the Garth Brooks concert across the street.
Gord and I both ordered Fish & Chips. The fries and fish were good.
Page was our server and she was friendly. Even when it got really busy, she still took excellent care of us.

Went here with my dining group
.Atmosphere– When I tried to get in from the King St doors I thought «oh no! What kind of place have I taken my group to? Once I walked around to the bay St entrance I was quite relieved. The inside was a very nice space. the waitress greeted us with a big warm smile.
Food– Only 1 appetizer today– The shrimp in a Citrus sauce– — My friend liked it but was hoping for some zip (heat) to it. I like milder dishes so I may try that one if I get back here again. Our mains today included– 1) Steak and Guinness pot pie– The top looked perfect and the report on the inside was favourable. 2) Soup and salad– Salads were nice but split pea and bacon soup was on the thin side and «Where is the bacon? «They could taste it but could not find a morsel. 3) Beef dip sandwich– Good overall. A lot of beef but one friend thought it was a little too salty for his tastes. 4) quinois salad with goat cheese– Very good and quite a large dish of it. 5) Teriyaki stir fry– Vegetables were cut too large– outsides were soggy and inside was raw. Sauce was good. 6) Chicken goat cheese wrap-​ok. but dry. 7) Fish and chips– Fish was very nicely battered and not greasy at all. Side-​French fries– These come in many flavours. Dill, garlic and ptarmigan, poutine, and pulled pork. We all liked the garlic and parm. I think next time I will try the dill. t sounds good.
Service– the waitress was A! she was excited about the menu and that in turn made us excited. I would go back again because of her enthusiasm. There were a few choices on this menu I would like to try like– pecan crusted chicken in cream sauce, beet salad and the burgers. my daughter told me to try that and I didn’t listen. Next time.

The Fennel location served extremely poor tasting lunch to my coworkers and I. I had a pasta, which overall was awful in taste and my coworker had a poutine which was mushy and gross. We would probably not return. Little to no parking, fairly expensive.

Quick stop on business trip. House salad with vinaigrette dressing was nothing short of tremendous. I had the sticky chicken flatbread (BBQ). Again, didn’t disappoint. Sauce was amazing. Service here was on point. Definitely will come back!

The old look and feel was a great atmosphere to eat and drink. The new look and feel is just simply better.
We stumbled across this place once and it was good but now it’s great! We order the Flatbread Pulled Pork appetizer and it was something different but real tasty. It had a strong bbq sauce taste but still amazing.
To eat, one of us had a burger which was amazing. A chicken sandwich dripping in sauce in a crispy bun. Also with lettuce greens and tomatoes. A must have.
I ordered the Chicken and Goat Cheese Wrap and within the first bite, your mouth explodes with the sudden and strong taste of Portuguese goat cheese. A very filling wrap, especially with a specialty fries and a appetizer before hand. Very well done wrap and neat. Not to many sauces causing the wrap to stay in place.
The music at the bar/​restaurant is all controlled by an iDJ. A subscription based music player the has no adds that anyone can add songs to the playlist for a super small fee. Just watch out for the bar regulars who don’t have a good taste in music and love Steve Miller over Fleet Wood Mac or the classical sound of The Beatles. (THEY WILL ARGURE OVER MUSIC FOR 15 MIN and think they are doing a «bang up job»)

Stumbled upon The George Hamilton after the JUNOs. Super friendly service, unpretentious, and delicious food — this can be a feat on a busy night! The manager personally thanked us for choosing his establishment. Will totally come by again the next time I’m in Hamilton.

The burgers arw amazing, the GarPar fries are fantastic and the Goat Cheese Turine is to DIE for!
This resteraunt has great atmosphere, friendly staff and an amaxing chef!
If you’re in town, make sure you visit this place!

We ordered the crab rolls to start with. They were good but nothing spectacular. My husband ordered the wings which were good, maybe a bit dry. He had the medium bbq and teriyaki sauce, both of which were good. If youre hungry order 2 lbs because you only get 8 wings with 1lb. I ordered thr fish and chips. The fish had very little or no seasoning in the breading. It was a very good sized portion but couldve stood some more flavor. There was so much breading that the part by the fish was soggy. The fries were pretty good. They have options for seasoned fries but i did not order those.

Great poutine. They make all their sauces in house and the soup and salad combo was tasty. House draught was ok but nothing to write home about (a kind of watery lager). Overall a hidden gem.

We went here for dinner due to the fact it was close to our hotel. The service was excellent and you could tell it was under new management. They are trying to give the downtown a new look and name, and we think we should always support that. Although we are from out of town, we wanted to help this new owner get the respect he deserves.
Our appetizer was wonderful and the drinks were nice pours for Canada LOL, but our dinners were not the best, sadly they were out of what we ordered but we understood since it was an off night and they wanted to have fresh. All and all it was a very enjoyable meal.
There were regulars at the bar, and the whole vibe is nice.
We liked it better than the other well know place right down the street… Check it out if you are in the area. The manager Bruce Cale was very nice chatting with us, and he had a genuine appreciation of preserving the downtown area of Hamilton, I wish him all the luck and we know it can be done… Being from Southern n Cal we have seen it done in Sand Diego and many other cities. Best of Luck… to the GH
