When we asked our friends from Hamilton what the best place to get a burger would be, all of them responded with HAMBRGR. Unfortunately, we weren't able to dine in since we were busy that evening, so we went for takeout instead. I had an El Diablo; it's the one with jalapenos and bacon and is the generally spicy option. It was fantastic: I am always a fan of Monterey jack. They did a really good job of making the patty smoky and juicy. Overall, it was well done. (unlike the patty, which was probably rare) I would love to dine in person should the opportunity present itself. read more

Great burgers and drinks! The space is fun, albeit a little cramped. Seats are very uncomfortable

I've ordered to pick up !! Loved the rich flavor of the patties. Fried pickles for sharing was to die for! And home fries are to the pint

One of the best burgers and fries iv had from a restaurant great service the place is amazing location busy restaurants but worth the visit

Solid cheese burger for about $15 on hipster Ottawa Street in Hamilton. Need a snack while shopping for your vintage, nerdy, artisanal, aunt or uncle? Or maybe a power boost after the Farmers Market on Saturdays? Go here because the burgers are superb, there's even a huge patio (dates to preCOVID too!). Pro tip: the unusual toppings is what makes this place so special. read more

Great choice. I came across this restaurant in an article that was highlighting top places to eat in Hamilton and then I went on their Instagram and almost every picture looked mouth-watering There is two of us we ordered the duck wings buffalo cauliflower white sauce poutine and the 3 a.m. Burger The duck wings were very tender and they came with two sauces what I believe is a barbecue sauce and the other was a white aioli sauce, the sauce is what made the dish without the sauce the wings alone would have been quite boring The buffalo cauliflower was one of my favourite dishes the buffalo sauce was extremely tiny but that's how I like it and it came with jalapenos on top I complemented the dish so well The white sauce poutine is basically a shawarma poutine it came with chicken shawarma slices cheese curds a lighter gravy it wasn't your regular poutine gravy garlic sauce and it all complemented each other so well it is a shareable portion two people can share that and be satisfied The 3 a.m. Burger comes with pesto sauce balsamic lettuce tomato, the party itself was slightly on the dry side and there was a little too much balsamic on the burger because it overpowered the other tastes Overall it was a pleasant experience with tentative staff/customer service read more

I have been twice now within the past two months and both times were excellent food and excellent service! Plus it's a fun atmosphere with a mix of people, young and old, enjoying late 90s/early 00s music. It's just all around a great vibe. So first of all, they have a great selection of drinks. I went in my first time dead set on ordering a milkshake and then I saw a Root Beer Mule on the menu and just HAD to have itt. It was quite good. With that said, I also learned that this place not only has some of my favourite beers on tap (Fruli and Delirium) but they actually mix them together for what is basically one of the most perfect beer experiences there is. So, my second time I got the Frulirium as they call it and was very happy. Still haven't tried a milkshake yet so that is definitely on the docket for next time...and there will be a next time. As far as their appetizers go, I have tried the Tater Tot Fondue, the Duck Wings (with Hoison Sauce), the P'Gos and the Cauliflower. Honestly, all of them were great. There is not one that I would say to pass up because they're quite different so it all depends on what you're in the mood for. However, any is likely to please. If you twisted my arm, I'd say the Tater Tot Fondue is my favourite but that's just because I love cheese...and the ketchup they make is also awesome! As for burgers, I had the #Hamont 2.0 the first time and the You're My Boy, Blue the second time. While the Hamont was good, I messed up and added a fried egg to mine which ended up being the focus instead of the burger. The second time I had my burger as it is on the menu and it was awesome. Just such an amazing balance of flavours between the creamy blue cheese, the sweet pear jam, the crunchy caramelized onions all on an awesome burger patty cooked just right. They know burgers here and each one has clearly been crafted to get the most out of the dish. That's why even if you don't love everything on the burger, I recommend just getting it as is on the menu because the flavour combinations may surprise you. For instance, I am not a huge fan of crispy onions but here they not only added texture but also a nice counterbalance to the other flavours. One other thing...the prices may seem a bit high but you get what you pay for and the quality is well worth the cost. Not to mention you can save by skipping the fries since these burgers are filling! read more

Tried the Hambrgr burger joint tonight with the family. We ordered the Nashville burger,the Animal friendly (vege) burger, a pound of Gar Parm fries and 8th deadly sin shake. The Nashville chicken burger was pretty good. The Animal friendly burger, the gar parm fries and the shake weren't special at all. The prices were rather steep. I probably wouldn't visit them again. read more

