HAMBRGR King William — Restaurant in Hamilton

HAMBRGR - if you havent been, you gotta eat here!

Starter: Bomb Ass Chips & Dip – 13

The presentation is rustic and inviting. The hand-cut potato chips arrive piled high in a tin bucket with a golden, crispy finish that screams “freshly made.” They’re lightly seasoned with a sprinkle of herbs for color and aroma. The “Bomb Ass Onion Dip” served in a mason jar looks creamy and smooth, topped with vibrant pickled onions and parsley, adding a splash of color and sharp contrast. The texture of the chips appears perfect for dipping—sturdy, not greasy. This is a solid starter that looks like it hits all the comfort food notes with elevated flair.

Rating: 9/10 – Classic bar snack done right, with an upscale twist.

3 AM in Rome – 17

This burger is visually stacked and impressive. You can clearly spot the crispy panko-breaded mozzarella, which adds height and crunch. Garlic mushrooms and crispy pepperoni give the sandwich a decadent, late-night vibe, and the marinated tomatoes and pesto mayo bring a welcome Italian flair. The bun is glossy, perfectly toasted, and sprinkled with sesame seeds for a great first impression. Overall, it looks indulgent and loaded without being sloppy—just messy enough to promise rich flavor in every bite.

Rating: 9/10 – A bold, Italian-inspired burger that lives up to its dramatic name.

Honey Crunch – 17

A showstopper in its own right, the Honey Crunch burger features a thick, crunchy southern-fried chicken breast coated in a glossy honey glaze that looks both sticky and savory. The buttermilk aioli is oozing gently from the sides, mixing into the iceberg lettuce and juicy tomato below. The bun again is soft and golden with sesame seeds, staying consistent with presentation. This sandwich looks like the perfect combo of sweet, salty, and tangy—ideal for fried chicken fans looking for something crave-worthy.

Rating: 8.5/10 – Sweet, crispy, and saucy, with that perfect Southern comfort twist.

Overall Vibe:

HAMBRGR nails the visual appeal and hits a sweet spot between gourmet presentation and down-to-earth indulgence. The wood serving boards, upscale plating, and layered flavor combos show care in execution. If the flavors match the presentation, this is a must-visit for...

**NOTHING YOU SEE ON INSTAGRAM IS ON THE MENU

Had lunch on the patio, a first for us for the season. Got seated on the patio ordered some drinks I got the white peach sangria that came in a French press (pretty sure it was just for looks) then started to look at burger options.

The burgers that u see on Instagram are all “special’s” or part of the “BYOB” so I was extremely disappointed when my burger the “The OKC Original” that came out with just a single 1/4lb Pattie, mustard, 2pickles, caramelized onions and a Martin bun (which is just a regular burger bun) after seeing fully loaded burgers with lots of toppings. I felt kinda cheated out of a good burger or maybe the server could have mentioned how small it actually was especially in comparison to the size my bf was ordering. After my burger, my side salad and eating almost all my bf gar-parm fries I was still hungry after. I felt like I ordered a McDouble from McDonald’s for the size of it. It was still a good burger just not what I was expecting.

I also asked my server to add ketchup she told me they can put it on for me or put it in a side bowl, for a burger place not to have ketchup/mustard or other condiments on the table I found it very odd not to mention they completely forgot to put it on the burger or on the side. Saw our server left for the day (which understandable for shift changes etc;) but after she left nobody came back to check in on us and we had to go inside the restaurant to get the bill. Should probably pay more attention to patio customers it would have been really easy to dine and dash.

Overall this place has great patio vibes, I enjoyed my drink and sides and if I were to come back only order off of instagram and to go to the other location on Ottawa street as it seems like this location...

Reservations recommended!! You will likely have a wait if you don't, but there are a few places around to have a drink and it's definitely worth the wait.

Friendly staff and loads of menu choices for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. Lots of craft beers and cocktails as well as crazy housemade milkshakes that look like a meal in a mug!

We started with the Tater Tot Fondue, because who doesn't love dipping those little nuggets in delicious melted cheese? It was piping hot and served in a cast iron pot that was heated and was enough for least four people as an app or side. We also had the Buffalo Cauliflower, also a very generous portion of delicious deep fried cauliflower with a sweet and spicy kick from the pickled jalapenos. Both are definitely for sharing! I overdid it on the apps and took half my burger and onion rings home. Can't believe I made a rookie mistake like that! (The burger and rings were delicious reheated in the oven the next day, btw!).

Two poutines, a Magic Mushroom Burger and a side of onion rings arrived at the table and everything was hot, which was awesome. They have pre-built burgers with some interesting combos or you can build your own. There are chicken options, salad options and lots of shareables. Sides do not come with the burgers and unless you have a huge appetite, sharing a side is the way to go. The birthday girl also ordered a milkshake that came with a massive brownie wedge and a marshmallow perched on top that was torched at the table. What a spectacle!!

We went, we ate, we could not conquer all of our dishes. But we swore we'd be back to give it another try. Always a great meal and...
