i went here last Friday January 30th the place looks nice but the stay is rude, food takes forever to arrive, i always had to send my food back multiple times because i asked for medium rare and i get sent rare, then well done, each time it took about 45 minutes for my food to arrive. after the second time I just left.

First off i want to make it every clear that this places was not busy when me and my partner wait within the last week. Would say you are better off going somewhere else. my waiter was extremely rude, would roll his eyes when i asked is the steak good here, and was an attitude in his voice answers, took the place well over an hour to bring us our food. when me and my partner asked 4 different people what was taking our food so long they never came back to give us an answer. me and my partner were about to walk. wish we had, we were sick by the next day.

We were expecting a great meal at Hamilton Walkers. I rarely order a steak at a restaurant because we can grill a great peone steak at home. I ordered the filet. It was OK. It was a little overcooked. Not great flavor or tenderness. We ordered twice baked potato casserole and it was awful. They replaced it with another potato casserole. The color was dark brown that was off putting. The garlic was so strong it made my mouth sore. The spinach salad was delicious. My husband had the pork chop and enjoyed it. Just average so disappointed.
