Things I love from HE: Rice Krispy Treats Steak Sub Salads Pot pie (ready and ready to heat) chicken salad (regular and pesto) Nice folks. Decent quality food. Prices aren't horrendous. Hours are very limiting if you work 8-4:30. read more

Just a simple little deli. All the times that we have gone, they have been packed. They only have seating inside, so be prepared to take your food to go. read more

In town for a sporting event and noticed this restaurant on Yelp. We're so glad we stopped in! The food is very fresh and the staff was friendly. There are only a few tables to sit at but we were able to grab one. There was a never ending stream of college kids picking up orders they had placed online. I had sesame chicken wrap and my partner had BLT on sourdough. We both enjoyed our picks. read more

Hamilton Eatery - Sesame chicken wrap - American Near Me - Hamilton, New York

Really cute little store/deli that serves the Hamilton area and Colgate. Was highly recommended on a student tour. Had a great veggie burger, good sandwiches, a soup of the day. Nice selection of take out beers. Perfect for picnic or students on the run. A few tables to eat in. Good! read more

I've eaten hundreds of BLT's in my life... it's my "go to" sandwich when at a deli and I'm not famished... seriously I have had plenty... from the sorry three strips of bacon, the outer laves of the iceberg head and a. Lice of hot house hard tomato with a spare schmere of Mayo. The bread can be under toasted or even over toasted... I just had the BEST BLT ever in my life... right here at the Hamilton Eatery. Properly toasted wheat bread, ample Mayo, lots of crispy bacon and ripe tomato slice... wrapped up nice and presented properly... all the proportions were correct, the textures as they should be and temps perfect as well... tomato, Mayo and lettuce were chilled and the roast and bacon were warm! Perfection! Will B Back read more

Good food. Easy to order online and pick up when ready. Always say hi when I walk in.

Super quick and tasty, perfect for a road trip. Friendly and affordable. We enjoyed the sunshine out back at picnic tables.

Very good deli. Had my first meal (lunch) here and thought it was very good. They have a nice selection of subs and signature sandwiches. I had a grilled roast beef sandwich with pepper jack cheese and it was a great lunch. A couple of things that I would call "minor" negatives were the fact there's not a lot of seating area for sitting in and during the lunch rush it's quite crowded (which is probably just a good sign that they're a good place for lunch) and it's quite a wait for your sandwich to be ready. The reality is it's a great place for lunch and the drawbacks are minor. I usually bring lunch when I'm working (which I was when I came in), but if not - I'll be back for sure for a good meal with good service. read more

Visiting Hamilton after several decades away and decided to stop here for lunch. Fast service, quality ingredients, heaven in every bite of the BOG and the Rueben sandwiches, all with a smile and friendly banter from the kitchen and front end staff! Highly recommend! read more

Man, I really like this place. A friend advised me to get the big Willy my first time, and I haven't strayed away; it's just so good. But honestly, unlike other restaurants where I'm comfortable ordering the same thing over and over again, everything on the menu here seems amazing! Really doesn't seem like you can go wrong. I'll definitely explore more of the menu next semester at Colgate. Other than that, I think the place has a really great feel. Classic deli sort of feel to it. Love that they have sides sitting out in a display case to pick from. I always go with whatever type of mac 'n cheese they have in there, and it never disappoints. Definitely one of my favorite places in Hamilton for lunch. read more

Cool place to stop for a quick sandwich in Hamilton. All the usual sandwich selections plus a bunch of grilled options. Full beverage line and beers as well. Only criticism I have is that they do not have a rest room. That seems crazy to me. How do you have a sit down establishment and not offer facilities? Anyway - if I lived in the Hamilton this would definitely be my local deli. However, based upon the lack of facilities - I can't recommend it to those just traveling through! read more

Good spot. Wish they made more chicken pot pie as it's great but they always seem to sell out :(

Best sandwiches in hamilton. I've been going there all throughout the past few years, consistently good!

