Hutch’s On The Beach - Hamilton

This restaurant serves simple beach food like fried fish and burgers, without any pretentiousness. The fried fish is really good and the portions are generous. Expect a line and a bit of a wait, but you're on the beach surrounded by others, so why rush? The staff handle the large crowds well, so they are used to it. This is a place worth stopping by when in the area. It would be nice if they offered alcoholic beverages while you wait for your food.

We visited this restaurant on a Wednesday night and found a line forming outside. The line is just to place your order at the counter. It took about 40 minutes to receive our food, but when we did, it was hot and very delicious. It's a great spot to go for a walk after enjoying your meal. While the place may need an update, they are always busy for a reason.

American classics diner on the beach: Burgers, fries, hotdogs, fish&chips, fries, rings, sodas, milkshakes, grilled sandies, etc. Plenty of booth seating decorated by local sports-lover. The line was short but there were several orders waiting ahead of me. They'll call your order on the speakers so you can wait with your gang outside, relax in a booth, or play some old school games. Remember rocky and bullwinkle? Great stop after riding the waterfront trail or jumping in the lake on a hot summer day.

This is one of the few places to eat along the beach. We stopped in late for some ice cream after playing mini golf at Adventure Village down the road. It's like going back to the 50s when these kinds of diners were everywhere. The ice cream was so good and eating it outside really supercharges the whole experience.

Disappointing Waste of $32. We went only because of all the hype. Big mistake. The fries were dry and tasteless fresh cut? I highly doubt it. I ate as much of the hot dog as I could stand because I was hungry and had spent my cash on it. There were hardly any toppings they scrimped on the tomatoes, the onions, even the ketchup and mustard! Never again.
