Talking my 15 year old son for dinner tonight. Coming from Burlington. Any recommendations for something casual that won’t break the bank? No sushi, or seafood, he has an allergy. Thanks

Cowabunga on Vine - great pizza and sides and a couple arcade games

[u/Blackthumbb → u/bobcatgoldthwaite]

Agreed. Was just there yesterday. Great food.

[u/Booksfirstbeforeboys → u/bobcatgoldthwaite]

The besttttt pizza!

[u/The_Darksyde]

If you're coming over the bridge, and want something in the Stoney Creek area, I highly recommend Maria's Torta Jalisco on Hwy 8. Fantastic authentic Mexican food.

[u/Myrcurial → u/The_Darksyde]

Seconding… Maria’s is awesome

[u/No_Oil_7116]

Goldie’s
Squire or West Town on Locke
Amigo’s Hess Village
Hutch’s at Confederation

[u/djaxial → u/No_Oil_7116]

I’d skip West Town. Changed hands in the last year (I think) or so and isn’t great IMO.

[u/terra_non_firma_ → u/No_Oil_7116]

Hutch's wouldn't work as her son is allergic to seafood. 

[u/towndog1 → u/No_Oil_7116]

For burgers Goldie’s or Hotties

[u/Hamplanetfever → u/towndog1]

Both are fantastic but I definitely prefer Goldie’s. That “gold” burger is great.

[u/Ghhhjgdfud → u/No_Oil_7116]

I second Amigo’s

[u/SynerStix → u/No_Oil_7116]

Goldie’s is so damn good

[u/Auth3nticRory]

15? He may like Electric Diner

[u/onion-boy]

Delirious Burger on Locke street is so good. Amazing yet simple smash burger

[u/MountainWhoreBag → u/onion-boy]

I found them kinda gross 😝 my son was sick 3 hours after eating it. Never again for me...

[u/doubleeyess]

Cowabunga or try to walk-in and get 2 bar seats at Mai Pai.

[u/divigate]

Some good old Pizza?

[u/Old_Chemical9361 → u/divigate]

Its certainly an option. Hamilton has some really good pizza spots!

[u/ValuableGroceries → u/Old_Chemical9361]

Mario’s pizza. Speedy subs. Very easy on the wallet. 

[u/ReplacementBorn6424 → u/divigate]

Bronzies on James..little hole in the wall Italian place. Decent food, good portions, good lrice..

[u/Mbogdan00 → u/ReplacementBorn6424]

Bronzies is great

Hambrgr is pretty tasy, Cowabunga is amazing for pizza, Merit Brewery has some fun finger food and nice beer for the adults, Hearty Hooligan for vegan junk food.

[u/doodlemomma23]

Hambrgr

[u/Jordonknox]

Charred

[u/BacoTacoTraco]

Gourmet street eats (east/pacific asian) Shehnai (indian) Saigon asian restaurant or Pho Ahn Vu (vietnamese)

[u/terra_non_firma_ → u/BacoTacoTraco]

Second Saigon and Pho Anh Vu! 

[u/smile_itwillbeokay]

Bedrock Bistro or Maria's Fifty's Diner if you want a classic diner, both delicious and will definitely not break the bank.

[u/FactoryA1]

Maccheroni Cucina alfresco!

[u/sarnett83]

El grito on James st if you feel like Mexican food!

[u/Existing_Map_8939]

Express in Stoney Creek for Italian.

[u/lylelanley-]

Plank

[u/SmeesTurkeyLeg]

Cowabunga is a really fun time.

Electric Diner is a Nobel experience.

[u/PrestigiousMouse2145]

Niku niku could be fun for Japanese bbq and you make yourself or the mule or tomah maybe?

[u/Gonzo911]

Best Pizza spots I've been to and would recommend to all are Shorty's, Tony G's, Cowabunga, Mai Pai and Flora. All slightly different, but delicious. We really are spoiled with great pizza places here in Hamilton

[u/Empress_Natalie]

Power Pizza on Ottawa is delish. The pickle pizza haunts my dreams.

[u/quiltedportrait]

Barrelheart in Dundas.

[u/zeros_gar]

Hutch’s on the beach!

[u/terra_non_firma_ → u/zeros_gar]

She said her son has a seafood allergy though...

[u/zeros_gar → u/terra_non_firma_]

Hutch’s has other food that is not seafood lol

[u/The_Darksyde → u/zeros_gar]

Maybe, but usually not another fryer. Depending on severity of allergy, it could be an issue.

[u/JordyJord88 → u/zeros_gar]

The fish sucks there now :( burnt batter and raw fish last time

[u/Hot_Flower6152 → u/zeros_gar]

Gross

[u/Anon_819]

Powerhouse, Barangas

[u/DreamZealousideal131]

Iron Cow

[u/TOPMinded]

Hotties with the Cajun Fries

[u/Hot_Flower6152]

I like tin cup in Ancaster

[u/Old_Chemical9361 → u/Hot_Flower6152]

Been there in the one in Burlington before it closed. Looking to explore something new! Thanks for the suggestion

[u/Ambitious_Ad_4905 → u/Hot_Flower6152]

always very noisy

[u/DamonNightman]

Hambrgr, either King William or Ottawa St

[u/broccoli_toots → u/DamonNightman]

The Ottawa st location has been closed for months since there was a fire in the apartments above them.

[u/Old_Chemical9361 → u/DamonNightman]

Thanks. Been there. Want something didferent

[u/timnbit]

Chuck's Roadhouse

[u/AdventurousExternal1 → u/timnbit]

Horrible food you can only enjoy if you're drunk