Went in here tonight for dinner. There are quite a few high tip tables along the wall, and a couple lower tables at the back. The place has a unique fresh look with the bar looking very cool. Our server, Julia, was nice and talked about the special burger of the evening. We checked out the menu and noticed quite of few different beef burgers, a couple veggie burgers, and a couple chicken sandwiches. We went with the Nut Job black bean burger and Nashville Hot chicken sandwich, as well as the regular poutine. The poutine came up in 10 minutes and it was a good size (for $7) and had a good amount of cheese and gravy. The fries were crispy and it all tasted very well. The burgers came out in 20 minutes. The Nut Job bean burger was thick but very dry, and crumbly. It all fell apart once we cut the burger in half. The chicken sandwich had a soft waffle on it, that seemed to be a little soggy. What was really surprising was how thin the chicken was (see picture); it was just a few millimeters thick! I felt ripped off for paying $13 bucks for a chicken sandwich with barely any chicken in it. I told the server how I felt, and she just said "they only use a 6oz piece of chicken". I suggested they use a much bigger piece! Our check came, $36 before tip, for 2 burgers and a poutine. read more

Not living in Hamilton, Hambrgr was absolutely not on my radar at all, but an appearance on Big Food Bucket List ensured that I'd be making the trek there one of these days. That day came on a recent Saturday afternoon, and boy oh boy was it worth the drive. We showed up just after noon and the place was pretty empty. I knew walking in exactly what I wanted - I mean, of course I was gonna get what John Catucci ate on the show - so when the waitress came around for our drink orders, I went ahead and asked for the #Hamont ("double 1/4lb patties, grilled onions, 'merican cheese, mustard glazed bacon, brgr sauce, iceberg"). We also ordered wanted some fries, so we got the Half & Half option ("classics & sweets, sambal mayo & old school ketchup"). The food arrived a short while later and it was, to put it mildly, amazing. This was one of the best burgers I've eaten in a while. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, while the various accompanying components all complemented it perfectly. The bacon and brgr sauce were especially delicious. The fries, which arrived mixed up in the same basket, were equally tasty, although it was a little disappointing that they didn't arrive to the table hot. I really, really loved the sambal mayo. I want to eat that with my fries all the time now. I hope that Brgr makes its way to Toronto one of these days, because I can easily see myself making the joint a regular haunt. read more

This is a great spot to stopover on the drive from Toronto to Niagara (or beyond). The service was very prompt and attentive. The food was also great! Got the Buffalo cauliflower as that seemed to be a popular item. It was tasty and also a big portion. The pickled jalapeños are a must with every bite. They have a big selection of burgers with unconventional toppings. We got the 514 burger which had a beef patty topped with Montreal smoked brisket and shoestring fries. Textural wonderland! The smoked brisket added another depth of flavour. The only negative was the buns were too buttered for my liking. I would ask for less next time. We also got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The white meat was moist and juicy but chicken was not brined so it was lacking in flavour. The sandwich relied heavily on the sauces and pickles, and if you didn't get a pickle in your bite, it was a bit underwhelming. Also the sandwich didn't taste spicy at all for a Nashville hot chicken. We will stick to the burgers section next time, chicken is likely not worth trying. read more

So we ordered at 5:50pm and the Uber driver showed up and waited until 8:45pm and it showed up 6min later COLD! And melted shakes.. we rebooked the food and our family ate dinner after 9pm.

My friends have been talking about Hambrgr for so long, and I'm so glad I finally went!! There is an outdoor patio but it was too cold to eat outside so we sat inside - everyone's tables were very spaced out. My friend is vegetarian and he insisted on ordering the cauliflower wings. They were seriously so good! The batter, sauce, and cheese were a perfect garnish. I didn't know what to order so I got the hog-town, lots of protein! It was 2 beef and 2 pork patties with barbecue sauce and hickory sticks. Probably the best burger I've ever had! The sweet potato fries were AMAZING and I'd probably come back just for them. If you're in the area there's also a spacious parking spot across the street. read more

Lovely place amazing atmosphere! Definitely recommend! :) The service was quick and friendly!

Awesome place to eat and drink, not to mention thier patio on a nice breezy day. Thier fries and hamburgers are so yummy and very filling.

