Description

So, I recently stumbled upon this little gem called A1 BBQ on Main St E in Hamilton. Now, given its name, I was half-expecting a BBQ joint, but it turns out, they do more of a diner vibe—think cozy, family-run restaurant where the food is hearty, and the prices are unreal.

Let’s talk portions! You’ll get a plateful for way less than you might think. I mean, if it’s breakfast you’re after, their all-day options are a treat. Picture this: a Hungry Man Breakfast, glistening with bacon and eggs, all for under $10! It’s like a warm hug, but edible.

I read some reviews, and folks seem to have mixed feelings. Some rave about the food quality—the poutine, for instance, has a cult following. Others hinted at a few hiccups like service being slower than a snail on vacation or some cleanliness concerns. But hey, maybe that’s just part of the charm, right? It’s kinda like visiting grandma’s house; it might not always be spick-and-span, but the love in those meals makes up for it.

They keep it simple too: dine-in or takeout, whichever floats your boat. The atmosphere feels relaxed, with friendly faces around, and kids are welcome. And if you’re driving there, you won’t break the bank on parking—there’s free lot access.

Honestly, if you’re in Hamilton, A1 BBQ is worth a visit. Just lower your expectations about BBQ, embrace the nostalgia, and enjoy the real magic that is home-cooked comfort food.
