Food was good, but what the portions are ridculous and the kitchen can't keep up if there is a busy night.

Our group of 6 took advantage of a discount voucher to have dinner and see a couple of bands. What better way to check out a new establishment!! The place was very busy. Our 7:30pm reservation started off well. Drink orders taken and delivered. Appetizers were tasty and food was ordered off of the pre selected menu offered as per the voucher we purchased. That's when everything fell apart.... more

Every week my friends and I visit Stonewalls for Pubstumpers. Pubstumpers is a weekly trivia game (wednesday) it lasts about 2.5 hours. Since we started going (about a year ago) the food is ok but nothing to rave about and the service is HORRIBLE if you aren't being served by Jen (the server, not the manager). Last night we (table of 6) arrived for our weekly Pubstumpers. We got the waitress... more

Had a nice breakfast this morning. We really liked the home fries that were included with our the egg breakfasts. It has a bit of a mild kick that was a nice change.

Had to knock them for the nonexistent selection of tea (only decaf Earl Gray & some herbals.) I mean really, there are two variety stores on the same block and a Vietnamese supermarket around the corner with an entire aisle of... more

Great night out

Went here last Friday on the patio and had a good time.
They were quite busy and Y108 was having an event on the patio.
I ordered the Cattleman’s Burger and rather enjoyed it. It is a big burger and it was cooked to perfection. My partner ordered the wings which were good as well but I am not too... more

Horrible service/ luke warm food

I honestly wish I could give this place a 0 on the ring scale. The manager is an awful woman,she served us and we waited over an hour for our food. 25 min for drinks...my poor little nephew was starving..He was so upset he just kept crying. Ruined our family day together. I will NEVER be back

Very good food and service

My wife and I visited here for dinner and Latin dancing to a live band. The Cattleman's burger was huge.... 8 oz. plus ham and Swiss cheese etc. and tasted homemade. My wife ordered fish and chips and she enjoyed the lighter batter. For about $11 each it was very reasonable and the server came by a couple of times... more

amazing

Enjoyed every moment every time I come there to watch Sarah Smith and darcy Feaver perform. The waitress was always on top of taking very good care of our table of ten. Thank you again will be back

Birthday at Stonewalls

Took my daughter (age 22) and 8 people for her birthday. It was a Sunday evening, so relatively quiet. First visit and just walking in looked very nice. Seated quickly(had reservations) Asked for appetizer before drinks and both came very quickly. Staff was very accomodating re:table for gifts, cake arrangements(added candles) was not rushed to order, but when we finally did the food came... more

For the most part our experience was good- there was a bit of a communication breakdown & we waited a while before we got our appetizer & when we did get it our dinner came about 5 minutes later. We asked our server to take back the dinner & we were told we would get a fresh dinner but the sole I had was luke warm. It wasn't the servers fault but we spoke to the owner & he apologised & gave us... more

First time, will return

Visited for first time. Menu is ok, typical bar food. Wine list is disappointing, beer menu is ok. Venue is great for a gathering of friends, in a large updated pub environment. Went on a Saturday, busier after 9 pm, which was fun. Good band, big dance floor. Would visit again in a group, but not great for a 1-1 date. Disappointed that menu was small and really geared to pub food, nothing... more

don't go

Had a 5:30 reservation before the Bulldogs game. Restaurant was almost empty. Poor service (waitress did not know wine options - brought wrong wine to the table). Ordered nachos with chicken, chicken was missing. Food was terrible (dry, flavourless nachos, skimpy salad, poorly seasoned rice). Check was $100 - should have gone down the street to Quiznos or Swiss Chalet. Will never return. Will... more

Stonewall's on a Friday night.

The food is good, but the menu is not particularly vegetarian friendly. If I did not also eat fish, there was hardly any entree that I would be able to order. The portion size is good, and the prices are average, sometimes a little higher than average, but the service was very good.

Valentines day

My wife and I recently attended Stinewall's and found it to be a very lovely experience. We arrived for some drinks and discovered the band that was playing was a high energy cover band of a popular 80's band we both enjoyed. It was a very good time.

Parking Issues

Allowing cars to park in the middle of the parking lot, with no lines to guide the drivers, creates a real problem for cars parked along the sides of the parking lot to get out. One of our group had great difficulty backing out of her spot because the cars parked in the middle of the lot were too close to enable her to back her car out safely. I urge the management to look at this issue. The... more

Had lunch here yesterday - just me and my two sons. Burger for me, burger for son #1, and a turkey and avocado club for son #2.