JUICY! A cliched word to describe a good burger, but it was quite possibly the juiciest burger I've ever had. Since this place is called "Hambrgr", let's cut right to chase with their namesake. I ordered the "not a taco". Everything about the description appealed to me ("asada-spiced patty, jack cheese, picked onions, avocado..."), but I chose to go with a regular bun than the gordita bun. I also decided to add some jalapeño, which they say is pickled in house. From the taste, along with the onions, I would vouch for that claim as there's something about in-house pickling which has freshness to the taste. As I said, this burger was juicy and the taste was incredible. I guess the only downside of that is that it made the aioli run with it, and then started to make a bit of mess. Still worth it IMO, and it wasn't just some fatty burger, but real high-grade beef. I tasted my wife's chicken burger. It looked somewhat ordinary, but at the first bite I took it was clear that they had marinated the patty well in advance. Full of taste, wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked. So why not a perfect rating? I think the poutine was good, but the fries were almost frites-style which isn't my first pick for poutine. The cheese curds never fully melted either. Wonderful taste to the gravy though. I'd still give the place 5 stars regardless on the strength of the burger, but they really need to improve the wait time. I was in for only a table of 2 and they said a 35 minute wait. We ended waiting closer to an hour for the table. We probably didn't see our burgers for nearly an hour and a half from the time we first came in which is too long - especially for a burger place. They have lots of wait staff who do a terrific job; but I think they only had 4 people working in the (open) kitchen. From the size of the kitchen, I don't even know if they can do anything about this, but from my experience, it is far too short on a busy Saturday night for a place that can seat about 50. Still, I have to end it on the positive note, as it was just a top, top burger. Definitely check this place out - but give yourself a bit of time, especially on the weekend. read more

Tasty, tasty, tasty! The Californication veggie burger is simply delish. I was not real excited to go to what I figured was an overblown trendy spot for lunch but the food and the service changed my mind. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was better than you'd expect. We shared a basket of garlic Parmesan fries, which were quite flavourful, and each had a side green salad, which was larger than most. The burger itself featured a beet and quinoa patty with goat cheese and some rather tasty condiments. Mmmm! I wouldn't hesitate to go back! read more

I really like this place. It went with my husband and everything was really good. I found a milkshake to be a little too rich. I think a lot of places tend to use a lot of ice cream so it tastes more like liquid ice cream then milkshake in my mind. It was a very pricey place to go to but it was very delicious. They have a lot of crazy toppings but I like standard traditional condiments and my husband doesn't like anything on his Burger sometimes just some barbecue sauce. We both ordered the fairly plain burgers and the waiter didn't seem to be particularly on board with that thinking we were crazy going to some place like that for something so plain suggested we try something else. I don't like crazy burgers there's nothing else that even appeals to me a little bit I just like a good well made burger and they're plain Burger was that. read more

Went with a friend. Burgers were dripping with oil. Both of us were sick by the time we got home.

My friend recommended Hambrgr as he goes all the time and said their burgers are amazing. He was not wrong!! As an appetizer, we ordered the bacon fat popcorn. The popcorn is popped in bacon fat and sprinkled with cheese. It was really tasty and if you like bacon I totally recommend this! As for their burgers, they have a great selection. My husband got the chef smash. Each week, they have a new burger on the menu for that week. His had hash browns, bacon and eggs on the burger, I tried it and we both loved it! I got the classic burger with brgr sauce and it was delicious! The brgr sauce reminded me of big Mac sauce. We also got a classic poutine which was good! Comparable to most restaurants. And to top it all off we got a Nutella milkshake, you can say we splurged a little!! The milkshake was AMAZING!! I am a Nutella lover so for me, this was sooo good. It was the perfect consistency and the nutella flavour mixed with the creamy ice cream was perfect. I highly recommend trying out this restaurant if you're in Hamilton. The seating area was pretty small but we went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't too busy so we got a seat right away. Come to think of it. They may have had an upstairs as well, I did see a staircase. Prices were very fair and reasonable. Staff was polite and friendly! read more

