    My family and I go here all the time, and we're never disappointed. For my better half and I, we…read moreenjoy the selection of Good George beers. For my 5yo twins, they've enjoyed burgers from here since they were still being prammed around the city. Notably, there's ample room in the restaurant to fit a large pram, and there are large tables for large parties. Fight night (or afternoon, as the case may be) is always an interesting time to come to LT. It usually draws quite a crowd. So, if you're not into fight nights or crowds, call before you arrive. Plus, they're willing to book a table for you if you do call. When we first moved to Hamilton in 2016, LT had some growing pains. Like another reviewer said, they'd run out of staple food items on their menu. That seems to have been corrected over the years and ticking along very nicely. Have a go!

    I was a bit torn about giving this place a four or a three star rating. This is one of the new…read morerestaurants being offered after the extensive Sky City renovations. I came here for lunch with only my husband and we sat at one of the high-top tables out front. What I do really like here is the atmosphere. It has a comfortable but upscale brew house decor. The seating outside is good for people watching along Victoria Street. I had a glass of the blueberry gose, which was described to me as a sour wheat beer. I really liked it. My husband isn't a great fan of the Good George brews, so he had one of the non-house beers. If I was just rating my beer and the atmosphere, I would have given this place a four star rating. Then we get to the food. The server told us they were out of mussels and prawns. This took 3-4 options off the menu from the start. Not a great start (especially since the mussels were a big part of their advertised menu). I ended up having the chicken sandwich (added on fries) and my husband had the braised beef sandwich. The portion of add on fries was quite substantial, but they suffered a bit by looking a lot better than they tasted. I pretty much always finish up my fries but I left maybe half; they were just not that exciting. My sandwich was fine. A good portion and I did finish it, but it wasn't particularly exciting. My husband's sandwich was worse. I tasted it and the beef was really dry (how does this happen with something that should be braised?!). So, I'd definitely recommend this place for drinks with friends, probably not so much a place for kids and if your hopes aren't too high about the food then you'll have a great time.

    If I could give no stars I would. After paying for our meal and drinks, mid eating, the lady had…read morecome over and wanted to see proof of payment, even tho her partner working with her, said it went through 3 times! Standing there while I opened my bank account, telling her it went thru and her partner saying it did- I showed her proof of payment, she walked off. No apologies, just walked off laughing.

My steak meal had a piece of plastic in it, which I can live with but mentioned it at the counter anyway. I wasnt trying to get a discount but the girl told me the price I handed her the money and after I mentioned the plastic she said she would let the manager know and he come over and offered me a discount, the girl then gives me back my change which was less than I expected so I asked for the receipt. She then had to get the manager to come back and do a reprint of the receipt and I said the bill went up not down and straight away he said oh you didnt order wine did you? And I said no especially not in the few minutes i have stood here. He didnt realise the girl had already given me the total before he was called over to do the discount. He had knocked off $6 discount but then added a $10 glass of wine. Definitely check your receipt here! All the food had a ridiculous amont of parsley sprinkled on it. The restaurant was freezing cold aswel as the last time we come. I am glad we had jerseys with us.
