The Ship

Found this place on instagram. As their burgers were rated top 5 in Hamilton. So glad I finally decided to go! From first glance it looked cute... they transformed an old Victorian style home into this restaurant. I appreciate the history in the area so I'm glad it wasn't a newly built building. The burgers were so yummy, and the beer suggestion from the waiter was spot on . Service was great. Had a little bit of a wait when we arrived because the weather was good and everyone was looking to be on the patio. Street parking and several lots nearby. Highly recommended !

Food and burgers are great, service is fairly slow and some of the staff is moody. The place has a great vibe and good selection of items. I ordered the veggie burger and it was perfect. Fries were great and arugula caesar salad was very different from what I’m used to but it was tasty and definitely a shareable size! Definitely recommend this place.

Great food. Burger options are excellent and the fried chicken option (subbed out for any burger) is amazing. Best chicken sandwich in Hamilton, by far. Also, a very nice house made scotch bonnet sauce that goes well with everything there. Haven't tried it myself, but the better half loves the fish tacos and says they're easily comparable to what's found in California.

First visit and we're flavor junkies. All staff was really friendly and upbeat, which helps in general. Something to say about the workplace and management when most workers are friendly and willing to chat. Really had a great time there. Molly (our server) was great and really set the tone for the evening - thank you! Food was really on par and flavorful, and the chowder poutine is worth getting. The burger patties are UNREAL - and the kitchen staff should be complemented on them in full!!! I would easily go here again :).

Had the black and blue burger. It was amazing. This is a small pub but a great one. I was sat at the bar for lunch and received tremendous service. The burger was one of the best I had in a very long time. I'm very glad I stopped in here. Great selection of local and other craft beers. Employees are great and the food was great. Burgers are the reason you go there and it's what they do well. I'm glad that this place has a focus and can execute it.