I wanted to like this place so bad. Like the first time I was ever in Hamilton I heard about this place and wanted to go here. Today was the day and I was rev'ed up. Fully expecting a knock your socks off lunch and I was let down, HARD. The ambience here is 100% hipster as expected and as someone from Vancouver I am used to it and I like it. No issues here, other than they were not really pleasant or welcoming. The guy behind the bar looked at us and then left us waiting a few minutes before greeted by /seating by us even though he didn't appear to be doing anything. The server was a good 10 minutes before she visited our table to see if we wanted drinks or were ready to order. The space is a little odd very long and skinny by they definitely make it work. The smell is incredible and makes your mouth water. Their snacks menu is amazing and we really had a hard time choosing our appetizer. We decided to get with the Cheesy Poofs. It was a good call. They are spectacular, one of those dishes that you go to a restaurant simply because you are craving that one item. Crispy deep fried, gooey, spicy, oozing cheese nothing but love for these things. Unfortunately that was were the good times ended. We both ordered the Hamont Burger and an order of Garlic Parm fries to share. When the burgers arrived we were hyped they were straight off the grill and I swear sizzling hot. First thing we noticed was I ordered my burger without lettuce but they brought both without lettuce. Otherwise looked great, that was until we picked them up and took a bite. All of a sudden copious amounts of grease proceeded to drip out. Don't get me wrong you expect some grease but this was outrageous (check out my attached video). It started to pool and harden within a few minutes and there was so much we both stopped eating cause it was so unappealing. We went for the fries and realized even though we ordered Garlic Park we got regular ones. We were going to say something however unfortunately the sever never stopped by the table to see how everything was. So we left unsatisfied, unhappy and unimpressed. read more

The bartender said that she couldn't steer us wrong on the menu. Recommending the Maui Wowee burger (piled HIGH with crispy onions, pulled pork and grilled pineapple) as her personal favourite- it was unreal.

I've been drooling at pics of the burgers from this place on social media for a while now and finally came to check this little gem out. This is the second location which opened up fairly recent and I'm sure it won't be long before there're will be a need for a third! Got seated immediately and fell in love with the vibe of this place. All the staff seemed super friendly and out server was great. The selection of local craft beer was outstanding and even found a local Hamilton one I hadn't heard of. (A rarity!) The menu had something to offer for everyone that included items for those with dietary restriction. Our food arrived quickly and it was a glorious meal! Almost shed a tear once face to face with this burger. The burger was fresh not frozen and was cooked perfectly for my liking-charred in the outside with a teeny bit of pink on the inside. Ordered poutine to share with the Mr. Which was the best I've had in a while. Oh that rich dark brown gravy!! I will definately be back and would highly recommend Hambrgr for all your burger cravings. read more

My overall experience at this place wasn't very enjoyable. The guy that greeted us wasn't very pleasant at all. Our server wasn't very attentive and not very friendly. We ordered jalapeño cheesy poofs they came out quick and were quite delicious. Our food showed up not to far along after. There was just two of us and we ordered the same burger my girlfriend had made a change to her burger (no lettuce) well they decided to make them to both burgers. Not the end of the world. When I told her to she made a bit of a fuss about it. But resolved it. We ordered the Hamont burger which looked great but when it came out the burger was dripping with grease because of the fried onions. It was leaking out and was the greasiest burger I have ever eaten. Neither one of us finished our burgers as they were just dripping with grease. The worst part of it was the waitress saw that we didn't finish but yet didn't even bother to ask if it was ok or anything of the mater. We also ordered the garlic parm fries but were served just regular we didn't mention anything considering the lettuce situation. Our overall experience wasn't very great here may try it again in the future but cannot guarantee it. read more

Visited this located 3 times now since it opened.. and my experience has been consistent every time! It wasn't too busy last night, but they only had 4 tables that can seat more than 2 people, so we had to wait a bit. We weren't in a hurry so we didn't mind. There are so many options to try there, but I eventually decided to Build my Own Burger last night - I chose bacon, smoked gouda, burger sauce (their take on McD's big mac sauce), crispy onions, beer braised garlic mushrooms, lettuce and tomato. Oh and a side of GarParm fries! This was one of the best burgers I've had.. the patty perfectly cooked to my liking - slightly charred on the outside and juicy on the inside! They do smash burger patties, and they do it well! If you are visiting on weekends, definitely expect to wait since this location is still fairly new. I was told they will be opening up another section for more seating so I hope that happens soon :) Anyway, if you are on the hunt for solid burgers and good apps/snacks, this is the place to visit! read more

Happy to know there are more than just one location in Hamilton for Hambrgr, such an awesome spot to bring friends/family for amazing burger creations! The Ottawa St. location was quite roomy and even had an outdoor patio during the summer time! Located on Ottawa St. (so unfortunately parking will have to be on the street or pay at nearby Green P parking lots). I've been to Hambrgr a few times now and I just love their burgers - really filling but very good flavours and toppings! I also am obsessed with the "Bacon Fat Popcorn" - such a unique popcorn flavour but it was sooo good! Overall, great spot to visit whenever in Hamilton! read more
