Cadillac Jax Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Hamilton

Came in just to get a beer to share with my boyfriend, server came up and took our order and brought it to us. Not even 10 minutes later she came up to us again telling us we HAVE to pay now because she wants to go home. Not once was it mentioned that it was cash only???!! What kind of bar in the middle of Hamilton is cash only? So I stayed while my boyfriend ran home to grab cash, and as requested, we tried to pay right away (even though that’s completely rude to ask for in the service industry as we are paying customers) the original server (she was blonde) was no where to be found so the only other option was the bartender. My boyfriend waited and waited at the bar clearly with bills in his hand to pay and the bartender looked at him multiple times but because he wasn’t HER customer she refused to pay him any mind. So I went up myself to try and talk with her. I had to resort to getting the attention of the dishwasher (who was very kind) who turned and told the bartender (brunette) that I had wanted to pay my bill and had been waiting for some time. She literally shrugged and ignored it and continued doing what she was doing. When I had to tell “excuse me” to even get her attention, she just looked at me and said what? I told her I was waiting to pay for a while after being rushed to pay in the first place, and she just said “yeah well I was busy” I’m sorry? Just because you work in a dive bar doesn’t mean you get to be rude. I was only doing what I was told. She snatched my money, put it through and then handed my change back. I told her it was for the blonde server to which I was told “she left”. I’m sorry, but that’s not my problem, and she didn’t leave, she was just in the back or something. Then when leaving, I was asked by another server “did you settle up?” Well maybe if you were on the floor you would know. Terrible service, will never return. Do not recommend in...

Came here for beers after work on a Friday with the crew. Ordered coors light draft. It was a cheap craft beer that tasted awful. They assured me that it was coors, but it was definitely not, and it was gross. Never had this happen at any bar before.

A bunch of the guys wanted to order food, but after getting inside and getting the vibe, everyone decided that they won't be eating here. Take that as you will. There were a ton of regular seniors inside getting wasted and playing pool.

The location seemed decent. The interior looked clean and renovated, and it has a parking lot. There is definitely potential for this location to be good.

The fact that they are serving cheap craft beer from the coors light tap makes me feel sketchy and not trust the owners. If they are willing to cut quality/cost/corners on something so obvious as one of the world's most popular beers (which is already cheap) then they are obviously not worried to cut other corners. I wouldn't recommend coming here. Go anywhere else nearby and you have a higher chance of getting good service/food/drinks.

The service was fine, but it wasn't good. We still tipped well, but nobody will ever be back. The 5 star reviews are obviously fake/friends or people with standards so low that they shouldn't write a review. If you compare this to every restaurant within 20km, it would be under 1 star. Just don't come here. The few drunken locals that live next door and spend all day here shouldn't be allowed to write a 5 star review saying the food or service is the best of anything. That is embarrassing to the food community. Typical dive bar with bad options, poor service that tends to the few crackheads that live there rather than real patrons, and a couple pool tables.

As a person who goes to restaurants every week, I would never tell anyone...

This place deserves 6 stars.

Any of the "bad" reviews you see are written by people who just want to be heard, and their only chance is in a review section.

If you're looking for a place to have a few with your buddies or a date night spot with your partner, come here. ESPECIALLY if it's Saturday Karaoke Nights, trust me.

Drinks are good. Food's even better after you've had a couple. But it's the atmosphere, and the people within it, that keep me coming back. When karaoke gets going, this place comes alive. It's brimming with energy, and some VERY surprisingly good singers.

For the love of god, though, please fix or replace the one pool table. These poor bartenders have to go rescue the game every 30 mins.

Will be back soon! And, if I may make a request: please start stocking Miller High Life, preferably in bottles—you'll make enough to fix or replace the table, just from me.

Thanks for keeping things...
