Hutch’s On The Beach - Hamilton

American classics diner on the beach: Burgers, fries, hotdogs, fish&chips, fries, rings, sodas, milkshakes, grilled sandies, etc. Plenty of booth seating decorated by local sports-lover. The line was short but there were several orders waiting ahead of me. They'll call your order on the speakers so you can wait with your gang outside, relax in a booth, or play some old school games. Remember rocky and bullwinkle? Great stop after riding the waterfront trail or jumping in the lake on a hot summer day.

This place is a staple in Hamilton. There is always a lineup and that should let you know how good everything is. I love going her for their ice cream.

This is one of the few places to eat along the beach. We stopped in late for some ice cream after playing mini golf at Adventure Village down the road. It's like going back to the 50s when these kinds of diners were everywhere. The ice cream was so good and eating it outside really supercharges the whole experience.

Hutch's Harbour Front in Hamilton is definitely the worst place to go eat. You may as well just drive by the water and throw your money away. The fish was SO SO GREASY that you need a pair of fishing gloves just to hang on to it. No need to order a drink just drink the excess grease at the bottom of your plate and head to the nearest emergency room before your arteries are fully clogged. Our first clue should have been finding the restaurant empty. This was the worst fish chip ever. And yes, the thin pieces of fish were very soggy and disgustingly awful tasting of old grease. Do yourself a favor and don't even come near this place.

One of my all time favourite restaurants. Good quality food every time with good portions as well. Very family friendly and the ice cream shop located inside is also amazing. I great spot to visit in the summer and all year round. I always order the fish and chips and it's always been good. Highly recommend in the summer time as the restaurant has great vibes. Plus the wait time is not bad at all considering how busy it tends to get.
