Burlington, ON: Easterbrooks Hotdog Stand - "More than a hotdog stand - a Hamilton-Burlington institution"

2009-09-28T05:53:18-07:00

Review of Easterbrooks Hotdog Stand at 694 Spring Gardens Road, Burlington, ON

One of your first teenage dates might have included a hotdog and fries at Easterbrooks. Today you can take your grandkids and the family dog there for a Stoney Creek Dairy cone and a ‘dog’.This white clapboard building, formerly a post office has a quirky atmosphere that...

Review of Com Tan Lac Vien at 430 York Blvd, Hamilton, ON L8R

by becfin:

I love pho, the national soup dish of Vietnam.. I’ve been searching for my favourite bowl of this superb soup that is chock-a-block with rice noodles, basil, lemongrass, bean sprouts and almost endless selections of protein, e.g,. beef, pork, solely vegetables, tofu, etc.My visit...

Review of Lemon Grass Restaurant at 1300 Garth St, Hamilton, ON L9C

by becfin:

This restaurant is a popular one in Hamilton. The food is tasty, reliable and service, although sometimes ‘backed up’ when busy is usually very efficient.I always enjoy a pot of green tea that is shareable with your guest. Good starts I have enjoyed are rice wrappers with ...

Hamilton, ON: Mark's Chinese Food & Tavern - "Uninspired North American Chinese food"

2009-04-13T12:58:19-07:00

Review of Mark's Chinese Food & Tavern at 468 King St W, Hamilton, ON L8P

by becfin:

I’ve had two take-out meals from Mark’s. One dinner I ordered myself and the second I politely ate as a guest at a friend’s home.I know Mark has a considerable following but I found the food most unappetizing. The vegetables were chunked in irregular sizes, the sauce...

2009-03-25T16:26:49-07:00

Review of My Dog Joe at 1020 King St W, Hamilton, ON L8S

by becfin:

Give yourself (and a friend) a treat, and go to My Dog Joe, a great coffee cafe in Westdale. I’m sure that My Dog Joe has established a group of regular patrons since its opening. I love the atmosphere here: most of the equipment is used and all of the furniture is recycled. The...

Review of Sushi Day at 15 Cannon St E, Hamilton, ON L8L

by becfin:

One wintry day recently II stopped to pick up some sushi for lunch. Sushi Day, the small restaurant at Cannon and James Street North, was almost full. The “All you can eat’ buffet seems to be the lure – lots of food.I don’t enjoy buffets and I didn’t really enjo...

Review of Little Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant at 66 Mall Rd, Hamilton, ON L8V

by becfin:

This location used to house a Lebanese restaurant that had mediocre food but a great belly dancer on the weekend. (Really). Today it’s a fine Vietnamese restaurant. It’s very clean, comfortable seating with tables well spaced. I admittedly have a ‘thing’ about...

by becfin:

La Luna used to be a few blocks east of its present location and was a popular bar and entertainment spot for local bands and also had a Lebanese restaurant on the opposite side of the room. I enjoyed eating there during the day and spent time in the evenings enjoying the local musical colour...
