    Solid! We went for lunch with the kids. Nice atmosphere and very clean. Top notch service and very quick. Manager checked on us too. Kids loved their meals. Wife had fish and chips, i had the chicken club ... both were great.

    No complaints but it wasn't a w o w. Clean and stylish. I enjoyed their Canada Day lobster dip but their wraps are not worth the price.

You enter in to see clean, modern aesthetic cafe vibes and a rack of freshly baked sourdough from Dear Grain. The cafe connects to its outdoor seating area and feels a bit like a secret garden. There's a variety of baked goods, food, and drinks to choose from. Their espresso tends to be on the mellower side - I think it's a medium body, mild & balanced, and pairs well with milk. If you're into pour overs, Detour has an incredible selection of their own coffee bean roasts. Not a coffee fan? No problem. I also recommend this spot to pick up the best artisan style sourdough I've had in this area (if you're not close to Dear Grain Commissary in downtown Hamilton). Crunchy crust and the softest sourdough inside. Perfect for a fancy sandwich or to add to a charcuterie board! You won't regret it.

Having been back here close to a dozen times over the last decade, I can firmly say this place is the perfect combination of gastro-ingenuity and traditional staples done right. The vibe is "industrial chic," which is essentially code for "I'm feeling something fancy, but still want to be able to visit in my Kirkland shorts." The food has a heavy focus on local ingredients, with flavors that are incredibly tight and well-balanced. The steak frites are so tender I'm pretty sure they were cut with a polite suggestion rather than a knife. The scallops are meaty and perfectly cooked. And of course the burger is absolutely mouthwatering and make it the tempting default option during each visit. The appetizers are all fantastic, Kat and the Korean cauliflower takes the cake! For desert, their house cheesecake is phenomenal, and their in house amber ale is full and flavourful. Our server was on the ball; the water was never empty, and the check ins were always at the right time. Verdict: 10/10. If you want western food with a fun twist and high quality ingredients, this is one spot you must check out!

The service was great, our server gave us a free latte because their coffee machine took forever to work. I got a hazelnut old fashion and it tasted amazing. The food was delicious, we got Huevos Rancheros (instead of tofu I opted for chorizo) and a Chorizo Benedict. Both the dishes were flavorful and came with crispy potatoes. I would recommend this place!

This restaurant is a step up from greasy all day breakfast diners. It has a clean, modern feel with much light coming from the windows. We ordered the classic Western Sandwich with homefries, and Three Egg Breakfast with bacon and homefries. The standard orders come with a choice of white or brown bread. Rye bread is extra. It would have been good for the server to mention the up-charge when presenting and asking customers if they prefer white, brown or rye even though there is small text on the menu. It's a modest amount, but many restaurants seem to forget or hide the fact that they will charge more for certain items. Other restaurants I've been to include rye bread in the price. Overall, pricing was reasonable and I like that the food was not greasy. Service was a little slow as there were two servers covering the restaurant on a weekday for lunch. However, I would recommend this place and return.

I decided with the Reuben sandwich since it's one of their recommended picks, and it totally lived up to it. The sandwich was packed with smoked meat, sauerkraut, and just the right amount of Thousand Island dressing, all grilled up on perfectly toasted rye. It came with coleslaw and fries, but I swapped mine for home fries because, honestly, when you're in a diner, you go with home fries. And they didn't disappoint... crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and nicely seasoned. Even with a bunch of us, service was super quick and everything came out hot and fresh. The portions were solid, the prices were fair, and the whole experience just felt easy and satisfying. Definitely one of those places you leave full and happy. Would come back in a heartbeat.
