What customers say?

“ I had the pleasure of visiting a few weeks ago and have always had the intention of writing them a review because this place deserves its recognition. Atmosphere is nothing unique; some seating area to dine-in and some signs but nothing that stands out. The cooking station seems organized and neat. Service was excellent. The lady was a bit more quiet but the man working the grill had a great attitude. I asked for extra onions even though it already with onions and he said "don't worry I'll do it for you" with a smile. For me, this goes a long way because it told me that he was happy to accommodate. Food - I got a mushroom burger and a normal cheeseburger with fries. Normally I would dissect the burger but honestly it was a really good burger. The sauce really stood out the burger as sometimes a lot of burgers can be one-dimesional in terms of taste. The beef was good just like a smashed patty should be and I did notice that the fat to beef ratio was definitely higher than most locations. Toppings were loaded (thanks for the onions) but also fresh. I don't ask for tomatoes, but I did notice they are nicely thick cut. The fries were good but a little overcooked for my liking but I will say first 2 fries had me thinking mcdonalds.. The only negative takeaway from the burger I had was the rendered fat pooled at the bottom of the wrapper. I took it to go but unpacked and ate it right in the car so it's not ideal. Also, I'd suggest taking the time to build the burger. It was not busy, just myself and another customer. They built both orders burgers with pickles piled on top of each other so I had really pickly bites and then none. The upside is they didn't cheap out on pickles so I just had to rearrange. All in all, 100% would visit this place again! Well done to the owners for nailing a great burger. Keep it up. ”

“ At the time of writing, this will be the 640th public review, with a score of 4.9 stars. There is absolutely a reason for that; the food is stellar! The burger I had (mushroom smasher) was way bigger than I expected, a fantastic price and very delicious. The only criticism would be the fries, as they were hard and overall not great. Otherwise I will definitely be coming back here (menu and specials as of 01/13/26) ”

“ First ever visit. Had the lunch special on a Monday. Cheeseburger fries and a drink for $8.99. You can't beat it. They have a different special everyday. But my friend and I decided to pay a little extra for a double burger because a lot of places have small patties. Well , we found out , not this place ! Next time I'll probably just have one patty lol Incredibly delicious Smashburger. One of the very best I've had in Hamilton for sure. Choose your fresh toppings and sauces. Excellent Burger to bun ratio. And the bun was excellent. Fries were great too. Nice owner - small business. I highly recommend Hungry Dude. I will return. ”
