Really enjoyed the food. The menu is not too overbearing and has just the right amount of choice…read more(although no turkey or beef sausage/bacon options). The food is really good however, both in presentation and taste. Service wise, the staff was very friendly and polite, although there was a 20 ish minute wait for a seat for 2 and another 25 minute wait to get the food. Granted we did go on a Sunday at 11 am so it was probably the busiest time of the week and the kitchen is perhaps on the smaller side. The ambiance itself is pretty homey, street parking isn't too hard to find. They sell some near merch and also source bread locally from a bakery nearby. Their patio was closed in the winter but definitely seems like a great spot in the summer. Overall, I enjoyed the place. The lack of non pork protein options keeps me away, but should that change, I'd like to revisit the patio in the summer. Should the protein options expand and wait times be reduced on my next visit, I'll be sure to update my review!

We stopped in for dinner and got a great spot by the window. I had the garlic pasta dish and my…read morehusband had the 4 oz burger and we shared a large Caesar salad. We loved the salad and scarfed it down - super crisp, awesome textures, tangy yum. I love their pasta so much and it's fun to see how they prepare and serve it. The shrimp were super small which made eating the dish easier. The flavors were delicious and I was left with lots of extra sauce. I should have asked for a side of bread to soak it up. I had a delicious highball with root beer and fernet. Service was excellent as usual. Love the vibes and tunes. The patio is gorgeous as well. Looking forward to more. Bonus points for serving the surrounding neighborhood - very convenient, needed, reliably fresh and delicious.

When ordering, I highly recommend pairing a small plate or companion with a larger plate! I ordered the Pork Belly Barbacoa and shared a small plate of Olive Oil and Rosemary Focaccia. The yogurt in the pork belly had a tarte and creamy texture, and it paired beautifully with the focaccia, which I used to scoop out the rest of the yogurt. The dessert menu was small but mighty. I had a strawberry crème brûlé with ice cream (great for sharing if you just want a little treat). Drink were great. I'm a sucker for anything with lavender.

I sent it back for another one that came out raw as well, we had the second one put back in the oven and took it to go. I should have looked more closely at it before leaving, because when I was home I found the crust was still raw and inedible. It was the first and only time I have ever had to send food back at a restaurant. Our server relayed a message from the kitchen suggesting we request our pizza "well done" in future.

Pizza!!! For the…read morelove of pizza. But also bread. But it was all a ok. Better late than never to finish this review! Came in between shift changes. They had no coffee. Or at least they didn't have any. Waited for 30 minutes for drip. No refills. Pizza were loaded. Not traditional or anywhere close. Kitchen sink/ was literal kitchen sink. Only thing missing was kitchen sink. Loaded fries were loaded. It was better than the pizza. The itself was casual. Came here during a heavy rain so no patio. It wasn't busy but not empty. Bread / bakery part looks good though. Server : first one was super nice: she had siblings and love babies. Second one was older, almost could by a grandma that doesn't like children. Her vibe was just off. Over all, A OK!!

Always looking for a new breakfast place so when I saw donut diner in Yelp, I decided it was time…read more Although I've been living in the Hamilton area for over 50 years, I've never gone to this restaurant, although my father-in-law used to buy donuts here . I was very impressed by the decor (very retro). After sitting for a few minutes, my friend and I ordered and within a short while we got our food. Fantastic amount and real fried potatoes not like the ones you get from the fast food restaurants. Price was right and service was excellent. No wonder the place has survived for so many years. I've been back a couple of times since and never disappointed. A must try.

Overall the diner is setup like a typical, simple, breakfast diner, but they have The Flintstones playing on the TVs. There's lots of seating, so I have never had to wait. Servers are always happy, quick to refill coffees, and pleasant. The menu has lots of options to pick from. They have a large dinner menu too. The food is simple- so if you are looking for something seasoned or with very bold/unique flavour profiles this is not the place for you. The Bedrock Bistro is great if you're looking for affordable, well-portioned, classic breakfast food in Hamilton.
