West Town is a juxtaposition in appearance.
From the outside, it looks like a quaint breakfast restaurant. Inside, it looks like a college pub bar with booths, TVs switched to sport channels and posters on the wall. But don't let appearances fool you: you're going to eat one of the best breakfasts outside of your mom's kitchen.
I imagine this place to be popular with a younger, university crowd in the evenings. But on Sunday mornings, you have a mixture of young families, older couples, young adults and everything else in between. My friends and I didn't have to wait too long for a table; West Town is a popular spot for everyone to start their day over plates of delicious food.
The atmosphere is relaxed and homely; the staff is fantastic and friendly. We had the best server!
The food is great: it's fresh, not-greasy and the servings are generous. I didn't ask but it seemed to me like the food came from local farmers and food providers because of their size and taste.
The eggs in my omelette tasted light and fluffy; my sausages were hefty in size with herbs and lightly spiced; and the bacon was thick, flavourful and properly cooked. Seriously, you either get overcooked or undercooked with bacon; I felt like Goldie Locks because these were done just right.
Plus, the prices are cheap: I paid $7.99 for my omelette, plus $2.00 for my sausages. You can get the choice of one or two eggs for a regular breakfast and it starts at $6.00. Amazing.
The two things I disliked: the coffee wasn't very strong and the washrooms are something to be desired. But other than that, I felt like I hit a homerun with West Town and I'm definitely coming back when I'm in the city again.Listed in: Breakfasts!

From the other reviews of this place on Yelp, I have to admit, i expected more. What I got was a diner that serves good food, but slowly.
First off, when you arrive, just seat yourself. Otherwise you'll be standing around for ages. Once you're seated, hope and pray that someone comes to help you. We went for brunch on a Sunday and it took us at least 30 minutes to get our food. Considering the food is basically diner-style eggs, in a diner environment, that seemed long to me.
I will admit the food was VERY tasty. My peameal bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was cooked perfectly. The eggs benny with home fries was also well-received. (I only tried the potatoes, but they were good.)
So, I wouldn't make a point to go back based on the service, but the food was very good. -

If you're driving down Locke St. in Hamilton, you'll likely find action around West Town no matter the time of day. From a food perspective, West Town is bustling in the mornings with patrons looking to eat some of their favourite breakfast dishes in a relaxed and homely atmosphere. At night, West Town turns into a busy little venue with younger patrons looking to indulge in a beverage or two. It's a bit of an odd twist to have an establishment that offers a breakfast menu that resonates strongly with citizens of west Hamilton, while also attracting a good turnout in the evening hours for beers and appetizers.
If you're in and around west Hamilton and Locke street at any point in the day and are looking for a good, simple meal or a beer at night, be sure to check out West Town. -

First off I will have to visit again when I am off sane mind. Went here for breakfast SEVERELY hungover. The water alone was good. Had the typical breakfast, eggs cooked perfectly to over easy, and place was very busy. Looked like a nice spot to come for drinks too (probably should have....hair of the dog) but opted against it. Noticed the sausage you get with the breakfast aren't those little fatty links, but actually legit full size pieces of real sausage. Decent, and will go back to try sometime.

My review is pretty much limited to Sunday morning breakfasts there, as that is primarily what I go there for, although I know they do great dinners as well, and the bar seems pretty popular from what I have seen driving by on a Saturday night. Really laid back down to earth atmosphere, good food at good prices. Always check what the daily specials are, there are some great things to be found there. Service is good, accommodated a party of 4 adults with 2 babies and no side-eye.
If you go right after Church on a Sunday though, be prepared for a wait. -

Big, friendly place; lots of beers on tap; classic rock soundtrack. Saturday breakfast: scrambled eggs kinda dry, huge pieces of peameal bacon kinda wet - barely touched the grill. Breakfast sandwich better. Server very friendly, but tough to get a coffee refill. I can see why the locals come here, but I wish the food were better.
