I had the apple brie with carmelise onions, that came barely cooked, The brie itself had zero taste over the raw onions. I was happy with the side of fries, cruchy with a soft centre I use to take my daughter to this place 6 years ago when she was at Mac and the food was amazing, rocking music, packed with people. The menu was huge with many vegan and healthy and tasty options. No longer, very sad. If you're in Hamilton Mac area and want some better food in the area, try Squire on Locke Str. Or the Thisty Catus in Dundas. Overall, I'm disappointed to see what happened what was a great place to dine.

I decided with the Reuben sandwich since it's one of their recommended picks, and it totally lived up to it. The sandwich was packed with smoked meat, sauerkraut, and just the right amount of Thousand Island dressing, all grilled up on perfectly toasted rye. It came with coleslaw and fries, but I swapped mine for home fries because, honestly, when you're in a diner, you go with home fries. And they didn't disappoint... crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and nicely seasoned. Even with a bunch of us, service was super quick and everything came out hot and fresh. The portions were solid, the prices were fair, and the whole experience just felt easy and satisfying. Definitely one of those places you leave full and happy. Would come back in a heartbeat.

As the New York Italians say: "When it's right, it's right," and this place gets it right. Born…read moreAnd Raised is such a fantastic spot. The only regret I have with this place is the fact that my wife and I waited two years before we came back. We were were worried that after two years the first time we were there was so awesome, with all the things that could change we wondered if it would still be good. Well, it was. We recently celebrated our wedding anniversary and we were so happy to be at Born And Raised again. The menu doesn't miss a beat. We started out with a couple of appetizers, steak tartare, and burrata done in a seasonal style with butternut squash. I thought it an odd combination but it was so amazingly good. Then our mains, I had the rigatoni with meatballs, and as a special feature item my wife had tagliatelle with braised short rib. I am always critical of Italian food given that my grandmother, mother, stepmother, wife, and mother-in-law are masters at it, but let me tell you their rigatoni with meatballs is the real deal. The sauce is amazing, pasta cooked perfectly, and meatballs were so delicious with every bite. The server was even cool about getting me some extra bread to clean up that sauce with which was an extra treat. I was able to beg for a couple of fork fulls from my wife for the tagliatelle with braised short rib, and it was so delicious. Oh yeah, and one other thing, in both cases the portions were fantastic. None of this two forkfuls thing for presentation, it tastes good, you're there to eat and eat well, and they deliver. They vibe in the place is very cool noise levels are fair, and they were playing some cool old school music when we went. All of the staff were friendly, and attentive always checking in. Can I recommend that for dessert you order their pecan pie. It's so amazingly delicious, as is the scoop of vanilla ice cream they dolloped on there. Yeah, I may have had to have put in some extra time at the gym the next day, but that kind of eating gave me high I rarely get in restaurants, and I wish the same for all of you that take this recommendation to heart. Well done to the staff of Born And Raised, and I promise it will NOT be another two years before we are back again.

There was a line up for tables, but the host seem to keep it moving and organized people efficiently. However, there was a looooong wait for food after we placed our orders. At least a 30 minute wait. When our server kindly checked the kitchen, we were informed that our order was third in line. Either we were all hungry, or there was a strange delay because it felt like the longest time before we got our food. Once arrived, my mushroom and cheese omelette was good but nothing special. It could have came out of my own home kitchen (and I would have been more generous with the mushrooms). In all, a homey slightly run-down diner.

Lovely patio with shade (it was 30+) and we were fixing our table number and how everything works. You go to get a disposable menu, order at the window, and a delightful server comes to your table with your food. We had the oysters, and chicken wings (not pictured. Ate too fast). The wings were plump and juicy- mine were lightly dusted/battered so had a bit of a fried chicken feel, which I loved! I got dill flavour, and ranch dip.

It had rained the day we went and while indoor dining was bustling, we chose to sit outside on the patio, which was empty on arrival. Tables and chairs were wet but the weather changed and the sun shone again, drying up the area. We ordered several appetizers to share; bang bang shrimp (yummy), soup dumplings (yummy), spinach and artichoke dip (mediocre - have had better), sweet potato and regular fries plus dips (both very good) and dragon boat lettuce wraps (the crispy noodle and chicken with hoisin sauce and cashews was delicious and my favourite but the lettuce leaves had spoiled spots and seemed not to be thoroughly washed). I took the liberty of cleaning the lettuce before eating it. We also received dirty plates but bringing this to our server's attention quickly remedied the problem. Besides these minute concerns, the food and service and company were great! The patio filled up quite fast shortly after we placed our order and received our food. Arriving before dinnertime surely worked in our favour!

We went to the haddock. The fish portion is quite generous! We went with the 4 piece since there was 3 of us, but probably could have split the 2 piece haddock set! Fries are fresh cut so that's great. Would have liked them more well done. It did have a spot on order form asking what type of fries and I wasn't sure if you could check off 'fresh cut' and 'crispy'. Coleslaw was good and they have a decent amount of tartar sauce in a container. I am not a gravy person for fish n chips so we didn't have much of that but will save it for later.
