Fun vibe & good energy inside with neat art work! Staff is friendly. Menu has something for everyone!

If you like specialty coffees, you are in for a treat since they have a fun option for a mini coffee flight! They also have a kids menu!

Entry is a single door with a ramp on the inside. Servers were quick to seat my friend and I. Service was polite and timely. We both ordered our own "Teenage Feast" which included Two eggs prepared to your taste, thick cut bacon, sausage, choice of toast, served with dutch mini pancakes, butter parsley home fries / salad or half & half. I opted for scrambled eggs, home fries, and rye (they also had sourdough as an option!) The meal was very filling, could definitely be shared between two peckish people or saved as left overs for later. Meal has a blend of sweet and savoury, leaning more on the sweet side. The sausage is sweeter than others (I enjoy this but I know it's not for everyone. The Dutch pancakes are so cute and little, coated in icing sugar, and served with maple syrup on the side to dip. For drinks I ordered the Maple Foam Cold Brew. Make sure to stir/not put your straw at the bottom of the drink or you'll get a hit of maple! Once it's stirred it tastes great. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu (I'm eyeing the coffee flights)!

Overall the diner is setup like a typical, simple, breakfast diner, but they have The Flintstones playing on the TVs. There's lots of seating, so I have never had to wait. Servers are always happy, quick to refill coffees, and pleasant. The menu has lots of options to pick from. They have a large dinner menu too. The food is simple- so if you are looking for something seasoned or with very bold/unique flavour profiles this is not the place for you. The Bedrock Bistro is great if you're looking for affordable, well-portioned, classic breakfast food in Hamilton.

We were able to order before the kitchen closed for the day. They took our order and we paid then sat down to wait for our meals.

Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked good. Solid Hamilton brunch/cafe.

After being seated you'd order and pay at the cashier first. We had to ask for napkins and utensils. We tried the almond croissant. It tasted like it was a day old, it was a bit stale. Also tried the matcha latte and chai latte. Both tasted a bit watered down. The open face sour dough toast however was good. Tried the smoked salmon over scrambled egg and a fried egg over mushrooms. Both recommended.

This had a good mixture of pistachio and almond flavours. It was mainly almond ice cream with pistachio pieces. The only difficulty is that 30% of the pieces were a little too big for the straw; probably this flavour was never meant to be used as a milkshake. I had to take tge straw out and such out the pieces from the other end. Review 2025-255

As soon as I walked in, I was shocked at how far it had deteriorated to the point of disgusting. Ceiling tiles were falling down, dead flies in all the light fixtures in the ceiling, cracked seats with upholstery stuffing protruding and just a general feeling of filth and decay. I was ashamed and apologized to my friend, as we left. What an embarrassment to the city and people who have supported this business over the years. This place needs a major overhaul to bring it back to the place we all knew and loved. Because as it stands, this place is a dump!!!!

I was very impressed by the decor (very retro). After sitting for a few minutes, my friend and I ordered and within a short while we got our food. Fantastic amount and real fried potatoes not like the ones you get from the fast food restaurants. Price was right and service was excellent. No wonder the place has survived for so many years. I've been back a couple of times since and never disappointed. A must try.

Parking free in the parking lot across the street on Sundays.

Overall rating: 4.5/5 (rounded up on Yelp)…read more Truly one of the best brunch spots in Hamilton! There's something for everyone at Motel, whether you're a classic brekkie fan, vegetarian/vegan, or have a sweet tooth. The standouts that I recommend are their champagne pancakes (gold flakes, the thickest, decadent Devonshire cream, and raspberry champagne could on top of a giant stack of pancakes), their No Tell Eggs Benny (two words -- tater tots!), and their The Concierge (for all the classic brekkie meat lovers). Presentation is gorgeous, taste is top notch, and the price of their menu is on par with most brunch places. If I were to critique anything, I'd say that sometimes service can be inconsistent (e.g., when they're very busy) and the cleanliness of the floors & downstairs washrooms is ok but could be improved. Despite this, I think the food quality and overall cute motel-themed decor are worth the trip here.
