Stonewalls Restaurant & Sports Bar

Food was good, but what the portions are ridculous and the kitchen can’t keep up if there is a busy night.

Our group of 6 took advantage of a discount voucher to have dinner and see a couple of bands. What better way to check out a new establishment! The place was very busy. Our 7:30pm reservation started off well. Drink orders taken and delivered. Appetizers were tasty and food was ordered off of the pre selected menu offered as per the voucher we purchased. That’s when everything fell apart. Hubby and I ordered chicken Parmesan (it was good, not much of it), two in our party ordered the half rack of ribs (we counted 4 actual ribs and the amount of fries would fit in one mans hand), blackened Bassa was also ordered, the fish itself was paper thin and the spice was overpowering. Needless to say our food experience was a bit of a joke. I gave my son in law some of my chicken because he was starving. We waited for about 30min before we asked for our dessert. The waitress looked at me and said «could you give me about 15 mins, we are very busy and I have to make up the desserts myself». WHAT??? A packed house and the waitress is plating the desserts herself??? Shouldn’t she be tending to the customers and not in the kitchen? Our desserts didn’t arrive until almost an hour later. Several times our table was dry of drinks and i had to grab a different waitress to ask her to get our waitress to come to our table. I understand a busy night and sometimes a customer has to wait. We were being patient. What I don’t understand is why this waitress was also the one clearing the table, making up desserts, and ringing through the bills when the customer paid their bill. The bands where wonderful. Atmosphere was good as well. Management should be better at scheduling either more wait staff or bus staff for these busy nights and having kitchen staff prepare the desserts in advance knowing that the dessert menu was the only menu option for our voucher purchased (other tables also had the same voucher). In all food was mediocre, and service was terrible! No one in our group would go back.
So I noticed that when I gave this place a 2 out of 5star review. It automatically went to a 3 star rating and would not go below. Not sure if it is a glitch or not!

Every week my friends and I visit Stonewalls for Pubstumpers. Pubstumpers is a weekly trivia game (wednesday) it lasts about 2.5 hours. Since we started going (about a year ago) the food is ok but nothing to rave about and the service is HORRIBLE if you aren’t being served by Jen (the server, not the manager). Last night we (table of 6) arrived for our weekly Pubstumpers. We got the waitress that never smiles and always looks like a sourpuss. We were seated and drinks were brought right away, an hour went by and the waitress was nowhere to be found. We had a table of empty drinks and our order had not been taken. She finally came over and took our orders and refilled our drinks. ANOTHER HOUR GOES BY and pubstumpers is almost over I decide to ask for the manager and the owner comes to tell us with a smirk on his face that the food is 5 mins away from being ready and if «that was ok?» My father in law informed the owner that it was NOT OK and we were not waiting 2 hours for bland food and shitty service. The owner then got defensive and called us liars and was not at all concerned with the service we received. Then he started yelling at me (a woman) when I told him I had been timing the server since we placed our order. 1hr 10mins. I WILL NEVER GO BACK AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE HOW MUCH OF A DOUCHE THE OWNER IS.

Had a nice breakfast this morning. We really liked the home fries that were included with our the egg breakfasts. It has a bit of a mild kick that was a nice change.
Had to knock them for the nonexistent selection of tea (only decaf Earl Gray & some herbals.) I mean really, there are two variety stores on the same block and a Vietnamese supermarket around the corner with an entire aisle of teas. Even a simple no name tea brought to the table in a pot would have sufficed.

30 minutes assis à attendre pour être servi, c’est bon on est parti. Ciao.

This is a five star place to go have a beer and and a bite to eat. I’m a regular who tries to go every week or two with some friends. The nachos are great, good burgers, etc! What makes Stonewalls special, however, is the service. The second time we went the waitress remembered our preferred beverages and we have been treated like great return customers since the first time we walked in the door. They have gone SO out of there way for us we have had staff parties and retirements there and if I told you the lengths they’d gone to for us you’d probably think I was exaggerating. They’re great!

Had lunch here yesterday — just me and my two sons. Burger for me, burger for son #1, and a turkey and avocado club for son #2.
The food was great! Without question. The service was decent, but not the best. One server on — maybe a dozen tables on the go… she was spread thin and it was noticeable. However, I’m an easy going guy at restaurants of any stripe, so the little lack of attention did not ruin my good time. When the server was there, she was awesome!
Back to the food: I had a kick-​ass burger topped blue cheese and roasted red peppers. It was unreal. Seriously good. My boys declared their lunches equally as tasty — and we all agreed the fries were spot-​on.
Whoever’s running the kitchen, they’re doing a fine job of it. Look forward to many more visits.

I have been here lots but today the food was not the best. The eggs where over cooked. Disappointed today. But the staff is great.

A nice spot to see live music. The décor is pretty nice, the staff is pretty slow but overall a nice experience. The stage setup is good, and the acoustics are decent. I will go back and do recommend the place. The food was good, although I only ordered a app.

My buddy’s band played at Stonewalls for the Rush after party, and that’s what brought me here.
The place looks ghetto from the outside, like a small diner, but once you get inside its actually quite nice. They have tvs thoughout the place with sports and other stuff on (Glee, without sound?).
The food was slow to arrive, but really good. Food I rate ⁹⁄₁₀. Service was friendly, rate ⁹⁄₁₀. Again, the food took a long time to show up so I rate that about ⁷⁄₁₀.
The interior is nice, they have large booths perfect for big parties of 6 — 10. Compared to many other places in Hamilton, I would say this is better than average. Also, free parking.

I like that there is a free parking lot and the inside is esthetically pleasing with dark wood, booths, a well planned seating area and lots of TVs to catch all the sports action. The bathroom is also pretty nice.
The menu is fairly common: appys, pizza, burgers, etc. I tried only one appy, which came highly recommended, the spinach and artichoke dip. It claimed to come with tortilla chips and pita wedges but only appeared with the pita. The serving size was quite large. But there wasn’t much to it. Unlike most dips with artichoke, this one you could actually taste the artichoke — which made me happy. What was disappointing was the lack of spinach… there was barely any there. The dip was mostly just warm cream cheese. It wasn’t bad but I won’t order it again.
Overall nice place and I will go back and try something else off the menu next time.