The food was great! Without question. The service was decent, but not the best. One server on - maybe a dozen tables on the go.....she was spread thin and it was noticeable. However, I'm an easy going guy at restaurants of any stripe, so the little lack of attention... more

Things to work

Wine list is very poor, very limited and what us offered is bad wine. This is an easy fix.
Our Calamari was awful. It was cold and dripping in grease.
However, it's a great venue for a band and somewhere to dance.

loved the food,everything tasted fresh and flavourful
Was there for a pre concert meal and arrived at 4:45 -only thing is that I felt we were being rushed out the door

nice

love the rockabilly shows! So exciting! NIce ambiance, cheap ticket prices, very happy with experience. Bathrooms nice and clean!
Food great! Nice stage, great music!

great venue

great time at Steve Strongman's' Xmas Party. dancing, food,drinks were very good as was the wait-staff. Had my Birthday bash here in February and everyone really had a great time.

great find!

everyone in a group of 9 loved the food! will become a favourite and looking forward to trying breakfast.

Will now be a restaurant of choice

Certainly worth taking family and friends to for a lovely meal. Staff are friendly and prices good. One in our group said it was the best steak he had ever had.

I have been here lots but today the food was not the best. The eggs where over cooked. Disappointed today. But the staff is great.

Dinner and Hotel California

Wow, what a great evening. My husband, friend and myself are all huge Eagles fans. Hotel California, a tribute band was playing at Stonewalls. It was our first time at Stonewalls, We were extremely impressed with the atmosphere, the food was very good, the drinks were fun. My friend and I enjoyed and margarita served in a glass fit for... more

Better than Ever

Once again we went to Stonewalls prior to going to Theatre Aquarius. The restaurant has done an overhaul by moving booths and adding a great stage for their live bands. Our waitress Dee was awesome. She was very attentive and did not rush us. I had "Lobster Mac and Cheese" and I have never tasted anything with so much flavour.... more

boring food - overpriced

the food was bland, the prices are too high for the poor food quality, the place is empty at lunch and for good reason.

Stonewalls Rocks the new improved look and sound

We recently went out with 5 friends to Stonewalls Restaurant. We had wonderful dinners and a fantastic waitress Shelby. Shelby came back several times to check on us. The food was fabulous and the steaks were done perfectly. We decided to stay for the night entertainment which was Robin Hawkins, Ronnie Hawkins son we were told. They were very entertaining... more

Great experience for the casual diner

The food is very good here and the atmosphere is very comfortable. They have live music on the weekends and was voted best venue in Hamilton for Live music.
Different events during the week - Poker night, Trivia night etc.
Service is very good and i have never been disappointed in my meal.
Great JUMBO Martini's too.
Great for date... more

Totally amazing

After reading the reviews online I almost didn't come here. It makes me wonder if some people have a vendetta against this place?? The weather was cool when we went so we didnt sit on the patio, but we had a quick look at it and it looks really nice. Nice flowers, tables, umbrellas etc, it looks very inviting and... more

Fresh and delicious

The food was excellent! The Mac and Cheese with Lobster was delicious, as was the Basa fish and the Thai veggies with rice - spicy!. The veggies were fresh! Next visit, I will try the Lobster Mac and Cheese! Our server was very pleasant. A band was setting up just as we were leaving. On another visit, there was a... more

Needs To research Other Venue Bars to make it

Ok.... I have been To stonewalls quite a bit but Will probably not be goin back anytime soon unless an Amazing band is playing....What happened to this place??? It went downhill so fast.... Personally I like the new open concept and higher stage.. But everytime I go here this place is a complete ghostown I feel awful for the bands... more

Very Enjoyable

We came for dinner Saturday I had the Fish and Chips and my husband had the Liver and Onions. I am not a big Liver and Onion fan but my husband said its one of the best he has ever had. My Fish and Chips were very big and tasty, I had to take the second piece home it was... more

Poor service

We went for dinner on a Sunday night after work and the patio was open so there were two wait staff, one for inside and one for outside. They took forever to take our order and then she forgot what I ordered and had to come back to our table to make sure. I got what was supposed to be... more

Great place will be back

I came here with my girl friends for the Rod Stewart tribute Show. really nice atmosphere. Hats off to the Chef for a wonderful meal it was a great value for dinner and a show! The Staff was awesome. Overall a GREAT experience we will be back !