Very cute place we visited while looking at Colgate University. Food is great but the people are even better. Very warm and welcoming small town sandwich and salad shop. read more

This place is a must!!! I got the Rachael and it was amazing! The sand was freshly made and the 1000 island dressing was the perfect compliment. The staff was friendly and I was in and out! Great job folks!! read more

Give this place some love. Hamilton needed a place like this. They make great sandwiches, service is friendly and they have a good beer selection not to mention some of the cheapest beer around, too. I usually get the Rachel, but I'm also a fan of burger monday. read more

Great food! The specials are all good, but the teriyaki rice bowls are my favorite! They also serve iced coffee letting you add your own cream and sweetener so it will be just how you want it. Large selection of specialty beers as well. The only bad thing is they close for most of the summer leaving us locals wanting! Don't forget to grab one of their delicious cookies for desert! read more

When I went to this establishment, they messed up my order. When I called, the woman who answered the phone, Nicky, was incredibly rude. She did not make me feel welcome to come back and get the right order that I wanted. I strongly recommend this establishment take a better look at who they are hiring to answer the phone and interact with the customers. read more

*^no restrooms** good sandwiches made quick and fresh. Limited seating. Clean casual ambiance

I just ordered two big takeout lunches this weekend and they were delicious. They were prompt and the people there were very friendly so we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend going to the eatery for the quality of what they put together and how much care they put into their orders. Thanks again for your help in making our graduation weekend terrific! read more

Hamilton needed a place like this, but they still have to get their timing down. Things take a while. I know that they use the grill for pretty much everything, but it's slow. Even when I called in an order, still had to wait once I got there. I'm never sure why since it never seems to be super busy. Also egg, bacon & cheese on bagel was $5.50 - really? Said bagels were from the Bronx, sounds more like Bronx grocery store freezer - not impressed. Big Willy is pretty good: turkey, cheddar, tomato & guacamole on sourdough ($7.95). Also the grilled cheese is tasty as well ($4.50). Awesome selection of beers. read more

If I had only $7 and needed to get something that would fill me to the brim there is no doubt I would get a veggie burger from the Hamilton Eatery. Now, with a few extra shillings I would most definately get guacamole and fried mushrooms and onions on it also. Add to that the AMAZING selection of beers, danceable tunes playing, huge variety of sodas, chips and their homemade rice crispy treats and cookies- this is the place to go for tailgating, take out lunches or just a restocking of your beer fridge. As with most places in town, if you can call ahead you save yourself time as this place gets busy!!! Love it! My kids absolutely love the bagels and breakfast burritos, too! read more

I agree with the review below. Hamilton desperately needed a great sandwich shop and the eatery has been a great addition. Quick even when they're packed, reliable menu items, yummy food. read more

Wow - great sandwiches!! It does take a few minutes but it's well worth the wait for a fantastic sandwich - I had the Rachel: turkey Ruben on marble rye- with great coleslaw instead of sauerkraut, and it was grilled just right! Totally tasty - and so good, we came back the next day! Good selection on the menu, sodas and chips as well so it's got everything you need. read more

So love the Eatery. Any food I have gotten here has been awesome. The only reason they get a 4 insted of a 5 is because they have strange hours sometimes. I have found they fallow the Colgate College break with there hours. I'm a local so I find it sad in the summer when they are closed and I really want a big willy sandwich. That is the only thing I would add to them have summer hours and post them. In really like when they post there specials on facebook as well, I wish more food places would do this. read more

This is my favorite place to sit and work, or just grab a quick breakfast in all of NYC. The owner has put so much energy into this place and has come up with some really amazing food options (my favorite is the "birds nest." Every single thing I have had here has been amazing and the prices are low. Great atmosphere and awesome people as well. Totally amazing. I am making this my NYC home base! read more

The raddest, hippest place in town. Has truly supported me with warm cookies and the perfect Mac and cheese whenever I've been down and is also a major supporter of campus groups. Nicest staff, most chill environment. Shout out to Clay! read more

Yes, yes & yes. I eat here so much for lunch I would buy stock in this company. Clay & the team are awesome. Best sandwiches in town and the salads are great too. Breakfast wraps are the best around. read more

Huge variety. Friendly service. Never gets old. Great sandwiches, Mac 'n cheese, desserts. Breakfast burritos only on weekends. Also good catering options. read more

Although this one-of-a-kind Eatery is closed for a month or so, they'll be back soon with all of their goodies you've been waiting for! I still wish they were open, but us locals don't frequent here as much as we should. Can hardly wait until the first week in August to pick up a hard to find 6-pack, and a delicious sandwich made by the awesome staff! Thanks, Clay for helping me see the light. See you guys soon. read more
