My husband and I enjoyed an excellent dinner, rutabaga soup to start. He had the sweet potato lasagna and I had the chicken Vera salad. We loved everything. Great service and ambiance. Will definitely return.

Hamilton

About the restaurant

The year is 2015. The gainfully bearded citizens of Hamilton take to the streets, proudly showcasing their admiration for this great city through their wardrobe of tastefully designed crew neck t-shirts. They longed for a place they could gather with friends and enjoy the excellence that is a well-crafted, locally sourced burger. Through careful deliberation, HAMBRGR was born with a commitment to its city and a promise for all – to make the best damn burger you’ve ever eaten.

Allen's is reminiscent of a New York City saloon from ages past. The tin ceiling, the wood floors and the cozy old bar make it an experience in itself. Yet Allen's also has a fabulous menu that is sure to inspire and delight.