Terrible food and ear deafening music

Two couples went here for the Friday night Rod Stewart Tribute. We reserved by buying tickets a head of time and not knowing what we were getting to eat, we were disappointed that there was a a limited set menu. We chose the salad and the roast beef, one chose the salmon. The salads were terrible!!!!!! The lettuce was wilted... more

Two completely different experiences on two nights

So, on a weekend trip to Hamilton, we went to Stonewalls for some food and drinks post-concert and we also returned the following night to see a cover band.
The Friday night, our waitress couldn't have been more helpful, the food was good, there were a lot of vegetarian choices and I thought everything was good value for the money.... more

Excellent Live Entertainment Venue

I was there Saturday evening to watch a band. First off the place is so beautiful, the nicest live entertainment venue I have ever been too! The staff was very nice and service was excellent. Their wine selection and food was great. Management and ownership came around to ensure everything was okay. Amazing sounds, lights and stage for live entertainment.... more

A nice spot to see live music. The decor is pretty nice, the staff is pretty slow but overall a nice experience. The stage setup is good, and the acoustics are decent. I will go back and do recommend the place. The food was good, although I only ordered a app.

Don't waste your time

Went here over my lunch hour.. Not busy at all maybe 4 tables in use. I Still had to wait over 40 minutes for my food, which is completely unacceptable. I have been here a couple times before as it is close to the office, and what I have noticed the most is the inconsistency each time. Once I ordered... more

passing grade

The food was okay, the menu was okay, the service was okay, the ambiance was okay. But none of that was great. It smelled like a place that is on the verge of franchising into a thousand little okay restaurants. But then again, it's a sports bar....they advertise how many t.v. screens they have, not the name or qualifications of... more

over priced,and very bad food

this place is trying to capture the best of those b.c places like the shark club etc.Not even close we ordered the lobster mac and witch contained POLAC not lobster.the guiness steak served in some thing made of nerf and was a flour based rue.come on really.I was shocked.i wouldnt take or tell anyone about this place.with c@!p food done... more

Nothing special

Went here before a hockey game. The place is nicely decorated inside, which is nice that they have the look of a gastropub.
We had started off with just the basic nachos. Very bland and plain, no excitement, and a rather small portion. Compared to that of say Whistling Walrus, where you get a very large portion that can easily... more

Dinner before Theatre Aquarius

We popped in for dinner before heading to Theatre Aquarius last night. We got caut up in a waitress shift change and we now wish the 1st waitress could have stayed. Our new waitress was friendly but just after coming on duy spent almost 15 pn her cell phone when we were waiting for our bill. She finally finished her... more

Decent

Six of us stopped in here for dinner and drinks prior to the Springsteen concert. Place was very busy, (we made reservations). As busy as it was, our server Shawna was fantastic! I wasn't impressed with my food order but all of my companions raved about theirs. Turkey avocado club was received well, stonewall burgers looked and tasted awesome and... more

Excellent Pub Food

This is the second time we have gone to this restaurant before going to Theater Aquarius. We made reservations, as it was a Saturday evening and were seated immediately when we arrived. The waitress was great as we were not ready to order immediately. We were laughing every time she came to the table as she did not want to... more

GREAT service, decent for pub food & can listen to the game

We had fabulous service during the Ti-Cats game last night, no lengthy wait and the place had many of its booths & tables full. The food was decent in general, but our steak was really very perfectly prepared. Compliments to the chef who got rare just right. Compliments to our server who really worked hard to ensure our experience was... more

Disappointing

2 p.m. on a sunny, hot Saturday afternoon with only a handful of patrons and still no drink order taken after 10 minutes. Unacceptable. We left. Popped over to Jack and Lois on James St. - less than 5 minutes away - the place was jumping but we had a cool drink within minutes of being seated and an absolutely... more

Excellent food

I found the restaurant quite refreshing especially for Hamilton. I would highly recomend both inside and the patio. Patio tends to be a bit noisy (due to traffic) but i would sit outside anyday if the weather is nice. Great food and freindly staff :)

My buddy's band played at Stonewalls for the Rush after party, and that's what brought me here.

The place looks ghetto from the outside, like a small diner, but once you get inside its actually quite nice. They have tvs thoughout the place with sports and other stuff on (Glee, without sound?).

The food was slow to arrive, but really good. Food I rate 9/10. Service was friendly, rate 9/10.... more

I like that there is a free parking lot and the inside is esthetically pleasing with dark wood, booths, a well planned seating area and lots of TVs to catch all the sports action. The bathroom is also pretty nice.

The menu is fairly common: appys, pizza, burgers, etc. I tried only one appy, which came highly recommended, the spinach and artichoke dip. It claimed to come with tortilla chips and... more
