Work - NORTH HAMILTON

I loved the whole over look of the places -it was themed like industrial warehouse. The menu was large they had many options for every burger lover out there. The prices are very reasonable. My only complaint is that the patty it's self had zero flavor that to me is very disappointing-because even if you too you burger with all these delicious topping it still will fall short because there no flavor where really matters. The services was great though- our waitress was very polite kind and attentive, she checked on us constantly. The side choices were interesting my spouse got gravy fries and believe it or not these were very tasteful. My Caesar salad was a bit soggy and also could used more flavor. I can't say if I would go back because it didn't offer that wow factor for me, but glad I gave it a try.

After admitting it was our first time , we were enthusiastically led across the menu: a wryly written guide that holds your hand, confidently *winks*, while smiling and letting you know that you are about to sit down for a great burger... THE WORKS GOURMET BURGER BISTRO (at 2 King St. West, Hamilton) does a few things -namely burgers and sides- exceptionally well. Their confidence is 20/20 visible; starting with their energetic and friendly staff, to a menu that dares you to sit back and enjoy yourself. Speaking of doing a few things exceptionally well... they know how to make a damn good burger. The 100% Fresh, 1/2 Pound Canadian Beef is a proud signature of many burger options served piping hot, layered together with care, and served in a cheesier fashion than you ever thought you deserved. The often-neglected details of this protein-rich sandwich are treated with massive respect; starting from the very top, all the way down to the bottom bun. The countless variety of pre-set toppings are arranged purposefully with all of your favourite flavour profiles in mind: savoury, sweet, mild, spicy... all of which rely on your highly customizable order. However, just as you would not tell a doctor how to administer your flu shot ...you get my drift. Trust the professionals. It might sound odd to describe a burger joint as Refreshing ... especially a place that is decorated with corrugated metal and a heavy construction motif that is built to look Ford Tough . However, none of these strange oddities will matter following your first few, eye-widening, and smile-inducing bites. THE WORKS manages to strike the perfect iron between both Quality and Quantity... and let me tell you, this iron is hot.

I decided to be a good big sister and hang out with my younger sister who goes to McMaster. I had tried the Works before and I have to say it is not the best burger I've ever had. Honestly what I don't like about this place is the options. There are hundreds of burger combinations and I couldn't make up my mind. Some of the burger combinations are outrageous, stuffed with chocolate or the Elvis that has peanut butter. I do like the service, the vibes and the apps. They have an amazing Cheese dip here that has 7 types of cheeses. They also have crazy poutines that are topped with fried onion rings. I decided to go for the fried chicken burger smothered in Frank's Hot Sauce, Cheese and Bacon. Love their bacon! Also they have great sweet potato fries. My sister who as a vegetarian at the time got a veggie burger topped with all the crazy hot peppers, hot sauces and veggies. I gave it a try and it was SUPER SPICY. I would give it a try if you can make a decision between all the delicious sounding burgers. Keep Eating, Angela

Very nice restaurant, not like a fast-food joint. Insane amount of burger styles to choose from (so hard to make a decision and good amount of side to choose from. Trying to be healthy at a burger place? You can do that lol. Choose weeds (garden salad or cukes (cucumbers celery as your side. And you can even change out the beef patty for chicken/turkey. Be prepared as the burgers take 20mins to make but we 'll worth wait! I 'd come back : Ps. Drinks are served in Pyrex measuring cups which is different and cool lol

Very good burger and fries. There was only one other person seated Yet the service was very slow. Unfortunately that other person was a vegetarian nutbar! She was yelling and insulting me. I asked to be moved to another table but that just had the server confused. Still I must admit the food was really good. I might give it another chance Someday,,,
